    Veggie momo
    Polly H.

    The steamed chicken momos are really good. Super fresh! I'm loving their thin momo skin outside. As are the veggie ones. Satisfyingly delicious. I like their hot milk tea as well. The aroma of the cardamom and the cloves is so sweet and calming. They have thali, sel roti, stir fried noodles, and other fried appetizers. I definitely like this place. The service is really good and they accept credit card.

    Chili Veggie Momo
    Pratima M.

    This is a solid pit stop on any Jackson Heights food crawl -- the restaurant itself is pretty small and unassuming, but the momos here are DELICIOUS. The staff was really friendly and they have plenty of vegetarian options. My favorite dish was the Chili Veggie Momos, a fried dumpling with chili sauce -- super flavorful and so many sauce options to dress them up to your liking! The steamed dumplings in the Soup Momos were also delicious. You can't go wrong here!

    Not sure what the hype is for the momo, it's a dense meat dumpling with a heavy cumin spice flavor.

    It's so so so good - hidden gem. We got the thali and soup dumplings. Excellent service and a lot of vegetarian options.

    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.

The place isn't huge but it is a good size and was able to accommodate us. There were many appetizers on the table that were very delish. A hit for me were the seasoned potatoes, Aloo Dum (dry). I ordered the Shogo Ngopa and decided to go with tingmo instead of the white rice. Trying something new! Also ordered a mango lassie. Food came out fresh, warm and delicious. 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 really enjoyed my dinner here with a friend…read more We shared the duck choila, the vegetarian momo, and the chicken and cheese roti. The duck appetizer was very flavorful and the duck was pleasantly chewy. The vegetarian jhol momo had a simple, vegetable filling with a pleasant texture with a perfectly chewy wrapper. However, the real star was the broth they are served in. The flavor was bright and intense. Our entree, the roti, really tasted like a delicious chicken quesadilla. It had a slightly crispy exterior and just enough filling and was pleasantly rich and greasy. It paired well with the black bean curry and the additions of slaw and tangy achar perfectly cut the richness. This place serves authentic Nepalese flavors but with a more approachable menu studded with items more familiar for a less adventurous eater- the type of place you can take your parents to.

    This Himalayan restaurant is on Queens Blvd near Sunny side, I pass it on my drive home so back…read morein August there was a parking spot out front so I parked and went in! This was early afternoon so it was pretty empty the owner was very nice he suggested Kothey Momo Goat which was tender and very well seasoned, then we had Butter Chicken Marsala also delicious ! We got a Curry Lamb. & Samosa's too for a friend to try and Of course we ordered garlic naan ! The mango lassie is perfection ! So if you're in the area drop in Manoji May be there with kind attentive service !

Instead of being smoky or well-seasoned like a proper choila should be, it felt like an oil-heavy plate with minimal balance. It ended up being more greasy than flavorful. For the price, the portion and quality don't justify the cost. I expected bold, fresh spices and char-grilled flavor, but what I got was flat and oily. I actually enjoyed my homemade meal more than this takeout. A renowned establishment like Bajeko Sekuwa should honestly do better. The reputation sets a high expectation, and this dish didn't come close to meeting it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't order this again.

    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.
