    Chana Masala, Garlic Naan
    Erin B.

    Delicious ! Lots of options for vegetarian. The momos were great - we did pan fried vegetable & steamed lamb. Chana Masala was yummy. Food came out quick and was filling!

    This was a really satisfying meal to end my day! Inside is small and cozy and the staff was incredibly kind! My friend and I split a pani puri and we each got our own thalis for dinner. I opted for the dry chicken and it came with a generous amount of food: rice, gobi, dal, achar and salad. Everything was so well seasoned, it definitely hit the nutty and herbaceous notes. The chicken was sooooo tender and flavorful. The thali meal does come with refills for the veggies but not the meat. And I was disappointed because I could've gone for another serving of that chicken! For dessert, we opted for my favorite: rasmalai and it did not disappoint. Surprisingly light considering its cheesy origins. But it was also so floral and sweet, a perfect end to our meal!

    Chicken Jhol Momo. $14. Very good momos. Jhol was a bit lacking unfortunately (a bit too light)
    Glenn C.

    Short review/recommendations- Chili momo, steamed momo (just not the Jhol version,) pork keema noodles, mixed thenthuk (for lighter palates,) sukuti. I went with a group to this nice little Nepalese spot a few months ago. The group has had a good track record picking out new Nepalese/Tibetan spots. This is yet another tasty one. That makes sense, as their original location is in Jackson Heights, which has most of the good spots for that cuisine, with some rare exceptions. The staff were friendly. The food was reasonably priced for the portion sizes, especially for Williamsburg. They have a few beers on the menu, but I didn't bother getting anything to drink, and I don't believe anyone else had a beer or something else. The main star is, of course, the momos. The price doesn't change based on filling but rather on how it's prepared. The cheapest is the plain steamed at $12. Fried options are $13. Jhol is $14, and chili is $15. We got three types, one from each main category. In general, I would say they are a little larger than usual, and the filling is quite juicy. The closest comparable momos are from Phayul, among a few other better spots. My favorite was the priciest: the Pork Chili Momo for $15. These were excellent. The juicy, large momos paired nicely with the slightly spicy and slightly sweet chili. They aren't my favorite I've ever had (that would be Kasthamdap), but they were still very tasty and well above average. The Simple Steamed Beef Momos for $12 were also good, with tasty filling and texture. The Chicken Jhol Momos were just alright. While the momos themselves were tasty, I found the jhol a bit too light. I would compare them negatively to my preferred jhol spot, which is Tales From Everest in Curry/Murray Hill. The Pork Keema Noodles for $16 came with chilli sauce, noodle, mincemeat, scallion, and peanut. It was unique. It reminded a few of us of dan dan noodles from Szechuan places, though less fragrant and less spicy. There was plenty of noodles, which were nicely chewy, with some crunch and a bit of richness. The peanuts added crunch. The meat was plentiful. I would recommend these also. If you want a lighter noodle option, the Mixed Thenthuk for $15, listed as a traditional Tibetan hand pull flat noodle cooked with egg, beef & chicken, radish & spinach is recommended. The texture of the noodles had nice bounciness, and the broth was delicately flavored. It in general resembled egg drop soup to an extent, though less gloopy with some meat and lots of strips of egg otherwise. If I lived in the area, I would very likely order this when it gets cold outside. The Pani Puri for $9, listed as hollow crackers stuffed with spiced potatoes and sour water, was good, with this place doing it DIY style like many other places where you pour the water inside. In general, I have preferred this dish from Indian spots as they tend to flavor it better, but these were above average, at least for Himalayan spots. I wish there was a little bit more potato in there, but the water had a good kick of tamarind, and it had a good bit of heat, and there was some crunch otherwise. There was also the Sukuti for $14 listed as a Nepalese dish consisting of dried beef meat. I have had this dish from other spots, and this was a pretty good version. The spice level was a bit lighter than my preferred places, but the texture was nice, being a bit more hydrated/less jerky like, and there was plenty of meat. This was also tasty and I would recommend it. We were also going to get the Bhuttan, a $14 goat offal dish, but it wasn't available, so we went with the Lasuni Gobi for $9 with batter-coated cauliflower fried and tossed in tomato garlic sauce. This was a pretty standard version, at least for the Nepalese variety, which is, in general, a bit less spicy. The garlic and tomato flavor was nice, and the batter was light, which was a plus. For dessert was the Rasmalai for $6, listed as creamy cheese dumplings soaked in sweetened milk. They unexpectedly came topped with some saffron and were a bit above average. The cheese had the expected spongy texture, and the milk was nicely floral. This was tasty, with the only thing missing being some slivered almonds or something similar just to add one last texture. The food overall was good here. It's not the best Nepalese/Tibetan food I've had, but there wasn't any particularly bad dish among the lot, and we definitely ordered a lot of food. I'd probably go back here, and I would recommend this place as a good introduction to food from the region.

