Nepali Momo Kitchen

Just had a delightful dinner tonight at Nepali momo kitchen and we enjoyed almost every dish. Service was excellent and the ambience really felt like I was transported back to Nepal. This is what we had : Jhol momo : The reason we came here was for the Jhol momo and it did not disappoint.The soup had the perfect consistency and the flavor was delicious. Chiya : Nepali tea perfection ! Chowmein : For some reason it felt like it was missing something, we asked for their homemade chilli oil and it did help but that was the only dish that was kind of mid( constructive criticism) Steamed momo : Yum ! Tandoori momo : Second fav dish here. Will return for the Jhol momo and tea !!!

very simple establishment with simple menu. Plenty of momos to select from steamed to pan fried. From sour to sweet and spicy. They even have soup dumplings as well.Here's what we got:Fried rice - good flavor and since we opt for spicy, they really delivered it to us!Ck Jimboo Le Janeko Momo: i like the chewiness of the skin. I think they can a bit more filling and the server did mention this one is going to be sweet and sour, but i think it's too sour for my likingNepali tea: tasted like those prepackage milk tea and all they need to do is add hot water. Not bad, but it's nothing special.7.1/10

homey spot with lovely staff!this place is completely dedicated to momos! there were a lot of momo options to choose from, and my friend and i got the chicken tika momos and the chicken tandoori momos which were both delicious! both were so flavorful and the tandoori momos had the perfect amount of spice. staff was super friendly and checked in on us multiple times. there was only one other table, and the food came out pretty quickly. i would definitely like to come back to try some of the other momo options!

Stopped in to try some of their momo selections for a unique snack. Similar to dumplings but had a unique twist, and different flavors. Johl sauce was good spice and tasty. The Himalayan chili spice was okay, seemed to be just a sweet and spicy sauce. Meat filling were also okay. The johl sauce was the memorable part of the meal. Interior has a few 2 and 4 top tables. Menu prices are a bit high comparatively to dumpling or dim sum spots, but momos are a unique twist for something different and could be worth a try. Thanks

I can't believe we have a Nepali/Himalayan place dedicated to Momos in the city. There are very few really good Indian/Desi places in Philly so I am very thankful to the owners. We got the Chicken Tandoori Momos and Goat Jhol Momos and both were mouth watering. These are exactly like the ones we had on our Nepal trip a few years back so I can definitely attest to the authenticity of this place. The broth in the Jhol momo (soup dumplings) was so satisfying! Both the goat and the chicken were cooked so well and packed with flavors. The Chai (called Chya in Nepali) was too good and very similar to what I am used to drinking back home in India. I am a self proclaimed chai connoisseur - not the American pseudo chai with star anise and cinnamon but actual Indian chai and I have never had good chai in Philly. Nope, not even at all the amazing Indian places in Philly like Amma's (they have great Madras coffee though), Thanal, Veda, Masala Kitchen Kati Rolls or any other place that claims to serve "chai" on their menu. The place is clean and the servers are very polite and welcoming. I have already added this place to my collection of "Philly favs" and definitely coming back here to try everything they have on the menu!

Authentic momo experience. We were a big group of 8 friends. Ordered several items. Liked jhol( soupy dish with momos), red fried rice, noodles, jimboo le janeko momos, himalayalan chilli chicken momo( tasted like chilli chicken) and tandoori chicken momosGood service, nice ambience in a cozy environment

Tasty Nepalese dumplings. We visited Nepali Momo Kitchen early on a Saturday night, and it was about half full. There are a surprisingly number of tables in the small restaurant, but I didn't feel too crowded. Nepali flute music played during our visit, and there were arrangements of dried purple and white flowers on each dark wood table. We tried the cheese jimboo le janeko momo, the chicken Himalayan chilly momo, and the cheese tandoori momo. The cheese jimboo le janeko momo was our favorite with a delicious sauce and great blend of flavors. The other two momos were tasty, but not so exceptional that I would order them again. Overall, I had a lovely time at Nepali Momo Kitchen and would recommend them for Nepali dumplings in Philly.

Nice cute small place. It is a very family run business and has limited indoor seating with no outdoor dine-in.The menu is limited and serving popular Nepali Momos. They have veg, chicken and shrimp types of momos. They have noodles and fried rice as well. We ordered Himalayan spicy chicken momo, jhol chicken momo and Nepali noodles. Himalayan chicken momos were very delicious and flavorful, that was the best. Jhol momos are like soup dumplings, the only think is they had gone cold in weather and we did not reheat them. But taste was on the mark. Nepali noodles were delicious too, slightly oily than we would like but very typical to Indo-Chinese we get in India. The staff was friendly and the hostess was very polite and considerate. I saw the place was full and a lot of orders for take out. So expect some time for your order to arrive, but service is pretty fast.Overall, I recommend this place.

I visited this spot with some friends who only eat halal meat. I'm glad we found a place that adds more diversity to the halal options in Philly. They don't formally take reservations, but we called an hour in advance to let them know we had a group of 7 coming in. This interior is pretty small; I'd say we took up a third of the restaurant space. The menu almost entirely contains many momo varieties. It can be a bit overwhelming, but the employees were helpful in answering our questions. We decided to order a bunch of different momo varieties with one of the two noodle dishes to share as a table. I appreciate that the food is served as ready, but some of it took quite a long time to come out. Each dish consistently had great quality, but certain ones stood out over the others. My favorite varieties were the Chicken Tikka, Goat Tikka, and Chicken Tandoori Momos. The Nepali Himalayan Noodle was fresh but bland and lacked any distinct flavor. The owner also brought out some refreshing Mango Lassi and Lychee Milk samples at the end of our visit.I liked my experience here overall. The menu has a lot to offer within the niche of what the restaurant serves. There isn't any spot that's quite comparable, so I'd recommend anyone try this spot whether they target halal options or not.

Food and service was amazing. I would give 4.5/5. All the dishes that we tried were great. The highlight dishes were Jhol and Tandoori Momos. The ambiance of the place was laid back though the place has only limited seating (probably just 20 or so). The staff were really nice and cheerful. It is a perfect place for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.Here are all the dishes that we ordered:Chicken Tandoori Momos (5/5)Chicken Fried Momos (4/5)Shrimp Jhol Momos (5/5)Veg Steamed Momos (4/5)Veg Jhol Momos (5/5)Veg Chili Momos (3.5/5) - the sauce was bit too sweet for us.Veg Tandoori Momos (5/5)Veg Himalayan Noodles (4/5) Nepali chai (5/5)
