    D2. EGGPLANT CURRY {Vegan} F2. BUTTER CHICKEN F6. LAMB CURRY
    Aliza J.

    Tried Samikcha MoMo for the first time and we definitely made the right choice! Every dish was incredibly flavorful and perfectly creamy where it needed to be. The meats were tender and soft, and everything we ordered was delicious. My personal favorites were the butter chicken and cheese naan--but honestly, everything was so good. The staff were also very polite and kind, which made the whole dining experience even better.

    I've heard great things about Samikcha Momo and glad I finally got to try. We got momos, biriyani and naan and one more item. I would say the momos are out of this world and they're so flavorful and delicious!!! I see why this place is well known for them. But everything else it was good but not amazing, so if I come I'd only get momos.

    Wow til his place was amazing! Their Momos were literally hands out one of the best things i've ever had. I literally tooo a bite and was like wow i probably could eat this everyday. THE SAUCE WAS DELISH. The workers were nice too! I was surprised because it was really empty in the restaurant but yall need to try this place! My fave things were the Momo and the butter chicken, everything else was okay but i still will come back

    Basmati rice

    I ate a late lunch at Samikcha MoMo. The menu is huge with a mix of Nepalese and more Chinese-style dishes. My order consisted of Halal Chicken Paanak and basmati rice. The chicken dish had finely chopped spinach in it and was a little spicy for me (I have a low spice tolerance!). The lunch came to about $20. It would be nice if they had lunch specials or more combination plates. The only ones they had were the more Chinese dishes that came with fried rice/chow mein noodles and a small lettuce salad. The restaurant is modern and clean. The service is prompt and the wait staff came back to ask how the food was (which was nice)! There was some lovely music and singing from the flat screen TV in the back...maybe music videos? Delicious food & very good experience. I will return to try more dishes!

    A16. PANEER MOMO- Chilli
    Christina L.

    One of my favorite restaurants in San Mateo! If you're looking for flavorful, authentic Nepalese/Indian food, you have to come here. The momos are a must try-- my personal favorite is the chicken momo with tikka masala sauce. The gobi manchurian is great as well. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Service was fast, and the space is clean. Overall, this is one of my go to spots.

    Chicken Momo Tandoori
    Katie T.

    Overall pretty good and flavorful. Highly recommend the veggie momo's. Moderate pricing for quantity but not bad for the quality!

    Lamb Tikka Masala Garlic Naan Chicken Chilli Momo
    Nancy H.

    My friend and I came here late at night on a Sunday. There was no wait and we ordered the Chicken Chili Momo, Garlic Naan, and Lamb Tikka Masala. Service was standard, the restaurant was modern, casual, and clean. The portions were small for the price but the food was flavorful and delicious. My favorite dish was definitely the dumplings! I would come here again if I was in the area and some friends wanted to a place to catch up at a restaurant late at night.

    Was looking for a spot in San Mateo to meet up with South bay friends from SF and this was around halfway - found it through Yelp of course. Lots of great options, and so many different styles of momos! We loved everything, so many good veggie options too. We tried to the tandoori momos and tikka masala (I liked the tikka masala one more) but tandoori comes sizzling! Def recommend getting diff options to try... Chow mein was great and aloo gobi was solid too. Ambiance is pretty casual, service was good.

    Garlic Naan
    Michael C.

    We tried Samikcha on a whim while walking around downtown San Mateo for dinner. It took a bit of time to decide which momo to order, but we ended up with the tandoori momo. It arrived on a steaming iron plate, similar to Korean BBQ, and was delicious. This was a first for us--Chinese dumplings with Indian curry--and the flavors worked together really well. The dumplings were cooked perfectly. The mixed Sichuan chowmein was overall peppery with a familiar, slight electric pepper buzz, though we wished it had more vegetables mixed in. The halal chicken curry was flavorful with tender meat. Unfortunately, the naan was a bit dry with a burnt garlic taste. Despite a few small issues, it was a good value for the money and the taste. We'll definitely have to go back to try their other momo flavors and dishes.

    Gobi Manchurian
    Kimberly L.

    Yummmmmmyyy! I came here for quick lunch with a friend and everything was delicious. I highly recommend the gobi Manchurian, veggie momo and chicken momo. It was totally affordable for a quick bite and was not crowded at all. I'll be back.

    Chicken momo tandoori
    Jason X.

    A hidden gem in downtown San Mateo! We liked everything we had - the samosa chaat in particular felt unique and packed quite a punch of flavor. Quick and kind service. Casual vibes - not really a date night spot.

    Lamb tandoori
    Serena L.

