Seriously disgusting man, can u learn to cook the chicken right ? and not scam people. so bad had to throw the food, see the photo ur chicken cant be even chewed . such scams. I waited to pick up the order and so disgusting. waste of time plus money. horrible. seriously learn to cook and don’t scam , i even saw him serving a naan fallen on the desk and picked up and served to a customer. Should have learnt my lesson there. Its a TO GO order, See the togo box, this owner replies on Yelp to complain right away. like u dont take a TOGO order and check there and see what is served.. ( Thanks for the lesson will check next time when I order from somewhere else) . Appreciate the lesson . Schezwan Chicken Chow Mein

Food marked “gluten free” on the menu arrived crispy and made me extremely sick (even after only eating a few bites). Wait staff was not knowledgeable about the ingredients. If you have any dietary restrictions, avoid this restaurant.

Great Indo Chinese Nepalese food - Nice amount of spice & great taste profile - Tons of vegetarian options to choose from which is always great. Recommend getting the Chow Mein Noodles and Paneer Gorkhali Chilli if you're vegetarian.

I have been visiting them for a year. It's my go-to spot for Momo's in the San Francisco area. If you like Indian/ Nepali food this is your spot. They have indoor & outdoor seating. Evenings get busy as I checked a few times there was wait time. They are open till 12 am during weekends

First time having Indochinese food which looks a lot like Indian food. Flavors were bold and delicious. I still ended up putting hot sauce on everything. Portions were a bit on the smaller side but will definitely return if I'm back in the area.

An unassuming place along the main stretch in San Mateo with a ton of restaurants, we walked in because Indo Chinese food sounded interesting. The service is minimal but not unfriendly so don't expect too much in that aspect. The menu is pretty good with explanations so you don't need to sit there and Google every single item if you're as unfamiliar with Nepalese food as I am. I was most excited to try the momos but we ordered a bunch of things to share! Mixed Bhuteko Bhat: Nepali fried rice with egg, vegetable and chicken. This was so good!!! There was wok hei, that fragrance you get in stir fried items that has had enough heat applied. I was stunned that I had to go to a Nepalese place to get that but it was so good. The chicken wasn't too dry, and I have no complaints about the frozen vegetables used in this. We polished off the whole plate. Lamb Choila: this is like lamb skewers that are then stir fried in a sauce, then served with crispy naan crumbs and crunchy soybeans. The lamb was pretty gamey so I wasn't a huge fan but the use of texture in the dish was very interesting. Chicken Momos: these were delicious and stuffed full of meat! The chicken filling was very well spiced and seasoned and went great with the two sauces they provided (one was chilli and one was a cumin tasting sauce). The dumplings were also very juicy and came very hot. Gobi Manchurian: I love this usually, but this had a goopier sauce than I would normally like and the batter was very thick. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, nicely sour, sweet and a tiny bit spicy. The cauliflower was nice and soft but I wish the batter was crisper. My favorite items were the bhuteko bhat and momos, I'd return just for those two items. They were doing a brisk takeout business and l can see why!

I’ve gotten takeout here once before and finally got a chance to dine in. The food definitely tastes a lot better fresh. The decor and service both feel more like a mom and pop shop. We got the aloo gobi, chili chicken, butter paneer curry, chicken biryani and garlic naan. The garlic naan was one of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area, it was crispy and fluffy. The chicken biryani was good but I felt like they didn’t cut the chicken properly - I bit into a few really small bone pieces which kinda ruined the experience. I really enjoyed the butter paneer curry, which was very well flavoured. Aloo gobi was okay but it felt like the portion was small for the price and they did not put much cauliflower in it. The chili chicken was good, better than the one at Samichka but nothing to write home about. Definitely will come back to try some other dishes.

A MUST TRY for true Nepali experience! Amazing food, good humble hosts with true representation of Nepali Hospitality. After a long time I got to experience a taste of home away from home. If you are itching to experience true Nepali food, this is the place to be hands down! I will definitely be eating here again! A MUST TRY

Urban Momos in San Mateo is a hidden gem of a restaurant that delivers an authentic taste of Nepali cuisine. Despite its size, this place packs a flavorful punch. During my visit, I ordered a trio of dishes – momos, chowmein, and bhuteko bhaat (fried rice). The momo sauce was a revelation; it had a tangy twist, likely from the addition of "lapsi," a sour Nepali fruit. The Szechuan flavor in their sauce was a delightful surprise, elevating the taste to another level. The staff at Urban Momos are not only friendly but also impressively quick, ensuring a smooth dining experience. However, parking in the bustling area of San Mateo can be a bit challenging, so plan accordingly. Don't leave without trying their "Chiya" Nepali tea, which adds a perfect ending to your meal. It's important to note that their food leans towards the spicier side, so if you have a low tolerance for heat, don't hesitate to let them know when ordering. Overall, Urban Momos is a place I would gladly return to when in town. The wonderful flavors, friendly staff, and unique Nepali offerings make it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic culinary adventure.

