Award-winning momos, thalis, and sel roti in a casual setting
"This casual spot on Roosevelt Ave is our first choice for a sit-down Nepali feast in Jackson Heights, which is a neighborhood full of Nepali restaurants. Start with the sweet-and-salty sel roti. It’s made to order, so you might burn your fingers ripping one apart while deciding what else to get. Go for a plate of momos, any which way, and dip them liberally in chili sauce. We especially like the beef jhol momos in a thick, creamy sesame-tomato jhol. Beef Jhol Momo, $9 and Sel Roti, $1.50" - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"Yamuna Shres’s casual Jackson Heights restaurant, which opened in 2015, joins several Nepali restaurants that have opened in Queens, specializing in momos, which are South Asian dumplings. At Nepali Bhanchha Ghar, the momos are served fried or steamed in a glistening tomato-based sauce stuffed with potato, paneer, goat, shrimp, beef, or chicken. It’s no wonder that they’ve won the Jackson Heights Momo Crawl five times. There are indoor dine-in services; Uber Eats takeout and delivery orders can be placed online. Don’t skip: While, yes, obviously get the momos, don’t forget to explore the rest of the menu, especially the thali options (set meals)." - Emma Orlow
"Known for goat jhol momos served in a spicy tomato and chile broth, offering a juicy and flavorful experience." - Caroline Shin
"Walk into Nepali Bhanchha Ghar and you’ll see a few tables and an open kitchen with someone making sel roti (circles of sweet, fried rice flour bread). If you don’t want to eat one of those after watching as they’re cooked, you probably need to do some thinking about your life priorities. This Nepali restaurant is right by the Roosevelt Avenue subway station, and also makes some excellent momos and thali plates. Come with a group and sit in the full-service dining room downstairs." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, carlo mantuano
"When we want to have a sit-down Nepali feast in Jackson Heights—a neighborhood full of Nepali food—this casual spot on Roosevelt Ave. is our first choice. The dining room is always occupied by families whose tables are piled high with stacks of sel roti. The sweet-and-salty dough crowns are made to order, so you’ll burn your fingers ripping them apart while deciding what else to get. Go for momos, any which way, and dip them liberally in chili sauce. We especially like the beef jhol momos, swimming in a thick, creamy sesame-tomato jhol. " - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim
