    Jhol Momo
    Patricia P.

    The menu is a little intimidatingly large in offerings. One side has Nepalese / Himalayan cuisine and the other has more Indian focused dishes. Momos were my highlight this meal. The sets seem the most approachable. Our crew was being adventurous and wanted to order random things to make our own set. We ordered 5 dishes and some sides to share amongst 4 people and it was a good amount.

    Chicken Jhol Momo
    Serena X.

    First off, wonderful customer service - my food was a bit late and the owner kindly offered me some chai to drink while I waited. There's plenty of seating inside. I ordered the Jhool momo with goat, spicy chicken momo, and aloo Tama. I liked the spicy momos better, especially because I like the texture of the half fried half steamed momos. The aloo Tama was a wonderful surprise as I loved the flavor of the bamboo shoots with the black eyed peas, and it's a great portion. I will definitely be returning to try more dishes, especially because of the kind service.

    Love everything about this place. The service is friendly and the dining room is huge. The dishes are both exotic and familiar so you can go in either direction. Every dish comes perfectly seasoned and it's consistently delicious. Definitely a local favorite

    Menu 9/2024

    Located on Queens Boulevard, with the 7 train and buses nearby; also metered street parking. Spacious dining area, and was not busy that weekday lunchtime. Service is great from the two young ladies there who were attentive and helpful. One side of the menu had items that looked more familiar, so focused on the signature ones. Prices may vary depending on the protein. Got the chicken sekuwa and the Ktm Khaja Set non-veg. The sekuwa has grilled meat in herbs and spices- juicy pieces of chicken, mix of spices/flavor is mild. The Khaja set reminded me of a thali but all on one plate. An assortment of tastes and textures. I liked the soybeans (crunchy, little spicy - I did ask for mild, could be a good snack), the chicken chollia and the fried fish (wished there were more than 2 tiny pcs). The puffed and fried beaten rice as accompaniments were new to me, interesting and thought went ok with everything else.

    Fish Dal bhat
    Vera T.

    Having lunch with friends here, we got Dal bhat with fish, chicken, also butter chicken with roti. It took awhile for our order to came out, but since everything looks freshly cooked. I won't say it's the best thali/ dal bhat in the area, but my friend said the butter chicken is very good. I would come back to try their tandoori, which i saw what everyone else ordering.

    Chicken Mo Mo
    Sol G.

    Everything we ordered was delicious -- the tandori chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender and moist. The naan with mozzarella was also very good. The chicken momo were excellent. All the sauces tasted good. The rice was well made. Overall a great experience, good food, good service and super affordable. We spent $53 for two people. Definitely recommend this local gem.

    Bhatmas Sandeko
    Sudeep S.

    They do carry the legacy of Bajeko Sekuwa overseas but lack little bit in terms of authentic flavors. Having said that I thoroughly enjoy their chicken Lollypop, Tauko Fry , Mustange Alo, Bhatmas sadeko but I would not recommend the Ktm veg khana which was below par . The most exciting part was drinking the Barasinghe beer which is very hard to find in other part of states . Ambience is great and service is good too .

    This was on my list of places to check out in the neighborhood since I live so close by and have never been here before. It was empty on Monday night, but as it got later on in the night, people started to come in, and it started to fill up. I'm wondering if it's normally like this on a weeknight. If it is, that's great! The service was great either way. Even though it got busy, they were still very attentive. My friend and I got the Cheese Naan, which was similar to a quesadilla (because it is filled with cheese and has the same texture). I enjoyed it a lot. We also ordered the jhool momo chicken dish. This is like a version of dumplings in this sauce, which made the entire dish salty. I wasn't too fond of it. We also tried the khaja set (non vegetarian). I couldn't eat all of it, but there was a mixture of nuts, vegetables, and meat. The one thing I really enjoyed was the cheese naan. I may have to try and explore other things off the menu to see what else I like at the restaurant.

