Burmese Bites

I like trying new food I never had before, honestly it was so worth it I love the food, service and the prices are good. Honestly I’ve been here twice and I’m going back again. Delicious amazing food highly satisfied 10/10 👍🏻👍🏻

The Burmese Chicken Biryani (Dum Pot) was quite flavorful. It was more reminiscent of a South Asian dish rather than a Southeast Asian one. I suppose this is a good place of try out Burmese cuisine if one is a beginner.  The best part about this location is that it's in the Queens Mall Food Court.

Excellent food! Super kind and helpful staff. I had the Shan Kaukswe which was simply delicious. I grew up in Southeast Asia and this place reminds me of home. GO HERE.

I'm not Burmese so I can't speak to the authenticity, but the food was inexpensive and tasty. I ordered the Dum Pit and I would probably buy it again sometime soon. The workers are very nice and will go out of their way to hope you enjoy the food.

Wow… we are not worthy. This place is amazing g. The chicken potato curry is stellar. Don’t waste a meal on any other business in this food court, Burmese Bites is a blessing.

Everything except one item on our menu is Halal. Only Dum Pot (Myanmar Biryani) is not halal.

Clay Oven

I had it once by chance. Every time I call there's an issue. I can't understand why they say they open at 11am, when I saw the workers coming in at 11am. I called at 11:15am, giving them a chance to settle in, I placed a simple order and told it would take 40 min to have my order ready. I was told they had nothing ready nor prepared and had just come in. So why not say you open at 12pm? Or have the employees come in earlier to set up. I could see them sweeping and cleaning, shouldn't this be done at night? I think the owner is cheap with the employees and doesn't want to pay for more hours, hence the non ethnic (to India) employees.

Favorite spot. Recently the hours changed and I have no way to visit after work for my usual date night, but this is the best food I’ve ever had. I only have sundays off, and they’re closed then. The owners are so kind and treat you like family if they know your face, I’ve been going here for years now. My only wish is they were open later like they used to be. Affordable and impressive always.

Absolutely loved their butter chicken..what a friendly staff. The lady was so endearing and ensured that my order was in place. Fast service as well. Thank you for the amazing food.

I absolutely love this restaurant. One of the few authentic delicious Indian spots in long island, and they’ll adjust the spicy level to your taste. The owners are so kind and are from the neighborhood. If you’re looking for amazing authentic flavorful Indian food I always recommend this location. I saw some of the negative reviews on bottom and am truly shocked I order from them once a week, and haven’t had one bad dish yet.

As always the food is delicious and full of flavors and the spices are very delicious. I wish they can have different sauce base for the various plates. Still, absolutely delicious

Malaysian, Thai & Vietnamese food favorites served in a lively, unpretentious setting.

Love Mama

Nice location for quality asian food. Great place to relax, people watch, eat good food or all the above.  I've had nothing but pleasant experiences here and plan to keep coming back. The bill was decent.

DELICIOUS:-) Food was super fresh and so so so tasty. Each Asian dish they made tasted authentic to its region and was full of flavor. You can sit outside now (because of covid) under some shade and enjoy the food. Staff was so friendly and prices were reasonable. I’ll be back for sure;-)

Definitely a 5-Star lunch special! There are so many options and the portions are huge. My favorite is the Chicken Curry Laksa with the steamed dumplings. Add a Thai iced tea and you have the perfect lunch. The staff is really nice and I've never had to wait for a table. Also great for takeout.

Great pan-Asian food.  Everything made from scratch by owner.  Long-term fixture of the neighborhood that never disappoints.  Highly recommend the dumplings, coconut and turmeric fried rice and crispy, grilled chicken with rice noodles.  all the Thai and Malaysian food is wonderful.  Get delivery, takeout or sit outside and be waited on by owner’s son.

MUST VISIT! It has - Thai, Vietnamese & Malaysian food. And all 3 of them are packed with flavor & you won't be disappointed at all! I had Uncle Plum's Dumplings, Mixed Seafood Curry Laksa and Rendank Nasi Lemank. The seafood Curry was simply brilliant! A perfectly spiced seafood coconut curry with egg noodles. MUST HAVE.

The owners of this restaurant are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status. Only the chicken is reported to be halal by the Muslim owner.

A Tibetan restaurant serving momos and more.

Namaste Tashi Delek

Delicious food, we really enjoyed the Johl Momo and the soup momo. the price was very reasonable as well. just remember they are in the basement.

If you come to this secret little eatery. You cant really complain about anything. But do order beef and or chicken momos. Served with a spicy type of soy sauce and spicy red sauce. Use both and boom. Very delicious dumplings. They're halal too !!

