This was some of the best food I've eaten in NYC and I've been to many spots. The momos were flavored well, I will eat them next time in the restaurant for ultimate freshness. The paneer tikka masala was made to perfection. The taste was amazing and I haven't had anything that compares to this! Will try to come to this place again before I leave! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

The empty plates and bowls speak for themselves. Food was very good. We had the chicken keema noodles, paneer tikka masala, fried pork momo, and garlic naan. Everything was very good and was fresh! This food is a bit similar to Indian in some aspects and Chinese. Service was friendly and we definitely would come back.

First time trying Nepali cuisine in Brooklyn and they delivered! I recommend folks to come here to experience flavours that will take you toward an adventure. The beef momo was filling, nicely chewy dumplings, and the soup of the momo was this refreshing, light, slurp-able curry. I really like the Thali special. It's a balanced plate with rice, cauliflower, chicken, and soup. (Tbh: I don't like cauliflower. But, their cauliflower dish was so delicious, I polished them off in no time).

Look man, I really wanted to gate-keep this one, but seriously people need to know about this spot. Not only some of the best Nepalese food I’ve ever had but in the ranks of top meals for me. Can’t say much more than every dish we ordered here slapped. The MoMo’s were so good the broth was incredible and the order delivers like 8 dumplings. I can’t remember the name of this noodle dish but it was also amazing. I finished everything we ordered at this spot because I couldn’t stop myself. Well done Gorkhali!

The food was amazing and delicious. Reminded me of Nepal when I visited there. The taste of the food was authentic. The staff was welcoming, felt like I was at home and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends or to anyone.

Highly recommend this restaurant. We went for dinner on a Saturday and were so impressed. Our waiter helped us by making some recommendations on what to order which was very appreciated. We got the boneless chicken thali, goat curry, pork thukpa, and samosa. The veg curry and dal that came with the thali were outstanding, as were the samosas and goat curry. The soup was also good - my favorite part was the noodles which were thick and perfectly chewy. We also got a mango lassi which was great. Also, the thali comes with refills which we definitely took advantage of. The staff here is so kind and friendly. The food is amazing. And the prices are pretty insanely reasonable - our meal (which made us extremely full - even with taking home half of the soup) with a giant beer came to $73 + tip. Definitely check this place out!

The food does not miss! This was my first time having Nepalese food in New York and was very pleased with the mix of flavors and service. I came for dinner on a Friday evening. A few great things about this place (1) the place is byob which can be great with friends or date night (2) very reasonably priced food for dinner (3) flavor profile is 👌🏾. Good options for meat and vegetarians

So happy that this restaurant is in the neighborhood. The staff is kind and passionate about their delicious food. Their momos are superior and the chili chicken has a delicious tasty hot spicy flavor.

It's not every day you come to Brooklyn and eat Nepalese food. It’s a cute little spot with amazing food choices. We had beef chowmein, goat curry, tingmo (Nepalese bun), chicken chilly, and my personal favorite Jhol momo. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. If you happen to stop by this neighborhood, do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant!

Very cozy place with amazing food. The lasuni gobi was a 10/10, rice perfectly cooked, and the garlic naan was outstanding. Butter chicken and chicken korma were full of flavor. If you don’t like ginger, skip the jhol Himalayan dumplings. Overall, great experience and unbeatable prices.

This was our first time time trying Nepalese food. It was SO yummy. Everything we ordered was simply delicious. The flavors were so comforting and warming. Thank you!

6/5 stars, butter chicken best I ever had, garlic naan like HEAVEN. Ate inside and service was 10/10 will be there as much as humanly possible. Almost attempted to not write this review as to gatekeep but also if you are still reading this JUST GO, just order it, TRUST.

Astonishingly quick service and very attentive and welcoming staff. We’re able to accommodate my extremely unreasonable ask to have a biryani done in 10 minutes 🤯 the quality of the food is also top notch. Highly recommend

I arrived during the slower afternoon period. Their dishes impressed me more than I anticipated. Gorkhali - Brooklyn created moments that felt like culinary sorcery! Employees provided steady, superior attention. The quality corresponds to the price.

