Good food overall. The Popeye's MO:MO were delicious. Had a lovely spinach flavor and a creamy base. The momo filling was also very tasty. The Spicy Peppered Wings were veryyyy good. Had a nice kick to them and were full of flavor. Will definitely order food again! The ambiance is simple but clean. Good customer service as well! read more

Food Shines - Popeye's MOMO - Indian Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

My friends were pretty full from prior meals so we split an order of steamed shrimp momos (order of 8) between three of us and two mango lassi's. With the momos were two dipping sauces with one specifically labelled as hot. Dumplings were juicy inside with a thin skin outside. The unlabelled sauce was tomato and cream based while the hot sauce was exactly that, HOT. Mango lassi's were rich and creamy made with more mango puree than what I am used to. Overall, we had a good experience! Bathrooms were clean and staff was patient while we decided on our order. Food was tasty enough and prices were fair. Would come again! read more

Have been here 3 Times. The food is constantly great with delicious and different flavors than just Indian cuisine. My only criticism, larger portions. Especially rice. If you never had Nepalese food, try this place...think you will be a fan. read more

The best Indian food In town . The other restaurants can't compare and I've tried every single spot in town. It always taste like something is missing but at food shines the flavor, spice and service are top notch .. My go to order is always the butter chicken extra hot and let me tell you it's actually spicy unlike other places when you order it . Also my fiancé always get the chicken tikka masala which I always have to have a bite is soooo good as well and we order that one medium. I will continue to recommend this place ! read more

I went to visit this restaurant that says they are open till 11 pm seven days a week. Went by at 9 and it was dark and closed. Not sure if they are out of business but was disappointed since it looked really interesting. read more

Naan, fries & Noodles were great, but did not enjoy any of the curries or momos. Very nicely maintained and very friendly , kind staff. read more

We did a take out for momo. Parking wasn't easy. Looks like they use purchased wrappers. For 10 bucks after tax, it had 8 tiny momos. Filling was bitter for some reason. Sauce was good. The only reason I gave a 2 star is because it was a takeout and I don't know their actual juciness. Bottomline- not going back read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their tikka masala hands down best chicken tikka masala i've ever had it's a sweet creamy savory meal. perfect amount of sauce to put on ur rice. Perfect hangover cure in the morning too. Their carrot cake is nice and moist and on the denser side. The icing is more of a cream cheese base. NOOO THERES RAISINS IN THE CARROT CAKE UGH. Still good but ugh disappointment. The pepper chicken was seasoned well and the onion and green peppers add that extra taste. read more

Love the momos here. One of my favorite places for momos in massachusets. I have tried their vegetarian momos steamed, pan fried, fried and with every single curry option they have and I love it. The best part is the sauce they give with momos... that's what makes the momos so amazing. The sauce is what makes it or breaks it for momos. read more

Delicious and unique food! I've never had momos in Indian curry before and I am here for it! It is counter service and you order and can eat there or take it to go. Their mango lassi was also very good (found in the cooler). I ordered the curry as hot, and it was spiced but didn't blow my head away. The zing wings are breaded seasoned wings, and the naan was fluffy and crispy! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food. I took my mother to get lamb but was limited to the goat curry. I got the chicken tikka masala and a side of the garlic naan. Both dishes had great flavor, and the meats were tender. The garlic naan may be too garlicky for some, but for us, it was perfect. The service was friendly and warm. It isn't waited, but they will bring the food out to you after ordering. It's a true gem if you're looking for a casual atmosphere. I will be coming back; it's an excellent place! read more

I don't understand why food shines does not immediately come up as Lowell's best hidden gem. Come in get the MOMO dumplings and enjoy what has to be one of the most addictive and flavor packed dishes this town has to offer. My personal favorite is the Tikkka Masala Mo Mo with a side of garlic naan bread, all absolutely delicious and fresh. read more

I was craving for momo and decided to give this place a try after reading the reviews. This was our initial meal to our vacation and we were excited to try it. When we arrived, there was a table occupied. But, other than that, we were the only ones. The restaurant is both small and spacious all at once. The walls are a beautiful shade of bright yellow and they are also adorned with red and white hand-glazed ceramic subway tiles. At the front of the restaurant is the ordering counter, which has a mini-fridge built into it. On each side of this fridge are potted plants as well as the word "Namaste". There are also tables outside for outdoor dining as well. We ordered Popeye Momo with shrimp, Tikka Masala with pork, Chicken Palak and garlic naan. The Popeye momo with shrimp order has 8 pieces of their homemade dumplings with shrimp fillings fried and sautéed with creamy spinach, and minced onions. Mmmmmm! It was absolutely bursting with flavor. Next, we had the Tikka Masala with pork which was eight dumplings fried and drenched in the tikka masala sauce. It was nice and spicy. We wolfed it down in seconds. Finally, we had the chicken palak which was boneless chicken with fresh spinach cooked with a touch of garlic, onion, creamy sauces and spices. Hubs loved it as much as he loved the Popeye momo and daughter firmly agreed. We were so hungry that I forgot to take the chicken palak. We also shared an order of garlic naan. That was nice, fluffy and garlicky. Everything was homemade, so it took a little time for them to make it. Love this place! Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! Also, there are parking spaces in the back of the restaurant. I was happy about that because there was no place to stop outside of the place. read more

Loved the momos! Great, very friendly atmosphere. Delicious and fresh food. Great garlic knots( more like garlic bread) but very delicious! Spicy, but not too spicy. Loved it! read more

i dont know how they managed to make the food taste bitter. literally had to throw out the food.

