Timur House Restaurant

I've been a couple of times and liked their dishes spiced with Timur. Good jhol momo and crispy fried chili momo, and earthy dhindo served with a set of sides (I chose chicken). Reasonable prices. Garlic bread came with a nice veggie curry, but bread was least favorite of dishes I tried.

Ordered fish fry, jhol momo, chilli momo and chicken choila. It tasted so bad. Jhol momo was cold I know nepali jhol is supposed to be cold but what about momo itself? I am nepali, chilli momo was full of tomato paste and the taste was sour, little sour is understandable but not being able to eat because of sourness is something else. Chicken choila had a very bad smell of cooked fish oil. Even the chana was raw which should not be. There were no people at the restaurant. I have seen other reviews and photo and my chilli momo was drenched in tomato paste. All in all a bad experience. I also talked with the server then and there.

Everything was so flavorful and fresh. The ambiance and service were great. If you’re looking for authentic Nepali taste, you won’t be disappointed. I also loved their masala tea.

Decided to try this restaurant for take out, wow pleasantly surprised. I had the Flame Grilled Fish and chicken Momos. The fish was spiced perfectly, splash of savory saltiness and some citrus lime. The side it came with was spiced couscous which was excellent side to a healthy meal. The chicken momos were steamed, juicy on the inside. Came with some mango sauce I believe, it was excellent. I think this place is excellent at flavors and cooking on the grill, I can tell from how they cooked the fish. I highly recommend!

Went here on a whim and left pleasantly surprised! I’ve never tried nepalese food before but the waiter was very patient and accommodating to all our questions and dietary restrictions. We ended up getting the chicken choila and the chicken momo. Both were good and flavorful! Great introduction to nepalese food!

“The thali, chowmein, and all the food are very delicious. The taste is really good, prepared with care, and served with polite and respectful behavior. If you come here once, you will definitely want to come again. Whenever I come, I always end up here.” Be

The food tastes great! If you're looking for authentic Nepali flavors, this is the best place to visit.

Very happy to have found this place! Fantastic, fresh-tasting, perfectly spiced, not-too-greasy, and cheap Nepali food. I got the mutton thali - meat was perfectly tender, sides were great too. I went early in the dinner service and the manager/owner was very attentive and kind. The only negative I would note is the cold, white/bluish lighting in the main dining area, which in a way has its own bizarre charm but which I find an odd choice for lighting an otherwise perfect restaurant.

I'd rate Timur House four and a half stars. It's a Nepali restaurant named after the cuisine's namesake pepper. The timur pepper was utilized in their chutney which accompanied some of the apps and momos. It was also used in their jhol (soup). The pepper gives an orange color. The staff likened it to a Sichuan pepper but I found it more similar to a mild cayenne pepper. I didn't taste much spiciness while I ate the dish. There was a mild spicy mouthfeel after the meal and a very minor nasal affect which was cleaned up with a quick wipe (didn't even need to blow). Now that we understand Timur, let's delve into the meal. I started with a cup of Nepali chai. I believe it was made with a little ghee and their blend of Nepali spices. As good as any masala chai or chai latte that I've had though I'm not aficionado on chais. For appetizer, I had the fried whiting with the Timur chutney. Came with two whole whitings with a thin and crispy batter. It's a small fish, so you can eat it while with the bones. Basically, an adult fish "tender." It was fun and easy to eat. Fish was still moist but the highlight was the ultra savory chutney. I wasn't able to identify what was going on in terms of spices and seasoning, but sautéed onions, peppers, and garlic were certainly the prevalent. For the main course, I opted for the vegetable momos. You can have them steamed, fried, or in their jhol (soup). The waitress recommended the latter, so I chose that. The jhol was similar to the chutney in flavor profile, but a bit thinner in that broth or water was added to liquify it. The soup was geniously served cold allowing the heat from the momo to transfer to the soup. This effectively allowed me to guzzle down the hot momos at a rate that I've never achieved before. I was the only one there, but service was attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was casual. Pacing of the food was on point. Only one restroom that I noticed; it was spacious and gender neutral. Edit: I bought an order of chicken momos to go for my wife. She did not finish them, so I had a few. They came with the timur based sauce. I could definitely taste the resemblance of the timur pepper to the Sichuan pepper in the cold sauce. Not sure if this was because I had it cold or if the sauce had a higher concentration of the pepper. Nevertheless, the momo sauce was superb!

Everything was soo good! Highly recommend this place! Amazing service! And amazing food !!

Everything is delicious, servers are super friendly! I'd come back again and try other dishes soon.

Timur House serves up a delicious, flavorful, filling and perfect thali. Wonderful blend of spices and flavors hitting all the sweet, sour, acidic, salty notes that makes a Nepalese meal extra special. The service is encompassing of true hospitality. Would happily return.

They really have a nice friendly service with delicious food. Perfect location in Rosevelt Jackson heights
