We got takeout and tried a new momo. We still got the chicken himalayan chilly and the chicken tandoori (hard for us to really pick which we prefer, they're both so good). The new momo we tried was the vegetarian choyal, which is spiced with mustard. It was delicious but boy, mild was basically medium - it was hot!! My husband has a better spice tolerance than me, and he would probably go for it again, but it's a bit too spicy for me. The momos definitely lose something when done as takeout, I think probably texture mostly, but they're still delicious.

Delicious momos the size of golf balls? Sign me up. Chicken Jhol momo - tangy, soupy, hot, all we needed after a freezing walk outside. Himalayan Chilly momo - wasn't a fan of the sauce, a tad too sweet. Service was attentive and helpful.

Hello all! Brian here. My brother texted me the other day while I was at work to let me know that he saw a report on a restaurant in Philly that we hadn't heard of. It's called Nepali Momo Kitchen. We talked about going to check it out, and we went today. Located on the corner at 532 North 15th Street, this tiny little place packs a seriously delicious punch! Try to go early, as trying to find a place to park in the Fairmount area of Philadelphia isn't easy at all. We got lucky and parked close by. We went in and waited at the door until we were told that we could choose where we wanted to sit. The waiter brought over menus, and we sat for a moment to figure out what we wanted. Just a heads up: There aren't any photos of the food on the menu, and the menu is one sheet of paper with items on both sides. Do like I did, and open up Yelp while you figure out what you want. There are Chicken (items marked withe "Ck"), Goat, Shrimp, Vegetable, and Cheese dishes. There are noodles and fried rice as well. We had a ginger ale to drink with our food. When the waiter came back, and we began to order, he asked how spicy we wanted it. We said "medium" for the items we ordered. My brother had the Himalayan Noodles, and the Ck Jhol -- which we figured out was the soup style dish. I had the Nepali Himalayan Fried rice, and the House Special Combo Momo dish. There was water at the table already (which I love when restaurants do this), and you will need it. If you consider yourself someone who really loves spicy food, this may be in the Han Dynasty territory of heat -- sans a number system. I recommend just saying "medium" if you want some spicy heat in your food. It was plenty spicy for us! I've attached some photos I took of the food I had, to help you get an idea of dishes and portions. This place is EXCELLENT. We will definitely be going back. Having never had Nepalese food before, I don't know what the going rate for their dishes are. But, I don't feel like it was super expensive. I try to keep in mind that the ingredients of the dishes may have to be made with items from the homeland, and the price may what they are because of what it costs to import the real ingredients to make such amazing food. Make the trip to Nepali Momo Kitchen. Completely worth it!

Momo Sampler This is such a cute momo spot! We ordered the momo Sampler, and they were kind enough to also provide a momo in soup on the house. Exceptionally flavorful and nicely spicy, perfectly done!

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 momos Good service, nice ambience in a cozy environment

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!

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.
