    Schezwan Fried  Rice -Veg
    Rahul V S.

    Whenever the word 'Momo' propped up during food conversations with friends, the restaurant name 'Himalayan Kitchen' always surfaced. So when my mum was paying us a visit in Toronto , I decided to explore this place with her and my better half. We visited the place on a Saturday during lunch hour. I was surprised that it wasn't crowded with no wait time, especially after the rave reviews I'd read. I was even more surprised to see that there was only one person handling the front of house duties, playing the roles of cashier-server -- who promptly directed us to our seat and handed us 3 menu cards to choose from. What we ordered: - Tandoori Veg Momos (16.99) - Schezwan Fried Rice(16.99) - Chicken Lollipop (16.99) The dishes came quickly, the first one being Tandoori Veg Momos, which to be honest seemed... confusing. Tandoori means cooked in a Tandoor over coal. These ones seemed deep fried, were covered with red (which i am guessing is Tandoori sauce and hence the name) and green sauces, and served on a hot iron plate -- more like a sizzler. However, even though smothered in all the sauces, the momos were crunchy on the outside and the first bite gave a really nice feel. The momo filling - Carrot, Green chilli, and cabbage - was quite flavourful and with the sauces it was quite delectable. Note: They have an inhouse chilli sauce on the table which is quite spicy. If you like spicy food, I highly recommend you to try it with the momo. Rating: 7.2/10 Second dish that arrived was the Schezwan Fried Rice. Another surprise, since the rice and color wasn't the one that we are normally used to i.e. Normal Hakka Schezwan Fried Fried rice is usually made of Sella Basmati, is bouncy with separate grains, and is Red in color, and has no peas. This one was a bit saucy, grains were round shaped, and had peas. However, being a Nepali Restaurant, we surrendered that this may be their style of Schezwan rice and dug in. It was surprisingly delicious. It was sweet-spicy, and quite flavorful. I'd still prefer to not have the peas, but overall we enjoyed this new style of Schezwan rice. Rating: 7.5/10 The final dish was Chicken Lollipops, which from the looks of it, were sauted in a red sauce. As someone who loves chicken lollipops, I was quite excited to try them. But the excitement soon subsided. The lollipops were nice and crunchy on the outside but the chicken felt dry and rubbery. Also the sauce was a bit on the sweeter side -- sonthe chilli sauce came to my rescue. Honestly, they were just over par in taste. Rating: 6.2 /10 Overall, this was just above average experience. May be I went in expecting a lot. To foodies: Please do try this place, especially if you like Momo. But don't go in with huge expectations. The food is decent and quite flavorful, so one visit with friends/family is a must. To Restaurant Management: Your food is good but it can be great. Don't know if it was a one off, but the lollipops were a let down. Also, every dish had a sweet taste to them - which I believe shouldn't be the case, especially Schezwan Lollipop.Your service however is top notch. Overall Rating: 7.1 /10 Signing off...

    Tandoori momos and chili chicken (dry)
    Alana K.

    My friend and I came here for dinner on a Sunday night. We got here around 7:30 and waited about 45 minutes for a table to become available. There's no waiting area, but you can leave your number with the host and come back. We ordered the tandoori momos with beef and the chili chicken (dry). Both dishes were excellent! Very flavorful and hearty. The food was worth the wait.

    ??? Wait. I saw this package and the momos somewhere else. Yes, it was exactly the same as what I had at Momo2Go - Queensway. As I mentioned in my Momo2Go's review, the momos were disappointing. Himalayan Kitchen is right in the Parkdale's Momo junction. What I expect here in momo is hominess. Made from scratch, no frills, strong wrapper and simple but flavorful fillings, and if possible, affordable. But their momo wrappers are machine pleated lacking chewiness and taste, no character. The meat inside lacks meaty texture like a paste product. Like Momo2Go, the soup is not well integrated with the meat filling, lacking natural flavor. The price was reasonable but here in Parkdale, you can get homemade momos for the same quantity and price (even less) with better quality elsewhere.

