    Was really disappointing... Wouldn't recommend Momo has a very weird taste. And not in a nice way.... Not for me. Sauce was very watery too. You know when cold cream (that you put on your face) mistakenly gets in your mouth and you taste the cold cream.... The Momo somehow tasted similar to that. Try somewhere else if you want authentic momo

    Even though the place was congested Momo was worth waiting. I am love with Cheese veg Momo. Price was affordable. They recently introduce breast chicken Momo which was Okay for me but you guys should give a try. Momo was bit over cooked but my overall experience was TASTY 😋

    I wanted try why this Joint feel the hyped is all about. Well, it is far from being great. Here is it, MSG contain is much higher than expected, size for the price is ok, doughy, and not juicy, sauce was little bit stale cud be due to the hot weather, ambience: disorganized make shift sit anywhere which is quite interesting. But it is below par for cleanliness on everything from plates to table. I would still give it a try but different location.

    It was worth the hype and visit! This restaurant is small and self-service. Their momos are something to buy for. It was really delicious! We order chicken breast momos. The sauce was awesomely delicious!

    They have recently relocated to a different location nearby next to Yo Boba. The place is bigger now as they have more space for customers on the first floor. Momos are big and very tasty. The only thing i didn't like was that we had to get jhol, achaar and cutlery ourselves from the counter. It would be easier if every table had spoons and bottles of jhol without having to get up to get them.

    The typical local shop turned into a fancy outlet to keep up with the trend and hype of basantapur. Small and congested and at times may be very busy Famous for its momos. The interior is pretty good and cute sitting arrangement. Though local, asthetized to meet it's hype and popularity, you may find the momos a bit expensive.

    Mo:mo was okay nothing special about it. I’ve tasted far better and cheaper buff jhol mo:mo in many corner mo:mo stores in Ktm valley. Bit on the pricey side and mostly hype. Also customer service was abysmal. I asked a simple question to a cook inside the kitchen and he was so rude. It was just a simple question. I treat you like a human and in return I expect you to treat other as human as well. Never visiting this place again. Stay far away! P.S their spoons are nasty as well. Please support people/local business who at least appreciative of your business.

    Great food. Buff as well as chicken momo, chhoila and keema anda were tasty.

  • 5/5 M B. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a legendary place. I come almost everyday - people are so nice, the music is always light and happy, a sense of community sharing a table over the yummiest, juiciest momos with all that chilli. More powers to the owners who seem to be doing a really good job making such an important business.

  • 5/5 R K. 9 months ago on Google
    A small place with limited seating. Tried buff momos, chicken breast momos and buff choila (like beef dry masala). Tasted good with the flavorful sauce. The chilly powder is very strong indeed as they warn.

  • 2/5 Mk Nomad t. 9 months ago on Google
    2 🌟 - ticktok hyped momo place for me. While strolling through hanumna dhoka, i came across the momo shop. Ordered both chicken and buff momo - i m afraid for me, it was super basic (sorry). Also people who accompanied me uad sinilar openion. Yes, the place is right at the door of the Hanuman dhoka entrance and has a great customer vivbe. Yet, it failed to impress on food. This was the first ticktok famous place i troed and was underwhelmed!

    Ordered buff momo, chicken breast momo and buff choila. Small restaurant but very busy all the time. Chewy and juicy momo. Choila is a little bit spicy and salty, good for beer.

  • 5/5 Pragyakar J. 6 months ago on Google
    The veg cheese momo is pretty good and the service is quick. The veg meat choila will surprise you.

  • 5/5 Yvonne Y. 11 months ago on Google
    Tasty momos and love the tangy sauce. Had it after EBC trek, appetite was still queasy but the momo, sauce and extra chilli didn’t give me any problems. Will pop back again if ever in the area!

    If you're looking for some of the best momos in Kathmandu, then you need to head over to Narayan Dai Ko Famous Momo. Located in the busy street of Chabahil, this small momo stall has earned a reputation as one of the city's most popular spots for this Nepali specialty. The momos at Narayan Dai Ko Famous Momo are made fresh to order, with a variety of fillings to choose from, including chicken, vegetable, and buffalo. The dumplings themselves are perfectly steamed and have just the right amount of chewiness. The fillings are well-seasoned and bursting with flavor, making each bite a delicious experience. But what really sets Narayan Dai Ko Famous Momo apart is their dipping sauce. Made with a secret blend of spices, this sauce is the perfect complement to the momos, adding a fiery kick of flavor that will have you coming back for more. Be warned though, the sauce is seriously spicy, so make sure you have a cold drink on hand to help cool your mouth down! The stall itself is small and basic, with just a few plastic chairs and tables set up on the sidewalk. But what it lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in flavor. The service is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable. Overall, if you're a fan of momos, then you owe it to yourself to try Narayan Dai Ko Famous Momo. It's a no-frills establishment that serves up some seriously delicious dumplings, and it's a must-visit spot for anyone looking to experience the authentic flavors of Kathmandu. Just be sure to bring your appetite, and your tolerance for spice!

    This place is called Famous Mo: Mo for a reason. Everyone knows about it, as they should. The Mo: Mo is always delicious. The place is self service though, bit it isn't bad considering the place is a bit small. The place may be small, but it being situated in Basantapur helps it a lot. It's a cozy place lacking the hustle and bustle of traffic.

  • 3/5 Ravindra A. 1 year ago on Google
    Momos are average in taste, didn't know why it is so hyped.

  • 3/5 shashi k. 1 year ago on Google
    The taste is the best you must try it. Something I don’t understand is the point of self-service staff is just standing busy using phone gossip inside the counter and self-service!!! A toilet is right in front of the kitchen. I am sure they could do even better.

    Veg cheese momo : 10/10 Price : 180/-

  • 5/5 Manish K. 1 year ago on Google
    They only do momos and choila - so they’ve got their recipe honed to perfection. Momos we’re amazing. Choila was good too. A must visit local Momo chain in Kathmandu. Clean, hygienic and efficient.

  • 5/5 Bishwa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy room on the first floor. Food is great as always. Momos are a bit pricey at 180 per plate.

  • 5/5 sanjay 1 year ago on Google
    This fast food restaurant is the best Momo restaurant in basantapur and the newroad. The food price is very affordable, and the food tastes Authentic

  • 4/5 Rohan S. 1 year ago on Google
    The veg cheese momo was amazing! But the place is a bit cramped and you'll have to wait to get a place to sit. Would have been better if there were at least some seating arrangements outside.

  • 4/5 The B. 1 year ago on Google
    A kind of fast food restaurant. You would be lucky to get a seat, very less sitting area. But its almost always a crowded place. Mesmerizing and scrumptious MOMO.