3.5 if I could.  Odd space,  fried beef momos are really good.  Momo soup is like a 7/10. But momos themselves were very flavorful.  Also got a samosa which was not good. Would return for fried momos.

These guys have the best momo in jackson heights!
NaaH, just kidding. I did not try other places yet.
But, so far I can say that their momo tastes great even though their soup is not satisfactory(Beware! Their soup is weird).
Their store is in a basement but, neat and clean as well as organized. Try them. You won't be disappointed if you are ok with weird soup and great momos.

These dumplings were life altering, after being out of town for a bit. Came straight off the bus from LaGuardia, on a whim. 

Man, it's good to be back in New York

Casual Himalayan eatery serving up momos & other dishes from Nepal, Tibet, India & Bhutan.

Himalayan Yak

It’s lovely restaurant, and beautiful design. The food is good and could say it was delicious. The music was an added bonus which makes the environment even better. The only thing that is lacking in my opinion is their service. There were more than enough servers but not organized, so they could not deliver good service to the customers. The place was packed on Saturday night, especially with the music event. For the first 30 minutes, the server showed up only once just to take the order!!! In the TWO hours, we stayed there, none of the servers stopped to ask if we need anything!!!! So, we waited until they passed our table and we asked them, but still they didn’t complete our request even after asking three times. I ordered soup, but they didn’t bring the spoon. I asked three times to bring the spoon!! by that time my soup got cold.

This place provides a true Nepali taste of food and drinks hands down. But they should really improve a lot on customer service. It was horrible both the times I visited this place. I can understand the waiting time for getting seated but once you are on the table your time should be respected. Locals were also complaining about the same songs being performed every time which was getting a little boring now. I’m sure they’ll address these issues so I’m still giving them a 4-star review. I hope to see a better Yak next time I’m there.

I get to eat here a lot since I work nearby. I must say the service is always awesome and they keep the place neat constantly. Prices are convenient and they serve generous portions.

Delicious food, everything had a distinct flavor. The service was super friendly and explained the dishes very well. I'd love to go back and try more things. The yak meat was interesting, and very similar to beef. We ordered a la carte, but the buffet looked really good too.

Great food! I flet like I am in Nepal; the outstanding nepali food selection and ambiance made this place standout among all other nepali place.

Compact dining room decorated with Himalayan items & serving a range of typical Tibetan cuisine.

Lhasa Fast Food

What’s up with their rude staff members? That one male chef is so arrogant and had no mask on. Fine I get it your inside the kitchen but why were customers with no mask allowed to enter the premises. Do they not understand the importance of keeping the place safe and that wearing a mask is essential. We used to go there every week before corona and the food was fantastic. The service was great with the female servers back then but now why did they replace them with this guy who lacks customer service skills. No greetings just straight rude and has a lot of attitude. The food is bland and it was a waste of money. Save the trip and don’t risk your health. They don’t take any corona precautions and take it personally when you tell them to wear a mask/gloves. Their kitchen is also open so customers coming inside without a mask risks spreading the virus to the kitchen/food.

Lhasa Fast Food delivers adventure and discovery at their Jackson heights location. Off the beaten path and tucked behind several stores selling cellphone accessories this cozy Tibetan restaurant transports you to another place for the cost of a MTA trip and a plate of dumpling. The standout dish at Lhasa are their hand made Momo dumpling. Piping hot, filled to the edges and powerfully flavored they should not be missed.  The soups and noodles are strong podium dishes that should not be missed on an initial trip. This is a special restaurant that deserves its journey and experience, take the trip today.

Shows lot of customer discrimination towards particular races. They will give more preference and hospitality to only white & Asian customers. They ignore and speak very rude towards black and brown customers. I witnessed this multiple times during my visits. Asian (Tibetan) owned restaurant. I suggest to boycott this restaurant and let these people teach some humanitarian  values.

I have few reasons why I’m giving a one star because the behavior of the employers are disgusting. The chef was not wearing a mask or a hair cap. They don’t warn their employees and customers to wear a mask. They also don’t tell people to practice social distancing. Not even wear gloves. There was no signs or warnings at all. They leave their restaurant door open. Like seriously?! I used to come here all the time. Now there are new employees and they are very disrespectful. The food tasted really horrible. It even tasted really old. This is how virus spreads. If you want your family to be safe, I recommend no one to come here. As a food critic, I’m very disappointed about this place.