    Makhani momo and schezwan noods
    Pranav M.

    Have been to this restaurant before but decided to order takeout this time since they usually have a pretty long wait. Ordered through the app, pretty straight forward but prices have definitely gone up a bit. Paid about 55$ for 3 dishes. Makhani momos slapped, but the fried ones were a miss. Lacking flavour. Noodles were SPICY so beware. Nice staff when I picked it up, really prompt and got my order in a nice reusable bag.

    It's a tiny yet homey restaurant, and it seems to be popular for takeout too. Honey Chili Fries - French fries but much tastier with the honey garlic sauce. Chicken Chili - I think that's what we had; chicken chunks with a special sauce. They have so many varieties of momos - it's like the Tibetan version of sautéed Chinese soup buns, but you can go for fried ones too. I think we had the Malai Masala Momo and Tandoori Momo. One was with a yellow creamy sauce, and the other was with a darker-coloured sauce. Both were delicious. Their fried rice was yummy too. The service was at a typical diner level; the staff tried their best while being busy with takeout orders to accommodate our needs. The place could have been way better if it was cleaner and more spacious (I almost slipped while coming in), but the food was great, so I'm not complaining. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 5/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - NA/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 2.5/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 3.5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 3.5/5

    Steamed Momo, Bombay Masala Momo, and Vegetarian thali. All vegetarian dishes.

    A very homey but mighty restaurant that serves traditional Tibetan cuisine along with Nepalese and Indian fusion dishes. Sadly, they no longer serve their vegan Momos. In the heart of Little Tibet, my husband and I arrived and were quickly seated at a table where the wait staff promptly brought us water. We had trouble scanning their QR code which was found on each table. After going to several different tables, we finally were able to secure the QR code. Other patrons were all doing the same. After that fun exercise, we ordered Steamed Vegetable Momos, Vegetarian Jhol Momos, and Nepali-Style Vegetarian Thali. We had not realized how filling the Momos were and I have to say, the star of the lunch was the Vegetarian Jhol Momos. The most disappointing was the Nepali-Style Vegetarian Thali and that they had not included the roti, which was supposed to come with it. I had to pull it up on my phone to show the waiter, after he feigned ignorance that this entree does indeed come with roti. Afterwards, he finally admitted their machine had broken and that we could get a free beverage. If he had just told the truth in the beginning, I would have been fine but for him to fib and pretend he had no idea what I was talking about, left a very sour note because I started to wonder what other short cuts they were practicing. That alone made me deduct a star from their rating.

    My boyfriend was craving some spicy food on a cold Friday evening, so I suggested this place (as I've heard great reviews about the food). As the weather was very snowy, getting here was a bit challenging. However, we made it just in time for dinner- around seven o'clock. The place was small yet inviting, thanks to the golden-coloured walls and colourful decorations. There were about four people eating dinner by the windows. A young lady greeted us and gave us some time to look at the menu. We ordered chili momo (chicken), soya chaap chili, Nepali-Style Vegetarian Thali, white rice, and sweet lassi. Every item was delicious- the chili momo was juicy and spicy, the soya chaap chili was also juicy and lightly spicy, and the lassi was sweet and refreshing. My boyfriend enjoyed his vegetarian thali- the veggies were cooked well and there was just the right amount of spices to make each veggie full of flavour. During our meal, the lady came by to check-in on us and to make sure that we had everything that we needed. The portions were very generous, so we ended up taking the leftovers home. Good service and great variety of food, we look forward to many more visits!

    A family owned business in Parkdale that serves traditional Tibetan cuisine along with a fusion of Nepalese and Indian cuisine. We arrived on a Monday, noonish. There was a bit of funk in the air but the restaurant appeared clean. We sat and ordered after studying the menu via scannable QR code. An order of Steamed Vegetable Momo's, an order of Bombay Masala Momo's and an order of Nepali-Style Vegetarian Thali was placed. Momo's are dumplings of Nepal. They are rather large with thick skin filled with, in our case, finely minced vegetables. I found them flavorful and juicy and although the skin is on the thicker side, it was not doughy or chewy. The steamed Momo's were very good without the accompanying sauces. The Bombay Masala Momo's are steamed vegetable Momo's sautéed in special Himalayan Sauce. The sauce was chili spice with a touch of sweetness and tomato tang which gave the already steamed Momo's a savory dimension. The Nepali-Style Vegetarian Thali was good and was reminiscent of Ethiopian Cuisine minus the spice complexity. The Momo's are quite filling and what was ordered was more than enough for me and wifey. This was our first Himalayan experience and most likely not our last.