Short review/recommendations- Chili momo, steamed momo (just not the Jhol version,) pork keema noodles, mixed thenthuk (for lighter palates,) sukuti. I went with a group to this nice little Nepalese spot a few months ago, whose original location is in Jackson Heights. The staff were very friendly. The food was reasonably priced for the portion sizes, especially for Williamsburg. The main star is, of course, the momos. The price doesn't change based on filling but rather on how it's prepared. The cheapest is the plain steamed at $12. Fried options are $13. Jhol is $14, and chili is $15. We got three types, one from each main category. In general, I would say they are a little larger than usual, and the filling is quite juicy. My favorite was the priciest: the Pork Chili Momo for $15. These were excellent. The juicy, large momos paired nicely with the slightly spicy and slightly sweet chili. They aren't my favorite I've ever had (that would be Kasthamdap), but they were still very tasty and well above average. The Simple Steamed Beef Momos for $12 were also good, with tasty filling and texture. The Chicken Jhol Momos were just alright. While the momos themselves were tasty, I found the jhol a bit too light. I would compare them negatively to my preferred jhol spot, which is Tales From Everest in Curry/Murray Hill. The Pork Keema Noodles for $16 came with chilli sauce, noodle, mincemeat, scallion, and peanut. It was unique. It reminded a few of us of dan dan noodles from Szechuan places, though less fragrant and less spicy. There was plenty of noodles, which were nicely chewy, with some crunch and a bit of richness. The peanuts added crunch. The meat was plentiful. I would recommend these also. If you want a lighter noodle option, the Mixed Thenthuk for $15, listed as a traditional Tibetan hand pull flat noodle cooked with egg, beef & chicken, radish & spinach is recommended. The texture of the noodles had nice bounciness, and the broth was delicately flavored. It in general resembled egg drop soup to an extent, though less gloopy with some meat and lots of strips of egg otherwise. If I lived in the area, I would very likely order this when it gets cold outside. The Pani Puri for $9, listed as hollow crackers stuffed with spiced potatoes and sour water, was good, with this place doing it DIY style like many other places where you pour the water inside. In general, I have preferred this dish from Indian spots as they tend to flavor it better, but these were above average, at least for Himalayan spots. I wish there was a little bit more potato in there, but the water had a good kick of tamarind, and it had a good bit of heat, and there was some crunch otherwise. There was also the Sukuti for $14 listed as a Nepalese dish consisting of dried beef meat. I have had this dish from other spots, and this was a pretty good version. The spice level was a bit lighter than my preferred places, but the texture was nice, being a bit more hydrated/less jerky like, and there was plenty of meat. This was also tasty and I would recommend it. We were also going to get the Bhuttan, a $14 goat offal dish, but it wasn't available, so we went with the Lasuni Gobi for $9 with batter-coated cauliflower fried and tossed in tomato garlic sauce. This was a pretty standard version, at least for the Nepalese variety, which is, in general, a bit less spicy. The garlic and tomato flavor was nice, and the batter was light, which was a plus. For dessert was the Rasmalai for $6, listed as creamy cheese dumplings soaked in sweetened milk. They unexpectedly came topped with some saffron and were a bit above average. The cheese had the expected spongy texture, and the milk was nicely floral. This was tasty, with the only thing missing being some slivered almonds or something similar just to add one last texture. The food overall was good here. It's not the best Nepalese/Tibetan food I've had, but there wasn't any particularly bad dish among the lot, and we definitely ordered a lot of food.

I ordered dinner from this Nepalese restaurant through Uber Eats, and overall the experience was great. The food arrived hot and well-packaged. The highlight was definitely the steamed chicken momos—juicy, generously filled, and larger than usual. They came with two sauces: a fiery chili paste and a milder dip, both complementing the dumplings perfectly. As expected from a Nepalese spot, the momos did not disappoint. I also tried the mixed chow mein, which had a street-style, Hakka noodle vibe. The portion was generous—I stretched it across two to three meals. It included eggs, chicken, and beef slices. While the beef had a slight smell that put me off a bit, the overall flavor was satisfying and reminded me of the street food back in India. All in all, a good dinner, and I’d recommend this place—especially for the momos

Food 4/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Was craving Nepali cuisine so decided to try gorkhali Enjoyed the appetizers more than the entree and momos here Fried chicken 5/5: these were ammmazinggg ; meat felt apart and it was super juicy Losuni gobi 5/5: these sweet and sour cauliflower were delicious!! Taste like sweet and sour chicken Thol chicken momo 2/5: these were my least favorite but could be that I'm not use to the flavors Pan fried pork momo 3.5/5: these were better than the thol for sure. Your standard momos Chili beef momo 4/5: one of the better momos that they have Chicken curry 2.5/5: not a fan of the curry and it was quite watered down Place is also quite small and only 2 people working so service can get very slow here

I had been trying to come & try their food for a while. I have always tried to come & support my own people! So this one was on my list to come & have their yummy food . I heard good things about it. Finally on a rainy gloomy day I was able to come. Very cute, cozy & welcoming place. Customer service was great & ok point. I didn't realize they serve pork , it was my bad. So I didn't wanna take chance & end up ordering a vegetarian item. Cauliflower was yummy, tried the gulab jamun. It was good, but didn't appreciate the price for three little gulab jamun! 2$ a piece for this small jamun, I know my desi dessert & the price should be lower. Cauliflower price was high too but I can live with that . Thank you for the hospitality!

Great to have some solid momos in the area! Came on a Saturday night and we sat down right away. The servers were very friendly and took the time to explain each part of the Thali we got. Food: - veg thali (4/5) - this is definitely a good bang for your buck, given that you can ask for refills. My favorite was the pea dish. - veg jhol mojos (4.5/5) - nice deep flavor, the momos were solid. I’d be curious to try the chili ones and the fried ones next time. - mango lassi (5/5) - everything you want mango lassi to be. The vibe was pretty causal and they have a few tables for sit down

I got the veg chow mein and the veg jhol momos. I was informed by the server that the vegetarian items are also vegan, which I was happy to hear. Both the dishes were great and I would love to try more dishes.

I got the Thali for lunch. It’s a combination plate with several curries, rice and other small sides. It was okay. The shop does have a nice vibe.

I made a reservation for 8pm, showed up on time, and not a single table was available. Had to wait 30 minutes before I was seated then another hour before we got the food we had ordered. Food is cold despite taking an hour to bring it out. Will not return here as they don’t honor reservations. What’s the point of making a reservation if they will not accommodate?
