    Luscious Tikka Curry Momo
    William P.

    Friendly staff. You order at the register and pick the table you want. Not much seating, so keep that in mind. The food was amazing. Great portions. Very flavorful

    Samosa chaat, chicken tikka momo, johl momo

    This place is SO good. Ordered delivery and everything was so fresh and packed with so much flavor. The chicken tikki momo and samosa chaat were actually incredible and I would eat it every day if I could. Super authentic!!

    Garlic Naan & Butter Toasted Momo

    Momo Factory is an example of places you discover when walking around any Chicago neighborhood--unique and unpretentious. The food speaks for itself. Previously, I had never had Nepalese food, but I'll definitely be having more in the future. We ordered the vegetarian Butter-toasted Momo and the paneer Luscious Tikka Momo. Both were very good, but the latter was our favorite. The sauce from the Tikka was delectably creamy and was generously coated on the momo. We also ordered a side of the garlic naan so as to not let any of the sauce go to waste. The gentleman working the register was also our server, and he was very kind and provided us a recommendation on which dish we would enjoy. If you're in the mood for trying something different while still enjoying great food, I would give Momo Factory a try!

    I went to the other location up in Lakeview several years ago and remembered how much I enjoyed Momo Factory so I was thrilled to see another one in the River North area. The inside of the restaurant was well-lit and clean with numerous tables. My friend and I decided to order takeout and got the following: - Chicken Momo (I forgot which one I got but I believe it was the steamed or Jhol) - Veggie Momo (fried with curry sauce on top) - Chana Masala ( I'm not certain if this was the dish my friend and I got but it was a chickpea/vegetarian dish) Honestly, everything we ordered was fantastic- even the fried food items maintained that satisfying crunch texture despite it being covered in the curry sauce (this is something many restaurants struggle to do with takeout but not Momo Factory!) I also loved how there's so many different types of Momo (steamed, fried, chiola, mandheko, jhol, manchurian, etc) Every bite was just flavortown and I cannot reccommend this spot enough. Momo Factory will forever be one of my favorite spots to visit in Chicago and I'm already looking forward to coming back and visiting when I'm in town next.

    Butter curry Masala momo chicken

    Incredible! Been wanting to try Momo Factory for a while now and finally ordered delivery. The Butter Curry Masala Momo - Rich creamy butter masala with plump chicken dumplings floating in the sauce. The flavor of the sauce is exceptional. The dumplings soak up some of the sauce but also you get the flavor of the filling. This might be one of my new fav dishes. Comes with a side of rice. The nann is huge. We got two and could have easily shared one. The Garlic chili noodles with chicken were really good, but a bit spicy. The flavors are excellent and they add a lot of chicken. Might skip this one next time but it's worth trying, especially if you like spice. Glad to have this location which is much closer to us than the other one.

    The food was really nice, also the portion size. Great value for money. The service was quite quick too. I would definitely recommend the 'Jhol Momo', it comes with a soup like gravy which is very comforting on a rainy day. They have great options for both vegetarian and non vegetarian. The ambiance is like a hole-in-a-wall kind of vibe, not very aesthetic, but then again such places have the best kind of food.

    I've been here a couple of times now. Each time we ordered different things to try. The food is really good which is what keeps us going back over and over. I do think that the restaurant itself could use some TLC and the service is a bit slow sometimes. I'll most likely still go again because of the food :)

    They have monos which is like a Nepalese dumpling. Think China and India. Delicious, friendly, and affordable.

    Potato chili
    Mayuri A.

    I love the food from momo factory. The place is small but they have enough seating. The service can get a bit slow during peak hours. I am a big fan of their tandoori momo and their dal makhani. Their jhol momo is great too. The best dish is their veg chili garlic noodles, so yum!!!!! Their fried dishes are too oily in my opinion. Their fried momo and samosas are the fried dishes that I have tried and found them too oily for my liking. Please steer away from their potato chilli if you have a low spice tolerance. My mouth was on fire after eating that. Overall, a great inexpensive place to get delicious food from.

Disclaimer, I'm an East Asian and I didn't grow up eating Indian or Nepali food so take my comments with a grain of salt. Lamb curry My friend and I enjoyed it. I bit into some star anise in the dish, and I wished they gave the star anise more time to incorporate into the curry (sauteing longer and toasting it before), as the star anise flavor wasn't really there. I had to bite into the star anise with the sauce to learn about the flavor profile. Eggplant curry I wasn't a big fan of the dish, as it felt a little astringent and bitter at times. I wasn't sure what it was going for, and I wished it utilized more of that umami flavor from the eggplant to elevate the curry. The curry felt a little overpowering. Fish curry As a seafood lover, this was one of the most special curries I have had. The fish was delicate and soft, which was paired well with the sauce. I would get this again. Chicken Biryani We increased the spice for this dish. The portions were huge and we liked it as a base to the other curries and something to eat with the naan. It was not bad. Mutton Momo (Soup) As a mutton/lamb lover, the momos were flavorful and hearty. They were paired with a spicy tomato soup, which felt different but familiar. We loved it. Mutton Momo (Chillied) The momo was sauted and fried at the bottom. It was paired with some bell peppers. This is the kind of dish where you wouldn't be able to stop eating. Loved it. Garlic Naan Hot, thin, crispy. Even though we wished the garlic was more pungent, the texture was great. Gulab Jamun (Fried Ball Dessert) It was our favorite. The syrup was gingery and had a subtle hint of saffron, and it blended well with the fried balls. This hit home. Overall, the food was decent. We will definitely be back for the momo and to try the different curries and biryani.

We kept it simple with water for drinks and ordered the chili chicken as an appetizer. It leaned more tomatoey than spicy, with a mild heat level, but still really tasty. For mains, we got the Chicken Madras and Khasi ko maasu (Nepali goat curry), both served with white basmati rice. We also ordered the bread basket, which came with naan, garlic naan, and onion naan. Everything paired really well together, super satisfying with both the rice and naan. The server asked about our preferred spice level for the goat curry, and we chose regular. It actually wasn't spicy at all, which worked perfectly for us. Our total came out to around $80, which felt like a great deal considering how much food we had left over, we packed everything up and basically got dinner out of it too. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for something flavorful but still relaxed. Would definitely come back!

I went back today and was honestly so upset because my go-to dish, the paneer makhini, was nothing like it used to be. It literally just tasted like straight cream. I even asked them to remake it because I thought something was wrong, but it came out the same way. I ended up just eating the other food we ordered, but it was such a disappointment because this has always been the dish I look forward to. I even showed them old photos from past visits compared to today and it was clearly different. The chef tried it and said it was the same, which shocked me because it really wasn't. I get that places can have off days, but this was really discouraging. As much as I've loved this restaurant, I don't know if I'll be back if the quality has dropped this much.

Our order included: cocktail samosas, palak paneer, baigan bharta, and the chicken tikka masala. The meal comes with three naan and rice on the side, as well as a dessert. We went with the gulab jamun. I also wanted an order of soup momos, so we added that onto our already robust order as well. (They didn't disappoint, so delicious.) Everything was well-balanced and spiced. I especially love that we were able to split the portions across multiple meals given how generous the naan was. The most beloved item was definitely the momos in the spicy/sour soup, followed by the buttery naan dipped in chicken tikka masala. I also really enjoyed the baigan bharta. So very enjoyed this meal, and I can't wait to try some of the other menu items that other diners have recommended.