    Jhol Momo - don't get this, very bland
    Danthanh L.

    Went last night with some friends to try some dumplings. I ordered the following: - Delhi Masala Momo (Chicken) - Fried dumplings sauteed in special creamy Himalayan sauce topped with mint chutney. - Tandoori Momo (Beef) - Fried dumplings mixed with tandoori sauce and topped with mint chutney. While my friends ordered: - Jhol Momo (Veg) - Steamed dumplings with jhol achar (soup pickle). - Honey Chili Fries - Spiced French fries sauteed with garlic, onions, and honey garlic sauce topped with sesame seeds. Overall, I would recommend the Delhi Masala Momo (Chicken), the sauce is really quite good! FYI - I asked for mild spicy but it felt more medium, still okay for me though. I also thought the Honey Chili Fries was very unique. However, I might have wanted it to be more covered in sauce but still worth a try. The Tandoori Momo was served on a sizzling plate but a bit too dry for me. I don't really recommend the Jhol Momo (Veg) - it was quite bland even though it's in a pickle soup. I didn't taste any tangy twist or much flavour. Service was nice but once they get busy in evenings it takes a while for food to get to you. My friends ordered 2 dishes and the server forgot about it. Made an excuse it will be only 6 mins but really we waited much longer and had to remind them. Good for very casual hangouts with friends and take out.

    Spent a day recently touring around Queen West Toronto and made it to Little Tibetan. I've had "Tibetan Momo" on my long list of items to try and I was finally able to check it off. I love dumplings so it's always so exciting trying another version. The skin texture of tibetan dumplings are similar to chinese ones and a bit more doughier than Japanese gyoza and Korean mandu. Simply delicious! One order had 10 pieces so we started with the beef ones and then got the mixed vegetables momos as well. To our surprise, we really liked the vegetables momos which was mixed vegetables with paneer (Indian cheese) and these were truly different from any other dumplings the we ever had. The vegetable momos have definitely made it to my top 3 favourite dumplings. I will definitely be back for more momos and to try their chicken lollipop.

    Bombay Masala Momo
    John H.

    We have gone back a couple times over that last few months and this place continues to be bonkers good! Last night we waited on the street for a table and the place was hopping. Worth the wait as the food came very quick one we sat down and was just as delicious as usual. Amazing flavors! Our new favorite is the Jhol Momo (with beef). The sauce is thin but tangy and a little bit spicy - it is very hard to stop yourself from licking the plate. And even though this place is super busy the staff are very friendly and efficient without seeming rushed. Love this place!

    Delicious meal from Himalayan Kitchen
    Jennifer H.

    This is one of my top Tibetan restaurants. I noticed some items on their website and ordering app do not overlap as much. My friend ordered the food by phone. The food still tastes great after a 1-hour commute on public transit. Food: I would call everything I ate to be comfort food. Some notable highlights - Chili fries - I think the spice level of these fries is medium (to me), and they are the ONLY fries I am happy to eat in their soggy form. They do err on the side of soggy in texture. Chole bhature/chana bhatura - the flavours in this dish make my mouth water right before I take a bite. Composed of a tangy chickpea curry and fluffy fried puffed bread. Do not underestimate this dish. Sha Bhaley - a juicy beef patty in fried dough. Even though an order comes with four patties, I can probably eat them all in a day. Service: The staff here are hospitable and friendly! Pricing: The price can't be beaten with the quality of taste and warmth you are getting.