    Food 4/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Was craving Nepali cuisine so decided to try gorkhali Enjoyed the appetizers more than the entree and momos here Fried chicken 5/5: these were ammmazinggg ; meat felt apart and it was super juicy Losuni gobi 5/5: these sweet and sour cauliflower were delicious!! Taste like sweet and sour chicken Thol chicken momo 2/5: these were my least favorite but could be that I'm not use to the flavors Pan fried pork momo 3.5/5: these were better than the thol for sure. Your standard momos Chili beef momo 4/5: one of the better momos that they have Chicken curry 2.5/5: not a fan of the curry and it was quite watered down Place is also quite small and only 2 people working so service can get very slow here

    I had been trying to come & try their food for a while. I have always tried to come & support my own people! So this one was on my list to come & have their yummy food . I heard good things about it. Finally on a rainy gloomy day I was able to come. Very cute, cozy & welcoming place. Customer service was great & ok point. I didn't realize they serve pork , it was my bad. So I didn't wanna take chance & end up ordering a vegetarian item. Cauliflower was yummy, tried the gulab jamun. It was good, but didn't appreciate the price for three little gulab jamun! 2$ a piece for this small jamun, I know my desi dessert & the price should be lower. Cauliflower price was high too but I can live with that . Thank you for the hospitality!

    Mango lassi
    Leemor Y.

    Great to have some solid momos in the area! Came on a Saturday night and we sat down right away. The servers were very friendly and took the time to explain each part of the Thali we got. Food: - veg thali (4/5) - this is definitely a good bang for your buck, given that you can ask for refills. My favorite was the pea dish. - veg jhol mojos (4.5/5) - nice deep flavor, the momos were solid. I'd be curious to try the chili ones and the fried ones next time. - mango lassi (5/5) - everything you want mango lassi to be. The vibe was pretty causal and they have a few tables for sit down.

    What a cozy little spot! Small and you can really feel the customer attention here. Loved the cauliflower appetizer and the pork dumplings. Really can't go wrong with anything you have here especially if it's your first time trying this type of food don't be intimidated! THE DUMPLINGS ARE SO GOOD! Thank you for having us!

    Beef Momo (I already ate one dumpling)

    I ordered to go for the samosas and the beef dumplings. The sauces were flavorful and the dumplings were so juicy. Also the person working the counter was very nice.

    Very Satisfying!

    First time eating Nepalese food and it was yummy!!! Kept it simple with the chkn chili, lentil soup and rice. Will def treat myself to this place again! The server was super kind.

    Veg jhol momo
    Alan S.

    I just returned from Sikkim a week ago, and I feel privileged to be able to walk 2 blocks from my apartment, have some of the best momos in the city, and pretend that I'm staring out at a narrow lane in Gangtok. The veg momos here are indeed outstanding. The peanut-y jhol momo soup is super flavorful, and when paired with the chili chutney on the side, is the perfect warming soup on a winter day. There are a few other Nepalese/momo competitors in Brooklyn, but as far as I'm concerned, this is by far the best option anywhere in the North Brooklyn vicinity.

    Beef Chow Mein
    Julia H.

    Bummer to have not had Gorkhali in the neighborhood sooner. This place slapped. Did takeout and it was great so think it'd be even better sitting in. For two we ordered a chow mein, fried rice, and steamed momos. We did medium spice level and it really wasn't spicy at all so would recommend going to the highest level if you like a kick. Momos were incredible, I always prefer steamed and think the pork was a great option since it's one of the more flavorful meat options. Super soft and nicely filled. Loved both the fried rice and noodles as well. Will say its lean on the protein but the flavors are great! For both the chow mein and fried rice the meats were a dried/jerky texture. Not sure if this is common/regional but it was my first time experiencing it. I was a fan!

    This is a cute little me and my friends stumbled by on a Saturday evening at 6ish! We were starving after coming back from playing Holi in the city near by at the BK Backyard bar. We decided to stop here for some momos and rice and noodles. Since we were drenched in dry Holi colors and a bit dirty from it, we asked inside if we can dine here. The man was kind enough to let us sit inside and dine here. We ordered a variety of dishes to Veggie chili momos (my favorite), chicken steam momos, egg fried rice, veggie noodles, some mango lassis and one cup of masala tea because it was crazy windy and cold outside. Overall, the food was good. My top favorite was the veggie chili momos and the egg fried rice. This place is very small but cute from inside! It feels very homely! They have a limited menu but it was all very tasteful and good.

    Chicken Momos

    Small shop but very authentic experience. Please get the chili momos and the sukuti thali. So delicious.

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 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!

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.
