Gorkhali Nepalese Restaurant New york

Gorkhali Restaurant in Roosevelt is one of the best places to enjoy authentic Nepali flavors in New York. The sekuwa, sukuti, and fish thali are especially delicious — perfectly cooked with the right blend of traditional Nepali spices. The sekuwa is juicy and smoky, the sukuti is crisp yet tender, and the fish thali feels like a true taste of home. The portion size is generous and worth the price. The restaurant has a cozy Nepali vibe, clean seating area, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service person was very polite and friendly, making sure everything arrived on time and just right. Whether you miss Nepali food or want to try something new, Gorkhali Restaurant is definitely worth visiting. A great spot for family and friends to gather and enjoy genuine Nepali hospitality and taste.

First time to have Nepalese food. It was decent. Not spicy at all. We enjoy the flavor of chicken. But the price was bit higher than I expected. Service was good even with some language barriers. Its good to have a try.

I feel like this place is unnecessarily hyped. I ordered both pork and chicken sekuwa, and they were actually very good,juicy and flavorful. The drinks, including the margarita and rum punch, were terrible. I honestly don’t know what was in them. The jhol momo was okay, nothing special. The chicken thali was very disappointing. The chicken was too plain, and the saag tasted undercooked and bland. The service was fine.The chilli momo was the worst it was not worth the price at all. The spices smelled and tasted raw, which ruined the dish. Overall, I would only recommend the sekuwa. Everything else really needs improvement. Adding this picture because this one was the best.

Worst pani puri experience I’ve ever had. I ordered pani puri and momo for takeout. The momo was fine, but the pani puri was completely disappointing. Instead of the proper aalu filling, they gave me aalu ko tarkari, which totally ruined the flavor. No one makes pani puri like that, and I have never seen any restaurant do that. If you can’t provide the correct ingredients or make it the way it’s supposed to be, then it really shouldn’t be on the menu. Customers pay for the food they expect, not random substitutions. Really disappointed.

Momo literally takes forever but is pretty good. The chowmein is excellent! Good service.

First time experiencing Nepali food and I was not disappointed! So many options, so flavorful and I definitely look forward to going back.

I come here every week for either tasty Pani puri and Chatpate or just dinner with friends. This time we decided to order their Thali which was okay. Few months ago, we had their Malekhu and Majhi kuna ko Macha which were pretty good for the price. Their chicken momo, sekuwa and keema noodles are definitely good picks if you’re trying them for the first time. But I’d recommend avoiding items like chilli chicken, chips, or paneer etc. I used to order them regularly hoping they’d improve, but they never did because their chilli sauce just isn’t that great.

Food was decent but the music was too loud. Portion of food was too low. We asked for normal tap water they gave us bottle water that was surprising. They charged 18% service charge just for 3 people, i’m not sure whether they give to the servers or not Servers were very nice.

We had the best Saturday night dining at Gorkhali. My friend had recommended it and the group was feeling adventurous. You could tell the restaurant was authentic since the diners were mostly Nepalese and Tibetan. We sat upstairs where they happened to have live music and the singer was phenomenal. He even let our friends sing a song too. The serving staff was very friendly and helpful since we had very little to no knowledge of Nepalese/ Tibetan foods. We ordered: -fish thali* -momo -Bhatmas Sandheko* -piro kakra* -chatpate* and a few other dishes. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the food was spicy*! I loved it! I would definitely come back to learn more about these dishes and try them!

Aloo dham lacked any seasoning Was wai sadeko was good but not spicy enough Chicken nomo with jhol - momos were ok(thick wrapper) but the jhol was amazing Thali- vegetarian thali was really good. Chicken thali was honestly very average. It satiated my appetite for Nepali food. So I'll give them that. The thali also took forever to come.

We visited here for the very first time during the 2025 Momo crawl to try their momo, look at their menu, and see if we wanted to dine in. The manager or owner was so rude and disrespectful, we walked out and have no desire to return. There are so many other dining options in this area where people are pleasant and welcoming. This was not the momo crawl champion and the reasons why are apparent. Do not go to this establisment.

I recently went by for lunch. I was craving something and decided to get some steamed chicken Momo's. The waitress was kind and had let me know that the momo would take at least 15 minutes to be made, so I was able to sit and relax. It was lovely looking at all the interior decor and peering out the window and watching people walk in the pouring rain. The meal was perfect for me. I would return.

