    Nepali chai
    Joseph T.

    I'd rate Timur House four and a half stars. It's a Nepali restaurant named after the cuisine's namesake pepper. The timur pepper was utilized in their chutney which accompanied some of the apps and momos. It was also used in their jhol (soup). The pepper gives an orange color. The staff likened it to a Sichuan pepper but I found it more similar to a mild cayenne pepper. I didn't taste much spiciness while I ate the dish. There was a mild spicy mouthfeel after the meal and a very minor nasal affect which was cleaned up with a quick wipe (didn't even need to blow). Now that we understand Timur, let's delve into the meal. I started with a cup of Nepali chai. I believe it was made with a little ghee and their blend of Nepali spices. As good as any masala chai or chai latte that I've had though I'm not aficionado on chais. For appetizer, I had the fried whiting with the Timur chutney. Came with two whole whitings with a thin and crispy batter. It's a small fish, so you can eat it while with the bones. Basically, an adult fish "tender." It was fun and easy to eat. Fish was still moist but the highlight was the ultra savory chutney. I wasn't able to identify what was going on in terms of spices and seasoning, but sautéed onions, peppers, and garlic were certainly the prevalent. For the main course, I opted for the vegetable momos. You can have them steamed, fried, or in their jhol (soup). The waitress recommended the latter, so I chose that. The jhol was similar to the chutney in flavor profile, but a bit thinner in that broth or water was added to liquify it. The soup was geniously served cold allowing the heat from the momo to transfer to the soup. This effectively allowed me to guzzle down the hot momos at a rate that I've never achieved before. I was the only one there, but service was attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was casual. Pacing of the food was on point. Only one restroom that I noticed; it was spacious and gender neutral. Edit: I bought an order of chicken momos to go for my wife. She did not finish them, so I had a few. They came with the timur based sauce. I could definitely taste the resemblance of the timur pepper to the Sichuan pepper in the cold sauce. Not sure if this was because I had it cold or if the sauce had a higher concentration of the pepper. Nevertheless, the momo sauce was superb!

    Tasty food, good spice levels, and a simple, no-frills setup with basic but clean ambience. Service…read morewas quick and came with a smile, which always makes a difference. 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.

    With the number of Indian restaurants on Lexington around 27th Street, it's not likely we'll return…read moreto "Taste From Everest." Our server was so pleasant and efficient -- he appeared to be the only person working the dining room -- I hate to write anything less than positive. But I really didn't enjoy my meal. My daughter, who's eaten at various restaurants on the strip, was also underwhelmed. We started off with steamed chicken momo (dumplings.) Served with two spicy dipping sauces, we were off to a good start. But then ... -- Chicken tikka, my frequent choice, was over-cooked, under-spiced and dry. When prepared properly the chicken is succulent and flavorful. I appreciated the vegetables from my platter which I mixed with rice, but other than that, a big NO. -- S ordered chicken thali: lentils, rice, mustard spinach, potatoes, salad, achar (a condiment of fermented fruits and vegetables), papadum and kheer (rice pudding.) We both have had better. Unlike family-run Indian restaurants I frequented on E. 6th Street -- none of which remain -- midtown restaurants are a bit more formal often requiring reservations. With no availability at a neighboring restaurant, Taste from Everest could accommodate us when we popped in. By the time we left, every table was occupied with people whose opinions, based on Yelp reviews, likely differ from mine.

    In short, amazing…read more Service was great, friendly, and very cognizant of allergies. - Ghee Whiz - smoked cocktail, really good, flavorful, smooth, unique - Paneer - on the one hand, $20+ for two pieces of paneer seems crazy but on the other hand that paneer was so melt-in-your-mouth texture maybe it's worth getting again, but probably not - Beef pepper fry - amazing, my favorite dish we got. Definitely a bit on the spicier side but incredible flavor, beef all cooked well, great presentation on the skillet, so worth it. - Makai Lamb - the lamb itself was incredible; imagine a giant lamb bone with meat falling off into a thin soup-like sauce. The sauce was delicate in flavor, allowing the lamb to really shine and it was delicious. So filling too, a ton of food. Only weird thing, the two chunks of corn cobs felt out of place. Will definitely return, delicious and best done with more people to try more dishes.

They've passed that torch to their sister restaurant, Adda. Not only has their menu changed, but so has the staff. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, but in this case, it was. We were recently served by someone who admitted himself that he's only been there for a week. No big deal. Except our first dish took 30 minutes to arrive. Meanwhile the folks to the left and right of us kept getting their food and they ordered after us. When we were done with our first and only dish, I asked our waiter where the rest of the food was, only to find out he didn't fire any of it because he was waiting for us to completely finish. The service was not good. And the food is not nearly as fun and delicious as it used to be. I don't know if I'll be coming back to Dhamaka anymore.
