Himalayan Restaurants in Queens, NY

“Best Jhol Momo and Mustang Aloo — a must-try! The Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan is chef’s kiss. Unreal. I never get pics because I dive in the moment it hits the table. My weekly go-to!“

“We are so excited that this amazing Tibetan restaurant reopened in a new location after the original location burned down in February 2021. The support of the community helped make it possible for them to continue serving delicious food in Jackson Heights. It’s as good as we remember, and the staff members are so kind. Please support our favorite Tibetan restaurant if you have the chance. You won’t regret it! 🥰“

“Slow service because it's always busy!! Must try all their momo. Jhol Momo was my favorite, both chicken and goat. Perfect blend of spiced soup with the savory deliciousness of the momo. Think of it as a spicy soup dumpling. Their veg thupa was warm and delicious for a cold winter night, would recommend getting it with egg.
Fried rice and noodles weren't great - wouldn't recommend.
All their Thali's looked amazing as well!“

“One of the best Tibetan food in Jackson Ht.“

“Wonder Nepali Cusin in NY“

“Food was delicious.i always bring my guests who come from out of state here at Yak. Service is very nice too.“

“Best Momos in town..must try…👍🏻👍🏻“

“Loved coming here. Food is tasty and feels like home being in here. Customer service is amazing.“

“Great little spot for a mid-week dinner, especially if you like momos. It is tiny with only three tables but I didn’t have any problems. The service was super friendly and the food was excellent! I started with the wai wai sodheko, a dish I’ve not had before and it was so good. Like a crunchy instant noodle salad with lots of spices. And then the chef chili momos - also really good. And everything was really inexpensive. I’ll be back!“

“Weekender is the best spot for home cooked Bhutanese food! Taste and vibe reminds you of home and family, and it is a precious community space in Qns so show them love and spread the word 🤎🇧🇹🤎“

“Just come here.

You know you've never had Bhutanese food before. You know you don't even know where Bhutan is. So stop pretending to consider, get on that 7 train, and come here. The trek only seems daunting because you don't know how hard actual Bhutan is to get to (seriously, look it up...it's mission impossible).

Get everything. If you can't, get these:

- Ema Datsi: The national dish of Bhutan. Crunchy peppers breaded in cheese. How can you not?

- Cheese Momo: Dumplings got a glow up, and now they come with dairy. Yes, please.

- Sikam Paa: If you like thinly sliced pork belly and daikon soaked in delicious chili sauces, you've found your dish here.

- Shakam Shukam Datsi: Like eating chunky beef jerky stir-fried in the best white chili sauce ever. What's white chili, precious? Come here and find out.

- Goep Paa: I assume that if you've come this far for this cuisine, beef tripe is not going to daunt you. Good. You've leveled up to this dish and can enjoy the most kiu kiu (chewy-tender) tripe this side of dim sum.

- Jangbuli: Maybe the one miss, for me. Stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in various seasonings. Great texture, not enough flavor. Bland, compared to its companions.

Oh yeah, they serve butter tea here--so if you've ever wondered what yak milk tastes like hot (it keeps me up most nights), you can enjoy a cup here for $3.

Small indoor seating, but now that it's warm times, they have several tables outside for parties of 2-4 that can be rearranged for bigger groups.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taste of Himalaya, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warm, inviting aromas of authentic Himalayan spices, instantly transporting me back to the flavors of home.

The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with rich and complex flavors that perfectly balanced warmth and spice. The beef sukuti was a standout dish—perfectly seasoned, tender, and rich in flavor. It had that distinct smoky essence that brought back memories of traditional meals prepared with care and authenticity. The tingmo, a soft and fluffy steamed bread, was an ideal complement, perfect for soaking up the rich and savory flavors of the sukuti. The momo (dumplings) were also tender and flavorful, rounding out an exceptional meal.

What truly set this experience apart was how every bite evoked memories of home—family gatherings, celebrations, and the comforting sense of belonging. It’s rare to find a place that not only serves incredible food but also stirs the heart with a sense of nostalgia.

Taste of Himalaya is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey back home. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the true flavors of the Himalayas.“

“Overall, it was pretty good. Chili chicken momos were really good and stayed crispy even when cooked in sauce. The garlic naan was fantastic and very well made. The vegetable thali was overall really good, but the dal was a little bland, in my opinion. They're very generous with the amount of rice they give you.

I was a little disappointed by the tandoori chicken. It was a little underseasoned, and one of the pieces was very overcooked and dry. The butter chicken was made well and tasted alright; it was too sweet/not savory enough for me. Too much added sugar, personally.

Service was good.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. So many New York restaurants have food from various countries, but you don’t feel like the vibe matches the food. Everything felt very authentic and friendly and a bit like I was eating in a family kitchen. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down the best Nepalese food I’ve ever had. Chicken momos were layered w flavor inside and had thin and flaky wrapping fried crisp, thalis were stacked w so many seriously delicious components. Fish curry was tender, fresh, and complex. Plain lassi was the perfect compliment to it all. The service was outstanding, extremely attentive and helpful. Will absolutely be returning!“
