My second time getting take-out here. I ordered around dinner time on a weekend and the food only…read moretook about 20mins which I consider good timing. I got the below items and while everything tasted fine, the flavors weren't very robust. Everything was ordered at Mild spice level which had a tiny kick, and the first two came with basmati rice. For some reason they put all the rice in one large foil container, which I later remembered happened last time (2-3 yrs ago). Honestly I wish they wouldn't! Anyway, while nothing tasted bad, 3 stars is the highest rating I can give. FOOD REVIEW: * Palak Paneer -Okay. I can't place my finger on it, but something in the flavor was lacking, and fell a bit flat. * Lamb Vindaloo - Okay. Noticeably more potatoes than lamb. The sauce was a bit thick, almost like canned tomato paste. *Gobi Manchurian - Meh. It was little too acidic (think tomato vs vinegar). Also, sadly it was soggy due to how it was packaged(see pic). They may want to consider using a container that allows steam to escape. *Garlic naan - Okay. TBH I would have been just as fine with the frozen garlic naan from Trader Joes. If I give it another try in the future, and it's for me and someone else I will request they place each entrees rice in it's own container. With stewed/saucy meats and veggies, I like to combine each bite with rice. Without a dedicated foil plate of my own (and say we don't have access to plates 'cause we're out) what do I do? Continuously dip my (used) fork into the communal rice to add into my small container of entree?! Anyway, on a positive note, they do have a decent number of parking spots in the small lot and a lot of tables if you want to dine in.

Momo Sushi is my favorite sushi in Minneapolis. Everytime I get asked for a sushi spot…read morerecommendation, I always say Momo. The rolls are huge and packed with incredible combinations. There is a great variety of rolls so everyone is going to be pleased with the meal. The restaurant itself is tight on space but the dining experience makes up for it. I recommend you beat the dinner rush and go early when they reopen for the evening. Warning, it does get really busy almost everyday because it is just that good! Location-wise it is great because if you struggle to find parking in the small lot next to the spot, you can park on a residential street behind the restaurant and take a short stroll. I'm curious as to what the takeout experience is, I haven't had the chance to order, I would rather dine in the restaurant.

It was fine, we walked through the Indian grocery next door. (also fun!) We had a great little table inside. We ordered the Giaoza pork and tumpra veggies to start.

It was less that $60 for our family of 4. I can't wait to come back and try more.

I overestimated my spice tolerance and I don't recommend that spice level to anyone. I suffered to a point where I couldn't even continue eating so I had to order a mango lassi midway through my meal. The server saw me crying and she asked if I am okay which was a nice gesture. Malasa chai was pretty mid. It's too masala-y for me and no matter how much white sugar I added the taste didn't get better. I forgot to picture mango lassi but it was pretty good. Not too sweet or sour. If you are getting something spicy, I strongly recommend ordering mango lassi instead of chai. The vibes are cozy even though I felt like they could use more lighting in doors.

We are older folks and ordered 2. This was spicy but not overwhelming. but we still enjoyed it. This is not a fancy place but it has been here a long time. The food is good & distinctive.

Last time the owner gave me a rice pudding...for free :') I'd give this place my business every day if I could. Eating their food will make you feel warm, loved, and appreciative of where you are.

This is a little restaurant with about 15 or so seats at 3 tables. What they make are momos:…read moresteamed or fried dumplings with a chicken curry filling (they also do a veg version). As a first time visitor to the store, I got a complete tour of the menu, which is happily short and uncomplicated. The most help was getting all the food items explained very well. I got the combo, which included 5 momo (steamed), 1 meat-filled samosa, a bara, which is a fried bread make of lentils, spring onions, and spices. There were 2 dipping sauces available: harisa (hot hot hot!) and a sweet sesame sauce I don't recall the name of. When I ordered he asked which i wanted. I chose the harissa. When he brought my order, he brought the other sauce, too. And I was so glad he did! This little hole-in-the-wall place doesn't have much in the way of ambience, but it has charm, great food, and very friendly staff. I think most people get take away rather than dining in. I rather enjoyed sitting there, just enjoying the food and the heat from the sun through the windows and the spices. So happy I tried it. I will be a frequent visitor for sure!

With Momo Sushi closed for a while due to their unfortunate fire, I was craving their sushi too…read moremuch I made the drive all the way to Edina to eat at their sister restaurant AMA. I have since been several times. AMA Sushi is essentially the exact same as Momo if you have ever been before which was fantastic as I was missing it so much. AMA offers amazing prices, super fresh sushi, an incredible sushi bucket and super efficient service. The downside of both of them is that they have limited seating in a cute, quaint little shop for how incredibly popular they are so definitely be ready for a wait, especially if you go during a weekend dinner. If you are super hungry and have at least 1 other person with you, I HIGHLY recommend you get the sushi bucket. For about 45 bucks, you get so much food and if you have any allergies you can even let them to know so they avoid it. The chef will choose a few different rolls and sashimi for you to have and all you have to do is enjoy. The bucket is MASSIVE - it will really leave 2 people stuffed. I think its a fun way to go where you never no quite what you are going to get! My favorite family of sushi restaurants in the state.

The place was absolutely packed and there was a wait time and they would not seat you until you had your complete party there. It was definitely a bustling ambience. Our servers were all friendly, but I will say at the beginning I did feel rushed to order, I understand theyre a very busy restaurant so they want to move tables along, but I felt pressured to have to make a choice quickly when I wasn't necessarily ready.

I love the values of Namaste and that there are so many veggie options, but the food didn't stand out to me. My curry wasn't that flavorful (may have been a spice level thing? I got a 3, so maybe should have gotten higher?). That being said, maybe it was just what I ordered? I got the cauliflower, peas, and potatoes curry. Noticed that have really good happy hour deals, so will be back to try those at some point. I also want to give their Indian street food a try. Still love love love their patio, a nice mix of people watching and greenery!

The team was attentive to making space for more plates, filling water, taking drink orders etc. We were not rushed at all and were able to visit and enjoy a meal together.

The cocktails were creative & delicious!