    As soon as you walk in you feel like you are in a village in Nepal with their clay stove display. Very typical. The service was good one of the girls in our party (name starts with an Nis...and ends with a ma) thought one of the servers was cute lol. Food was very authentic and tasted exactly as I've tasted it in Nepal. On top of that the items on the menu you don't just find at just any Nepali place.. they even had bhuttan and tauko. If your are from Nepal or been there you know what I'm talking about. If you're not, you have to go and find out(be open minded). I honestly have not found another nepali restaurant this close to home like this one. So glad we made it to Queens just for this. Vibes!!!!!

    Timmure Chicken
    Maryellen S.

    I went here tonight. It was okay, but I won't go again. It was early so there weren't many people. Service was kind of odd. Maybe one of the servers was new. Decor was also spartan and odd. There are illuminated display spots on the wall with nothing in them...just lighted cubby hole areas with blank wall. I ordered Timmure chicken and both servers kept asking me if that's all I wanted and were suggesting additional dishes. I couldn't tell why, but eventually I realized the chicken dish I ordered didn't come with rice or any vegetables so they were trying to say it wasn't a complete meal. I ordered some garlic naan which was okay. Rice or potatoes wouldn't have made the chicken better. Butter chicken or tandoori chicken would probably been better choices. The chicken came right away. The club soda I ordered came afterwards and the naan eventually came when I was about 1/2 done with the chicken. One of the servers asked me if the chicken was too spicy, which it wasn't for me. I just wasn't super hungry so I ate 1/2 and took the rest home. There are plenty of other places to try in the area that are probably better. It was close to where I'm staying which is the main reason I chose it.

    I've not had much Nepalese food before so I'm glad I came with large group of friends so we were able to try a number of items. Our server was very helpful at explaining the menu and giving us recommendations. Almost all the dishes we ordered were quite delicious. We were very surprised by the Sukuti Sandheko which was fried but cold and almost like a jerky. We liked all the momos except for the chilly (fried) momos. We also really liked the crispy rice that came with the Ktm Khaja set. One of my favorite dishes was the bandel (wild boar) which was a deliciously fatty pork belly.

    ktm khaja set
    Brian S.

    this place is busier the later it is at night so if its empty that may be why. ive never been to a nepalese restaurant before but it was one of the only places open 10pm and I hadnt eaten all day - im glad I tried this place though! I got the ktm khaja set which had a bit of everything but my favorite was the gizzard and cold chicken cubes (meat, shocking). I also got the bone soup which was warming and comforting on fall days like these where it starts to get cold at night. The staff were very kind and large groups of nepalese (it looked) ppl were drinking until 11. Definitely authentic nepalese food if you want a culinary adventure!

    Best food I've ever had!! 10/10

    Delicious food! Tastes really fresh 10/10! Will come again. The lamb biryani is my go to now.

    Ask the Community - Bajeko Sekuwa

    Do they serve halal?

    Despite the owner's answer about the food being halal, most Muslims would disagree because there is a wild boar (pig) dish labeled as bandel on the menu.

    Does Bajeko Sekuwa serve alcohol? If so, is it a full bar or just beer and wine. If not, does it allow you to byob?

    Alcohol was served to the 4 of us. We drank beer. They were out of KingFisher beer. Not sure if BYOB and I recall a bar. Hope this helps

We decided to stick with the chicken sekuwa, the salmon curry and a side of roti. The chicken sekuwa was a great surprise, it came with like a puffed rice that was superglue to eat texturally and went great with the marinated chicken. The fries were not expected but very enjoyable as I love fries. The salmon curry was something very different so I definitely wanted to try that. The curry in itself was on the looser end, more like a soup however, the flavor was really good and the salmon was nice and tender. The roti was a lot more like a tortilla than what I was expecting but it was still enjoyable. Overall the food was definitely new to my palate and super light which I enjoyed and the service was great. The food did take a while to come out but the server did check up on us to let us know as well and helped us with getting sauces that we asked for.

