“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!“

“Elevated yet approachable, with spot-on attention to detail. Creative cocktails and draft beer. Seasonal and unique take on traditional cuisine, and on top of it all, truly genuine hospitality. Muchas gracias, Ravi, Maddie and Gloria. You are absolutely killing it here.“

“We are so excited that this amazing Tibetan restaurant reopened in a new location after the original location burned down in February 2021.

Please support our favorite Tibetan restaurant if you have the chance. You won’t regret it! 🥰“

“this was my first time eating at Nangma and I enjoyed my experience. The workers were very attentive and handled our food with care. The crispy mala fish was one of my favorite dish there. I would definitely be returning to this restaurant.“

“There were several tables available at 1p on a Saturday. We were able to sit a party of 5 immediately. We ordered 1 plate of 8 delicious fried beef momo's. The momo's are on the bigger side and had lots of juice/soup in the bites. Be careful of temperature! It came with sauces to accompany it with.“

“My name is Bijaya KC, and I live in California. While visiting New York, I had the chance to try the food here, and it was honestly one of the best Nepali meals I have had in the United States.

Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of authentic flavor. The dal, rice, vegetables, pickles, and meat dishes were all prepared perfectly. The flavors were balanced, comforting, and reminded me of meals back home in Nepal. You can tell that the food is made with care and attention to quality.

What I liked most was that the food did not feel like typical restaurant food. It felt like a home-cooked meal made by family. Every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and served in generous portions. The homemade pickles and traditional Nepali flavors really stood out and made the meal memorable.

I have tried Nepali food at many places across the U.S., but this experience was special. It brought back memories of home and gave me a sense of comfort that is hard to find when you are far away from your country.

If you are looking for authentic Nepali food in New York, I highly recommend this place. The quality, taste, freshness, and overall experience were excellent. I would definitely come back again the next time I am in New York.

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Great experience overall. The food was really good. I ordered the paoze, and while it could’ve used a little more salt, it was still tasty. The service was what really made the visit stand out. The server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. I’d definitely come back again, especially because of how great the service was.“

“We always go to Red Panda Restaurant, and it never disappoints! I’ve tried the beef, pork, fried fish, and lollipop chicken—all were really good. The beef jerky is also really good.
My favorite is the vegetable thali. I absolutely love it—so flavorful and satisfying every time.
Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“We had a wonderful experience hosting our running group event at Arya Café. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly from start to finish — exactly how it needed to be for a large group.

The food was delicious, the service was organized and welcoming, and our huge group of runners left truly satisfied and happy.

Thank you to the Arya Café team for the great cooperation and for helping make the event such a success. We’re looking forward to coming back and working together again in the future!

“We always come and get whole bag of Selroti when we visit NY. No other place makes sel like them. And if you have not had or know what Sel is it’s regarded as Nepali Dougnut but personally it’s something completely different. Chia and Sel combo is the best and this is the place to get.“

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

“I visited the Potala Fresh Food truck. These are my favorite momo in the city! The momo are so fresh and juicy you have to lean over the container or plate when you eat them, it’s that juicy! I typically get the beef but they have chicken and other varieties as well. I love that you can also order them frozen if you need a large amount for a home event.“

“It's good, but, since I am a Nepali and have tried their food back home, I'd say it's not the same as it was back home. But, then again, ingredients change the taste, so, I would say this place is worth trying and you never know you might love the food. :)“

“First time trying Tibetan liang fen and Lhasa Liang Fen did not disappoint. The liang fen was refreshing, spicy, and packed with bold flavors. The momos were juicy and comforting, and every dish felt authentic and full of character. Generous portions and reasonable prices.“

“My wife and I recently visited Laliguras Restaurant in Jackson Heights, and we had a wonderful experience. This small neighborhood spot is truly a hidden gem and deserves more attention.

