    My go-to place every time I come to Kathmandu. Good simple flavorful food. The Buff and the Bacon Momo's are my favorite. And, they should definitely be fried. Not as healthy maybe but a definite treat. The red hot sauce is my favorite. A long burning flame with great taste. I'll keep coming back!

    Cosy tiny little clean place for quick dine in or take away, huge variety of momos, freshly made from the scratch. Thakali set is my favourite too! Staff are super friendly, polite and helpful. Recommended for typical Nepali lunch/dinner with decent price.

    Such delicious momo and in a great spot to people watch over the Bazaar! The spicy sauce is incredible and getting at least one momo plate chili style is a must. If we're ever in Kathmandu again we'll certainly be coming back!

    it used to be a good place for momos but now the taste has degraded very much and price has risen. i would say unsatisfactory on everything. taste of food is much below par. place feels kind of old and rusty. and on top of it, the price is beyond average and highly unreasonable. i am completely dissatisfied with the place and would not recommend it to anyone.

    The restaurant is located on the 1st floor. It has a balcony, but not for sitting. Staff was incredibly friendly and nice They have unique flavors not offered anywhere else in the city. I'm glad we tried it, but I do not need to go back. Overall, the steamed momo's were better than the fried ones. Food had good flavor but the still, the steamed momo's weren't as moist as other places in the city.

    Cute local place for momos. I had a vegetarian platter, and loved the taste of all momos there, however one of the sauce and red momos (paneer, I guess) was hot and spicy, I had a burning mouth for quite a long time after meal. But that's something you should be prepared and ask in advance if your meal is spicy. I can't say much of the place, as it's truely simple and straightforward- local cafeteria. However if you're not looking for fancy place and just want to eat - it's a go-to spot. Staff is friendly and helpful, open kitchen behind the guest area, so you can see your momos to be cooked. Wi-fi is available.

    A nice little place. The entrance is well hidden and I could find it only with the help of locals. The food is simple but just as good. For a tourist, the prices are more than acceptable. Gladly once again.

    Very friendly staff. Clean dining room. Good crowd of expats and tourists brought in by guides. Food was fast and tasty. Good option if you're in the Thamel area.

    Didn't get what it says on the menu. We ordered two different mixed momo platters to try eight different kinds of momo cooked in 4 different ways. What we got were not what described on the menu. Very disappointed about the substitutions without telling us beforehand. Only found out when we asked the waiter what we were eating. Some of them were repeated. Some were replaced by something we didn't order. Dishonest restaurant. Will never go back.

    A very rustic and warming restaurant, serving the best and most delicious traditional Nepali momo or mo:mo! Vegetarian, non-vegetarian and sweet momos await. Staff is so friendly, smiling and responsive. Prices below average. Cards accepted.

    Best momos and Paneer Masla I have ever had in my life. Let me tell you, I watched the cooks make the food from scratch right in front of my eyes. All of the food. The momos were perfect. My God, the paneer tikka was the most amazing paneer I’ve ever had, and I have traveled a lot. The quality of the paneer was so fresh and perfectly seasoned and sautéed; the sauce was to die for; in fact, I would take a bath in it if I could and marry the sauce. Excellent vegetarian options. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind. The bathroom was clean. The restaurant was cozy and clean. Do yourself a favor and come here; search no more.

    Ordered mushroom momos and found 1 small piece of mushroom in it, when asked why is it like this he said it's just only for name and thats all the mushrooms you get. Beware scam, let me know if you guys find any mushroom in the photos

    Came here for lunch every day I was in Kathmandu and loved it! The momos are delicious and can be done a few different ways (fried, chilli, boiled). Definitely recommend the fried (kothey) mushroom momos

  • 4/5 Rupa B. 1 year ago on Google
    found in the popular tourist destination, Thamel, this restaurant offers a unique style of momos. While the food was amazing and so was the hospitality, be prepared to wait quite some time for the food. I’m not sure whether I got there on a day where they were short staffed in the kitchen but the wait was longer than what I’d experienced in any other restaurants in Nepal

