Absolute divine intervention of Nepalese chef skills embedded into authentic cuisines. The tika masala tomato base has been perfected, great blend of tomato and curry. The basmati rice also cooked to fluffiness that blends with the curry magnificently. The prized jeweled tandori Momos is something I never encountered before and this is someone who has had homecooked momos for years! The tandori essence is stir fried into the momo dumpling with a magnetic ease. The paired beer is also crisp, subtle with calm flavors. Cant wait to try other items! read more

Very distinct flavors. It's a marriage between Indian and Chinese. Their momo (pot stickers) were fat and flavorful. We added Jhol sauce. This is curry based sauce that dressed the potstickers and made it Nepalese. The momo did not taste right in my tongue. But, maybe I needed to be more open minded ? Ordered the Dhal soup. Yuuuuum... a little on the salty side. But, so flavorful and comforting. Must order when weather is cold. Chicken Biriyani. We had biriyani befoe. And their Biriyani is over the chart. There's no boring white rice. Every single grain soaked the spices perfectly. So good The butter chicken, extra spicy was a bit odd. We ordered it to be extra extra spicy. Maybe tht changed the taste of the dish? Gotta come back and give it a try. read more

MOMO places seem to be poppin' up everywhere, but with one so close and with good reviews, we decided to give this one a shot. We went with trying both the momo (essentially dumplings) and the biryani. (On a later visit, we got the skewer to add protein to the meal). The biryani is super good - it's one of those dishes you can just eat the entire thing in one sitting. It has both flavor and texture - and it combines beautifully that makes me hungry just writing about it. (NOTE: It did seem that the takeout portion was way bigger than the dine-in - but I've only ordered twice so far so I can't say for sure.) The momo themselves were, what I'd say, as-expected. Solid dumplings, but not like fantastic. I would take the biryani over the momo, but if you're in the mood for a lil' sumtin' dumplin' - then of course, the momo will do you right. Love that the spot is nearby and is delicious - makes dinner decisions in the future that much easier :) read more

So glad we were introduced to this restaurant and cuisine . Will definitely be back and also try their other restaurant In San Mateo . The Timur beer was perfect for a light drinker and I even had two ! The Chicken 65 was delicious... imagine 65 spices in a dish ! Chef made a special vegetable pakora for us which was also delicious . The chicken Manchurian was different in flavor and very good . We had two MoMo 'dumpling' s we ordered were delicious and unless other dumplings we've had before . The lamb was delicious as was the chicken masala. Difference in sauce and presentation. Must come back to try their other restaurant dishes . read more

Momo & Curry Nepal is a fantastic Nepalese/Indian restaurant run by a super nice family. Compared to other similar restaurants we have been to in the area, the portions were more generous, prices reasonable and the food was better. Everything we had was good. The dishes we ordered mild were mild and the hot were hot (but not over the top hot). Coconut curry chicken was delicious. Momos were very good. Chicken Manchurian also delicious. Also a very clean restaurant. Give it a go! read more

The food was delicious! Both the Lamb Curry and Lamb Biryani were flavorful and tender. Please note that the curry does not come with bread, so we ordered the Garlic Naan separately--it was super fresh and definitely worth it! We arrived around 1:00 PM, and the atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful. We didn't have to wait for a table at all. Great service and very clean. Highly recommend! read more

Newly opened in our stomping grounds so we thought to give it a try on a Friday night. The restaurant was quite full but Ishan did his best to accomadate. Clearly short staffed but the food made up for it! We had Chicken Tandoori Momo, Nepalese Chicken Daal-Bhaat and Vindaloo chicken Plain naan. All of Def need to go back and try more items on the menu. read more

I have come here a couple times already and it's great! Service is very nice - though during busy times not that attentive- so just be patient. My family really likes the butter chicken- so creamy and delicious paired with the biryani or chow mein (the sauce is so good!) The naan is just ok- I prefer their rice and noodles. Parking can be difficult in the area during peak times. Definitely a good spot to check out if you are in the area! read more

Momo & Curry Nepal - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Millbrae, California

