Kasthamandap Restaurant & Bar

Nepalese restaurants bring a quiet corner of the Himalayas to the city’s dining scene. Kasthamandap Restaurant & Bar sits along Roosevelt Avenue in Woodside, where the neighborhood’s blend of cultures spills onto the sidewalk. The address—65-14 Roosevelt Ave, Woodside, NY 11377—places it in a stretch known for its quick bites and late-night energy, though this spot leans into something slower: local specialties served with a side of live music or a game on the screen.

Weekday lunches draw solo diners looking for a break from the usual, while evenings shift toward groups sharing plates and cocktails. The menu doesn’t shy away from tradition, but the pace stays fast enough for those who need to eat and run. Alcohol is on offer, and the bar’s reputation for drinks keeps the stools occupied even when the kitchen isn’t the main draw. Ownership here reflects the community’s layers—Asian, veteran, and women-led—adding another thread to the neighborhood’s fabric.

Call (347) 612-4563 to check if the band’s playing or if the sports crowd has taken over. For directions, the map will drop you right at the door. Woodside’s streets don’t slow down, but this place gives you a reason to pause.
