Thakali Kitchen: The Authentic Nepali Cuisine

“Food is a central activity of mankind and one of the single most significant trademarks of a culture” ~ Mark Kurlansky

When you think about the authentic Nepali food with typical Nepali taste, one place you certainly should not miss in your New York Visit is the Thakali Kitchen in Jackson Height, NY.

It is very difficult to find the place that serve typical Nepali taste in USA. Most of them are hybrid of Indian and some other south Asian/Asian flavor. Moreover some Nepali restaurant plays Hindi songs instead of Nepali songs. People visit in Nepali restaurant to have Nepali cultural experience besides Nepali food. I felt so blessed that Thakali kitchen offers typical Nepali dishes like; Samay bajee, Bhutan, choyala etc. It’s always pleasing to experiment with different varieties of Nepali cuisines in foreign land.
