I'm not a fun of momos, but I found their samayabaji quite impressive. There are two types of meet for the chicken version: chicken chilly and chicken gizzards. Both are really flavorful.
This is a Nepalese place where I tried the chicken thali. It was okay – the other people in the restaurant were eating momos, so it appears that is the popular choice here. However, I wanted to have something I'd never had before.
The thali is a served on a round metal plate and comes with a bunch of little portions of various items. The one here consisted of: dal (a lentil stew), achaar (pickles), khursani (fresh chili peppers), nibua (lime), saag (mustard greens), a couple slices of cucumber, some curried potatoes, a yogurt chutney, stewed beans, and the chicken. In the midlde is a generous portion of bhat (rice).
It was nice to sample a few different things, but anyone who has eaten South Asian food before will find it all familiar. The food is completely fresh either. The seating area is on the second floor, but I could still heard them downstairs microwaving all the various things for me.
Perhaps the momos are better here?
I have had great mono, and this sir, is not great momo. This is a product, that while made on site, doesn't live up to the great tradition of meat pressed inside dough that can be enjoyed from Kathmandu to the Mustang Valley. And well, this is just ordinary.
Certainly the setting seems authentic enough. The woman behind the counter is Nepali, as the clientele on both floors of this Nepali cafe. There are small children born in this country and men who came over here to give them a better life.
I wish they had told them to make better food. The sauce on offer is really good. It comes, as is standard, in ketchup and mustard squirt bottles. The sauces are red (hot) and yellow (more of a balanced flavor).
My order of mono, which came out of the microwave after an interminable 20 minute, was dry, and the green sauce that came with it did not taste like much. Thankfully with plenty of the yellow sauce, it approached a satisfying lunch. I just can't say it was anything even close to notable.
Momo lovers of New York – keep searching.
I'd heard the momos here were superb but never thought to go in cause at first glance I didn't see any seating. The tables are upstairs (all 5-6) of them. The thalis (rice, lentil, veggie and meat platter) were decent but the momos are to die for. They are seriously the juciest momos I've had in any restaurant, here or Nepal. Service was fast..we kept on ordering plates after plates of momos cause our mouths wanted more and they would bring them outs in matter of minutes.
