I came here two days in a row for the momo’s. The lamb platter was also great. I couldn’t recommend this place more. Another plus: the employees are all so lovely. 11/10 for sure !!!

The food was amazing and our server was awesome too recommended very good dishes!

Really good food in the middle of Ridgewood. The atmosphere is cute and warm, service was A+ and they even had live music when we came it. I wish they excepted credit card, this would make life easier but other than that, nothing to complain about.

Fantastic experience! The chicken momos were absolutely delicious – perfectly steamed and packed with flavor. The mango lassi was the perfect refreshing complement. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit even more enjoyable.

delicious food at a great price, with super friendly service. will definitely be back soon!

Fairly priced and good portion sizes. The green Chile pepper and veg jhol momo were great. Cheese Naan was amazing Spicy sauce was amazing even if I regretted it after. Cash only

Amazing spot in Ridgewood! Kyle my waiter was such a friend, he heard me blowing my nose and brought me lemon honey tea in the house! The food was amazing, best garlic naan I’ve ever had!

This place is REALLY good. My top brunch choice in the neighborhood. It’s really hard to find healthy food in Ridgewood, so it’s been refreshing having this as an option. The food is always high quality and tastes delicious. The outdoor seating is also really nice on warm days. The only thing to keep in mind is the wait is a little long. So come hungry but not TOO hungry.

Cannot say enough amazing things about this restaurant! The service is kind, warm, and welcoming. The inside is clean and warm! The food is absolutely delectable with the perfect amount of spice!

Delicious food! The dumplings were amazing and so soft. The sauce was delicious too. The chicken wings were okay but for the price was a bit much since it was 8 for 4 wings. The “not a taco” was okay too. The cheese naan was a highlight. Wow it was tasty and super filling. The pork chops were great too. Overall super happy and can’t wait to get this again.

Have been here twice and both times everything we ordered was on point. The dishes are spicy so be prepared. My fav is the plantain momo’s and masala wings. The menu is well thought out. Nothing was too salty. The chicken and pork momo’s disappeared in less than 2 min! Can’t wait to visit again!

This was probably my third time here. THIS time I took pictures. The food is unmatched but come with cash (it's a whole thing). You better come hungry cause otherwise you will be taking food home. The portions are more than reasonable and the food so flavorful again unmatched in it's area. THIS is the spot for nepalese food in Ridgewood.

Truly an incredible meal, friendly and attentive staff, a wonderful meal and not too pricey! Loved the masala and the “not a taco”

We had jhol momo and Maleku ko macha (deep fried whole whiting). If you are feeling adventurous, ask for the extremely hot sauce! Momo was great! The taste was exactly what I grew up eating in Kathmandu. Would have ordered more items but we needed to keep our appetite for our food tour! Service was quick, super friendly and sweet staff.

Wonderful, cozy place with even better food! The meals are handcrafted and made-to-order, so it takes a bit of time to get the food, but it’s definitely worth it! We ordered vegetable momo (great broth!), chicken plate, and vegetarian kodo ko roti. Will definitely come back whenever I’m in town :)

I didn't know that Nepalese food was delicious until I ate here today! I had a very filling and healthy meal. I also had to sit through terrible music on a neverending loop of 6 or 7 pop covers as bland light rock remakes 😵‍💫 I'd 💖 if they changed the music to anything else! Pick something with as much flavor as the food! I didn't really know what I was ordering but everything that I got, I liked, was seasoned well, and cooked perfectly. Definitely come here and try a few dishes but bring some headphones! 😉

Went there for my birthday dinner last night we had a great time. Everyone enjoyed the food and ambience . Lovely decor. Service was top notch. They have outdoor seatings as well.

Tremendous place, unique food and very reasonably priced. Would definitely come again.

best restaurant for me today , Pork jhol momo was so jucy and achar was also good , they gave me achar on my request thanks you🥰I wanted to rate in uber but there is no option showing for rating so I came here because it was so sweet of you.

Found a authentic nepalese restaurant in New York like a oasis in the desert , was craving for authentic chitwan ko taas and as a chitwanee I can say they serve the best taas in the entire town . Everything thing is finger licking tasty ❤️

Amazing service. Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn’t decide what I wanted and he explained everything so nicely. I got the ‘Not a Taco’ & veggie momos. Both were delicious. Oh also the hot Chiya tea is a must in winter. Can’t wait to come back

We love While in Kathmandu! We got the lunch plate and it was delicious and they gave us a complimentary drink. I hear they are going to start having live music in the backyard soon too. Neighborhood gem!

