What About Biryani — Where to Look Near Woodside

 Himalayan/Nepali momos than biryani — so truly standout biryani options may lie just outside strict “Woodside” boundaries. A few places in nearby Jackson Heights or Queens serve good biryani.

There are Indian restaurants near Woodside/ Jackson Heights offering biryani in their menu. One such broader‑Queens pick is Dera Restaurant — though Best momo and biryani in Woodside technically 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 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.”
