Jackson Heights Nepali Restaurant for Thalis and Jhol Momo

Laliguras Restaurant is a modest Jackson Heights Nepali restaurant on 76th Street, cooking comforting home-style plates with rich spices. Order the chicken choila thali first, a platter that arrives with dhal, vegetable curry, papad, saag and pickles around the main event.

The sukuti thali brings tender meat, and the goat with potatoes leaves the potatoes soaked in spice. Dhindo buckwheat and bowls of jhol momo widen the choices beyond the platters, giving a table of friends plenty to pass around. Portion sizes are satisfying across the menu. Find it at 37-63 76th St, where the small room holds a 4.2 average across 730 reviews.

Owner Nima Di runs the small dining room, and every plate arrives prepared with obvious care. The kitchen is open daily from 11 AM to 11 PM, which makes a late lunch and a late dinner equally easy for anyone craving Nepali home cooking in Queens.
