    Found this spot which is Nepalese food establishment that looks to stay authentic! The dining area was super clean, well organized with utensils napkins etc all on the counter. They do have TVs but i think it's for promotions and music videos. Now on a fiery hot day i can tell you their AC wall unit is an ice box. The temps dropped with the rain today so it was freezing for us to dine in (I'm sure they would have adjusted the temp) but we didn't want to make them go out of their way. The owner and staff were super nice. It looked like the food was cooked to order and hand made. So be a bit patient, still it didn't take that long maybe 15min but felt longer cause we were cold. We got the Momo's of course and decided to try the pan fried version. I thought the pan fry could have lasted a tad longer to make the momo wrap a bit crispier to hold when eating haha but not a big deal. The pork filling tasted fresh, my preference would have been nice with a tad more seasoning in the pork mix. The sauces they give you, the dark red is a spicy sauce and the orange/yellow is a very TASTY sauce. I'm not certain what the sauce is but it went great with the momo! Take a bite, and get some that sauce inside for the next bite. Would order again in one of their other versions! We also got the chicken chili, pictures looked good. Now i was kind of expecting it to be similar to Thai Crispy chicken basil, but it was like a hybrid of that and general gau chicken. There was a nice hint of a spicy kick to it with the onions and peppers stirred in. The sauce was good overall. I believe they used all white meat chicken for that dish for those that prefer that. Myself, i like thigh meat for these type of dishes but again just a preference thing! Will be back when in the area! Thank you!

    I have been itching to try momos and today, we decided to make the trip to Somerville to try! **There's plenty of meter parking outside on the street. The inside of Tasty Mo:Mo is super clean and they had the air conditioning blasting, which was great since it was an extremely hot week but it got unbearably cold while we were waiting for our food. We decided to try the Kothey (pan-fried) pork momo & chicken chili. Both dishes tasted fresh and it was a pleasant experience. This is more of a take out spot than a sit down dine in, I would say. The Kothey pork momo had good flavor and the dipping sauces they give, did not overpower the momos. The chicken chili reminded me of General Tso's chicken. It was yummy and had good flavor but not what I expected for the flavor profile. They used chicken breasts for this dish. It had a nice kick to it but not so spicy that it made my nose run haha. This was my first time trying Nepalese cuisine and I would come here again !

    Steamed Chicken Momos

    Really love the portion size and the flavor here! Have picky eaters in the family but everyone loved the food. Vegetable Curry was delicious! So flavorful and so perfect with the rice. No complaints at all! Steamed Chicken Momos - really big and good. We got eight in the one order and they were all really large as well. Definitely very filling. Not a fan of the sauce on the side but the momos didn't really need them. Goat Curry - amazing! Mutton was very tender and so perfectly cooked! Meat pretty much fell off the bone. So good. Large amount of pieces too (and good ones. Not just bones) Chicken Curry - also very good! Lot lot lot of chicken, and lot of flavor. Not too expensive and worth the price!

    I found this place on Yelp when I was staying at a relative's in Sommerville. This place was so good, we went back again for a second time during this 6 day visit!! The employees were friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable of their menu. We ordered: chili fries, steamed vegan Momo, Kothey Momo vegan, fried rice no egg Everything was delicious. I can't speak for "authenticity" since I'm not Himalayan but the momos here were honestly the best we've ever had in all our momo-eating days. The wrapper had just the right amount of bite to it and the filling was juicy and plump, stuffed full of veggies. The chili fries were only okay since they got a little soggy by the time we got home with our takeout but they were awesome when we dined in later that week. The Kothey Momo wasn't our favorite only because it took trying it for us to realize we want steamed momos to dip in the sauce ourselves. The fried rice was aromatic and full of flavor. We ordered no egg for me, the vegan, so know that that is an option if you are vegan and want fried noodles or fried rice. I'm definitely going to come here again when we return April 2024.

