Himalayan Restaurants near Woodside, NY

“Family party enjoying an engagement and birthday. Wanted a menu that catered to all. One side was Nepali and Tibetan. The other side was American. Think fried chicken sandwich. Awesome all around had a group of 10 all accommodated and others in restaurant were seated in 2 and 4's. Tasty food dumplings or mono shared and eaten. Vegetarian in family easily accommodated. Thank you Dawa's“

“This place in Queens was such a wonderful find! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish packed with authentic Nepali flavors that felt like a true taste of home. Every bite was rich and satisfying, and you could tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff was also welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. If you’re craving real Nepali food, I highly recommend Red Panda—it’s a place that does justice to our amazing cuisine!“

“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.“

“Great to have some solid momos in the area!
Came on a Saturday night and we sat down right away. The servers were very friendly and took the time to explain each part of the Thali we got.

Food:
- veg thali (4/5) - this is definitely a good bang for your buck, given that you can ask for refills. My favorite was the pea dish.
- veg jhol mojos (4.5/5) - nice deep flavor, the momos were solid. I’d be curious to try the chili ones and the fried ones next time.
- mango lassi (5/5) - everything you want mango lassi to be.

The vibe was pretty causal and they have a few tables for sit down“

“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! 🥰“

“Tried the squash served with dal and rice, potato and veggie momos (they let us do half and half) and the black chana salad. I genuinely liked everything. Medium spice was perfect. Reasonable prices. My only note is this is a small place and it does get loud.“

“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.“