This was my first time at a nepalese restaurant in nyc! The food was amazing and I was very impressed with the cocktails that our server recommended. The atmosphere was great.

Food was amazing !! Chicken was cooked perfectly. Hummus amazing as well. Will come back for sure. Cute spot for a date. Thank you Kyle for the great service

Prompt and friendly service. The food was great and generous portions for the price. The only downside is that this place is cash only (but there are signs indicating that as well as an ATM for those who don't come prepared, like me).

While in Kathmandu in Ridgewood is a hidden gem! A good place to show off to your friends. The authentic flavors of Nepalese cuisine and warm ambiance make it a must-visit. The service is good, and the menu offers a wide variety of options. Everything is flavorful and the variety of taste are different, but complement each other. Highly recommended for a unique dining experience. I went three times this week.

Probably the best restaurant in Ridgewood. I have never had Nepalese like this. The flavors and dishes are so unique and well done, I can’t even describe them to do them justice. Definitely check it out for yourself. Try the chicken khaja platter, salmon sizzler, and the plantain momos.

I love coming here! I had never tried Nepalese food before trying While in Kathmandu, but everything I’ve had on the menu is delicious. My favorites are the cheese naan, pork momo, chicken khaja platter, and aaloo gobi paratha. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Be sure to bring cash as they do not accept cards, but they do have an ATM. One of my favorite places to eat in the neighborhood!

Here is my experience.. we pulled up and the exterior made me want to rethink my choice to eat there… but I went in anyway. Inside very welcoming and lovely bar seats. Owner was so nice. We ordered a bunch of different items. Each had wonderfully different taste profiles. I am so glad I decided to venture inside. Saucy wings were delicious, pepper poppers melt in your mouth taste, chicken chow main was our favorite. The tea is soothing after a filling meal.

Being hangry has nothing to do with how the food tasted. Taco was succulent, juicy and light. But the chicken MOMO is something else. Filling was generous, superbly seasoned and the curry broth is slurp-worthy I can drink it from a jar #wish. Bring cash with you, though it’s worth it. Do trust. The place is cozy, music soothing, host terribly nice and friendly. A must everytime I’m back in the neighborhood.

A hidden gem!!! It is criminal that this place isn’t more popular. Everything was exceptional, from the succulent vegetable momos with a creamy tomato-based sauce to the cheese naans oozing with cheesy goodness to the firm, yet juicy grilled lamb. The service was also great. The waiters took the time to explain each dish and even asked for feedback to improve, which I’ve never been asked before. I’ve also never had Nepalese food before this, but I will definitely be coming back for more! You should know this place is CASH ONLY so make sure to bring enough if you’re going. There is an ATM though with a reasonable $1 fee.

Nice friendly staff. Was craving momos and the pork ones were really good. Chicken too. The masala fries were shockingly flavorful in a good way

+1

Wow, what warmth... From the amazing humans who work here, the environment you're in and most importantly, the food being served. Highly recommend a trip to Kathmandu, or the Ridgewood homage to the culture. Get the Chatpat if you like flavorful spicy food!

As I’m on my way to make my third order this week, I must say the food is so flavorful. The jhol momo was something familiar and new to me. I put some to go over rice the next day. Which led me to trying the Kathmandu Alfredo and when I tell you, I almost shed a tear when I tried it for the first time. As a pasta lover, this exceeded my expectation bc I almost always need a protein for my regular Alfredo meals, but I enjoyed it alone. I used the chicken with the naan and mint sauce, done! This is lengthy than intended but honorable mention the just the right amount of sweet mango lassi. No notes! Note: this is only from delivery, I’ll add photos when I visit

One of the best if not the best in town. Foods were delicious and served on authentic Nepali utensils. Prices are not too high either. Customer service was at its best. The only downside I found was they don’t accept credit/debit cards. Be prepared with cash if you wanna save time.