I have tried Momos at this place and they are amazing. Momo achaar is just the way it's made in Nepal. Loved it

My bf is obsessed with the steamed momos and I'm always getting the chicken tikka marsala. Highly recommend

Food is DELICIOUS but oh my god the portion size is small. Chicken Tikka Masada was $18 and it was 10 cubes of chicken, like three ounces of meat total, and the rest of the container was just sauce. See pictures below. read more

I have been looking for great Indian food in Lowell and am delighted tonight after trying this place. I ordered my standbys-- mutter paneer and veg samosas. Delicious, authentic, fresh, and pleasant service. I'll return for sure! read more

This review is strictly for delivery as I've never been there nor step foot in the building. This place popped up on GrubHub and as I'm sick of cooking, my partner and I wanted to give it a try. As this place is listed as "American" on Yelp, it's really Indian/Asian fusion. We ordered the Meat Plate, Chili Plate, Steamed Momo with Kathmandu Shrimp, Veggie Samosa, Momo Tikka Masala with chicken. The plates came with a good portion of stir fried noodles, two veggie egg rolls and momos. Honestly, when I order again, I'll just be ordering only momos as they are the stars here. The noodles were not my favorite for me. I wasn't a fan of the spices used. The veggie egg rolls were ok, they weren't stellar but they weren't terrible. The samosa was very good. They were not dried out and they were super flavorful. The momos were amazing. Each one was juicy and flavorful and all unique. My favorite was the Tikka Masala Momos as the spices were very good and covered with a flavorful sauce. I'll be looking to see when I'll go here to eat in person. As for now, for delivery or take out, I'll order all the momos. I suggest you do the same. read more

Got delivery tonight and I've found a new obsession: her name is MoMo. Yes, those eyeball shaped dumplings of tastiness are well worth the 8, 16, or 24+ you can crush in one sitting. I've only gotten 2 (tiki masala MoMo and peppered MoMo) and they were both dynamite. The sauces and spices are legit. Only bad part is I feel like I could eat 50 of them, at least. As someome who doesn't eat meat, I appreciate the veggie dumplings and other veggie-friendly options, and look forward to my next order. read more

Sooooooo good always!!! Literally one of my favorite places to get food. I live a half hour away and every second of the drive is worth it!

Always delicious and unique food, very friendly people and relaxed environment. Takeout is always on point. Try the tikka masala pizza.

The momo in tikka masala sauce was phenomenal. Best meal I've had in a long time and rivaling the Indian food in Boston. I would go out of my way to come back to this place for the food read more

Fantastic take out food. I was completely blown away by the tikka masala momo and the garlic naan. So freaking good.

Great food and I find the portions to be generous. The chicken tika masala and garlic naan is outstanding and big enough for my wife and I to split. I'll be trying more off their menu. read more

Cute place, great selection of food. Had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and Iced French Vanilla Coffee and it was all delicious! Then we tried one of the chocolate muffins and it was delicious as well! Would definitely come back and totally recommend this place to people from Lowell or visiting. Got a Red Velvet muffin to go and looking forward to trying that shortly! read more

Food is amazing. Delivery or pick up the food is always hot when we get home. Each curry dish comes with a side of rice. So far we've tries the butter chicken, coconut curry, and chicken curry. So far the chicken curry is a go to for me. The garlic naan is a must. Will be back. read more

Food is always excellent and delivery arrives hot! Tikka masala is bomb. Will definitely order again

Ordered here on a Sunday evening and I was blown away at how amazing the food was. We ordered the steamed chicken momos, fried chicken momos, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken masala, and garlic naan. The momos were so juicy and flavorful. They are little flavor bombs with juicy curry spices. We liked the steamed ones more than the fried ones but they were both very delicious. The curries were so rich and creamy. They really delivered the flavors without being overly spicy. We got them in the medium spice level, which was perfect for us. The garlic naan was so good too. They were perfectly cooked with actual garlic flavor. It's a MUST have with the curries. Overall, the food came out super hot, was ready really quick, and the food was amazing. We ordered take out and could tell the food was immediately cooked and packaged right away. We will definitely be coming back and definitely check it out if you're craving some bomb indian food. read more

Awesome food. Great service. During a snowstorm when we ate there, they helped us push our stuck car out of the sloped parking lot. Amazing people! read more

Ordered with Uber eats, they scimmped me on my chicken w tiki masala, very small portions for the cost

We found Food shines when my wife was looking for onion rings (odd). As soon as we saw they had momos ( Nepali dumplings) on the menu, we were ecstatic. We got the steamed pork momo, the chicken johl momo and chicken chili momo. All three choices were delicious. The momos were juicy and succulent with the achar/sauce perfectly complementing them. They have a lot of other varieties of momo including vegetarian options on the menu. They are relatively new and i urge people to support them during this difficult time for the restaurant industry. read more

Good service, good food. We had a variety of mo-mo and a noodle dish. Popeyes mo-mo were really good. We're glad we stopped in.