The Chicken Chilly with Rice had tender chicken. I love the onions mixed in. It is not spicy, so you can ask for some house hot sauce (the waiter offered it) if you want more of a kick. The house hot sauce is has a spiciness that builds up! The rice was great for soaking up the sauce (I used it to soak up the johl as well). The Masala Tea had a great spice. I like adding some sugar to help balance the spices (I used ~1 packet, they give you 2, but I'm sure you can ask for more). i wanted to try the Lhaphing, but they don't make it anymore. Hopefully they update their menu to reflect that. Overall, a nice chill space for a small group or solo diner. A couple of the other diners were working on their laptops (like a cafe!)

The food types are similar but offer different spice/flavor profiles. They have a large section of noodles, soup, and rice. A veggie section with various combos of cauliflower, potatoes, onion, bamboo, blackened peas, mustard greens, and spices. Some of the Indian dishes: paneer butter masala, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala. Some of the appetizers include crispy tofu, fried soybeans, a Nepali snack platter with marinated meat, goat, beef tripe, sliced beef tongue, fried jerky, duck. They also have a momo section. We had their famous chicken lollipops (essentially fried chicken) and it was crispy and spicy (in a good way). We also had sadeko (marinated or tossed) bacon, which was rich and tender.

    A bit overrated and overshadowed by the nice ambiance…read more I may be biased since I've been to Nepal twice and my palate consisted of dal bhat every single day I was there (momos were a luxury on the trek)--which in no way makes me an expert, but the taste and portions were pretty consistently similar among most places. The first time that I came here was about 3 years ago with a few friends and we liked the food - the beef tongue was different and super memorable and the jhol momos were just swimming in flavorful curry. Made me want to come back again. Fast-forward three years later, I feel like things have changed significantly. Or maybe I didn't catch them at their best, but I came with another group of friends and I just felt overall disappointed with the food, as did my friends who were excited to try Himalayan food for the first time. I had the goat dhat bhat and the small amount of meat served in aesthetically pleasing bowls to mask the portion was disappointing--and this was not a lunch special or anything. I mainly got a big bone and realistically got about 2-3 small bites of actual meat, while there was an overwhelming amount of rice and veggies. The momos also tasted like they were pre-made and heated or steamed up again because the dough was definitely a little rough. Overall, this experience was a meh for me. I think it is a social staple for many Nepalese and Tibetans in the area, and just for that.

    Best Momos around!…read more If the title doesn't tell you everything, this review will. I found out about this place months ago and it was finally time to give it a try. My spouse and I are always down to find good momos, and this being close by and Tibetan cuisine, it was definitely a must. Ambience: It seats a decent crowd. It has nice Tibetan artwork and you feel the warmth from the owners. It's cozy and it felt great. Service: Top notch. I don't say this lightly. The server sat us down and was just so joyful. Her smile and demeanor made you feel welcomed. Brought us water and asked the usual and offered to explain any dishes. Now we are onto the good -- might I say great -- part. THE FOOD. We didn't order momos on our first visit. Food: My wife got the Himalayan Rice set (chicken) and I got the Rildok. We also got the Shabhaley -- from the description I thought it was literal meat. The Shabhaley, to put it, looks like an empanada. It was far from it in the best possible way. The pastry was crisp but soft and the beef filling was divine! Seasoned with so much flavor and it was paired with a beautiful sauce. The Rildok was exquisite. In my opinion -- I even told one of the servers, whom I now know is one of the owners, that the flavor profile reminded me of a cheeseburger, and it's my favorite new dish. The Himalayan Rice set was awesome. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The tingmo (like a bread) was soft and delicious, paired well with the chicken. The dal reminded me of my own homeland's dal. We've now been back here multiple times. My goal is to try the entire menu. The vegetable khoty momo was surprisingly my favorite, and I'm someone who loves meat. I've now had all the flavors and preparations of the momos, and you can't go wrong! This place is a gem. Their quality of food is top notch, and their actual aunties are in the back making this with so much love. I want everyone to try it. The owner and his staff are amazing and welcoming. They remembered me from my second visit, and that speaks volumes. They're all down to earth and it shows. The passion they have for their food and their kindness shines through. Parking: Can be rough depending on time of day.
