Jhol Momo ( 10pcs)

The most Slept on in Nepal style spot in DC . Whole in the wall type vibes but clean and presentable enough to casually dine in . Even the kitchen looked clean and organized . The register greeter was cool and patient as I navigated the menu ( first timer ) . The wait time was reasonable as well 10-15 minutes tops . I've eaten here 3 times already and each time I go the food taste better than before . I got the Jhol Momo / C Momo ( both are flavorful ) with the C Momo being my favorite . The best Momos I've tasted in the city thus far . I'm going back to try other vegetarian options on the menu ( plant based eater ) Jhol Momo 7.5 /10 ( be sure to stir the soup before eating , to get all the flavors moving through the soup ) C Momo 10/10 savory , Slightly sweet , with a strong kick of spice ( 4 /5 spice level , creeps up on you will burn your lips and make your nose run for sure ) * to my knowledge all the chefs are from Nepal which means we get the authentic taste of their culture.

Chicken Biryani

Surrounded by small restaurants from around the world, Moh Moh Licious stands out with excellent food from a Nepalese chef. The small shop is known for their dumplings, but don't sleep on there biryani. The chicken one comes out hot with the perfect blend of spices, well cooked chicken, and a yogurt sauce on the side. For just under $20, it was big and very filling. There are a few tables inside and an area with cold water in jugs. It hit the spot!

Charming little place with great food, friendly staff, and excellent service. I ordered the pork momos and achari lamb. Taste wise they were excellent, but the serving of the Achari Lamb was too small for the price in my opinion. Food also didn't come with any veggies, which is a miss in terms of a balanced meal for me. If you want to eat in, keep in mind the dining area is super tiny (3 tables with max seating for 8 ppl total). If you are relying on Google to help guide you to the restaurant, be sure to note the entrance to the restaurant is on Georgia Avenue itself. I followed Google maps, which led me to behind the restaurant and discovered there was no rear entrance and so had to double back. Be sure not to make the same mistake I did!

Eating the food here was almost like a religious experience. You walk from the cold streets of DC and open up to a vibrantly colored shop with not a lot of tables. Just enough to dine a large group and maybe a few duos. But I would argue you would stand hunched over just to eat a Beef Momo. The blend of flavors, spices, creaminess is wonderful. It's also served like piping hot and biting into a hot, fully packed, and fresh Momo may be one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I'm so glad I walked into this place. It is honest when it says it's spicy! You know it's authentic to someone's personal recipe because we found ourselves picking whole cloves and cardamom pods out from the Lamb Biryani. You order at the window after looking at a written menu that has the charming elements of being hand drawn later on. They even keep magazine clippings of all their awards. More must come! More must come!

Delicious food. We ordered 8 dishes. Two momo, daal, butter chicken, veg chow mein, chicken biryani, okra, and achari lamb + tandoori roti. Half the dishes came with rice. Everything was excellent. Especially liked the C momo, chicken biryani, and tandoori roti. Ambiance is not fancy and quite small. Pretty quick service; they weren't busy when we arrived but seemed to have increased pickup business. Not sure we need to eat in again; it's not a bad atmosphere and is fast... but is a great carry-out spot.

Beef momo

Delicious food that is of the highest quality! Cannot wait to go back to sample more options!

Their Moh Mohs were delicious. I had the chicken variety with tamarind chutney. They were made fresh. It took a few minutes and when they came they were steaming hot. The wrapper was perfect. Slightly thicker than normal and held the filling well. Went on a Sunday morning and street parking outside the restaurant on Georgia ave was free. Otherwise it's a 2hr paid parking. The place is good for take out but had a few tables if you want to dine in.

I ordered beef moh moh with the sesame tomate sauce and it was delicious. The delivery was on time and the presentation was nice. I also had the Tamarind lemonade. It was a bit sweet for my tastebuds but the flavor was definitely there. I would order both again and plan to stop by in person during the warmer months.

Garlic Naan (PLENTY of garlic. Not for date night.)

Would like to give it 3.5 stars but that's not an option. We think it's worth another visit-- small, friendly space, walls mostly covered with menus/boba menus and a few small tables. Chicken momo had a little spice kick, but the dough is a bit heavy and dumplings so uniform they seem almost commercial? The chole/chickpeas and the saag were our favorites. Owner recommended chow mein (now that's a first) but we decided to try that next time. The menu feels almost too big-- maybe focus on fewer items done a with a little more care?

Chicken Biryani and Jhol Momo
Priscilla D.