    It was our last day in Boston and I am a huge momo (dumpling) fan and it made absolute sense to stop by this place! This is a small traditional nepalese family run momo restaurant. There is reasonable seating inside. We placed an order to go since we were getting late for our flight back to Seattle. We ordered their chilli chicken momos, pork jhol momos, chicken chowmein noodles and EVERYTHING was delicious inspite of having tasted it 8 hours after being freshly made in their kitchen. The flavors had depth and were authentic. Their spice levels are awesome too so folks be aware. The service was great and several folks (especially students) line up for togo orders here. If you pay cash you get a discount (this was way back in Oct 2022 though) All in all this will be a place I highly recommend for dumpling lovers in Boston and I will frequent it whenever I am here.

    My first time having Nepalese dumplings and everything was delicious!! The service was great and the food was flavorful. The sauces on the side were also tasty and I was able to try them with the different dishes. I dined in, but I'd definitely get takeout in the future. You can eat in the restaurant, but it is on the small side. I got lucky and was able to get a table. Can't wait to get food from here again.

    Overall mixed feelings on the food. Loved the pani puri, hard to find decent pani around here. The momos seemed a bit bland, but they've never been my favorite, and the sauce they came with was quite good. We also tried the indo chinese chicken and noodles, which were fine, but also slightly on the bland side. Note that this isn't the place for a nice sit-down dinner--it's primarily takeout (with high volume!), has limited seating, and the service is accordingly slightly brusque. This is clearly a neighborhood go-to for a quick takeout night, but go elsewhere for a date.

    Yummy dumplings momo in Somerville. Pan fried and steamed momo are v good, better than deep fried. Pork is more flavorful than beef. Nice juicy fillings with good amount of meat. Casual eatery with 6 tablespoons, a popular for take out.

    We ordered take out for Valentine's Day :) All the momos were yummy! I suggest eating the momos at this eatery when possible. Since we ordered take out, the fried momos were slightly harder - not giving that steamed softness. My favorite momo type is the jhol momos. This dish comes with a yellow jhol sauce, which you dump on your momos to soak in before eating. I have had better chilli chicken but this version was pretty good!

    I thought this place was fine. It had so much promise, but it did not deliver. It was an alright place... Maybe I'd give it 1 more try in the future, but as of right now, not my favorite. The food was alright. I got the Chili Momo and Samosa... Chili momo was a 3/5 and the samosa was a 2/5.... I don't like the chili sauce, very flavorless and the dumpling itself was underwhelming. I think the worst was the samosa. I didn't know what to expect because I've never had a samosa before but its just chunks of potatoes in a baked hard dough. Oh well! Service was awkward too. I came and the cashier told me to get a menu myself... so I had to walk up to the cashier to get a menu, and I ordered in front. Then i finished eating and i went up back to the cashier to pay... awkward dining experience. Ambiance was weird too because I was the only one eating in at the restaurant during noon. Small, dark spot... Not sure how to feel but maybe I'll give it another try and eat something else

    Jhol Momo (8pcs), Chips Chilli, Mango Lassi, Gulab Jamun, Specials
    Mei B.

    I was very excited to try Nepali food but I felt a little let down tbh. First of all, I thought I was getting a special shrimp momo but I ended up getting chicken curry so that was very strange.. The chips chili were missing the chilies and the chicken pan fried momo my boyfriend got was ok. My mango lassi was in a takeout container which was odd, I was surprised and a little confused in how to drink it. Regardless, it was good, thick mango yogurt. The gulub jamun was a lil underwhelming also, tasted like dunkin' munchkins in a syrup :x Overall, it seems like a nice place, but our experience was a little underwhelming.

    See all

    How are you with allergies? Peanuts, tree nuts in particular

    Except for Jhol sauce, everything is good to go. Thank you.

    The website says gluten free coming soon. Any idea of how soon?

    Hi there, we have been making dough out of few different seeds , however the dough hasn’t come out right. With this covid, we didn’t put a lot of effort as well. As soon as we are successful, we will update you. Thank you.

