More momo's more momo's! Please! We were craving nepalese food and wanted some momo's so decided to come to Makalu. We noticed the new decor upgrades as soon as we walked in which was a nice surprise. The waitress was very nice and quickly brought us water and the menu. After deciding on which momos to order we scanned through the menu and decided on their sauteed chicken dish and a yellow lentil dish. When the food came out, it was nice and hot. The garlic naan was nice and fluffy and good. The chicken was very different and surprisingly delicious! It had a very distinctive flavor and we couldn't figure out the spice which was exciting. The lentil dish was also very good. The momos were also very good and we really liked the dipping sauce they came with. I wish we had ordered more but we had plenty of food and we were stuffed by the end of our meal. We couldn't resist and decided to get mango lassis to go and they were already in to-go cups! Perfect!

Came in around 830pm and it was pretty empty but this spot is decent! Their momos are delicious and full of flavor. The lamb briyani was a bit on the bland side and there wasn't much lamb in it. The mango lassi was also pretty yummy! Service wise they didn't seem to care much but I guess it was also because we were the only dine ins . There's no music and so it was pretty quiet. The table and seats we were at for some reason you can feel vibrations but it wasn't too bothersome.

My husband and I got takeout last night -- so delicious! We started with the Kothey Momo ... the best momos I've had to date. We also got Bhindi and Kadhai Paneer, both of which came with basmati rice. Finished off with a delicious Naan. I will definitely be going back here again soon!

Brand new Nepali restaurant right on mass Ave! If you want some good Nepali momos or Dishes this is your place ! It was really all delicious and the serving sizes were great - we we're table of 3 and we had left overs. We ate in and service was great! It's a very quiet ambiance - no music but it's great for intimate conversations!

Makalu is decidedly mediocre, it will serve if you crave Nepalese, but otherwise meh. On a 10 point scale, steamed momos were 7, a bit salty, but I liked spicy kick to the filling."Lentil" soup was a 6. It did not have visible lentils, mostly tomato and rice, but otherwise was not bad.Thukpa was 4. It had a lot of promise as comfort food, a thick noodle and protein soup, but constituent diced roasted chicken cubes were dry beyond embarrassment, not even chewable. After letting it sit in fridge overnight they absorbed a tiny bit of moisture and became at least edible. The noodles and broth were very nice, but this dry chicken really killed it.Naan was 6/10, not stale, not freshly baked either.

This restaurant opened in the space where Sabzi used to be. It still looks very similar to when it was Sabzi, but the cuisine is quite different! We ordered takeout here online when they first opened and they did not have one of the items we wanted so they called and suggested a substitution. The momo's were good (who doesn't love a momo?!), and the dipping sauce was yummy and plentiful. The other dishes were inspired and beautifully plated even in our takeout containers. We will definitely be eating here again. I hope to eat in at some point. The interior looks very cozy and will be a great place to eat dishes with warming spices in the dead of winter.

Exceptionally yummy food. What is it about Nepali flavors that make them so irresistible? The biryani was the most flavorful rice we've ever eaten. And I could live on those momos.Friendly staff. There were a few small problems (a blinking light fixture, a missing dessert) and the manager was gracious and generous in taking care of our needs. We'll be back!

Had amazing lunch with delicious, freshly prepared food. Recommend trying momos and samosas as appetizers.

Just had our first take away. Much improved from the previous Makalu. Greatly expanded menu. My wife likes Indian tastes but not the heat. They accommodated that well with steamed momos and Saag. My chicken Chettinad had just the right level of spice. Looking forward to trying their non-traditional pizzas.
