Another stop on my first Jackson Heights food tour. This Nepalese spot offers Nepali foot,…read moreBhutanese food, Tibetan food, and Indian food. 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. I had one of their Nepali cocktails, which was pleasantly spicy (the chatpata aam, made with tequila, spicy chatpatey syrup, and mango puree). Service was attentive. Inside is cozy, lots of dark wood and colorful flags. They also often have entertainment in the evening, so I would love to return to hear some live music while trying more Nepali cuisine.

The place isn't huge but it is a good size and was able to accommodate us. There were many appetizers on the table that were very delish. A hit for me were the seasoned potatoes, Aloo Dum (dry). I ordered the Shogo Ngopa and decided to go with tingmo instead of the white rice. Trying something new! Also ordered a mango lassie. Food came out fresh, warm and delicious. The tingmo reminded me to a steamed bun with out the filling but with layers. Everything was good. Everyone was friendly and kept our water glasses filled. At 9pm there was live music which was a nice treat. They even sang happy birthday to our friend. Nice place and will definitely try again!

Basically it's ting thuk but with tiny beef momo inside. Also got the turmeric ginger tea, as the day was really chilly. Overall it was fantastic food, with the beef momo being outstanding. It comes with the red pepper sauce already on top, though I usually like a little bowl of the stuff with my momo. It was way too much food but the momo, especially the potato momo, heated up very well the following day, meaning it was moist enough inside to keep it going. We'll definitely return.

I love this place...maybe they were having an off night. I live far enough away that coming here is a treat, and tonight I was disappointed.

I ordered the…read morevegetarian Thali, which is an Authentic Nepali combination platter of vegetables (tofu), lentil soup, potatoes with string beans, mustard greens, yogurt, papadam, chutney and rice. It was a good portion, enough for one to finish. The lentil soup was on the saltier side, and the potatoes with string beans tasted a little fishy. But, altogether, everything was an interesting mix. I felt like I was eating a mix of Chinese- and Indian-inspired food. The mustard greens reminded me of Chinese fare, while the touch of spicy chutney reminded me of Indian cuisine. After the main meal, I tried their fried green tea ice cream. The dessert was beautifully presented, and tasted as I would have expected: a touch of bitterness from the green tea ice cream, covered in batter. While the food was maybe a 4, the ambiance was easily a 5. The artwork was breathtaking! Whoever commissioned the artwork did a great job. At night, they dim the lights and add (fake) candles, so the artwork stands out even more, and the ambiance feels soothing. Service was good. The owner was very accommodating. All in all, Namaste Brooklyn is in a great location in Brooklyn and offers patrons a trip to a different part of the world. Check it out if you're nearby!

We order some of the top three dishes which included the sauteed noodles, the steamed momos, and the chicken curry.   I would like to try the spicy beef next time (looked like other tables were ordering it and I felt jealousy) I did enjoy the flavor of the noodles and the momos. The curry wasn't really anything that stood out to me. Service was fast and there were a few people waiting while we ate. Small place so try to only bring people you like.

It was a nice cross between Chinese and Indian with many cooking techniques and flavors melded from both. It's a no frills spot that gets the basics right, we ended up splitting some beef momos (the hot sauce paired with them was divine), I got the traditional Tibetan noodle soup with shrimp (would recommend a different protein), and my friend got a spicy lamb (?) dish that he seemed to enjoy. There is plenty of seating inside, but chairs can be a tad uncomfortable. Fortunately food comes quick so you may not have to sit for long! The service was fast and efficient and refilled our waters / provided extra napkins when we asked. I would definitely return when in the mood for Tibetan food.

My friend and I decided to share everything. We ordered: GARLIC NAAN 5/5 These garlic naans were probably the best we've both tried. As soon as we took a bite, we are both impressed. And to think that we would have missed out if our server didn't suggest it... These particular naans are made different from the traditional Iones. They are coated with buttery goodness and are super thin. The hummus on the side was also a very good pairing. I would recommend this app. PORK JHOL MOMO 5/5 These pork momos were also super delicious! Comparing it to the ones I've had at another restaurant, there is no overpowering cilantro in this one! The momo itself was very juicy. The flavor of the inside and the soup was delicious. Another must-get! CHICKEN KHAJA PLATTER 4/5 My friend and I were probably the least impressed with this one. A lot of the dish includes a lot of dry ingredients like popped rice & soybean seeds. They also used cold meats and veggies. It was great to try each portion of the platter, but wasn't our personal favorites of our visit here. Overall, we had a delicious lunch. We throughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely recommend this local spot. I did think it was worth the trip over.

The food was fresh, well-spiced, and served piping hot. We ordered all vegetarian--chilli momos, potato with black-eyed peas, bamboo shoot curry, and dal with garlic naan and rice. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. For a bit of nostalgia, we ordered Kingfisher beer, but realized the version here in the U.S. tastes quite different from what you get in India--not quite the same experience. Overall, a solid weekday dinner. Word of caution--if you ask for extra spicy (like I did), they actually deliver on it, so choose wisely! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try--especially for the food.
