This place brings me back to my Nepal travels! Delicious momos and dal -- and more -- let's dive in ... Dal (5/5): This lentil soup is a perfect consistency, uber flavorful, and rich aromas! Chicken momo (4/5): A nice big bite of chicken with tasty seasoning. Comes with two spicy sauces that bring the heat! Beef and chive momo (5/5): Very rich flavor of beef paired with the sharper green onion. The sauces with this are even spicier -- proceed at your own risk! Worth dipping a chopstick in for the depth of flavor in each though. Butter Masala Chicken (4/5): This was ordered mild and was a nice sweet dish to balance out all the spicy elsewhere. I wish the Marsala came through even more but the buttery flavor coats the mouth nicely. Chicken Manchurian Ball (5/5): This dish is not a ball as the title suggests, but instead fried chunks of breaded chicken in a toothsome sauce. In any event, I'm not mad. The flavor isn't shy and the heat is a nice slow burning feel. This was ordered spicy. I would order it medium or spicy next time depending on my mood. Garlic Naan (5/5): Buttery, garlicy, and nice air pockets. Hits the spot and a must-dip in both chicken dish sauces -- of which they provide you plenty! Customer Service (5/5): I did take out and asked for two spicy sauces on the side upon arrival and said please charge me for the side -- but the lovely hostess refused to charge me anything extra. The pickup process is easy. I was there while another couple arrived to do the same and restaurant staff were on top of it all. Ambiance (5/5): I was picking up but the place has cute decor. Love the colorful prayer flags throughout -- reminds me so much of my Nepal trip! TL;DR: This new restaurant should be on everyone's try list! It's a wide menu with something for everyone but make sure no matter what that you add momos to your order. read more

I'm sad since I wanted to like this place. The people are nice and they opened recently. The restaurant is located in old D Thai restaurant. I think what makes me sad is that the food we got was nothing like anything pictured in menus and online. Everyone else got very full looking dishes and very meaty skewers. Honestly as I continue writing this review and look back at the photos of the menu I think it was complete false advertising (don't know whether to laugh or cry, but progressively more annoyed). We didn't get anything that resembled what was pictured in the menu. There are better Himalayan restaurants both north and south of here. Mango Lassi -10/10: very watered down mess. Literally tasted like water was added to normal lassi to thin it out. Texture was like juice not thick nor creamy, and more like flavored water. Sekuwa: supposedly skewered grilled meat that was recommended to us; the pictures are of chunks of meat, but instead it looked like someone cut up one piece of a singular small lamb chunk into 8 very thin slices (onion thin) and rearranged them in straight lines to make it look like it came off a skewer. On a thin bed of onions and green pepper. For a $17 entree I'd expect actual chunks of meat - just Google a sekuwa, then look at my photos of the paper thin meat. Definitely not the same thing. I did like the char flavor of the grilled meat, but there was really not more than one meager bite per person. Looking back I don't think I should have even been charged for this dish as it was more weight in veg than meat. I looked at photos on yelp and those people had CHUNKY meat, so I'm not sure what went wrong. (Note: photo makes it look larger bc the "skillet" but that's a small skillet and meat is like 4" in length, like roughly 2.25 lime wedge lengths) Chicken Butter Masala: I do like that they made the chicken thinly sliced so it wasn't as dry as all other establishments. Dish was very very sauce focused and lacked protein, like maybe it's the same as 2-3 pieces of normal restaurant chicken chunks (sliced thin for the illusion of more meat), same pattern throughout the whole meal -- lack of protein or watered down. In the picture you literally can only see one piece. Palak Paneer 0/10: First off, visually it looked wrong. It was not green but red. Same problem with too much sauce but none of main ingredients specified in the name. Very sad bits of spinach inside a weirdly tomato based sauce and was watery vs thick. Again with skimping out on protein - only 3 chunks swimming in sauce. We ordered mild and it was medium; they messed up a few orders around us tonight as well but we didn't complain about anything. New restaurant maybe working out the kinks. This dish was too salty so no one ate it. Lamb korma: didn't taste the cashew much and like the chicken, lamb was diced so small vs the usual chunks you get elsewhere. Best tasting of the three curries we ordered. Visually looked similar to the butter masala chicken. Rice: give you a ton, probably meant to just eat saucy rice instead of protein here. Naan: ordered garlic and cheese options. There's an almost gooey chewy texture to it? Maybe undercooked? Not sure. Doesn't compare to naan elsewhere at the very least. Puri: when the naan got deep fried it was nice and crispy and not too greasy. Service: the waitresses there are very nice; service when busy is pretty slow, the food order was a bit funny too (couple curries came out well before any naan). I like the colorful flag decor inside and outside. read more

