Faarzi Himalayan Bar and Grill - Elmhurst (NY)

4 /5 Jessica Deng: I was very excited to see a Himalayan spot opening up on this side of Elmhurst because I felt there was a need for more diverse food anyways. The exterior is very eye-catching especially with all of the decorations and colors the owners put effort into. The interior is just wow, different colors - lots of greens, purple & brown. The seating and tables are very pretty and the lighting is perfect. I haven’t tried too much food here, but so far I have had the: Buff chow mein, Chatamari Set (Nepalese style folded pizza with spiced meats and vegetables), Kathmandu Ko Faarzi Jhoi Momo Cha (Nepalese style dumplings with flavorful fillings served with special tangy sauce) and Baudha Ko Faarzi Cheu Momo (steamed momo with flavorful juicy buttery fillings served with 2 different sauces). There’s a lot of interesting aromatics in the food and their momo’s are delicious! I can’t eat much spicy foods, so I chose the ones that were mild or not spicy. The bar menu had an assortment of drinks and cocktails. I’ve tried a few of the cocktails at Faarzi and they are on point. Overall, a pleasant experience if you’re looking for a different type of cuisine and atmosphere. The staff here are very nice & welcoming. The music is also very relaxing and when you’re here, you forget you’re even in NYC.

5 /5 Gurung Alisha (Alisha): Such a great place for Nepali food. The ambience is beautiful , the drinks are amazing, and everything is presented so well. Definitely worth a visit. Ishwor dai’s drinks are honestly amazing the best I’ve had in New York City and anywhere else.

3 /5 Tara Lhamo: Walking into this restaurant feels like stepping into a little corner of Nepal. The cozy décor, warm lighting, and inviting atmosphere create a sense of comfort that immediately transports you, almost like being in a Himalayan teahouse. Sadly, the food did not match the charm of the setting. The flavors were underwhelming, and for the high prices charged, the quality felt disappointing. It left me wishing the dishes carried the same authenticity and warmth as the ambiance. Overall, the restaurant is a lovely, cozy place that captures the spirit of Nepal in its atmosphere. But if you’re seeking truly satisfying food at a fair price, the experience may fall short.

5 /5 Pasang Lama: One of the best Nepali food in Queens. Chowimene is super delicious and other food as well, Momo is ok not wow but rest of the food’s are delicious. Highly recommended. Most of the people complain about less portions but for me perfect. It’s been long time visiting there for diner, taste is always same TOP Level.
