    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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!

    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.

The decor was lovely and the ambiance represented an upscale experience in my opinion. They even offered free champagne and it was good! My friend and I tried: the Sticky Ribs Suya, Jerk-Braised Short Ribs with Curry Pea Risotto, Oxtail Mac & Cheese, and the Suya-Spiced Lamb Chops. All of the food was absolutely delicious, my only gripe would be that the lamb chops didn't come with enough green beans. The "Up All Night" (their version of an espresso martini) was also pretty good. Next time, I'd opt to get a traditional espresso martini though. Lastly, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and timely. We even left her an extra tip. If I had to make a suggestion, the big ape could be moved elsewhere. It really does take up too much space.

    My boo has been telling me he wanted to take us to this spot for a while so we finally tip toed…read moreourselves over there this past Saturday (April 25th). We were going to an outside event, but because the rain and cold we decided to go ahead and try this spot out. And it did not disappoint at all! We did not have a reservation so when we walked in it was packed we were a little worried. But nope we were able to get a table because someone who made reservations didn't come so we were able to slide right on in. We started out with a couple of drinks I believe it was a 1123 punch. It was alright but the drinks I got later made up for that drink not hitting. My boo he ordered the waygu egg rolls and they were fire ok! We also ordered the fried chicken fried deviled and they were so good. Never thought I would like fried deviled eggs. For our entree he ordered the jerk chicken meal and I got the crab risotto, scallops, and spicy broccolini. When I tell you my scallops were so tender and the risotto was so damn cheesy! Lord have mercy! Now to the drinks...so we tried a Hennessy drink can't remember the name was STRONG then my last drink was a nice fruity drink which hit as well. The inside of the restaurant is very much given upscale date night and nice vibes and the DJ was playing those tracks! The only reason I didn't give them 5-stars is the price. They automatically add 20% gratuity and the prices for the food were a little high. But other than those I would love to come back and maybe just sit at the bar during the week day just to see how the vibes are during the week versus the weekend vibes. And how could I forget the complimentary champagne...not a full glass though...lol

None of us were from this area, and we intended to go to the Mayflower Chinese Restaurant, based on Yelp reviews. However, once we walked in the door, it was apparent this place was focused on carryout, and there was no way we were staying to eat in their dingy entrance area. We walked next door to the Meleket Ethiopian restaurant. However, the place was deserted, and we didn't stay there either. We tried the Lime & Cilantro, the next place down, but it was packed and couldn't handle our group. So, we skipped past the verernary clinic and went to Spring Garden. And, what a great choice that was. They offer a huge menu of Chinese, Thai, and Japanese meals. Everything is reasonably priced. Once we got our food, we were impressed with the quality and portion sizes. And, through it all, the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered Hot and Sour soup (my bellwether for Chinese restaurants) and beef chow fun. The soup was flavorful without being overpowering, and the chow fun was delicious too. I liked everything so much that I ordered another soup and Thai Basil with Chicken to go, and that's been my lunch for the past couple of days. Don't be put off by the seediness of its location. Spring Garden is a great place to grab some tasty, reasonably priced food, either to eat in or take away.

We were able to snag a table for Valentine's Day evening on their website and they did NOT overbook - we were seated within 5 mins. of arriving.

We were very hungry but decided on 4 smaller plates, which was exactly the right amount of food. Highly recommend their Crab Kathi Roll appetizer, the Crispy Spinach with Dates, the Chicken Cafreal and the Eggplant Fritters - although the mild spicing and flavor of the eggplant was outshone by the other robustly flavored items; still tasty though. Service was friendly and crisp and the pricing was very economical especially considering the variety and quality of the food and beverage. A 5-Star keeper!!