We ate here on Sunday evening, at the unusual time of 7:30. Even though it was late, and the weather was terrible, we still had a lovely experience. This is a small restaurant in Thornwood, NY that serves Nepali, Indian, and Indo-Chinese food at a reasonable price. The walls are decorated with scenes from Tibet (the owner's wife is Tibetan), and a picture of the Dalai Lama hangs over the cash register. The service is wonderful, our waitress was very attentive, and answered all of our questions. The owner even came out at the end and chatted with us. My favorite dishes here were the chicken and noodle soup and the garlic naan. The momo, which is a classic Nepalese dumpling, were very good as well. When I come back, I will definitely try more of the Nepalese specialties. Customers who are used to having their tandoori chicken red, should be aware that this restaurant does not use any artificial food dyes. Overall, I had a great experience, and I can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

Love this new Himalayan spot, right off the Saw Mill Parkway. Such great value and so good. This spot started as a food truck, currently at the Pleasantville Farmer's Market, and now they've opened their first restaurant. Delicious chicken, veggie, beef and chives momos. Comforting, healthy thukpa soup, like a heartier chicken soup with more veggies and thicker noodles. The Thali set is unbelievable value for $15, giving you the chance to sample chicken curry, black lentils, cauliflower and potato, rice, and even dessert. Coming back to try the owner's butter chicken, which I hear is the best, and their mango lassi. 5 stars!!!! read more

My son and I stopped in for the dumplings that we have had from the Pleasantville Farmer's Market and ended up staying for a multi-course meal. We were treated to a cultural lesson on the history of Indo-Chinese cuisine, and then had the pleasure of enjoying it. Along with the dumpling platter, we had the chicken tikka masala and the veg korma, both spiced to order, along with the veg fried rice. We liked that the sauces were a thicker consistency than what we are used to in other Indian restaurants, which are also very good around here. It's understandable that the World Cup was on the TV, but hopefully there will be music the next time we visit. There was a 20% "happy hour discount, as we were dining between mealtimes. The place started to fill up and there were lots of takeout orders during our visit. We would highly recommend Sikkim Hut, the Taste of the Himalayas. read more

Sikkim Hut The Taste of Himalaya is a new restaurant that just opened in January. This amazing restaurant offers authentic Himalayan, Indian, and Indo-Chinese cuisine. My husband and I really enjoyed this place, our first time trying Himalayan food. The variety of dishes were endless and the food was beautifully presented. We ordered the masala chai, crispy veg fritters, beef sekuwa, mix momo platter, and Nepali thali chicken set. Everything was so incredible and flavorful. Lovely decor, excellent service, dog-friendly, a true gem, definitely a repeat spot. The owners, Chef Dendup Sherpa and his wife, Dawa Tsamchut were perfect hosts and so welcoming. I can't wait to go back and try everything else. read more

OMG this place is amazing-if I could give it 10 stars, I would! It has only been open for about a month and it is not to be missed. It is immediately next to the Thai Restaurant in a small plaza downstairs in Thornwood. It is a mix of Himalyan, Tibetian and Indian dishes. They have so many unique dishes which I have never seen anywhere else. I got the soup with the Chicken Momo's in it and it was amazing. The Momo's were so flavorful and delicious. The broth of the soup also was like nothing I have ever had. It was a mix of lemon and spicy type of flavor which was so nice. I basically finished every last drop of the soup. We also split some Naan for appetizer and others at my table ordered some more traditional Indian Dishes which were perfect-great flavor and taste. The place is very cozy and absolutely serves perfect comfort food, especially on a cold night, when we went during a snow storm! The servers and staff are super friendly and welcoming. The menu is so unique-there were many things I wanted to try and have never seen anywhere else--I will need to go back many times to try all the dishes (which I look forward to!) The owner (chef) and his wife, recently opened the restaurant. The owner has been a fixture at the Saturday Farmer's Market in Pleasantville, selling his delicious momo's every week. The restaurant is open 7 days/week and the owner and his wife take great pride in the restaurant. The chef came out and spoke to us for about 15 minutes at the end of the night-asking how our meal was and how we found out about the restaurant. All the food he said, is made with no preservatives or added dyes/coloring. Food does take a while to be served because it is all made to order from scratch. We all loved our dishes and will absolutely be going back soon. The owner/chef made us feel so welcome and he kept thanking us for coming to dine there. Throughout our stay--many folks came in to get pick-up orders as well. This is the type of place you want to do well because of their unique menu/cuisine and the pride they take in their cooking and good service. Run - do not walk to this restaurant! I promise you will not be disappointed (next time we want to get the Thali-basically a sampling platter of a bunch of Indian Dishes-the folks sitting next to us got that and it looked amazing.) This type of restaurant is so needed in Westchester (besides the Himalayan Restaurant in Scarsdale on Central Avenue)-this is the only other option. You can taste the precision and care with every dish. I will be visiting as much as possible (especially before the word gets out and this place is packed...). read more

Without a doubt, it's a must try. Ordered the garlic naan, chicken lollipop (sauce on the side), chicken mokthuk, chicken butter masala, and chicken curry. My kid loved there chicken and I had it with the sauce. It's delicious. Chicken curry (asked for spicy) was fantastic. I tried chicken mokthuk was awesome! Their dumplings are perfect. read more

We dropped in to try this place and we were surprised how much we enjoyed the food. The young owner greeted us with a smile. We were very happy for him as you can see his excitement about his restaurant and was very proud of what he was doing. He took the time to tell us about his story and how he got started. Spoke about his culture and how his culinary experience and food came about. I kept saying how nice to see him excited about his new restaurant venture. The food, DELICIOUS! They make everything fresh from the naan, the dumplings and their noodles. Worth every second to wait a bit longer for their food prep. Give this place a try, I don't think you will be disappointed. We will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely heavenly. The chicken curry is my comfort food, it is packed with spices, has a thick hearty sauce and just married the perfect rice and plain nan. The family likes the lamb and spicier options. I have only had take out but am excited to try the small plate option in house. At pick up they could not be kinder! My new favorite restaurant! read more

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff and good service. A great addition to our area and we will be back. Very authentic and tasty dishes not usually found in Westchester. We like spicy foods and they add just the right amount of spice if you ask for it. Mixed momo platter was outstanding. We also enjoyed an excellent beef noodle soup. read more

Great addition to the neiighborhood, excellent food and friendly service. We loved the thali set, which lets you try a bit of everything.

This is for takeout only. Prices were a few dollars more than the listed price. Very nice staff. Maybe we ordered the wrong items but the food was just ok. Will try eating in next time and see. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Made fresh when ordered. High quality ingredients. You did not have that heavy stuffed feel even after we polished off everything. There was something that each of the 7 on the table found that they loved. The servers were very attentive and sweet and gracious. The chef came out to talk with us to ensure we enjoyed our meal. You could see the passion in him that we experienced in our fantastic meal. Such a hidden gem. The ambiance too transported you back to the hills of Sikkim. read more

I ordered few dishes last week and it was so pricey and not that great . The chicken lollipop was not good at all.