My first ever order from Moh Moh was on a food delivery app. I had a crazy craving for chicken biryani so I ordered that and had to get some momos since that's the name of the restaurant. The serving of biryani was massive! It was enough for literally three meals. The spices were just right and it was so tasty. I thought the momos would just be like regular dumplings but they were fat, filled with goodness and in a decadent sauce. Those could have been a meal in their own. The price is right, the servings are huge and the food is delicious. Try this spot!

Curry
Carol K.

Divine! The Shrimp Curry and Pork Mo Mo Dumplings with Red Spicy Tangy Sauce are such a treat! I also tried the Chicken Curry, Samosa Chat and Garlic Naan. You can tell everything is made from scratch. If it was this good delivered, I can only imagine how good the food is in person. You have a forever customer in me!

Vegetable Dumplings

Hidden place with Nepali food. It's almost like a literal hole in the wall how small this is. Moh Moh Licious specializes in the dumplings from Nepal. Fast and good. The place doesn't have seating so it's only takeout. Good for a fast bite. If you're in a serious hurry you can call ahead but this still won't even help that much. The food is basically takeout. Come in and order at the counter. They specialize in moh mohs. If you haven't heard if these, they're basically dumplings. These get filled with meats or vegetables. It's about $6 for 6which is enough for an appetizer. This comes with a choice of a sauce. It can be hard to get to from outside the area. Some busses go by it. This is closest to the Takoma Metro station.

So, it's been a while since my family and I last went out to eat at a restaurant, and we landed on…read morethis one since it was both nearby and the prices reasonable for the fare that they offer. My wife and I had been here for lunch before and had a good experience, so this time we figured why not check it out for dinner? Turns out, it was a great idea. The wait for the food was a bit on the longer end, but to be perfectly fair, we ordered a LOT, so we certainly didn't mind. By the time the food hit the table, we forgot about it almost entirely because the smells of freshly made kitfo, lamb tibs, and this stewed chicken dish whose name I can't remember (but it came with a hardboiled egg!) hit our nose, nothing else mattered. The food was presented in a way that somehow matched the overall vibe of the restaurant, which at this time of night was set to be kinda toned down with dingy lighting and smooth music. Huge call out to my waiter that I curse myself for not getting his name, because he is, simply put, the best server I've ever had at a restaurant. Not only was he timely and discreet about topping off our waters, but also checked in about soft drinks as well, and when he heard my son saying the food was too spicy for him, he took it upon himself to get him something else to eat that wasn't spicy at all, and without myself or my wife asking. If you're looking for a great place to eat with a killer atmosphere and even better service, you've found it.

We ordered - Impossible meat momos 3/5 - they were okay...not the best and not the greatest. The flavor was hiding and the momo did not stay in tact at all. The sauce that they served alongside did not enhance the momo at all. Veggie momo 3/5 - again, they were okay. In fact, I think these were worst than the impossible meat momos. Didn't seem like there was any flavor and just veggies mushed together with salt and pepper. Raita 3/5 - way too liquidy for my liking. I thought they would at least provide rice, but no. So it was just basically liquid yogurt with a couple of strips of cucumbers and carrots. Paneer chili 0/5 - the container literally said 'paneer chili' and after 2/3 bites, I asked my friend if this was actually paneer because it was kind of chewy? Of course it wasn't and it was chicken!! I'm vegetarian so I was so disappointed that they put the wrong item in our order, especially since the container explicitly said paneer. This morning I woke up with a terrible stomachache. The food definitely did not sit right with me. I'm definitely going to skip this place and try Moh Moh Licious next time.

The hand stretched noodles are made here fresh and are super thick, long, chewy, meaty and delicious. I absolutely loved them. The noodles do not contain eggs. I got my laghman with tofu and vegetables and it had some wood ear mushrooms. I ordered it at the highest spice level and it was delicious. There was some broth/ sauce and it almost reminded me of a combo of a Chinese sauce and a NM strong red Chilli. It was quite interesting. The decor here was nice too and I really liked their chilli crisp. I had to repeat this spot to try more and tried the Korma chop noodles (I had to get something with those same amazing hand pulled noodles again!). I really loved it. I ordered it at the highest spice level as well. These noodles are best eaten fresh and not as leftovers. I hope to try more in the future in one of their locations (sounds like the ones in CA with same name have different ownership)! My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

They serve coffee during the day where I assume they have their pastries. Highlight was the korma chop - you definitely should specify your spice level. Medium was perfect and not too overpowering. The sauce that this comes with is so yummy. Wasn't a fan of the fried eggplant - it was on the sweeter side and the peppers weren't sautéed long enough. Service was friendly, but it did take a bit to get our check (you can just walk up to the counter to close out). Would definitely come back!