    Is the chicken served here halal? A friend of mine told me it was, so I was just wondering

    Yes It is Halal. Thank you.

    I'm intolerant to garlic and onion. Will I be able to eat the momos there?

    3/16/20 I asked the owner and she said if you call ahead a week in advance, they'd be able to make the dish without garlic or onions, as they prep their dishes as per their usual menu daily and at times weekly.

    Didn't have a ton to eat here, but everything I had was delicious. Service was attentive, warm, and…read morefriendly, which added to the great experience. The restaurant was comfy; there was an electric fireplace on the wall which made the room feel homey. We got fried pork momos, which were delicious and juicy. I was interested in trying the C-style, but we had a non-spice eater at the table. I got the pork chili from the appetizer menu and garlic naan for my meal, and my companions got the chow mein and sekuwa. The chow mein looked standard and sekewa was grilled chicken served with puffed rice (looked like rice krispies). Everyone was happy with their meals, but I especially loved mine. There were slices of pork belly in a flavorful sauce with tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Note that the pork belly still has the skin on it (which I personally love). My only complaint was at medium, the food seemed mild, but I'll be clearer of my spice preferences next time. I would definitely come back specifically for the pork chili!

    First time trying Nepalese food. This story tells us why some cuisines aren't popular (in China)…read more.. Papad: A complimentary crispy snack served before the meal. A combination of the texture of Mexican tortilla chips and the flavor of Indonesian shrimp chips. As someone whose ancestors migrated to Indonesia (half Hakka), I've eaten shrimp chips since childhood, so it felt instantly familiar. The condiments were tamarind sauce and pickled onions. The former was rich, thick, and refreshingly sweet and sour, strangely reminiscent of Cantonese roast goose with plum sauce, a perfect match for the crispy snack; the latter also had a predominantly sweet and sour tomato flavor, but the subsequent strange taste and spiciness of the paprika was too much for a Cantonese person like me. Mango Lassi: Absolutely delicious!!! Lassi is Nepalese yogurt, with a very smooth and delicate texture; the sweetness of the mango was naturally rich and not overpowering, not masking the rich sourness of the yogurt itself. Writing this review, I finally understood why I loved it--it's basically a yogurt version of Hongkongese mango pomelo sago... Mo:mo (Steamed) - Pork: Nepalese version of xiaolongbao小籠包 (soup dumplings). The filling had a moderate concentration of spices, allowing you to taste the meat's natural flavor; however, the skin near the bottom had cracks, so there were no soup. The dipping sauce, Achar, was interesting, with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, the spiciness of garlic and ginger, and a hint of nuts, making it overall refreshing. However, what might be hard for Chinese people to understand is that steamed buns are supposed to be eaten fresh out of the pot, so why was the dipping sauce cold? Reheating it at home with the sauce made it much more palatable. Nepali Thaali - Goat: The standard vegetarian option included lentil soup (Dal), curried potato and cauliflower (Tarkari), stir-fried vegetables (Saag), pickled radish cubes (Achaar), long-grain rice (Bhat), ghee, and a slice each of white radish, carrot, and cucumber, plus an extra serving of goat curry. In short, it was a bunch of spice paste with rice. I won't judge whether it was good or bad; I just really didn't like it. The spices were extremely complex and intense; towards the end, I even felt dizzy and questioned my existence, completely disoriented by what I was eating--it felt so strange, like something that shouldn't exist on Earth... The Dal seemed to use more mung beans than lentils, with a slightly burnt and bitter aftertaste; both vegetables in the Tarkari were overcooked, but the curry itself was rather weak and bland; the Saag seemed to use mustard greens, similar to stir-fried greens in Chinese cuisine but on the oilier side, with dried chilies that only added aroma, not spiciness. The curried goat meat, however, was quite good, savory and rich, the meat's flavor finally making it taste less like herbs. Muttering to myself: Each has its own beauty, let's all appreciate beauty together...
