Homey and comforting food that fills you up. A small restaurant with just two tables but people of all walks of life come here for a quick warm meal. Their thali is delicious!
Best Nepali style thali in all of NYC if not the US. A true hole in the wall of hole in the wall. Straight outta N.E.P.A.L. flavors. Food is something heavenly. I'm almost a regular here just having a meal 2-3 days per week. Crazy thing is I was getting a bit underweight recently and once I started going here now I'm overweight. Talk about gaining 15lbs haha. Thing stands, best Nepali style thali and great service. Love the lady who works here.
Yes the food is delicious. To the owners, I'd highly suggest replacing your current table and chair for tall and small square two seater tables and stools for better accommodation. You can always push tables together for a large group. :)
Ok so do NOT sleep on this place ! It's quite possibly the hole in the wall of hole in the walls. It is a traditional restaurant serving Nepalese cuisines and an Aunty flips up rotis and parathas for sale. There's a chance you will share a table with others as there are only 2 tables, talk about hard to get a reservation at. But let's talk about the food- it's home made and quite simply put, perfection. The owner cooks up the food and he does a great job. Call ahead if you want to know the daily menu. Opt for the thali of choice and thank me later. However, do not sleep on the johl. Like I said, it's the ultimate hole in the wall. If you want to try cuisine from Nepal, start here and move onward through Roosevelt avenue. But trust me, this will likely be your go to in no time.
This is a great place to get Nepali food. All of the options taste fresh and home-cooked. I had the vegetarian thali. Some of the Nepali items like thukpa were not available when I went, so I'll have to come back to try the other dishes!
So delicious! I walked in and asked what meat thai's they had, and I ordered the goat thali. It came quickly and the flavors were WOW. I've tried many Thai's in the neighborhood, and this is the best one I've had. I'm excited to go back again.
Convenient place to get a quick Nepali thali, delicious sel roti or pick up home-made fresh parathas. You literally see the little ladies make them in the back to be packaged and sold. I always stop by for a quick bite of sel roti, aloo dum and sukuti.
OMG I love Queens so much. And this place is as Queens as it gets. Almost a literal hole in the wall. Step through the door and you're basically in the laps of the MoMo making ladies. Just brilliant. Dirt cheap, absolutely delicious, and totally legit.
5/5 because Its my personal favorite place to eat thali in the area This place does nothing but serve good food It's not cool It's not insta worthy Not a place for a date Not a place to hang out Just good food The space has no design to it, it's basically a kitchen with three tables you can eat on The menu is pretty big considering the space but most of the items use the same base ingredients so it's not hard to follow The food arrived really quickly - not much cooking involved really The place isn't spotless clean - not organized in the normal sense either but I feel comfortable here The quality that you get is way above average for the price you'll pay, a solid place for a thali with friends or alone It's somewhere I'd go often to but is a bit far so I'm not a regular the food is spiced without being spicy, very flavorful and they are super generous with the rice and soup It's not fancy and doesn't try to be The food just works, like the fluorescent tube lights on the ceiling, it's not pretty but does a great job
As a Nepali, this place absolutely reminds me of a great dinner at my Grandparents house :). I always get thali which is a combination platter. EVERYTHING is Delicious. Tashi and another person are very friendly and offer us tea, so typical Nepali hospitality. The variations of acchar ("pickles") for lack of better comparison, is delicious. If any non-Nepali people want to be adventurous then I suggest you try bitter groud achar (Karela ko achar) which is also a part of combination platter. It is one thing I love here. Also gundruk ko achar (fermented and dried Nepali spinach pickle). Yum! I never miss this place when I am in the area. O also try sel roti! Rice fried bread! So delicious! I was so excited that I forgot to take before pic. But here is after :)