I came here to grab lunch before a long flight from SFO. It's a restaurant in a busy, quaint part of Millbrae (in what I believe is the downtown). The restaurant wasn't too busy, but it seemed like there was a decent sized lunch rush for a weekday. It was also cool seeing staff and owners chatting with what looked like regular customers. Staff were courteous and service was quick. The food was amazing -- maybe some of the best Nepali I've had in the Bay Area. I've never had Tandoori Momos -- would 100% recommend. They were very well spiced and smoky from cooking. Absolutely delicious!! The Manchurian was also really good. Maybe a bit sweet and greasy for my taste, but very good nonetheless. Portions were also very generous for the price. I definitely ordered enough food for two people. Go here!! I'll be back when I visit San Francisco again. read more

One of the last few Indian spots we haven't tried close to our house and we're glad we did. The staff was super friendly and quickly seated us when we're walked in. The restaurant was filled with amazing smells and the menu was very inviting. This was the first time we saw dahi puri being offered so that was a must have. We also ordered chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and steamed chicken momos. The food came out pretty quickly and we dug into the dahi puri immediately. Crispy on the outside and filled with goodies on the inside. Will be ordering this whenever we come here going forward! The momos were delicious and came with a dipping sauce. The garlic naan was light and fluffy, a good complement to the chicken tikka. We couldn't finish everything but took the rest to go. Love finding a new place we can pull into the regular rotation. read more

Great addition to downtown Millbrae. First Himalayan cuisine good in Millbrae I think. There's always been the Indian spot down the street. Pretty spacious spot, mainly tables for four and two that can combine for bigger parties. Also pretty sweet they have a liquor license. Tried one of there appts that was a yogurt filled crispy thing, sorry forgot what it was called. Looks like a fried dough ball but it's like a cream puff but with yogurt instead. The chicken momo was in the jhol version. I think I'm way to use to dumplings bring pipping hot but these came out warm and ready to consume without worrying about burning your mouth. The sauce reminded me of the numbing Sichuan peppercorn. They were delicious, could've just ordered just Momo's for a meal and be fine with it. Shrimp biriyani was also good. There was a sauce that came with it but I didn't catch the name. It paired very well with it. Would definitely come again to try out all their other offerings read more

Pleasantly surprised by this cute restaurant less than 10 minutes from the San Francisco airport. They served generous portions for lunch and everything was really good. The Gobi Manchurian was definitely my favorite dish. The cauliflower was lightly battered, firm and had the perfect amount of Manchurian sauce. I also really enjoyed the vegetable Biryani - the fried onions on the top were a nice surprise and it was packed with cauliflower, peas, peppers and carrots. Finally, the vegetable Samosa was as you'd expect but still quite delicious. I ordered everything mild but if I ever go back I'd add a little more. heat. read more

Momo & Curry Nepal was one of the friendliest local businesses I've visited in a long time! The staff here was super hospitable, proudly showcasing their Nepali heritage through their dishes. The Combo Skewer plate came with boneless chicken and lamb pieces, marinated in yogurt and Himalayan spices, and grilled to juicy perfection in a tandoor oven. The skewers were served with marinated and grilled broccoli, onion, and peppers, and served with salad and mint sauce on the side. I also had the Goat Daal Bhaat, a complete Nepali meal that came with rice, tadka dal, achar (spiced potato and vegetables), broccoli, goat curry (bone in chunks in a spiced onion gravy), and gulab jamun, all served on a round metal platter. The meal was balanced and satisfyingly delicious, and the flavors were all authentic (except for the broccoli, which for some reason they substituted for raayo ko saag). Overall, the food here was worth 4 out of 5 stars, but the amazing service definitely gives this small business a boost! read more

First time a hit. This is no one hit wonder tho. We tried it a few weeks of opening, and we were surprisingly happy we ate there. So much so, that we have gone many times with friends and family. Usually a new restaurant take months to work out the kinks and stabilize their dishes to where its consistent and tasty. No problems here. Never a bad experience. Nepalese food is spicy (can be adjusted) with lots of curry and seasonings. The dishes are cooked so to awaken your tongue's senses. Nepal is close to India, so they offer naan bread (yum). Momo is a great place if you are a vegetarian. The manager is usually on site and takes the time to meet their customers. The decorum is pleasant, but not over the top. It's a good place for family meals and meeting with friends. Majā linuhōs (enjoy) ****************************** This is my rating system to help you gauge my rating.

