One such broader‑Queens pick is Dera Restaurant — thoughtechnically not in Woodside — which is listed among favorites for “best biryani in Queens.”
So if you come to Woodside mainly for momos but are willing to Best momo and biryani in Woodside travel a bit, you could combine a momo outing with a biryani dinner nearby.
Woodside’s strength lies in its Himalayan / Nepali / Tibetan‑influenced food culture — momos in many delicious variants. Among the options, Momo Crave and Woodside Cafe stand out as the two best bets for quality, taste, and variety.
A longtime local favorite for Nepalese / Newari dishes. Their momos — whether kothe momos or “red‑hot chili momos” — get consistent praise for being rich, savory, and satisfying.
Perfect if you like a relaxed restaurant environment (sometimes with live music), and if you want your dinner to feel like more than just a snack.
I checked around — there are far fewer mentions of biryani spots inside Woodside compared to Himalayan / Nepali momo places. Woodside is famously part of a culturally diverse enclave (with many Filipino restaurants, etc.) rather than being a “biryani hotspot.”