+1

This is some of the best food in the neighborhood! My only regret is not coming here sooner. Every dish was excellent - the goat skewers, the buffalo momo, even the lunch plate. Incredible and great service

For Nepalese food in Ridgewood, this is the spot. Reasonably priced with friendly staff and the vibes. This is a perfect spot for date night. The Momos was definitely the star of the show in a chilled tomato based sauce but the other dishes did not disappoint. The fish dish was very lemony with a masala type sauce which was full of flavor. The chicken platter was also delicious, with the pickled veggies and puffed rice added so much diversity in textures that each bite was very exciting. The spiced potatoes was also delicious, a bit spicy with Indian and Chinese type spices but not actually that spicy. Must try the Not a taco, full of flavor wrapped in a naan bread looks like a taco but is not was full of depth. Anything from the grill comes out smoking which was a nice theatrical touch. FYI - for dine in cash only

Excellent restaurant, I’m new to Nepalese food but this place puts it high on the list. We had the Momo, delicious. We got the vegetarian one to share for the table. The entrees were a ton of food and would be a good split option in the future. I ordered the goat entree and absolutely loved it. Most things are a little on the spicier side if you’re sensitive but by no means overwhelming if you have tolerance. Wow. A true 5 star. I will be back.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere! We had the Aloo Gobi Paratha and the Whole Grill Macha (trout). Absolutely delicious. And more than enough food for two. Recommend getting their spicy sauce on the side. Definitely going back.

I’m surprised it doesn’t have a Michelin Star yet. Absolutely authentic as it gets. It’s not indian food it’s Nepali and damn is it good. If you like traditional food from around the world this is the place to go.

You won’t be disappointed to dine in here; Young energetic Chef Bikash Kharel; through his deep knowledge to his food roots; has applied his skills to create a American-Nepalese fusion cuisine; a traditional Nepali flats bread roti filled with Kathmandu’s Newar clan’s beloved Chyola; and topped with American loved mayonnaise; you will find yourself in heaven; you will have all in one authentic Nepali cuisine topped with beloved American flavors. Their fish and fries sounds like British staple but when you test it your head will say owes. Momo the Nepal’s signature dish it’s so authentic; the tangy sauce served with it gives you your tongue something fresh taste combined of tomato cilantro Sichuan pepper. It’s taking you to Kathmandu vibs.

While in Kathmandu has opened my eyes to the glories of Nepalese cuisine. I do not understand why Nepalese food isn’t more popular in the states. This stuff is DELICIOUS! I’ve been here twice now. Have tried the garlic naan, pork momos, shrimp momos, goat dinner platter and chicken dinner platter. I fell in love with everything I’ve eaten. If you come here you MUST get at least one of the momos. I also recommend trying their homemade hot sauce. I love how the platters come with a bunch of different sides. It’s so fun trying all the unique flavors. I typically come here with my Pakistani friend. He’s actually been to this place more times than me. He’s never actually admitted this to me but I believe he enjoys Nepalese food over Pakistani food. His family back in Pakistan would be disappointed to find out. What isn’t disappointed is his stomach after he eats at While in Kathmandu.

the Alfredo pasta is phenomenal! super creamy and well seasoned, would inhale in one sitting if i could. always love coming here with friends & the service is great

Some of the items we ate. It's really delicious!! Staff was friendly. It is a cash only establishment. They have an atm on site, but bringing your own does save hassle.

CASH ONLY. We didn’t know that so had to use the ATM in the restaurant. Menu & food were amazing, highly recommend the momos (dumplings), taco, and goat entree. Staff was very friendly. Super cheap & great value

Another hidden gem in Ridgewood. The food is amazingly unique. So flavorful and most of all filing. I have a very big appetite so I love when a place can meet my portion sizes and not break the bank. The “not a taco” is one of the best taco adjacent things I’ve had in a while. The service is great and everyone seems to genuinely enjoy being there. So far everything I’ve tried has exceeded my expectations. Shiva, Bikash, and Swastika made me feel extremely at home, thank you. Not only can you see the love but you can taste it. Can’t wait to go back!

First time I tried Nepalese food and it was delicious! Staff was very welcoming and happy to share their culture with you. Items are reasonably priced too, so you can't go wrong trying it! Just be aware that they only take cash.

I really loved the fried meet and the garnishes! All of them were excellent. Not a huge fan of the rice but I know it is just because that was my first time and I was trying something new out. The service was great and I appreciated being exposed to a different culture’s kind of cuisine. Will highly recommend. Great food!

Soooooo good, highly recommend! The service was great, everyone was kind and the food came out quick. All the dishes had really nice flavor and we were completely stuffed by the end. I recommend sharing a bunch of stuff. Very affordable, just be mindful it’s cash only

I was skeptical coming to this place, but I was pleasantly surprised right away. The place looks very clean and service was attentive. I loved chicken momo was so so good, other dishes were also great. The place deserves a trip from Manhattan. I highly recommend!