This place is a bit difficult to find. It’s in between two electronic stores, walking down the hallway and at the stairs, go through the door on the right. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions. The restaurant is quite small too, there’s only 5 tables and it’s mostly tables for two.

Everything on the menu is inexpensive, the majority of the menu items are less than $10. I highly recommend trying out the Chicken Momo. It’s packed with flavor and delicious. I’d come here just for their dumplings if I were closer. A mixture of soy sauce and vinegar goes really well with it. The Chicken Chow Mein was decent. The portion size was quite large, but it’s too much of the same thing and the spices used can be overwhelming. It’s also a bit spicy too, so be aware of that if you’re not a fan of spicy food. This place is definitely still worth checking out.

Momo Crave

Absolutely loved the momos. Because of the pandemic they didn’t let us go in, they took our order from the door and we had to wait outside. We ordered Jhol momos, chaat momos and tandoori momos. Each of them were so delicious. It’s a must go place for momo lovers.

Momo crave is my favorite destination in NYC for delicious momos. Last time when I went there, all the way from New Haven, Connecticut (80 miles one way), I was very disappointed to see that the lady who was serving the takeouts was neither wearing a mask or gloves. How can people be so reckless during the time of pandemic? And, on the top of all New York was the epicenter.

A cozy little spot. Place is decent in size if you're planning to dine there. I liked their idea of different kinds of momos, they're also nice and spicy. Staff are courteous, service is quick, ambience is very well kept, neat and clean. Nice place to have a quick bite or a full meal.

Finally get to go there to try their MOMOS. Came top of my expectation. Loved the chaat momo. Bara was okayish. This was my second time actually. Had delivery before but nothing can beat eating there warm n fresh. Would definitely finish all on the menu. Small and cozy and clean.
Update : finished everything from their menu. Chicken bara is awesome. Tandoori momo is one of my favorite.

Hands down one of the best Momo spots I’ve been to. The innovative take on momo is definitely worth a shot. They have different types of momos and entrees as well. The Kati Roll was scrumptious. It literally melts in your mouth. Definitely will go again!

Halal Dynasty Restaurant

I have ordered over the phone. I said I was going to pick up at 8pm and the lady said it’s all set. My husband waited over an hour to pick up the food. It’s completely unacceptable! I mean how can you say it’s ok to be picked up and cook it after an hour! Learn to value customers and their time! HIRE MORE PEOPLE OR SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN SIMPLE!!! Completely disgusting and unacceptable!!!! UNPROFESSIONAL and stupid!

They delivered the food like this and when I complained to them they said bring the food back for a refund. So I ordered delivery and I have give my time to compensate for your poor services? Additionally they don’t seem capable of following simple instructions like call and don’t ring the bell at 11 pm at night when everyone in the house is sleeping. This place use to be good in all aspects but something changed and my past few experiences have been rolling downhill to this point. It isn’t my fault they didn’t hire enough drivers for a Friday night your manager needs to be scolded not me. Terrible customer service with those type of manners could they even be Muslim?

Waited over an hour for my food to be ready. Called for pickup exactly an hour and 5 mins before too. People came after me, waited on line and got their food before me. Not what I had expected. Prices are way too high as well compared to before. Food sucks. Horrible customer service and wait time. Just not right especially during a day of Ramadan.

Food was very delicious and portions were nice. This is authentic Halal Chinese food. Staff is courteous and quick.

The food is really good. But the people that deliver are the worst. They are are rude and forced me for tips. It’s supposed to be free delivery. At the place it self they don’t accept card. This makes it inconvenient for people paying with credit/debit card. When calling in it’s so loud. Other then that love the place. Today the delivery man was nice but still wanted tips....

Halal Dynasty

Kebabs are the focus of this small, no-frills Afghan spot featuring traditional cuisine & decor.

Afghan Kebab House

Afghan Kebab House was great. We came here for lunch since they have outdoor seating. The waiter was very nice and the food was delicious! I had the Kabuli palau with chicken which tasted really good with the yogurt sauce.  The pumpkin bolonee and dough were also good!  The baklava was amazing!

Intimate dining area, open kitchen and very interactive owner/chef. The ambience is that of visiting a friend's home for a really nice, authentic Egyptian meal. The food was phenomenal and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

We’ve been having their delicious food since they only sold bread!

This place ROCKS!! Omg, it’s so easy to walk by you would have no idea how good the food they’re putting out is. 
It’s all here and it’s all delicious.

I've been a patron here for years.  I get the chicken kebab every time and it never fails to be delicious.  The atmosphere is excellent and it is terrifically quiet.  I often go for business meetings.  Can't miss flavor.