Service was great!!! & food was good too but there were kids running around like it was a playground. There was one point where a kid was standing on one of the booths... like i was hoping the workers would say something but they didn't :( the whole time the kids just kept running and entirely ruined my meal! I remember the cup or the fork had stuff on it so i had to ask for another one :/ read more

We went to Momo & Curry for a weekend dinner and absolutely loved it. Everything we ordered was excellent , my fav was chilly chicken and egg noodles. They had some options for kids as well which was appreciated. The Biryani and Momos were delicious. We ordered the Biryani hot which was quite spicy for us even though we have quite high spice tolerance so keep that in mind :D We also enjoyed the Nepali Beer. Happy to have a great new restaurant around us read more

This location has gone through a few changes with different Indian owners. Momo and Curry Nepal has a lot of IndioChinese additions to their menu. Their momos are good, though we forgot to take a picture. The chicken vindalooo, though mild, was very flavorful with rich notes of all the amazing spices. The sauce was bold and the chicken was tender. The naan, though small and thin, was very fresh and chewy. I need to try more item from their menu. One thing to note is that they DO NOT have a buffet at any time of the day so please take note as I had to call to verify this information. read more

Last time I went there wasn't as good as before. The food wasn't as good. It tasted different. In addition, the service was terrible. We asked for chutney three times and they never gave it to us. To top it off, they weren't playing Nepalese videos anymore. All the employees we liked were gone! Sad read more

We just dropped by and got sit immediately. ! The place was clean & well designed! We ordered the veggie Momos, Puri, mixed Tandoori & mango lassi. Momos were tasty! The dipping & hot sauces were the Bomb! Puri was refreshing! One order was only 6 pieces. We need more! Mixed Tandoori was juicy! Mango lassi was yummy! Need more of that! All dishes were good choices! Can't wait to try different dishes next time. read more

The food is delicious here. Saw this spot during arts and wine weekend for soft opening. Tried this place for an event and I enjoyed this new local spot in Millbrae. After the event I came back to get more dinner here again with friends and it did not disappoint. The food is on par with the service was still excellent. The food came out fairly quick. Lots of table space. They are also open late if you're hungry later in the evening when everything else in Millbrae is closed. Definitely a new place to return for some delicious meals read more

Walked past yesterday and decided to give them a try. Really solid food and highly recommend the curries and momos... well that's in their name lol. All the curries come with rice so that's a plus. I believe they're the same owner as the one in San Mateo that I used to frequent and was addicted to their chickpea chicken wings. I believe they have those at this location too but I totally forgot to order!! Darn! The mango lassi was really thick and yogurt like, tasty. Anyway thumbs uppppp! read more

Momo & Curry Nepal has a very tasty menu! The service is good and the atmosphere is delightful. The food is fresh and healthy.

The service is friendly and the food is soooo tasty. The chicken 65 is tender,smoky, slightly spicy and just warms your mouth. The Tandoori chicken comes out on a sizzling platter and is fall off the bone juicy with an amazing slight aromatic spice profile. Their shrimp coco curry is delicious. This is amazing restaurant and definitely a place to come to over and over again with all the great dishes they serve. read more

From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was special. The warm hospitality, cozy atmosphere, and aroma of spices immediately transported me straight to the heart of Nepal. Every dish was a burst of flavor and authenticity -- the momos were perfectly steamed with juicy fillings, the thukpa comforting and rich, and the dal bhat a true taste of home-cooked perfection. What really stood out was the attention to detail -- every plate beautifully presented, the balance of spices just right, and the staff genuinely passionate about sharing Nepalese culture through food. It's rare to find a place that feels both elevated and heartwarming at the same time. Whether you're new to Nepalese cuisine or a longtime fan, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back (and bringing friends next time!). read more

