    We visited here for the first time for the 13th Momo crawl in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. They were not a participant last year and they are one of the furthest locations from the cluster of participating restaurants. That means shorter lines! The pork momo, which almost no other place offers, was good, however we prefer the tradional and without chives. The inside is cozy and looks like a great spot to get Neplaese food.

    Timur House is rebranded now as the Himalayan Cafe - The Himalayan Cafe recently went through a lengthy renovation, and is now a serviceable and cozy breakfast cafe soon to extend hours early in the AM with brunch items as well as typical Nepalase dishes. Their made to order masala chai is excellent with delicious notes of cardamom. The jhol momo is very rich, highly recommended. The jhol itself is a bit different than other Nepalase places, a bit more rich / turmeric buttery and bitter.

    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!

    Best Indian food I've had in a long time and I go to London and Hyderabad frequently…read more The samosa was literally the best samosa I've had in my life. The chicken tikka masala was very good and the lamb vindaloo was fire. Spicy as heck but not insanely so. The naan was a bit thick. We ordered way too much rice because the DoorDash menu didn't make it clear that our mains came with rice.

    Sunday evening 8/23/2026 Place was pretty empty except for 2…read moreother tables...but, the place filled up quock and the table turnover was amazing. There was a lot of take out and delivery orders but, that kitchen kept up with everything. Friend ordered a lime iced tea which they made and sweeten perfectly. We started with the chicken samosa and steamed lamb momos. The samosas are huge, tasty, and filled to the capacity of shell. The lamb momos were delicious alone but use the spicy dip it comes with and the dish is a flavor bomb. Entrees were Tandoori chicken which comes with a huge bowl of rice. The chicken was fine by itself but put the yogurt sauce on it and it is like a totally different dish. So tasty and delicious. Lamb biryani...Plenty of lamb throughout this dish the spices and flavors blended well and were spot on with just that hint of heat to break a sweat. Garlic Naan... when you first bite into it you get a hint of garlic then you get a nice pop of garlic. They start you with a courtesy flat thin bread with 2 dips...very nice. Staff is very friendly courteous and attentive. We never felt rushed or in the way. Very cool spot to chat chew and catch up.

    Every bit was outstanding The moment we walked in the server…read moregreeted us with a warm smile. She explained everything well Our drinks- walnut bourbon, aerated chaash & dhamaka drink were excellent. But belle of the ball was malaai lassi !! Oye-hoye we had childhood memories come alive. We actually consumed 4 glasses of it!!!! Appetizers- ajwaini shrimp . Perfection esp the masala Chicken tangri- perfection. So juicy Paplet fish- perfect combo of crisp and tender Entrees- Chicken Hari mirch was awesome Dhungar gosht succulent and delicious Daal was amazing But the parathas were OMG greatest , we've never eaten that crispy parathas before . We're DEFINITELY coming back!! Just one suggestion- keep bathroom clean please. They stink , are dirty and everytime someone opens the door......yeah!

We left a nice tip, as the gratuity isn't auto added. This place as classy as heck. Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly wait staff who are eager to see you have a good time, and a good meal. Spices were balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and vibrant. Herbs were bright beautiful green and fragrant. Bread was chewy and soft. If you see it, try the bottle of Montepulciano. It's a hidden gem. Garnet colour with fresh fruitiness, and subtle tannins. Also. None of the dishes were greasy. If you've ever had Indian food at a bad place, there's always a pool of oil floating on top. None of that happened here. You could taste every ingredient. Your water glass is empty? No worries. One of the wait staff was right there to fill my glass when it was less than half full. Wine glass running low? No worries. One of the wait staff swing by and refill you. Need the cheque? Make eye contact with anyone, and request it. It zooms over to your table. Music is soft and lets you hear your dining companion but not the next door table. Vegan dishes are clearly marked. The only issue I have is that the entrees don't come with rice or roti. You have to buy those separately. Idk what you're meant to eat your daal with, but be prepared to spend extra on rice. Other issue is that the heat level is very low. My companion got a meat dish, and I got a vegan dish. Both were extremely mild. Also, they don't bring onion and green chili to go with the food. It was weird to order like a Punjabi chhole dish, and have it be mild and have none of the onion/green chili that you see at Punjabi restaurants. That said, would 100% come back.

This was an unexpected stop for us after a very long day and I looked bedraggled, but they were incredibly attentive and polite! The food was fantastic!!!

I highly recommend this place!