    Good service and kind people. Not crowded, maybe two or three other tables were seated. Lamb tandoori - 3/5, lamb with onions and veggies cooked on top. The lamb had a good grilled flavor, but was a bit on the tougher side. The veggies were good though Chicken momo tandoori - 4/5, chicken dumpling with veggies on top. Good flavor with a meaty filling. The veggies on top, again, were good. Probably my favorite part of these dishes haha Coconut chicken curry - 4.5/5, super tender chicken in a flavorful curry. The curry was not as creamy as I thought it would be, but it was still nice and thick. Not as heavy as butter chicken or tikka masala. Yum! Garlic naan - 4.5/5, garlic naan. Yum!! Gobi manchurian - 1/5, battered and fried cauliflower in a sweet, sour, spicy sauce. We were feeling adventurous and decided to try something different, but I guess it just wasn't for us. The batter was pretty thick, so some pieces seemed to be all batter. Cauliflower inside was tender.

    Veg Veggie Momo- Steam
    Priyanka G.

    We stumbled upon this place late night and ordered Veg Steamed and Tandoor Momos. Both had the same filling, one was steamed and the other one was cooked in Tandoor and came on a sizzling plate which kept the momos hot for the whole time. The Manchurian Fried rice bowl was amazing, couldn't resist and ate almost half the bowl before taking a picture. The egg chow mien could have been better. It was not bad but the taste of other dishes raised our expectations. They have a nice cosy restaurant, decent lighting and seats. The best part of their service is they are open until 11pm ! I wish they open a branch in South San Jose. It's a bit far to visit San Mateo for momo cravings.

Their menu is ideal for a graze table, with food that was flavorful, balanced, and visually stunning. Juthika and Kavya were enthusiastic, responsive, and punctual. On the day of the event, they arrived on time, and everything was set up perfectly. The graze table looked gorgeous, and the delicious food was the cherry on top. We ordered samosa pinwheels, masala rounds, paneer sliders, chicken puffs, pani puri, papri chaat, mango panna cotta kheer, and rose milk tres leches. Both desserts were a hit. Everyone loved the mango panna cotta kheer, even though I am usually a tres leches fan. The samosa pinwheels, paneer sliders, and chicken puffs were especially delicious. Juthika also baked the cake for us. She asked which flavor we wanted and suggested a few ideas of her own. We trusted her judgment, and everyone was impressed by the cake. She also advised us to choose a smaller size based on our guest count, which turned out to be perfect. Overall, we could not have asked for a better caterer for our baby shower. I would recommend Saffron and Spice to anyone without a second thought.

Pizza takes about 20minutes so calling ahead would save you time. They're very nice here. It's a small restaurant with enough tables and although the buffet is small, they serve goat and that's always a favorite of mine. I ordered the XL CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA $32.88 with tax. I would say the pizza seemed a little dry so there could've been way more sauce and the dough is a little heavier for my liking. Overall an average Indian pizza.

Our favorites are the chicken korma, prawn tikka masala, and butter chicken. All three are incredibly flavorful, rich, and perfectly spiced without being overwhelming. Each entrée comes with a side of complimentary rice, which is always appreciated and makes it an easy, complete meal. The portions are generous too. Every container is filled to the brim with sauce, and their garlic naan is perfect for soaking up every last bit. The naan is soft, warm, and has just the right amount of garlic. The food tastes authentic and comforting, with deep, well-balanced flavors that really stand out compared to other places we've tried. You can tell care goes into the preparation. Ordering is also super convenient. We usually order online, but calling in is just as easy, and the process is always smooth. Takeout is consistently ready on time, which makes this an easy choice on busy nights. I've never actually dined in person yet, but I recently heard they offer a lunch buffet, which I'm really excited to try soon. If it's anything like their takeout, I already know it'll be worth the visit. Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable, delicious Indian food with great portions and value. This place is definitely a regular in our rotation.

Great place to catch up with friends or a date night with your special one. Everything we ordered was delicious, but here are the highlights: Fried chicken - crispy, juicy, great flavor. Simple but done really well. Rasa sliders - these are a MUST. So buttery and perfectly seasoned, we were obsessed. White elephant butter paper dosa - another must-get! Super fun to eat and the dosa itself is perfectly crispy. The real move is trying it with all the different sauces, each one hits differently. Duck - loved the balance of rice, meat and veggies. Nothing overdone, just really well put together. Finished with the coconut puma for dessert and it was such a good call. Perfect way to end the meal. Would def come back to this hidden gem

The sliders appetizer was easily the standout and absolutely spot-on (5/5). The butter chicken, however, was underwhelming (3/5) and came with an unpleasant surprise, a hidden piece of red pepper in one of the sides that caused an intense burn. The beef with bone marrow was tasty, but the dish felt misleading since the bone marrow heavily overshadowed the actual beef portion, making it feel more like a bone marrow dish than the beef entrée that was advertised (3/5). The raita was the biggest miss, bland overall, overly salty, and paired with large cucumber pieces that didn't work well (2/5). Service was polite and respectful, but inconsistent at times, with long stretches where no one checked on our table and empty glasses went unnoticed (3.5/5). The atmosphere was definitely a highlight and deserves a solid 4/5. Overall, some flavors were interesting and creative for a first visit, but the experience didn't live up to the Michelin hype or the pricing. I'm glad I tried it once, but I wouldn't rush back.

Their guidance ordering was hit/miss. Prices on their website are old.
