Our Top Pick
Himalayan Sherpa Kitchen
Himalayan-style dumplings and soups that outshine the standard curry lane.
Notable Picks
8.3
A Nepali-leaning Indian kitchen that’s strongest when you order into the Himalayan comfort lane—momos, thukpa, and deeper, bone-in curries—rather than treating it like a generic tikka-masala stop. The room is relaxed and the menu is wide, but the best meals stay focused: one dumpling starter, one warming bowl, and one slow-cooked main for the table.
Must-Try Dishes:
Jhol momos, Thenthuk or thukpa, Goat curry (bone-in)
What makes it special: Himalayan-style dumplings and soups that outshine the standard curry lane.
8.1
A Lincoln Square sit-down staple built around familiar North Indian comfort—rich butter chicken, sturdy biryani, and naan that’s best when it hits the table hot. It shines most when you order like a regular: one signature curry, one rice dish, and a tight set of breads and bright sides to keep the meal balanced.
Must-Try Dishes:
Butter chicken, Lamb vindaloo, Garlic naan basket
What makes it special: Classic North Indian cooking with a sit-down, neighborhood-regular rhythm.