I ordered the goat with potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. The goat was tender, well-seasoned, and full of rich, authentic flavor. The potatoes soaked up the spices perfectly, and everything on the plate tasted fresh, comforting, and homemade. The portions were satisfying, and you could tell the food was prepared with care.

The restaurant may be small, but the quality of the food makes a big impression. I highly recommend stopping by Laliguras Restaurant and supporting this local business. Come hungry and try the goat—you will not be disappointed!“

“I ordered the momos as an appetizer, and they quickly became the highlight of my meal. The filling was juicy and flavorful, while the wrapper had the perfect texture. They were served hot and tasted incredibly fresh. The quality and attention to detail were impressive. I will definitely be back for more.“

“The food is great. I have been eating at this spot for a couple of years. I stopped going when we got hit with the pandemic; now, I’m back.“

“Delicious food , clean, friendly staff“

“What a great Chicken Taco customized to my liking. I am especially happy that Nadia who is the manager is so nice and always super helpful. When Nadia is there I can trust that my dinner will be exactly what I want. Such a great rep for Wonder!!“

“This food truck serves some of the heartiest momo on the streets of Jackson Heights. We got 8 thick and meaty beef momo for $8 at Amdo Kitchen. The go-to sauces here are the red sauce and white sauce. The halal momo are complimented with a thicker, chewier dough than other momos - it takes me three bites to finish each one. Amdo Momo is a favorite for those looking for an authentic taste of Tibetan cuisine. Don't forget to ask for the side of radish!“

“A True Gem, Incredible Thalis & Outstanding Service.

Himalayan Restaurant & Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food is absolutely phenomenal, especially the thalis. Every time I order one, I’m impressed by the variety, balance, and authenticity. The rice is perfectly cooked, the lentils and curries are rich and flavorful, the vegetables are fresh, and every small side adds something special to the plate. It’s a complete, satisfying meal that feels both comforting and thoughtfully prepared.

What truly makes the experience even better is the service. Prekshya is an excellent server, genuinely kind, attentive, and always welcoming. She has such a warm personality and makes you feel valued from the moment you walk in. She’s a sweetheart and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect.

If you’re looking for authentic Himalayan flavors with beautiful presentation and heartfelt hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Delish good. Friendly service. Excellent prices.“

“The chicken momos here are sooo good. It comes with the soup even if you don’t ask for it, which makes the experience of eating momos here much better. Of course you can request them to not add the soup in though. Also, the bubble tea here is really really good. It tastes exactly how the fruit is supposed to taste (ex: lychee bubble tea does taste like lychee). Since it mostly just serves bubble tea and momos, I’ve only tried those and giving feedback for them. Service is great, they’re so respectful and nice to you. Atmosphere gets 4 stars because the place isn’t always comfy. The pricing is great too.“

“Soups momo was so good“

“What I usually get here are the samosas. There seems to be two main types, chicken and vegetables (potato and peas). They're $1.50 each (which is a steal!) and are generously sized!!

The chicken samosas are crunchy, and the mix of flavors, ingredients, and spices mesh extremely well. My Bengali friends say the chicken samosas are as good as it gets which may be true, but maybe it's not quite mind blowing enough for me to give anything higher than 8.5/10 - still one of the best samosas I've had to be sure

The vegetable samosas are different in a few ways. To start these samosas aren't as crunchy, and the filling tastes a little more spiceful and flavorful compared to the chicken variation. The texture is definitely more mushy because of the potato filling, but still good. 8/10.

There's a ton of good looking Bengali food at this joint so I'm definitely curious to try more but the samosas here are bomb!“

“I ordered mutton Taas, dindo mutton thali and khuwa yomari. I was surprised to taste such a delicious Taas ever in my life, not even while in Nepal. I would recommend to try mutton taas for sure. Dhindo thali was amazing too but taas won it. Yomari is my another favourite desert, coming from the same community where this is a separate festival "Yomari purni", i ordered it all the times when I am here.“
