Calling all spicy food lovers - head to Spicy Nepal ASAP. Continuing our Nepalese food tour in Sunnyside, we finally tried Spicy Nepal and it did not disappoint, especially in the heat department. We ordered the Bhatamas Saandeko (fried soy beans - wow!), Vegetable Pakora, Chili Chicken Momo, and the Fish Thali. All were perfectly spicy and had lots of flavor. We definitely put that Mango Lassi to good use b/c there were a lot of sniffles. The location (39-35 47th Ave) is tucked away, so I'm bummed that they're almost always empty when I pass by. Hoping more people will give them a shot b/c I certainly will! The prices are also pretty reasonable.

Lots of tibetan/nepalese places in Sunnyside/Jackson Heights, and I'd say this is the best one. Better than Dawa and cheaper! We got thukpa, butter chicken curry, and the Chili Pork Momo. Thukpa was solid, butter chicken curry was good, but the Chili Momo. Oh my god. They were AMAZING. Truly the best momo I've ever had. The PERFECT amount of spiciness. So juicy. Ugh. So, so, so good.

Hole in the wall vibes but plenty of seating. Got the butter chicken masala and it was so good I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Friendly service!

Delicious authentic Nepalese food! Friendly service and good prices. No alcohol on the menu, but some guests BYOB.There's a lot of Indian options on the menu but if you ask the staff, they can direct you to the Nepalese specialties.

Came here with a group of 10 and was blown away by the flavors! Everything was delicious, it doesn't matter what you order. You can check out my photos to see the dishes I don't remember their names. The heat level is high but didn't make my head sweat like Indian food, so that was nice. Service was great and attentive, and they even gave us some type of fritter on the house. Can't wait to return!

Was really in the mood for momos and these did not disappoint. Great selection of momos and they were exactly what I wanted. The rest of the menu also has a great variety, including variety in which meats you can get with each dish. I do wish that the platter had come with more meat. Overall the flavoring of everything was great. And the waitress was excellent.
Love, Love, Love this Nepalese restaurant! I very rarely write a review immediately after returning home from dinner, but I just wanted to get the word out so everyone can GO! I'm actually shocked that there haven't been more reviews for this place since it's been open for a few months. Tonight, 10 of us went to Spicy Nepal for dinner. There weren't too many people dining this night. It may be because it was raining heavily tonight, but that didn't stop us! lol This isn't a fancy restaurant but the food speaks for itself. They have a lovely outdoor dining area in their garden area but that wasn't an option on this rainy evening. Service and hospitality were terrific; very warm and welcoming. They even gave my group complimentary Veg Pakora Appetizers! Their menu is full of many interesting items. Here is our menu tonight (shared by 5 ppl): APPETIZERS: - Veg Pakora (complimentary-thank you!!): these Pakoras were fresh out of the oil and very good. It came with two sauces; one spicy and another milder. Both complimented the Pakoras nicely. - Wai-Wai Sandeko ($6.95): this is kinda like a dry noodle chat. Tasty and addictive! - Kothey Pork Momos ($10.95/8 pcs): These Momos are among the best I've been had. The pork filling was plentiful and well seasoned. Just delicious. Get These!! - Bhatmas Sandeko ($7.95): this is kinda like a dry soy bean chat. Very good! MAINS: - Lamb Sekuwa (15.95): this dish was so flavorful and delicious. My only complaint is is that there wasn't a lot of lamb. - Beef Sukuti ($15.95): The dry beef is more of a jerky type meat. Great flavor but the texture of the meat is hard; great dish nonetheless. - Chicken Choila ($13.95): This was probably the meatiest dish we had. Generous portion of chicken; delicious and flavorful. Recommended! - Dhindo w.Goat ($15.95): Hands down, this is the most unusual dish! Everyone had two questions: "what is this?!?!" and "how do we eat this?!?!". LOL!! Dhindo is essentially a simple mixture of hot water and ground grain. At Spicy Nepal, it came with a bunch of sides: goat curry, veg, sauces and a tiny Gulab Jamun dessert. Honestly, the Dhindo itself tasted bland, but once you put the accompaniment on it, it was Delicious! I wouldn't order this as my only entree but definitely great to try with others. - Goat Biryani ($16.95): the flavors were much milder than your usual Indian Biryani, but still a tasty biryani; albeit not much meat in it. All in all, a fantastic meal! We're already plotting a return trip so that we can try other menu items. Also, see my photos for a 10% discount!

Didn’t really know what I was ordering except for the Tandoori Chicken…holy balls!!! It was amazing and so was everything else we ordered! We got a jazzy platter of something which was delicious! I called them since I had so many questions about what was what and the owner (I think he was the owner) was super patient, very kind, and an all around gentleman! Please go here! It’s so good! Let’s support this lovey, local business! I’m dreaming of tandoori chicken!