This proud member of the Peninsula Economic Alliance brings authentic Nepali cuisine ti the Bay Area with heart, hospitality, and a whole lot of spice. Their signature chicken and lamb momos are a must taste item. Curries like butter chicken, goat curry, and paneer tikka masala are also great for taste. The menu also features vibrant vegetarian options, Daal-Bhaat, Chholla, and sizzling tandoori specials. Their team is welcoming, their spaces is inviting, and their commitment to serving seniors and supporting local events makes them a standout business in Millbrae's growing culinary landscape. Come and try yourself!! read more

Two of my colleagues from different parts of the state joined me for a dinner meeting here. I chose this because it is conveniently located 0.5 mile from the BART station, where I picked them up, and because we all like trying different cuisines. I came to the restaurant early to ensure we'd have a booth for the time we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful. They set a RESERVED table sign, which we found easily when I returned with my colleagues. We were hungry and ordered a variety of dishes to share: Chicken MoMo, steamed $15.50 Lamb Biryani $18.50 Daal-Bhaat (yellow lentil daal), basmati rice (bhaat), steamed broccoli, Nepali fresh achaar (pickle), Gulab jamun (sweet deep-fried dough ball) $21.00 Salmon Tandoori, cooked in a clay oven served on smoky sizzling plate $21.75 Timur Beer $9 x 3 We all enjoyed every dish - each was prepared well, with good texture, color, and flavor, and nicely presented. The beer was quite good, as well. What they considered "spicy" was not spicy for us, so we used the spicy sauce that was brought in a small bowl. The only item I did not try is the Gulab jaman; based on my colleagues' responses and knowing that I do not care for Indian sweets, I declined to taste it. The servers were kind: they checked on us, got what we needed, and did not chase us away as we continued our discussion past the time when we'd finished eating. A factor may be because it was not busy that evening. We had more than enough to eat, and we packed a couple of small containers for leftovers. The restaurant is simple in its furnishings, with booths on two sides and tables in the middle. There's a beautiful mural painting of Nepal all along one wall. I'm not very local (but more than my colleagues), and I would come back to this place to eat. read more

The tikka masala paneer momos were startlingly good. I haven't had such standout food in awhile - unique menu item and executed with perfection. The momos are pan-fried and then smothered with the most decadently rich and umami-packed sauce. Just half a plate was enough to fill me up because I also lapped up the sauce! It tastes good on everything and by itself. We also got the Chicken Daal Bhaat, which was a well-balanced plate of food with a chicken dish, lentils, broccoli, pickles, and dessert (though I can never appreciate gulab jamun) and more mild in flavor. But it was hard to top those momos. It's like seeing the headliner of a concert before the opener... just not a fair comparison. Overall, meal was amazing. Also love the stunning wooden tables that look like they're cut out of a single piece of wood. The only downside is their decor looks like they inherited the spot from a pizza joint and doesn't match the elegance of the tables. The TV coverage of Nepal travel destinations could also be nixed (or turn the volume way down). But for that caliber of food and the reasonable prices to get (very, very) full, these minor annoyances are easily ignored. We'll be back! read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant. Great food. Great service. We recommend the Coco Chicken Curry. Check it out!

Hands down my favorite Indian/Nepali restaurant. The momos are the best I've had on the Peninsula, especially the steamed lamb and the tikka momos! Aside from that, all their food has been great; I haven't had something I have not enjoyed. The seasoning is always well balanced and flavorful, without being overwhelming. In addition the staff is the friendliest and sweetest around! read more

We saw this place on Door Dash a week ago & decided to give them a try. The food was wonderful; the butter chicken tender & in a perfectly rich spicy sauce. The nahn was wonderful with perfectly done bread & the perfect green onion to bread ratio. My mother enjoyed her vegetable berioni which she shared some with me & it was wonderful with fresh vegetables, perfectly done rice, & a spicy sauce. Why the three stars, the porsions were pretty small for the prices; $19.00 for my chicken & probably a little cheaper for my mother's dish & the bread. I can get standard porsions elsewhere. I hope they change things; but, until then, we will not be ordering from here. read more
