More Than a Meal – A Cultural Experience

Welcome to LakesideNYC, where the serene beauty of Pokhara meets the vibrant heart of Queens, NYC.

Named after the enchanting lakeside city of Nepal, our restaurant is a tribute to the flavors, warmth, and nostalgia of home for the Nepali diaspora.

At LakesideNYC, we bring you an authentic taste of Pokhara’s culinary heritage—from steaming plates of momos and fragrant thakali thali to the rich spices of newari delicacies. Every dish is crafted with love, using traditional recipes and fresh ingredients, transporting you back to the cozy eateries by Phewa Lake.

More than just a restaurant, LakesideNYC is a gathering place for the community—a spot where memories are shared, laughter flows, and the taste of Nepal feels just like home. Whether you’re craving a comforting bowl of dal bhat or seeking the familiar aromas of sel roti and chhyaang, we invite you to dine with us and relive the Pokhara experience, right here in Queens.

What Our Customers Say

First let me start with service, paras was amazing along with his cousin. They constantly made sure we were having good time. And food was just great with perfect texture and freshness. Almost everything we’ve ordered was delicious. I gotta say price was reasonable as well compared to other places where you do get robbed instantly. They have no service charges or any hidden BS added with your bill, plus you get 10% discount if you pay Cash!

This is our third time there and it never disappoints. So many wonderful dishes and hard to pick a favorite. We especially enjoy their wings with the special chili, and save that sauce for the dumplings after. So great! What a gem