The atmosphere is a lot of fun and the service was good had nothing to complain about it. The food is fine but didn't blow me away, I have had a lot better and more in depth of flavors from other Nepalese restaurants before. Its not too expensive! If you are in the area this place is defintely worth a try!

Great Nepalese restaurant with authentic dishes. Food was great and waitstaff were lovely!

Always seen this place and finally decided to come in and have a meal. I ordered the mixed Thenthuk. Absolutely delicious. Up there for my favorites in the neighborhood. Have to come back for jhol momo. Guys at the next table ordered and it smells so good. Service was quick. Seating upstairs and downstairs.

I'm lucky enough to live near Gorkhali's new Brooklyn outpost, but I had to try the OG location in Jackson Heights. It's actually not right in the main 74th st chowk area, but a few blocks away under the 7 train, and it's set up with an upstairs eating area, just like many of the small restaurants I'm used to seeing across the hill stations of the Himalyas. I ordered a veg thali and we shared the chili momos. These were some of the best veg momos I've had in Queens - they used a mix of chives with other vegetables to give some texture. In the veg thali, I really enjoyed the black dal - it paired perfectly with the 3 tangy achaar varieties that were included. It was a weekday so the upstairs stage was empty, but it looks like there may be live music on the weekends here!

Tried something new this time. I was surprised with their mix chowmein. It was really good. You can rarely find fried dish in a Nepali restaurant and it was good too. Just be aware that they usually include tips in the cheque.

It's a great option for Nepalese cuisine and they have a bar upstairs (but didn't try the bar). Meaning you can have drinks with your food, which doesn't happen at all the Nepalese restaurants in this area. So if that's your thing, then maybe this is the place for you. Once again, don't sleep on this place. Seating-downstairs and a bar upstairs. Ambience- medium sized restaurant, sort of hole in the wall vibes, but again in the best possible way. Service- The owner's homestyle food is pretty great and if you want legit/traditional Nepalese cuisine then this place is for you. It's quite phenomenal. The young men and women that run the place are kind and polite. Food-Thali is good. Definitely get it. It is authentic Nepalese cuisine you will find on this side of Roosevelt. I also wish she would expand and come to manhattan. veg chow mein-show stopper if you like it hot, and we do. if you don't like spicy cuisine then maybe ask them if they can make it less spicy because it's hot and if Im saying it that says something. Jhol- love it, again right amoutn of heat and sour and momos are fresher than other places. Price-average/v. reasonable for what you are getting. Can not emphasize enough to come here and try it out by yourself, with a group on a date, whatever you want. Just make sure you don't sleep on this tiny little slice of Nepal hidden on the quiet side of Roosevelt. Let me know what you get?

What can I say ? I wanted to try this place since it first opened and then when I read some Yelpers' odd experiences, well, the curiosity got the best of me ! The server was nice and the food was okay. Yes, here comes the but...the food was tapas style portions and over priced. Appetizer and entrees came at same time. We were told the food was too spicy/hot, it burned the roof of 2 of my guests mouths ! We had to order a side of rice and water to ease their pain ! They have a diverse bar collection and do live performances on weekends, so I am assuming this is more like bar food type place. $108 for 3 adults and a kid. Oh, the stairs to the seating area and bar are like something out of an amusement park...go up and down at your own risk !

I got the chicken thengthuk. It did take some time for the bowl. The bowl was quite huge and piping hot, jsi the way I like it. The broth was great, started with a sip and immediately felt the warmth and taste. The chicken seemed dry and needed effort to chew in. The noodle however was amazing, it was thick and had the right texture and chewiness. This was comfort food. With the toppings of onions, green onions and fresh cilantro, it tastes great and I cleaned out the bowl.

I ordered the chicken thenthuk on DoorDash. The soup base was flavorful. I really enjoyed the texture and taste of the hand pulled noodles. I think this a great option for Nepalese cuisine as there aren't many options nearby and this one tastes good. I just think the chicken was slightly over cooked. All food was packed very well for transport.

