"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
"A "Serial momo crawl winner," this spot is a go-to for goat jhol momos as a reward after a rough week. The spicy tomato and chile broth "gets all up in the crinkles of the momo wrapper," and the goat meat filling is "juicy and flavorful but not gamey." Make sure to get both momo and broth in each bite; the heaping mound of momos "just multiplies the joy of eating each momo." - Caroline Shin
"At this full-service Nepalese restaurant in Jackson Heights, you can get your momos steamed and soft or fried and crispy, and both are solid choices—but we actually think the best order here is the soupy bowl of jhol momos. The crescent-shaped dumplings come floating in a thick, spicy, tomato and sesame-based broth. We usually go with beef, since its saltiness goes well with the jhol." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
"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
