    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.

    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.

    I've had Nepalese food in Jackson Heights. But I've heard many good things about this spot, so I…read moredecided to drive over to Ridgewood just to try this spot with a friend. 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.

    Delicious Tibetan food on the corner of Broadway and Woodside…read more I've tried their almost everything on the menu and it's all great. My favorites are the liang fen, sukuti (dried beef chili salad), Dan Dan noodle, and fried momo. It's always a treat to stop by. It's a small unassuming space with a great menu. While I say Tibetan food, they have Tibetan/ Nepali/ Chinese food due to the proximity of those countries and the neighborhood, I assume. They do it in the best way possible. Service was quick even though there was only one server when I was there. It is a small restaurant, there are 6 tables that seat 4 people each. Will be back because of the efficient service and delicious food.

    I'll start by prefacing that I'm not super familiar with Tibetan food but I always love trying…read moresomething new. The interior is pretty small with just one waiter, but most of the food comes out pretty quick. Our momos however came out 20 minutes after all our other dishes came out. Special liang fen w/ Wai Wai: I've never heard of Wai Wai noodles before and thought they'd be cooked noodles, but they're actually uncooked crumbled up instant ramen noodles. They were wrapped up in a noodle-like pancake which had a pretty nice chew to it. It was a little too spicy for my palate though. Tibetan sausage: It looked like a blood sausage, but tasted a little more bland. The texture was a bit more crumbly than a normal Chinese sausage. Stir fried tongue: Our favorite dish of the night! The sliced beef tongue was so flavorful and melted in your mouth. I would come back just to get this dish again. Beef momo: I appreciated how the skin was not overly thick like other momos that I've had. The meat itself wasn't overly flavorful, but the chili sauce that they gave was a really nice addition to the momos. Overall, I would come back here just for the stir fried tongue. The price was also really cheap (most items being around $10) with big portion sizes. We were extremely full and could barely finish all 4 dishes between 2 people.
