    Goat Thali
    Ellie H.

    This wasn't my dish but this meal really was one of the best meals I've had out in New York. I got the fish curry Thali. It was free refills for the lentil and all vegetables. I don't know what they put in their lentil side dish but it brought tears to my eyes. They also played great music that added to the lovely and homely ambience. I would go back for this many times. Highly recommend.

    Tried and trusted thali spot that I've been frequenting since I transplanted to NY. Food is tasty and they have the classic thali assortments. Small, no frills restaurant but the flavors hit the spot. Can't go wrong with a chicken thali and the portion is great- always lasts me two meals. They also accepted Zelle payments the last time I was there.

    One of many Nepalese spots in the neighborhood that many locals frequent! The chicken chilly here is incredibly flavorful and one of my favorites. Beef in the thenthuk is a bit jerky like but the soup itself is warm and hearty. Cannot go wrong with the momos either An authentic spot with comforting and homey food

    One of our favorite spots for lunch in the weekend. We have been frequenting this place for over a year. MoMo, tali, mango lassi and everything else.... Super duper yummy and most importantly the prices are really good with the amount of foods and taste. Can't wait to go there again.

    Best veggie momo in Jackson Heights! It was recommended by an acquaintance and I'm so glad I tried it. I got the veggie momo twice during my trip and it was consistent. I tried steamed as well as jhol and both were good. If you're looking for veggie momo, look no further. I'm definitely coming back. The service was pleasant as well.

    Been coming here for years - thalis are always delicious and their momos always hit the spot. The owners are super nice and even offered us a sample of new desserts from a nearby bakery!

    Thaaaaali! Bro, duh

    Quality of their fish thali has gone down slightly but it's still a legit place to get Nepali food that keeps the simplicity at heart , try it and thank me later. Update, we just found out that Bikram is now gone, which is likely why the quality of the food has gone down. This is always a bummer, but understandable, still a legit Nepali restaurant.

    It's definitely a hole in the wall Nepalese restaurant so if you EVER come around Jackson Heights, don't miss this little gem. Been here twice, and it didn't disappoint. The best part was the free refills of all the side dishes. The owner was very nice and patient with us in explaining what some dishes on the menu were, although limited in english. (Only downside the second time here was the chicken and be here was tough...but that's on us for ordering the pan fried chicken)

    My friend and I came here for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon while in Queens. It was around 3-3:30pm when we came in. I picked this place as my friend had never tried Himalayan or Nepalese cuisine before, and I hadn't eaten this sort of food for a long time. The restaurant is small and no-frills, with some indoor seating available. The staff were happy for us to sit inside, but they also had a small outdoor seating area which we chose to sit at. There seemed to be only one man taking orders. He brought us menus and water right away and then came back soon after to take our food orders. They have a lot of options on the menu, especially vegetarian options. We ordered a plate of steamed vegetable momos to share, as well as a potato dish which I forgot the name of. My friend had the vegetable thali for her main dish, while I had the vegetarian samayabajee. The samayabajee was very interesting. It contained flattened rice, which seemed like uncooked rice had been flattened. It had no flavor and was very crunchy. The entire platter had a lot of crunchy textures, including some sort of pine nuts and chickpeas. I enjoyed it a lot. My friend's vegetable thali tasted more like something you could find in an Indian restaurant, although she said the flavors were very different. Her dish contained some steamed greens, and several different lentil dishes alongside rice. The momos were delicious. I've had momos on several different occasions and they are one of my favorite things to eat when it comes to Himalayan cuisine. The restaurant also had two different sauces placed on the table that we tried them with; one was very spicy, and one was nutty. Both were delicious. We ended up having a lot of food left over, while the price of everything was a bargain. We ended up paying only $30 altogether for everything we ate and had food to take home. I'd definitely come back to this restaurant if I'm craving Himalayan food in the future.

    Kant spoke of the categorical imperative with regard to the philosophy of morals. I speak of the categorical imperative with regard to the food at Lali Guras, i.e. if you are (1) in Jackson Heights and (2) are hungry, then you MUST visit Lali Guras to gorge your wanting stomach with the riches of this restaurant. The staff here are friendly, the ambience is nice, but most importantly the food is delicious and the prices are excellent. We ended up ordering too much food, because the portions were larger than anticipated considering the prices: - Steamed beef momos ($5) were VOLUPTUOUS and TENDER. Extremely satisfying. - Pork thenthuk ($6) was MASSIVE and RICH. Very filling. - Beef choila thali ($9) was SUCCULENT and VARIED, as it included an assortment of little dishes of goodies. At one point I was even offered free refills on a few of the items! Not sure if this is standard, but this has never happened to me at a restaurant and was deeply appreciated. If you like Nepali/Himalayan food and are in Jackson Heights, Lali Guras is the natural choice.

