"Prabal Gurung, Fashion Designer “[Both] Thamel and the Himalayan Yak restaurant in Queens have truly won my heart. These establishments stand out as the ultimate destinations for savoring the flavors of Nepal. It's not just about celebrating Diwali; it's a year-round affair filled with incredible food, a delightful community, and a heartwarming ambiance that always makes you feel like you've found a home away from home. The menu, featuring momos and a wide array of Nepali delights, is a culinary journey you won't want to miss. And, if that's not enough, the occasional live music adds the perfect finishing touch to an already remarkable experience.”" - jess basser sanders
