5.0 of 5 stars. This place is so good that I almost don't want to review it for fear that too many people will find out about it! But I want everyone to experience one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in all of NYC.…

5.0 of 5 stars. A friend of a friend reminded me on new years eve that this is my favorite Tibetan place in NYC. I like the food and atmosphere at Tsampa, but Cafe Himalaya tastes like I would imagine home cooking…

Dumplings!!

The potato momos are so good! The food is cheap, and tastes fresh and homemade. I live down the block and have been here numerous times. I always leave happy.

Good cheap food

Really great potato dumplings, delicous Indian breads, good soups. You don't feel gross after eating it like you do at so many cheap places - the food's not full of oil or mystery ingredients. Everything is...

We've been to Cafe Himalaya 10 times, and have never been disappointed. The food tastes fresh and healthy (but flavorful), and almost all of the dishes are less than $10. There are tasty options for both...

Surprisingly amazing Tibetan food

As a frequent patron of Tsampa, I was ready to find another great Tibetan restaurant. Tsampa is great on atmosphere, but rather expensive for the portions and the service leaves something to be desired. As a...