    Raymond and I visited Jackson Heights to check out the Momo crawl, and we instantly decided not to do it. We didn't really want to pay $10 each for a passport and then wander around to different restaurants to wait half an hour and pay $1 for a momo each - so we decided to check out one of the many Tibetan restaurants in the area. I had no idea that there was such an abundance of Tibetan food here, and we stumbled upon Lali Guras. It is totally a hole in the wall restaurant - no frills, just simple, cheap, and authentic food. Okay, I can't say for sure that it's authentic, but all these reviews seem to indicate that it is and the flavors were really different from anything I've had. The servers were speaking in a language that I've never heard, and the food was bold and unapologetic. + Steamed pork momos ($5) - 5/5 - We got 8 large momos for $5! This completely validated our decision to not participate in the momo crawl because we got to enjoy our momos comfortably. Raymond and I have both had momos (him at another Tibetan restaurant, me at the World Fare) but have never liked them all that much. These were great - large soft dumplings with a firm skin that supported tasty, flavorful filling. I would highly recommend these momos. I didn't even need any of the accompanying sauce to enjoy them. + Fish thali ($10) - 5/5 - I'm giving this a 5/5 because I 100% recommend the vegetarian thali LOL. Turns out the fish thali is just the vegetarian thali + a bowl of fish curry. I am generally not a fan of fish curry for textural reasons, so disregard my thoughts on the fish. I think it was well-flavored; I just didn't wanna eat the fish. The daal was wonderfully smoky and flavorful, and we both loved it. The saag was sauteed simply with some light sauce (reminiscent of Chinese flavors, but a little different), and we also loved the way it complemented the daal. The other dish was a bit sour and not to our taste, but those other two were real hits. To our surprise, the server came around giving us refills of the vegetarian stuff! SUCH an amazing deal. I was thrilled. And also totally stuffed. + Beef chilli ($11) - 2/5 - I was really excited for this, especially after it came out because it looked SO GOOD. My mouth watered at the smell and appearance, and then I bit into the beef. Umm, what? It was really tough and I was confused and sad because this had so much potential. Raymond then told me that the yak that he had tried at the other Tibetan restaurant was also similarly tough and stringy, and mentioned that traditional Tibetan food is cooked in at a high altitude, which means it's hard for water to boil. This entree led us down on a rabbit hole in which we read articles and articles on Tibetan food, and we learned a lot culturally. So overall this was a good experience :p + Mango lassi ($2.50) - 5/5 - Very normal mango lassi (aka excellent as always) but for like half the price at most places I go. :D Overall, I would totally recommend Lali Guras as a painless introduction to Tibetan food, but probably avoid the beef chilli.

    Fried Fish Thali
    Goliath I.

    It's small and not the fancy one but the food is delicious and great portions for their price. What's more, you can ask for extra portions of the items in Thali with no additional charge. Staff members are friendly. If you aren't into spicy food it might be a bit too spicy but I love spicy so it's just perfect. I wish the place would be more spacious and clean but overall I'd love to come back again.

Had a smattering of apps along with some soju, and it was a good time. Food was good but it was more the authenticity and casual good vibes that boost the rating up. The banchan was solid, nothing exceptional, and for $4 was a bit steep. The chicken was also similar, good but nothing standout. The spicy rice cakes though were really good. Only complaint is that it was pretty lacking on rice cakes - it was half fish cake (which tbh I prefer but maybe not everyone does). I can tell the food quality is good though, so I'd be eager to try more of their signature dishes, such as the Bulgogi. Definitely worth a shot if you're in Astoria craving Korean food!

Turns out I did not need the additional sides of rice and of Kimchi as far as amount of food goes, however I think I liked the flavor and "kick" of the side of Kimchi over the Kimchi that was in the Ban Chan..... The food was pretty good! As I mentioned it came via door dash and the dasher was on a scooter and it was a few miles away so by the time it got to me it was only warm and not hot but that isn't really something the restaurant can do anything about. However I did ask for utensils to be included and I think that is something the restaurant has control over and I didn't get any utensils so there is that....

We ordered the octopus and lamb chops. The octopus was incredibly tender, the meat was very soft - I personally would've preferred a little more bite to it, but it still tasted good. The lamb chops were flavorful. The medium here is on par with medium rare at most other places, and one of our pieces was borderline rare. At the end of the meal we were also offered complementary desert, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our meal overall, but just know that it's a little on the pricey. The octopus and lamb chops came out to $80~ pre-tax and tip. Would recommend if you're a fan of seafood!
