I intend to go to Himalayan Yak tomorrow for lunch with a friend.  First time either of us will have himalayan food, so we'd like to try to the buffet.  Does anyone know if there will be a buffet tomorrow (Monday, labor day)?  Also, do they take credit cards there?

Even if the Yak is not offering buffet, may I suggest thali?  It's a delightful tray of several dishes served with rice.  You can get refills of the dishes you like.

I saw that on the menu, and was thinking that looked like a good option.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I went to Himalayan Yak for lunch today and it was very good...  I was pleased to see separate "vegetarian" sections on the menu by category.  I did try the thali, and it was a nice, spicy assortment of food... my favorite was (what I think was) mustard greens.  My friend had the vegetarian momos, and she said it was good, but not very unique (although I saw she did not try any of the dipping sauces with it--just ate it plain).  I saw other reviews (maybe on yelp?) complaining about small portions, but it was plenty of food.  I had extra left on my plate, and more than 1/2 of the rice given left.  I didn't get any refills.

And to answer my own question, they do take credit cards.

We got some chicken Momos to go from Tsering last night - very good, very inexpensive. ($5, including a can of soda. We split the order at home and served with fresh salad). I'll definitely be back for more. Cute, clean looking small storefront (partially hidden behind the phone card booth in the front), nice guy behind the counter.

How late did you go? I’m curious how late they’re open.

I've been getting some lessons during the day lately - and if you go then, you might see why.
I believe tsering is open til midnight.

The website for the new South Asian restaurant called Family at 75-18 37th Ave is http://www.safamilynyc.com

Menu lists momos, varta (traditional Bengali dishes), tandoori, biryanies and Himalayan noodle soup, among other items.

Norling Tibet Kitchen

Hey all,

NYT gave a shout-out to JH today in relation to Losar and Tibetan cooking (see link below).

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/22/dining/momos-tibetans-forbidden-special-treat.html?pagewanted=2

The article mentioned a Norling Tibet Kitchen, for which I cannot find any information online.  Does anyone have any clue where it is located and care to share your general thoughts?

Thanks.

Someone posted in chowhound mentioned that Norling Tibet Kitchen is at 7415 Roosevelt Ave (formerly Chautari Restaurant).  A sign with the new name should be up shortly.

betting on good results. the last three places in this space -- all tibetan -- have been good to very good.

my one head scratcher about that times article? beef momo are on menu at most places in this area, not forbidden and not even surprising -- most places have beef dishes, from stir-fries to the awesome beef heart at himalayan yak. i don't know exactly what the journalist in question was thinking.
