Fusion comfort foods, momos, and tikka pizza with a bar


























"Recently renovated Nepalese and Indian restaurant Himalayan Kitchen serves house-made momos, goat biryani, and even freshly made pizzas with South Asian twists like palak paneer and chicken tikka toppings. The vibe is casual and lowkey, great for a small party of friends, and the new bar adds beer, wine, and cocktails to the mix — mango lassi with a float, anyone?" - Nathan Tavares

"Himalayan Kitchen isn’t an entirely Indian restaurant: This Union Square shop specializes in Indian American fusion (see: chicken tikka pizza) and Himalayan dishes. The goat biryani is compulsory, as are the Nepali momo, served in a variety of tasty styles." - Karen Wilber, Eater Staff

"A renovated Nepalese-Indian-American fusion spot with a new full bar, pairing comfort dishes like palak paneer pizza and juicy momos with cocktails such as a spiked mango lassi, and offering an updated dining room after a lengthy closure for renovations." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"Another Union Square spot, the casual Himalayan Kitchen offers a mix of Nepali, Indian, and American dishes, including some fusion — think chicken tikka “naanwiches” and palak paneer pizza. For momos, choose from vegetable, chicken, or pork, served steamed, pan-fried, johl-style, or spicy c-style. The counter-service restaurant is mostly geared toward takeout and delivery, but there’s a little bit of seating (and some nice decor) for dine-in. The lunch specials, served daily, are a solid deal." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal


"Himalayan Kitchen will be serving Fluff momos, aka “flufflings,” during the festival — a pineapple cream cheese version and a creamy ricotta version. There will also be Fluff-topped mango lassis to drink. The restaurant offers takeout and delivery, with online ordering available." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