Highly recommend this delicious restaurant! We’d been wanting to try this for quite a while and finally did—we had high expectations based on other reviews and they far surpassed what we hoped for. The staff were welcoming, kind and knowledgeable, very happy to share recommendations and checking-in to see if we needed anything. All of the food was really superb with a lot flavor! Since it was our first time I’m glad we tried the chicken khaja platter (the chicken was so tender and full of flavor!) but we’d probably stick to the smaller dishes next time as they’re perfect for sharing and you can have more variety. The masala fries had the right amount of spice and crispness, the cheese naan is a so unlike any naan we’ve ever had, the not a taco is a must (!!), the chicken momos were the most flavorful chicken dumplings we’ve ever had, my husband loved the goat Sekuwa (I’m not a huge goat fan but tried a bite and it was perfectly charred and the sauce it came with paired perfectly!). We can’t wait to go back and would love to try their outdoor back garden area on a slightly warmer day.

ordered for pickup. the vegetable momos with sadeko aalo (boiled potatoes) were out of this world. incredible layers of spice and flavor. strongly recommend this restaurant

Like everyone mentioned, truly a hidden gem! We travelled an hour and half to visit this and it was totally worth it. Food, Staff, Ambiance - Everything is good at this place :) And authentic Nepali cuisine. We loved the sautéed chicken wings, best so far we ever had!!!

Had the most lovely lunch here. The staff were incredibly friendly and gave great recommendations — don't skip the momo, especially if they have the water buffalo special; and the millet roti with the lunch plate was exceptionally unique. I can't wait to come back.

This food this spot pumps out is so damn delicious. If you hadn’t had a chance to check it out, make it a priority to. The staff there will take care of you the entire time and your wallet won’t be crying after you’re done. Big recommend.

Just had a absolutely lovely dinner date here! We ordered a few small plates to share including the cheesey naan, 3 spice chicken wings, Kathmandu poppers and, of course, the MOMOS. we recommend the water buffalo Momo! If you're going to order spicy food you also better get a mango lassi or some Nepali beers to drink with it.

Most authentic and delicious Nepalese food I’ve ever had! So spicy and delicious. Also have American fusion items like wings for the less adventurous. The staff is so kind and helpful navigating the menu. Momo not pictured because we ate them so fast haha. Can’t wait to return!

While in Kathmandu is a neighborhood classic- the space is beautiful, intimate, and lovely for a casual romantic evening! Service from Susie was amazing and friendly. The food is always incredible. Standouts are the pillowy Cheese Naan, veggie momos, and anything from the “Off the Grill” section of the menu. (Salmon was tender and beautifully spiced and I never knew broccoli could be so good.) Check out While in Kathmandu, it’s a beautiful neighborhood spot.

suzie was my server and she was v attentive and kindly answered all my questions abt the food. i had the chicken platter and it was the most flavorful dish i’ve had in a while—just what i needed after a long, grueling winter day. especially loved the achar, i wanted to buy a jar of it. great place to solo dine. and their price point is quite up there ngl, but so worth it. will be back very very soon

I've eaten here probably 5 or 6 times over the past decade (they've been in the neighborhood awhile!). I've never left a review but felt compelled to after my particularly wonderful experience this weekend. A good experience is the standard here over every single one of my visits- the food is always good, the staff is always kind, and there is always somewhere cozy and inviting to sit (their back patio is beautiful in the warmer months). I am a vegetarian - and even a vegan will have no problem with an amazing array of delicious food here. Healthy diners will also be happy to come here- as you can find meals with plenty of legumes, vegetables, and grains- while feeling healthier than most other restaurant fare, it does not skimp on flavor or satisfaction. I have come twice with my daughter and every single staff member is extremely wonderful with children- so it's very family friendly. I hope the neighborhood continues to enjoy and patronize this restaurant for many years to come.

spectacular food (I shared starters: wings, veggie momos, garlic naan, masala fish & chips; will be returning to eat my way through the rest of the menu)! really sweet staff, great vibe. also, extremely affordable, especially for the large servings! most memorable and delicious meal i've had in a while.