The vegetable thali was wonderfully flavorful, and the fried vegetable momo were crispy and delicious. The server was warm, courteous, and attentive. The closest thing that I have to a complaint is that there's no coat hook in the clean and spacious bathroom. But that's no complaint at all.

Exceptional Nepalese restaurant, probably the best in NYC. I've been multiple times and it's the best - delicious food, gracious waiters and one time they were even hosting a wedding upstairs. My standard go to order is wai wai sandekho, steamed chicken momos and shukuti thali. The mixed chowmein is also exceptional. Don't miss it!

Great place in Jackson Heights NYC. I've never been to Nepal, but HAVE eaten Nepalese food in Tibet. It's delicious. I had the Rakshi Ko Sathi (Pangra) and MoMo in chili sauce. Along with Taj Mahal lager. If you like Nepalese cuisine OR just want to try something differently delicious, this place rocks!

We went to Gorkhali Nepalese Restaurant to have Momos. First they told us to sit where we like then they came and changed our seat saying its reserved(there was no sign) but the whole time no one came in. So that was weird. The Momos were pretty good. We took Jhol Momo,beef chili Momo, Beef Thenthuk. The lassi was good too. I forgot the name of the Dish that looks like White Daikon Radish lol. It was not good. The server was nice and friendly.

Service was nice. Very nice. Goat thali came it was cold I put my finger in it and don't feel nothing, my server said she can go get it heat up. Dono what happen in kitchen, but my oh my my black lentil and goat was very very salted.. my first and last time here. I should have gone other place :-(....

Food was 10/10. Didn't take long to be seated and didn't wait to long for food to come out. Food was fresh. Will come back for sure. Make sure to try chicken soup with Thali.

The best authentic taste of nepali food.thali and momo yummy . All kind of achar ...yummy

Best achar I've ever had -- I strongly recommend the radish. Among the best momo in the area, too, and the shared sauces hit the spot. The veg thenthuk was just okay; I suspect the meat versions here are the real winners. Great neighborhood vibe; we ate upstairs among families, workers kicking back tallboys after a long day, teenagers on double dates. No-frills ambience so you know it's all in the food!

I can't say enough good things about the food I had here, WOW. I had the chicken chow mein, which was so so flavorful and filling, but the beef jhol momos were the star of the show. The soup was incredible and so were the sauces they came with. Can't wait to try more here.

The food sucks and on top of that when you order for takeout, they do not give you any utensils, napkin, sauce, nothing....never had this in any Nepalese restaurant before, very poor....they also serve you very less item on their main dish, poor poor service and cheap....customer wants what they pay for....I guess the workers did it on purpose always because the owner don't pay them well....very disappointed! If you cannot give online service than stop taking online and phone order, just do dine in...I bet people don't even tip on that because they know your service very well...you might get away thinking its nothing but believe me it starts from the one and lead to the other....

This is the very worst place in NYC. Poor customer service, delay in taking order, more than hour to get food. They don't care the customer, the server was very rude and disrespectful.i would not suggest this place .

Newly opened Nepalese restaurant around Jackson heights. Their jhol momo is to die for and their dhindo ko thali is delicious as well.The server, he was courteous and super friendly. You can sit upstairs as well.

Excellent delicious food, water Buffalo sewwa is the best. Service is okay, but overall if you are looking for good old Nepalese food, check this place out.

Amazing food!! Just blew my expectations. I always passed through this place and for some reason never went in. Finally i did and its my fav spot for nepalese food. My craving for dedho thali and sukuti . It makes you feel like your back home . Delicious!!!

This is my favorite in Jackson Heights. The Chicken Dharo Thali is awesome. The people are super friendly. I would recommend this to ANYONE. My wife, who is from Nepal, says their chicken fried rice is so fresh she always orders from there. Seriously I've been to nepal and this place has better food.

Ordered pickup here numerous times during Quarantine 2020, and their food never disappoints. I'd recommend the chicken fried rice paired with their spicy sausage chili. Also my roommate swears by their momos and pani puri. If you're looking to delve into South Asian cuisine, particularly Nepalese, then you should definitely give this place a try.

Best Nepalese restaurant in town. My favorite is their mix- chowmein and beef jhol momo. Excellent customer service and the prices are very affordable.

It's just 3 block away from train station. Very friendly staffs with good service and amazing food.
