    I LOVE THESE DUMPLINGS! The food is delicious! We got one of everything to get a full experience and understand the food. Very impressed and the staff was knowledgeable, friendly and timely. I would definitely recommend, especially for a date night or fellow dumpling connoisseur! 🥟😍

    Tasty dumplings with well seasoned meat; pan fried is the way to go. Their curries are also quite tasty with large filling portions to boot.

    This is the first Nepalese restaurant in Detroit. For a Nepali living in Detroit, i am very happy about their opening. I met with the humble owners, Chef Lama who is Nepali and Louisa. The momo tastes like the ones in Nepal. I am so happy that they open and for anyone who have not been there, GO! You will be hooked.

    This is inside the detroit shipping company so it can get crowded especially on a busy evening which means finding a spot to sit may be difficult. However, these are ne of the best momos served in metro detroit.Their side sauces are tasty too...Would recommend to also try the french fries chat.

    I have tried the Steamed dumplings/momos from “Momo Cha” which I found the most tasty momo I have had so far in Michigan. I would highly recommend this place if you are a foodie and you love momos(dumplings).

    We have been regular customers at Shipping Co. since its inception. Momos were the main reason. Previously, Momo Cha’s MOMOs compared very well with the ones in India (Himachal, Darjeeling, Kalimpong & Assam). This time, the chicken filling was noticeably subpar. Apparently, they are not made on site any more but at a centralized location. Hopefully they will bring quality preparatory process back to this location. This was very disappointing.

    Awesome Momos! Their vegetarian dumplings are a must try.

    Calling Momos dumplings isn’t wrong but it ain’t right. In my opinion momos have a chewier outside and usual more filling that your average dumpling. The sauces they offer really take it up a notch. Try them if you haven’t.

    5 stars for the dumplings. 1 star for the Chicken Tikka Masala. the dumplings were some of the best I've ever had. So flavorful! The Tikka Masala was the worst I've ever had. It tasted flavorless, like it was only tomato sauce and some cream... none of the garam masala or other spices.

    Best authentic momos one can find in Detroit!! Their pan fried and deep fried momos are my all time favorite. They give different dips for the momos which are mouthwatering. I would recommend getting green and red chutneys. This is the place if you are a foodie and you love momos(dumplings). Also don’t miss out their veg fried rice. Located inside Detroit Shipping Company. You can either take to go or just grab a table and enjoy your momos with live music and a drink from Nextdoor bar.

    I've backpacked around Nepal for everyone months and this place brought back all the feels. It's a great mix of authentic and fusion Proportions are big, a lot of different sauces, but the flavour could be bolder.

    Good dumplings. The chicken they use in the curry is consistently a mess. A chewy quartered chickenbreast. Their foods otherwise are good, but the cooks must be vegetarians

    We ordered fries chat and momos. Chicken momos was served with green and white chutney. Momos was good in taste but chutney was not to the expectations. Veggie momos was also not so good. We also ordered panned and fried momos but stemmed one was best. And I forgot to mention, fries chat was something different and tasty. Don’t expect the regular red hot chutney we get with momos at other restaurants .The place was crowded and the blowers keep blowing air over the head which was little uncomfortable.

    Awesome Momos. You will not find any place with better momos than this. Hope they keep the taste for long time to come :) I will recommend Chicken Momos. Either steamed or deep fried. they are awesome. Also the french fry chat was awesome. Ambiance is great because this place is more like a food court and not a stand alone restaurant. There are many other great options ti eat as well. For the parking, there is a paid $10 parking lot right next to it. You can find parking on the street but the paid lot seemed much safer to us.

    Okay wow this is my absolute favorite spot for takeout right now. These folks know what they’re doing. Would be amazing if they got their own storefront!! Wishing these lovely people nothing but the best. Food is perfect *chefs kiss*
