"Mustang Thakali Kitchen is a good back-pocket spot in Jackson Heights. Keep it in mind the next time you’re in the area and want to spend some quality time with a plate of momos—maybe before or after a flight out of LaGuardia. We like the chow mein, which manages to be slightly charred and perfectly chewy with every bite, but if you’re here with a few people try a beef thali too. (Note that it doesn’t come with free refills, as at some other spots.) And, if your flight is delayed, order a drink, which they’ll mix at the large bar towards the back of the restaurant." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim
"The menu of this Nepali restaurant originates in the north central region of Mustang. Expect the usual steamers of momo, handmade noodles in soups and stir fries, vegetable salads, and warm meat jerkies sometimes containing offal. Goat is a highlight. Many of the meals are served on round metal thalis, each containing 10 or so small dishes and condiments." - Robert Sietsema
"I note that Mustang Thakali Kitchen is one of the Himalayan restaurants that offered a deeper dive into the region’s craggier cuisines, standing out among many places that presented overlapping, more limited menus." - Robert Sietsema
"In Jackson Heights I ate at Mustang Thakali Kitchen, a large, elegant Himalayan restaurant focusing on the Mustang District’s regional dishes—try bhatmas chiura (toasted soybean salad), yohsi (kneaded buckwheat starch), gajar ka halwa, and massive momo dumplings served with a grainy red hot sauce." - Eater Staff