While in Kathmandu offers an amazing experience. It is cash only, but there is an ATM located inside. The space is cozy and the staff are kind and attentive without hovering, which makes the entire experience relaxed and comfortable. We started with the cheese naan, cut into generous triangles with lightly blistered surfaces and golden brown spots from the oven. It was served with a smooth mint sauce that tasted fresh and lightly tangy, balancing the richness of the naan. The dry rub masala wings came out deeply golden and crisp, coated evenly in warm spices like cumin, coriander, and chili. Instead of being saucy, the spices clung to the chicken skin, letting the flavor of the meat shine while still delivering heat and aroma. The momos were a standout both visually and in flavor. They arrived steaming hot, neatly pleated and glossy, arranged in a shallow wooden bowl. Beneath them was a thin, chilled tomato sesame based sauce, pale orange in color and lightly nutty. The contrast was intentional and well executed, hot dumplings against a cool, tangy sauce that sharpened each bite. Momos have Tibetan roots and became deeply woven into Nepali food culture, especially in the Kathmandu Valley, where they are everyday comfort food. The wrappers here were thin and tender, never doughy, and the fillings of water buffalo, pork, and chicken were juicy and well seasoned. The water buffalo momos stood out in particular, with a deeper and slightly sweeter richness that reflects how commonly buffalo is used in traditional Nepali cooking. For mains, the Kathmandu Alfredo was an unexpected but well balanced dish. The fettuccine was coated in a creamy sauce with a subtle Nepali twist, incorporating a tomato and chili base that added gentle heat and acidity. We added grilled chicken for a small upcharge, and the pieces sat on top with light char marks that added smokiness. The garlic naan served alongside was not just decorative but useful, perfect for scooping up the sauce. The Chitwan ko Tass arrived on a metal platter that felt almost ceremonial. Cubes of grilled goat meat were dark and caramelized at the edges, looking tender and juicy. They were served with a mound of puffy beaten rice, tomato and radish salsa, crunchy roasted soybean seeds, and fresh cucumber and radish slices. This dish comes from the Chitwan region of Nepal, where grilled meats are traditionally paired with fresh, acidic, and crunchy elements rather than heavy sauces. Visually, the contrast between the charred meat, pale rice, and bright vegetables was striking, and each bite felt balanced and intentional. The Chicken Khaja Platter followed a similar structure. Khaja refers to light meals or snack plates meant to be shared. This platter included juicy grilled chicken, chicken choila prepared with spices and mustard oil, grilled egg, puffy rice, fresh vegetables, and crunchy soybeans. The mustard oil added aroma and depth without overpowering the dish, and the mix of textures kept every bite interesting. My Poleko Lamb arrived sizzling on a cast iron plate set over a wooden base, still steaming when it reached the table. Cubes of boneless lamb were grilled until lightly charred and nestled among bright green vegetables, with mashed potatoes underneath soaking up the juices. A lemon wedge sat on top, ready to be squeezed over the lamb, and a side of Kathmandu coleslaw added freshness and crunch. It looked hearty and rustic, and the flavors delivered exactly that. To finish, I had an iced chiya. Nepali chiya is brewed strong with black tea, milk, ginger, and warming spices, and it is less sweet than typical chai. Served cold, it was smooth and refreshing, a calming way to end a rich and satisfying meal. Overall, they do an excellent job of blending traditional Nepali dishes with approachable comfort food while staying respectful to the cuisine’s roots. The visuals, textures, and flavors all feel intentional, and the experience as a whole feels honest, comforting, and worth returning to.

I came here on a Friday night around 6:00pm with my girlfriend. Right away, we were blown away by the kind and hospitable servers. The bartender was enthusiastic and made us an amazing drink with Nepali liquor based on our preferences. The food was so good that we didn’t get to take a picture before diving in. We had the sadeko aloo (very nice combination of flavors and textures), the cheese naan, two momos (chicken and water Buffalo), and the masala fries. The water buffalo momos were the highlight of the meal, but everything was incredibly delicious. We’re happy to have this place in our neighborhood and will be back.

Lauren Rosalanko

Excellent food! This spot always has great hospitality too. Momos are a must, if it’s cold the Masala tea or Hot honey and Lemon are excellent

Kendra

I love this spot! Really tasty delicious creative food and happy friendly atmosphere. I love the veg momos and pepper poppers and mango lassi.

Yash Khemka

Absolutely delicious Momos. 10/10 worth the trip. The chai was a bit lukewarm while it should preferably be hot.

Alexandra Azzam

The food was so delicious! I’m so glad I finally tried this cute spot with amazing food and super lovely service. The staff guided me through ordering and they were so kind and thoughtful. Amazed there wasn’t a line out the door for how good the food was and the value for what you pay. The momos were authentic and the portion was large. I’m so glad I don’t have to trek all the way to Jackson heights for legit and fantastic Nepalese food. Definitely a Ridgewood favorite!

