This might be my new favorite place in Chicago. The butter curry was sooooo good! The inside is unassuming, but the food is top tier. I waited about 15 min for takeout but it was so worth it. Will absolutely be back to try more dishes. - AD read more

Great food, but very slow. We went on a Tuesday afternoon expecting a quick meal. It took over 30 minutes for a few dishes with only one other person in the store. The food itself was amazing including the butter momo, briyani, tandoori chicken and the naan. Would highly recommend for the food, but I'd only order ahead from now on. read more

Looking for an amazing lunch that feels like it's homemade? Try Momo factory's lunch special ( I had the lamb lunch special), great value for what you get: Naan, lamb,rice , veggies and a drink. I paid about 18 bucks (including tax). Not bad if you ask me. I didn't get to take a pic of my food as I ate it so fast! So good! Food was nice and HOT (temperature wise) and the perfect amount of spicy. The cashier is always so polite and welcoming. Very quiet place if you want to get away from the office and eat a nice lunch. read more

Visited from New Mexico and this place was basically across the street from our hotel in River North. It was amazing! We got various noodle dishes and they were flavorful and felt somehow similar yet unique to other Asian noodle dishes we've had before. Mine had a kick to it and was a delicious vegetarian version but my boyfriend and kids both got meat. My kids' noodles weren't spicy and they devoured them too. The garlic naan was also super flavorful, garlic heavy which is how it should be! If I'm back in Chicago I will totally go again read more

A cute little spot to grab delicious food away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There's a few large tables inside that can comfortably fit 5-6 each. We tried palaak paneer, choila momo and the paneer Tikka lunch special. Others also got samosa Chaat, Manchurian Momo's fried and one more. Everything was yummy. We asked for our palak paneer to be spicy and it was very mild and needed a touch of salt. Paneer was soft and cut into giant slices. Servings are generous and well worth the price point. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

These are the momos to beat in Chicago. They have so much variety in the preparations. So I still haven't tried them all, but everything so far has been solid. Their chicken thukpa (think chicken noodle soup) was also so comforting on a wintery night. Momos definitely taste a lot better the restaurant than as takeout generally. While modest, there is enough space to enjoy there. But if you do takeout, pickup and eat immediately. The texture changes if allowed to cool down. read more

their chili garlic chow mein is actually so flavorful even when delivered. their momo was as expected gas. can't say much about the service, but would like to dine in next time just to save up on the absurd delivery fees. read more

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

Momo Factory - 2pm on Wednesday - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not sure if I just went on an off day, but we got the Tikka Curry Momo and Chicken Chat Momo and they were both extremely salty? Doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone else so it could've just been a bad batch but the saltiness made it hard to eat even with plain rice. read more

Really good stuff. Super much flavor and nice guy at the front desk. Spicy AF but that's how I like it. Would come back for sure.

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. read more

This second location recently opened in river north. We came for lunch on Sunday and it wasn't busy so we were served right away. We ordered the wild spicy curry momos with chicken and chicken chili garlic chow mein. Both were delicious! The noodles were my favorite. I'm always looking for good indo Chinese noodles and these were some of the best. It took a bit for our food to come but the momos tasted fresh. Overall a great quick spot. read more

Authentic flavorful Nepalese cuisine! The momos are fresh and your taste buds will dance. The food transported me to Kathmandu. Loved the tandoori momos, chili momos, and the chicken soup. read more

Good food! Super fast service. The ambiance is of fast food but good food overall! Had their veggie momo too, was actually really good. Impressive. read more

We carried out over the weekend. We ordered the veggie steam momos, chilli momos, Manchurian momos. We have tried this place before and it was good however this time it was not as fresh as I remembered it! The momos and the filling did not taste as great. In addition the Manchurian momos are supposed to be fried but they seemed like old momos were refried again. I would like to try it again however I would like to try and eat there instead of carrying out. Hoping for a better experience next time! read more

First time ordering takeout from here and my goodness this was so tasty...reasonably priced as well. I haven't dined in yet, but most definitely will order again from here. What I got: lamb curry, tika masala (chicken), steamed chicken dumplings, samosa (chicken and veggie). read more

Just opened in our Near Northside neighborhood. Tried for the first time last night. Ordered Jhol Momo, tandoori chicken, steamed chicken momo, chicken chili. Garlic chow mein and garlic Naan. Everything was hot , fresh and excellent quality. Tandoori chicken and its sauce was some of the best we have had in the city. Highly recommend this place. read more

The Choila lamb momos are exceptional! However, they can be expensive, little over 16 dollars for a set, but worth it if you got that kind of money. Parking however is difficult, it is paid parking for the most part. read more
