Lakeside NYC

This restaurant is owned by Nepalese people. As a Nepalese, I can tell you that they have some really good menu for Nepalese food. You can also get the famous buff momos. The momos are big, but the wrap is thicker than I like. Also, try the buff set. The servers are really nice and genuinely care about their customers.

This week, I just happened to park my car right in front of this restaurant. The big red banner with "Grand Opening" drew my attention. Since I needed to eat something anyway, I decided to give it a try. The two waitstaff greeted me with smiles and were very helpful. The place is clean and inviting. I ordered the Nepali Chicken Thali and loved it; it even came with kheer, my all-time favorite dessert. The waitstaff were very attentive, checking up on me and topping off my water glass. The service and food quality were top-notch. The menu offers a diverse range of Himalayan cuisines, including Nepali and Tibetan dishes. For those unfamiliar with Indian, Nepali, or Tibetan cuisines, here's a brief guide: Indian food is generally packed with masala spices and chilies, which might be too intense for some. Tibetan dishes are a great starting point with their subtle masala spice and no chilies. Nepali cuisine has a bit more masala spice and some chilies. This restaurant lets you explore all these flavors, and with a rotating menu, you can enjoy something different each time you visit. I highly recommend this place for foodies and any food lovers. It's a fantastic spot to experience a variety of Himalayan dishes in a welcoming atmosphere.

You have to check this place out for Newari food. Had a very nice late lunch at an affordable price which is rare nowadays. Who would have thought that soybean salad was so good, and the greens, and the pickles, and the chicken, and the pounded rice, and more. Beautiful place. Missed the lake though, but that's ok. It's an eight hour trip to get there for me, but can't wait to go back.

I wanted to bring to your attention an issue I encountered during my recent visit. I was charged $24 for the chicken butter masala, and upon reviewing the menu online afterward, I noticed a discrepancy in the pricing. I feel quite disappointed, as this situation has left me feeling a bit cheated. I kindly request that you look into this matter to ensure that other customers do not experience the same issue in the future. It was on 01/01/2025 between 9 to 10 PM . Really disappointed

I am always down to try new momos and after seeing this place advertised as participating in the momo crawl, I was pumped to try it! Ultimately, worth the try and would consider getting more dishes. I'll start by saying there are a lot of dishes I had never heard of. I love food from Nepal but I'm not so familiar with Newari cuisine and I was a little lost as the menu is extensive. We got a bunch of momos to start. Pork chilly, beef kothey momo, steamed chicken momo. The pork chilly was our favorite. Great amount of kick to it. The jhol momo in the soup base was interesting- a little hard to eat but nice. I do feel as if the momos broke a bit too easily so were hard to eat in less than one bite. For mains, started with the samay baji. I wasn't sure how this would be in takeout as the pics include tons of little side dishes. We probably would have enjoyed this better in person as it was a little confusing to eat. I didn't really enjoy the beaten rice but I don't think that's because of how it was cooked here. Interesting dish. The beef choila we ended up saving for another meal. It's somewhat surprising that this is served without rice. It's really quite salty to eat on its own.

"I recently visited this restaurant and was pleased to find it clean and well-maintained. The service was friendly, although one of the servers who speak Nepali could benefit from further training to enhance their knowledge of the menu. Sever needs to know what kind of food is that shows in the picture. The food was decent, but not outstanding. One area for improvement is the pork batel dish, which didn't quite live up to its name. Perhaps a revision to the recipe or menu description would be beneficial. Overall, a solid experience,

Badel sadeko 😋 too good. Great service and suggestion from waitstaff bhaini.