I had a big day ahead with an important public presentation/performance, so I was a bit nervy. But I really wanted some Momos. It was the perfect place to soothe my nerves, in the back garden where I found myself among the birdsong, but otherwise, completely alone. The waiter was a lovely man and he recommended the water buffalo momos. Although I was initially reticent to try a new meat right before said performance, I’m so glad I did. It was delicious and slightly unplaceable meat-wise. The sauce was cold, the meat was hot, it was the perfect contrast. That said, I walked back out into the city armed for the day, having already dared to try something new, I knew I could confront something even bigger. Thank you to the waiter who encouraged me to try their new momos!!

Mandy Kuo

Haven't had the chance to visit Nepal but dining here made me feel like I got to try authentic Nepalese food. All the staff were very hospitable and the owner explained clearly the ingredients used. The plantain momo was delicious and so different from other momos I've had. The main courses had really unique side dishes and the puff rice was cool. The staff also shared their knowledge of Nepalese culture with us. Only downside was it was cash only.

Gabriel Daboss

The company was incredible. Laughter, joy, sorrow, and excitement. All of the previous emotions on that list I just made were in the air while in Kathmandu. One day, I would like to climb the Himalayas. Think of the fresh breeze one may experience while approaching one of its summits. Incredible. The food was good too, get the fish starter.

Pratik Lamichhane

Hidden gem 💎 amazing restaurant! Food was truly delicious and great service. Our new favorite restaurant. 🫶🏻 We will come back again!

Benjamin Cao

The staff is super friendly, the food was great, cleanliness good. It’s cash only tho so bring cash or use they atm they have at the back of the restaurant. Got the Water Buffalo Momo and Chicken Khaja platter. Momo is a must try: Ginger, coriander, spicy, pleasantly sour. Hot sauce on the side gives more flavor and spices. Dumpling is hot and sauce is cold. Nice balance so you can eat the Momo right away. I was the only customer atm, and it took a little while (20min) for it to come so it shows they make the sauce or the dumpling or both on the spot. Already half full at this point. The platter started good with very crispy juicy chicken and fried shallot crispy rice thing. Beans are also crispy, so is the pork thing . Vegetables are coated with kind of like egg salad thing. Great. So when I’m half way into the plate things started be very chewy and they become cold really quick. I suppose cold dish is a characteristic of Tibetan/Nepali cuisine. I spent $50 alone but I’m so full I can’t walk. so I think $30 would be sufficient to have a good meal here. Don’t be fooled by the size. The crispy rice takes up your stomach real fast.

Emily Cabarle

Incredible experience. Generous portions. Beautifully spiced. Fair prices. Great service. Lovely atmosphere. I had the sizzling clay-fired salmon (amazing!) and the garlic naan with hummus. Everything was fresh and came out in good time. They also have really nice beer options though I didn’t drink :)

Bailey Michael

Absolutely delicious and great service. Never would have thought I’d ever order a fettuccine Alfredo in public but that was amazing. And the cheese nan is probably the best I’ve ever had. Tons of vegetarian options too if you’re into that sort of thing.

Amazingly flavorful food! Cute outdoor seating in the back. Very quiet, perfect late lunch. Service was great, food came out quick. Had the saucy wings, garlic naan, poppers, not a taco, and pork momos. Incredible food! So delish.

Food was good specially the Jhol Momo. Sadeko Alu was tasty but very spicy Goat sekuwa- its was good but expected to be more softer and juicy.

I loved the vibe, its a Nepali place lotsa flavors, if you’re here try the Momos(dumplings), the nepali food have so much to offer. You can order anything and it would be flavorful and good. This is a lunch chicken platter i guess. Super cool place with a great ambiance. They only take cash.

Party of 4: They have minimal selection for vegetarians. If you are up for a new adventure in food try here. I personally enjoyed the appetizers more than the entrees a whole lot of different flavors enjoy. Entrees was difficult to eat and personally like things over rice.

I went there for dinner and got jhol momo, choila and chapat. Jhol momo was so good. However, they charged 5 bucks for soup which is half as much as the momo itself. Also, the place is cash only and they have ATM that charges 1.25 for each withdrawal.

