Namo Buddha Himalayan Cuisine

Love this cart. Super nice owner and the veggie chow mein is delicious. So many great carts around Woodstock but this one stands out. Highly

I am by no means a Vegan. In fact if there is an afterlife I am sure I will have many many furry faces waiting for me for my crimes of rampant meat consumption. So setting that as the starting off point I eat the vegan bowl here like two or three times a week. This girl is an absolute wok goddess. I have no idea how she manages to cook every single piece of vegetables in her stir frys without ever making a single piece go limp. I have a deep and abiding childhood hatred of cauliflower. It is marrow deep to the point of irrational dislike on my end. Yet when that vile weed appears at random in her stir fry I am not only okay with it, but thoroughly enjoy the dish. Even her rice is several steps ahead of the competition. The curried Garbonzo beans are simply perfect. The fresh diced cucumber and carrot makes the perfect crunchy contrast with the amazing rice and curried legumes. The fresh lime juice makes her dishes flirt with sweetness while still being savory. If your tired of the same old boring grease soaked fries and cheese slathered mediocre slabs of low grade meat check out this cart. The flavors are both well seasoned yet not over powering. She has a chefs touch to be sure. Plus my heart I am sure prefers the fare far more than another artery clogging mass of American failure cuisine.

This is my first time at the cart but won’t be my last. I got the chicken momos and they were great! You get a lot of food, with 2 sauces and a pallet cleaner pickled veg. I’ll be back to try the noodles next!This cart is located at heist, so lots of covered outdoor seating with a bar.

If you want “savory” food from the Himalayas, this the place. I would start and finish with their coconut soup, with chicken or shrimp, fantastic, simple dish but flavorfull. The owner is passionate and humble when it comes to her delusions cuisine!

Benu is a master! From the way she crumbles the ice into your iced chai so it doesn’t ever taste watered down to the high quality ingredients she gets the best tastes out of and the spices you thought you knew woven into flavors you didn’t know were possible! You will be satiated and find yourself craving her cooking as I do! So be prepared to visit regularly once you’ve been hooked! So. Good.
