    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!

    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.

    Food was excellent! Just like my trip to India. They have the right food in the menus and all the…read morethings we ordered had a little taste of slickness in it. Service was very good as well. And the ambiance is at the corner area of Essex Street Market tucked away with its own convenient toilet. The crab with garlic was served with Indian rice. The Tika was perfectly done and their Indian bread which very thin went with it and the eggplant dishes that they cooked Jndian style - must also order. We had the goat dish which was also delicious. They gave us green chutney and fresh sliced red onion as well So overall it was a positive experience.

It blew my mind! The cheesy garlic naan paired with the paneer in the tikka masala sauce was just perfect! Cheese inside the naan, cheese (paneer) outside the naan. The tikka masala tied it all together so well!

Went there early on a weekday and we were the only ones there so grabbed a table. Just fyi, it is a place that is better suited for pick up. Very small and basic. We ordered one each of the three veggie options they had in a roti taco - palak paneer, paneer tikka and Chickpea (chole). The paneer tikka roti taco was totally lacking in flavor while the chickpea and the palak paneer were better. They have it at a mild spice level to cater to everyone, but I would have appreciated the ability to adjust the spice level. The guy at the counter told me I would need to buy a sauce on the side if I wanted it with a more kick. I didn't do that to see how it tastes out of the box. Also, the taco is just the gravy and paneer on top of the roti base with some arugula leaves and a tasteless slaw. If you're putting something on a bite sized food item, it better be flavorful, or atleast seasoned. The leaves and slaw were a big let down. I could think of a few ways to elevate this good concept they have. For now, it is just not for me. We left to have actual lunch elsewhere.
