Dawa's, a quaint and cozy restaurant located in Skillman Avenue, offers an exceptional dining experience with its delectable Nepali and Tibetan-inspired cuisine. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular MOMO veggie, thenthuk, jhasa katsa, and the dessert yomari. The drinks, such as imli raas and jaal jeera, are praised for their sweetness and refreshing flavors. The MOMO, though vegetarian, is described as having a great exterior texture and served with delicious sauce, while the thenthuk is a standout dish with its chewy noodles and perfectly balanced broth, offering warmth and comfort. The jhasa katsa, served with a steamed bun, is also a highlight, with the chicken being sweet, spicy, and incredibly tender. The laphing is spicy and acidic, a favorite among guests, and the buckwheat roti adds a unique touch. While the yomari dessert may not have been a favorite and some wish for more regional non-alcoholic options, the overall dining experience at Dawa's is consistently praised for its excellent food, warm atmosphere, and wonderful service. This hidden gem in Woodside serves delicious Himalayan food with a modern touch, making it a cozy place to enjoy dinner.
