Forest Hills Nepalese Restaurant With Momos and a Snack Platter

Stellar Pokhara is a Forest Hills Nepalese restaurant one flight up at 70-17 Austin Street, cooking with a lighter, more delicate spice profile than typical Indian food. The signature order is the Platter, a textural mix of crunchy toasted rice, a soft lentil pancake, spicy beef and pickled radish.

Among the starters, Bhuttan Goat brings a chewy, spiced bite, and the chilli beef momos are stir-fried with tomatoes, red peppers and onions. Curries round out the menu. The kitchen easily accommodates vegetarians and vegans, and frozen dumplings are sold to take home for a momo night in your own kitchen.

Doors open at half past eleven in the morning every day except Tuesday, closing at 10 PM, or half past ten on Friday and Saturday. Even a medium spice level carries a notable kick, worth remembering when ordering for the table.
