Latest developments!!! The Yak Restaurant (mentioned above by AX), which mostly catered Tibetan food so far, has now been bought and operated by two of very good Nepali friends. The new menu features about 20 exclusively authentic Newari/Nepali dishes. Name of the restaurant has also been changed to "Himalayan Yak". Some of the highlights: Chhoila, Sekuwa, Sukuti Khasi ko gidhi ra jibro ko bhuttan Gundruk Saandheko WO (bada) etc. I was there yesterday -- their very first day of serving Nepali food -- and was disappointed to find only a very few items from the Nepali menu were available yesterday, due to on going set up problems, they said. But i did get to try chhoila, chicken chili and aalu dum. They were EXCELLENT!!!!!!! Then I had Nepali Khana Special for entree: Khande thaali ma...bhat, chana ko tarkari, mushroom ko tarkari, deep fried ramtoriyaan (lady fingers) and tite karela ko tarkari...with dal and chiken curry on the side served on bowls. Amazing is all I have to say! Mughling mai basera khako jasto...ajha, much better! Everyone, specially those who live in the NY-metro area MUST try it! Location: 72nd street and Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights.