A good experience with great food. We got the chicken momos and the duck choila (I believe). Both were superb and we really enjoyed the food. The service was slow, and our waitress needed us to stop her to let her know we hadn’t received all our food. That said, if not for the service this would be a 5 star place for me. I’ll definitely come back.

My three companions and I dined at a restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and top-notch customer service. The food was absolutely amazing, and we highly recommend the must-try masala fries and flavorful goat sekuwa. Although the dry chicken wings were just okay, the maleku ko maxa was particularly noteworthy. Unfortunately, the masala tea was not hot enough and failed to impress. On the other hand, we were blown away by the chicken and pork momos, and the Chitwan ko taas and duck choila were also delightful. All of this cost us $142, and we consider this restaurant as hidden gem in NYC.

Love the ambiance and service here - they’re kind and helpful! I tried the chicken khaja platter and it was interesting to try although I probably wouldn’t order again. There were a lot of textures and the soybeans were a bit strong for me. I would definitely want to come here again and try other menu items. Also it’s cash only! There is an ATM in the back :)

wallace dos santos

Delicious flavor palette and great vibe! Had a great dinner here. We ordered a mango lassi, water buffalo dumplings, garlic naan, and the goat platter! Absolutely delicious. Super cool arrangement of meat options!! Huge servings for the price and we were pleasantly stuffed! The goat platter had an array of interesting flavors. The goat was a bit gamey though, always feel a bit weird picking bones out of my food in a restaurant.

Felicity Ziri

Spacious restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating. Super friendly service. The server explained the dishes and made recommendations. I ordered the masala chicken wings, a chicken platter, and pork jhol momos. The pork momos were the best! They were the perfect size and texture and seasoned to perfection. The herbs in the filling weren't overpowering. Everything was perfectly balanced and delicious! It was paired with a flavorful and addictive sauce. The hot sauce offered with it really gave the flavors a nice spicy kick. The chicken platter was interesting to try. But, I wouldn't get it again because it had too many different textures. The fried soybeans and dry rice were odd to pair with chicken. I would definitely come back for the pork momos and great service!

Would have been a better experience if the AC wasn’t so cold 😅. The food and service were great and the Masala fries were our favorite! I really loved their menu as it was unique and different compared to your typical Jackson Heights restaurant. Not a Taco truly stood out to us, so much so that we even placed a to-go order later. 🌮

Dwight Kenneth

Sure! Here’s a more detailed and engaging review: ⸻ I recently dined at While in Kathmandu and overall had a pretty solid experience. I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars. The pricing is very reasonable, and the portions are generous, which is always a plus. It’s nice to find a spot that doesn’t skimp on serving sizes, especially in NYC. The highlight of the meal was definitely the chicken momos—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they take their time to make them right. However, the goat skewers were a huge letdown. The meat was way too chewy, almost rubber-like, making it hard to enjoy. If they could improve the texture—either by using a better cut of meat or adjusting the cooking method—it would make a big difference. Another downside is that this place is cash only. I get that some small restaurants prefer cash transactions, but it’s 2025, and most people don’t carry cash anymore. They do have an ATM in the back that only charges a $1 fee, which is better than most places, but that only helps if you happen to have your debit card on you. Accepting cards would make things so much more convenient for customers. That said, the service here is excellent. The staff is incredibly friendly, and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. It’s clear they take pride in making guests feel welcome, which really adds to the experience. Overall, I’d definitely come back, but I’d avoid the goat skewers unless they revamp them. The food, for the most part, is great, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. If they could tweak a few things—like the goat dish and the payment options—this place could easily be a 5-star spot.

We came here with hope to try few dishes but found that they only offer brunch. The brunch wasn’t that great and most of it is not even traditional Nepali food. The service was good.

Asked the server not to make the chat pat spicy, but still got it as spicy as possible my stomach hurt, and she didn’t care to change it or anything, she said “yeah normally he makes more spicy but for you he made less spicy” I don't even wanna know how spicy it can be. The goat skewers are supposed to boneless but it had pieces of bones in it so be careful when eating them. Also momos have pieces of bones in the meat so chew slowly. Overall taste of food was great but the service was super slow and they take cash only but still charge you tax on it. Strange

I just ordered masala fries and sautéed wings. The wings was very rigid and slushy in the sauce and it was sour. I was disappointed in the wings. The fries was ok. I shall not order from this place again. It was my first time having Nepalese cuisine. I don’t recommend the wings. I throw the wings into the trash. What a waste of money 💰?
