Cafe Himalaya

9.1/10Indian

AI-generated summary

Get the chicken, it's the dish people name over and over. Thukpa is the other go to and everything is cheap. The splits people. Regulars order the beef and , but anyone who has eaten momos in Jackson Heights says these don't compare. It's a tiny room that gets crowded on weekends with nowhere to wait inside.