Really underrated. Went there on a Friday night and there was just one other group with us outside. The food is some of the best I've had in the bay. Really like their butter chicken with garlic naan and Gobi Manchurian. Very nice responsive waiters, and excellent atmosphere due to the street lighting and guitarist from the restaurant next door.

A top 3 restaurant in San Mateo! We've been coming here since they opened several years ago and they deliver excellent food every time! Recommend you get: 1) Chicken momo, steamed: BEST dumplings ever!!! 2) vegan lentil soup : BEST soup ever. The spice blend is perfect 3) chili chicken or vegetarian cauliflower. The chicken is hotter but the cauliflower has more spices. You won't be disappointed!

10/10 the best Nepalese food around. Amazing freshly made food, top notch service. One of the chefs has climbed Everest 7 times! We recently ordered takeout and they remembered our names from our order and gave us free fried rice! Come on, what more could you ask for!

Loved it! Chicken Chilli Momo and Paneer Jhol Momo were my favorites. Gobi Manchurian comes with a chow mein. Could add more spice to Chow Mein.

The food is good in general. The must try are vegan momos. The chicken chilly was tender. They do have good paneer chilly momos.

My boyfriend and I were in the market for a quick afternoon snack while in San Mateo, and we couldn’t be more pleased with what we ordered from Urban Momo! The lamb tikka kebab was perfect! I’m usually not a big fan of lamb for fear of gaminess, but this had a lovely flavor profile. You could tell it was lamb, but it wasn’t overpowering. The spices really allowed the savoriness of the meat to shine through. I loved mixing the chutney with their spicy sauce. Also, despite having a nice, slightly crispy exterior, the kebab meat was still juicy 🤤 Speaking of sauces though - I was a big fan of mixing the mild and spicy sauces that were for the momos. The momo skin was neither too thick nor too thin. It had a nice bouncy texture, and I had fun plating my first chicken momo with the sauces, haha. Next time I plan to try the veggie momos and their curry fries! Their hours are quite impressive (11 am-9:30 pm) soooo I think I know where to go after happy hour for some drunchies!

Good food especially the paneer momos. The restaurant is small but overall it was good.

YUM!! What a great meal, from the fresh veggies in the momo (dumplings) to the sweetly creamy lychee paneer curry, to the mega-garlicky fries was superb. Have to add that the biryani was quite enjoyably spicy but too much for my child (but it came with yogurt so she was saved, lol). So many things to try on the menu, can't wait to return!!

Chicken momo were fantastic and had a much different taste that I'm used to but in a very good way. Garlic naan was kinda dry and rubbery tho, plus not very garlicky. Also very thankful they're open really late so you can get a meal after a late night movie!

Finally found a no frills restaurant in San Mateo. Absolutely delicious food! We got the chicken manchurian. It was so tender and flavorful. We also got the aloo gobi and it was the best I have eaten. I like how the cauliflower wasn't mushy and it was packed with flavor. The garlic naan was fluffy and complemented the dishes perfectly. Will be coming back for more.

There are a lot of vegetarian options available. We tried chill paneer momo, shezwan chowmein, and Gobi manchurian bhat bowl. The soda Pani is a must try! The chili panner momo was okay, the taste is kind of bland and momo itself is chewy. The gobi Manchurian bhat was probably the best off the 3. Again rice is kind of bland, but Manchurian is good. The chowmein was the worst of the 3, it did not taste anything like chowmein nor had any schezwan flavors. But the staff is very kind and friendly!

Pictured are: paneer momo steamed, jhol vegan momo, and chili paneer chow bowl. All are very delicious + flavorful and you get a lot of food for the price! Service is also fast.

Ordered chili paneer bowl, momos, paneer curry and dal tadka. Food was good tasting but little on the spicier side so need to inform them before hand if spice is an issue. Will definitely go again. The dishes especially starters have nice indo chinese flavor to it.

Delicious food and excellent service. My favorite dish is the Lamb Vindaloo. Sometimes it's spicy sometimes it's not, I need to remember to ask for it spicy. They have a comfortable outside deck area, it's a great spot to enjoy these beautiful autumn afternoons.

Their Gobi Manchurian and veg noodles would take you back to the street food in India. Loved it.
