Nestled on Queens Boulevard, this comfy spot serves up authentic Nepalese delights like thalis and juicy momos, all set to a backdrop of live music.
"Bajeko Sekuwa is a chain from Kathmandu that has since expanded to the US, bringing with it a replica of a traditional Himalayan kitchen, which you’ll see when you walk in. There are lots of tables for large groups, and a lengthy menu, so bring friends and try as many things as you can. We like their chilli dishes and momos—the simple fried ones are juicy enough to warrant tucking a napkin into the collar of your shirt. They also have a whole section of the menu dedicated to goat head dishes." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim
"A chain from Kathmandu that expanded to the US, Bajeko Sekuwa has a replica of a traditional Himalayan kitchen when you first walk in, and the dining room is filled with lots of tables that can seat a group of five or more. The menu is pages long, so bring friends and try as much food as you can—this is the kind of place where you could have a big group meal or a casual birthday dinner. The menu has a whole section dedicated to goat head (try the fried version), but you’ll also find classics like chili dishes and thali. " - neha talreja, nikko duren
"If you’re planning a big momo-eating outing with a group of friends, Bajeko Sekuwa in Sunnyside is your best bet. It’s more of a sit-down spot than some of the other Nepalese restaurants in the area—the kind of place where you could easily have a big group meal or even a birthday dinner. We like all the varieties here, but the smoky, crispy pan-fried momos have our hearts." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim

"Bajeko Sekuwa — “grandfather’s barbecue” in Nepali — opened in Sunnyside in 2018, the restaurant chain’s first location outside of Nepal and its 14th outpost internationally. The restaurant has tentative plans to offer its a la carte menu for outdoor dining on New Year’s Eve, but it will be available for delivery or takeout regardless." - Luke Fortney, Eater Staff
