I'm definitely stoked to try it out.

I wouldn't give that reporter too much credit; between us and all our forum friends, I wouldn't be surprised if she had to look up Tibet on the map before penning the article.

In the article - That statement about Norling having the best momos in the neighborhood was out of nowhere. I have a feeling her writing was hacked up by the editor. The ones from Tsampa in manhattan looked good though!

I haven't been able to figure out yet, which styles are why they are - re: crescent and full moon shaped dumplings. Which regions are where...
Bhims and tawa foods have outstanding crescent shaped ones. lali guras and merit are pretty good too. I am not a huge fan of phayul's, and couldnt care less about the patola cart.
ohh, the place with what used to be spicy mina, now called woodside cafe, does fried momos... I organized a meal there... hold on, here's the link... http://malanddisexcellentadventure.tumblr.com/post/16979920579/nepalese-ambassador-in-jackson-heights actually, they aren't fried here. but you can get em!

The new sign Norling Tibet Kitchen went up today at Noon. I didn't see any customers inside the 74th Street entrance (large Formal Dining Room) but it was early in the day. Later at about 1PM, I went to the 73rd Road entrance walked in and the rear was crowded. The menu is posted at the counter on two pieces off paper. I noticed that everyone was having the Momo's. I was meeting someone nearby for lunch so I didn't stay.

To complete the loop on this post, I must say mea culpa in that I ended up trying not the joint as it looked sketch from the outside. If I am sorely mistaken, do correct my impression.

On a related note, I have enjoyed my experiences at Phayul should others be interested.

I agree that the place looks sketchy from the outside - especially the back entrance. I will never go in there...

I've liked all the places that have rentede space from the tawa bread ladies - this is really just a small part of the bread store that's being sublet (the way samudra was trying to do, much to the dismay of some here). This is good stuff. Hope they don't get overwhelmed, since three parties at a time would swamp them)

I have a longstanding fondness for Tawa Foods, but get there rarely. I used to live closer and stop in for their breads. More recently I was walking out of my way to go there to get kati rolls, which were fantastic. But it has been a while since I've been back. I look forward to checking this new venture out.

They still have the best vegetable momo in the area.

The first Bhutanese restaurant in New York has just recently opened on Woodside Ave. and 68th street. Haven't tried it yet, but I'll post more as soon as I do.

cool!
actually, Lali Guras on 76th st and 37 road has some Bhutanese dishes on the menu as well. it's not radically different than Nepalese, but there do seem to be subtle variations.

Jeffsayyes · « **Reply #86 on:** December 21, 2014, 12:08:47 PM »

lots of the himalayan places have a bhutanese menu (I know for sure Wasabi Point and GangJong), but this has always been variations of the dish erma datse - which is what the new place is called. I'm looking forward to finding out other dishes at the dedicated restaurant.

Woodside Cafe, which opened to mediocre reviews when it replaced the much-beloved Spicy Mina at Broadway & 65th, is worth a second look. The NY Times just named it a "critic's pick"...

The under-development Museum of Food and Drink is rolling out a series of "city guides." Himalayan cuisine in Jackson Heights is one of the first guides they've published. It includes a short video, plus articles on the history, foods, and specific eateries that can be found around the neighborhood.

My family enjoyed a delicious meal over the weekend at Nepali Bhanchha Ghar on 37th Road, a place we've been meaning to try since they won the Momo Belt at last year's Momo Crawl. I highly recommend it.

What are your favorite Himalayan restaurants currently?
