NYC--Queens--Jackson Heights: Phayul Restaurant; restaurant review

Phayul Restaurant  

37-65 74th St., 2nd floor, (718) 424-1869. L-D daily; $. No reservations.

 Located up a steep stairwell, past a beauty shop that does “Himalayan Eyebrow Threading,” this tiny Tibetan restaurant would be easily missed if you weren’t aware it is there. There isn’t usually a wait for one of the few tables at Phayul Restaurant, and I like that they are by windows. I was brought here by someone who raved about the momos, which are good and made even better with the addition of the house-made hot sauce available on the table, but it turns out that I thought the noodles were the prize dish. I also liked the spicy fried potatoes and the mango lassi, though Tibetan butter tea was also an option. We ordered all vegetarian, but many other meat-oriented dishes are also available.