    One of my iterinary was to dry different Local MOMO Restaurant in town. Location: is along Thamel Street only opposite of Baskin Robbins.The signage was visible and clear.But there is one difficulty for me to get inside the restaurant,no direction where was the stairs located or how to go up.Even local neighboring shops down the building didn't know where is the way going up. Food: was great,I like the texture of MOMO.And it's my first time to try the Garlic and cheese momo.Their chutney sauce is amazing,not too spicy for me. Cleanliness:Good enough. Service: isn't that wow for me.But aslong I saw server smiling. Serving Size: quantity was great you can choose five or ten pieces. Cost:Value for money is good enough. Overall experienced:Satisfied customer

    Located upstairs from small side street and overlooks busy road opposite Baskin Robbins. Garlic and cheese momos and masala chai are to die for! Dahl curry was a bit bland. A bit pricey for portion sizes provided but services was friendly and premises were clean. Cash only.

    Service is great and friendly. This restaurant pays great attention on cleanliness and sanitization. Table, spoon and folks are decently clean, consudering they do offer deep fry dishes in house, but nothung greasy or sticky.

  • 5/5 lacike w. 5 months ago on Google
    Omg! What was that! My favorite restaurant already more than one year. Open kitchen, you can see how they make a food, clean space and welcoming service. This family restaurant is really one of the best here in Thamel. Madam Urmila always welcome guests and her husband works in kitchen. The food is always delicious, hot and nice served. Today I took egg curry and garden salad. But please try her tasty MOMO, even sweet one they have. But I can not break my diet. I recommend! Absolutely ❤️!

  • 5/5 Nathan S. 4 months ago on Google
    Best momos I had in Kathmandu. Definitely worth the visit. If you go early shortly after they open you can skip the big line that builds up out the door as the day goes. You can watch them make the momos too! I got the platter which comes with some of each type

    Very nice place in the middle of a busy crossing in Kathmandu. Food was great -( You need to try the mixed momos) Service was also great :) 5*

  • 5/5 Aurélie B. 11 months ago on Google
    Wonderful momos in the heart of Thamel. Tried veggy, non veggy and sweet momos and all of them are delicious. Staff is really nice. Be aware that service is very slow as momos are prepared upon request and not before (1h30 for 3 plates of momos).

  • 4/5 Shivani S. 1 year ago on Google
    Located on 1st floor, access by small alley. Weird smoke in air inside which irritated my nose and throat. We ordered MeatLover special platter. Service took 30min for our order to be served. Pork chilly momos and chicken momos were delicious.

  • 5/5 Liubov T. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious and very affordable momo. Great, comfortable and easy accessible location. And separate huge thanks for the staff of the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Patrick 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice experience at Thamel Momo Hut today. The location of the restaurant is conveniently on the second floor, which has a nice view of the lower intersection of the street to people watch. I ended up ordering Mushroom momo and veg momo. Both were kothey fried to perfection. They were very delicious and worth to wait. Definitely check out the menu as they have many unique options you will not find in Thamel IE. Banana momo, chocolate momo, apple momo, ostich momo etc. Service is professional and prompt while you wait for your order. Momo's always take time in Nepal but worth the wait. Grab a drink while you wait

    The restaurant was clean with a nice view of the street. The steamed garlic and palak momos were better than the fried momos in the platter. Our server was really sweet and polite but the service was a bit slow. Their dips were delicious. They accept only cash and Indian currency is acceptable. The restaurant has wifi as well but it was flaky.

    My husband had the mo mo platter and he said it was tasty, especially the Garlic Cheese mo mos. I ordered the dhal. It was so so. Stick to the mo mos when you come here, they are probably the best dishes is this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Yew Wai K. 4 years ago on Google
    Located in the main area of Thames, it’s hard to miss. Came here for Momos but the quality isn’t too great, there are better places elsewhere. The skin texture of the momos are too thick. We also order a platter with rice, that was okay.