    Top to bottom: Himalayan  Kitchen Special Chow Mein, Steamed Vegetable Momo, Malai Masala Momo (spicy!)
    Julia D.

    I was committed to finding and eating momos on this trip and I am so so glad I chose Himalayan Kitchen. I've never eaten anything like this food before and honestly, it was lifechanging. I wanted to order the entire menu, but that's not "reasonable", so I got the Himalayan Kitchen Special Chow Mein, which was incredible. I also got the vegetable steamed momos and the Malai Masala momos, which were so so soooooo delicious. Thank you for the delicious meal, my last in Toronto.

    Mixed feelings about their momos. (Pan fried beef momos & steamed chicken momos)…read moreHave to tell you first, I only had momos for take-out. So my review is quite limited... Loved the wrapper's texture and favour. Not too thin, not too thick. Hand pleated. Nice pure wheat-y flavour. No machine made tastelessness nonsense, which I really appreciated! But the fillings were under-seasoned, felt dry and bland to me. And many of the momos came with their wrappers torn - which may explain their dryness. When waiting for my order, I enjoyed its atmosphere - the unassuming outlook and hippy-way interior, very Kensinton-like place! May be better suited for eat-in, to feel the total ambience to boost my food experience.

Our server was excellent giving us an overview of their signature dishes such as Thenthuk (Tibetan noodle soup) and Tingmo (steamed bread) and these two items go perfectly together...loved it! We also had their Cajun-chilli beef Momo (dumplings) which was delicious. I enjoyed almost all the dishes but I wasn't a huge fan of their steamed chicken Momo as the skin was a bit thick and the meat was a bit dry in the dumpling...probably better if it was deep fried. And I must mention their Chili Chicken was a bomb. And the prices were very reasonable ranging from $13 to $15 per dish. For the four of us, the total bill was $82 including taxes for 4 main dishes, an appetizer and 2 smoothies. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we'll definitely be back!

    Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 4/6 Food: We ordered the meat platter, salmon momo half plate, & sho-go momo. For dessert we had the deep fried banana. Everything was delicious & freshly made. We really liked the sho-go momo (potato & onion). The deep fried banana is good too. Not too much batter which I liked a lot. I would definitely eat here again. Service: It's a little slow because there are only two people running the restaurant when we visited. They both were doing the cooking & serving. Hubby & I didn't mind because we weren't in a hurry. I think they should have some waitstaff to help them out. Ambiance: It's a clean restaurant. There are prayer flags strung up from the ceiling. The music they play sounded like monks chanting. It's a very relaxed vibe. On a hot summer day it was nice, breezy & cool inside. It felt nice at first but I started getting cold after a while. Their bathrooms are in the basement & we're also clean. The ceilings are a little low in the basement so you have to watch your head. All in all it was an enjoyable lunch. My favourite was the sho-go momos (potato & onion).

    Food: 3 Stars Service: 3.5 Stars…read moreAmbience: 3 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied Each time I wander Greek town and see this place I promise that I would try it next time as I am a big fan of all sorts of dumplings. Well today I finally decided to make good on that promise and while I was not blown away it was a positive experience overall. The first thing I noticed about the menu was how many momo options were available. A lot of different choices from your basic chicken/beef/pork to butter chicken momos so lots of options. I ended up just getting a half plate of steamed pork momos along with the chilli chicken. The momos were pretty average in terms of taste even when I used the sauces provided. Perhaps the fried version would have been better but I definitely was underwhelmed with this one. As for the chilli chicken, the flavour was decent and for those who love saucy dishes like me this one is not saucy at all. I asked for a 5-6 on a scale of 10 for spiciness and it definitely had a bit of a kick but nothing too spicy. In terms of taste it was decent however I found the chicken to be a bit on the dry side but not too bad. The folks there were super friendly and overall service was not bad. The food arrived quickly too which was a good thing as I was hungry. There was plenty of seating in the restaurant and it was spaced out nicely so it was comfortable to be in. There were a lot of cabinets with different items in them so it might be interesting to look around while you wait for your food. Overall, I enjoyed the visit and will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.
