    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!

    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 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 !

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hands down the juiciest dumplings ever. Take a bite and meat juice is spraying and dripping down your chin onto the table. The dumpling skin is so smooth and the meat (I get chicken) is super flavorful. I cant handle spice but Momos are worth it. Both the tomato based sauce and curry based sauce are packed of flavorful spices. My favorites the pan fried and curry momos. The curry momos have a spicy tomato taste and I am heart eyes over it. I dont get the point of the deep fried momo, cus it makes the skin too tough? But to each their own All in all, its no frills but TastyMoMo still has a decent variety!

    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.

This is due partly to another party ahead of us not leaving promptly, but I think the restaurant could have been ready ahead of us as well. I will admit that I enjoyed the ambiance - it had nice low lighting with contemporary decor which made a nice dinner spot. The service in terms of both the waiters and kitchen did not feel timely either. It took a while for drinks to arrive and there were barely any water refills in general. We ordered four different dishes on our side of the table and they were somewhat bland. The vegetable momos definitely need some kind of sauce since they were lacking in flavor. We also got a curry chicken thigh, beef noodles, and butter tofu. I think only the beef noodles had a good enough flavor profile and kick to them. I was also surprised that the portion sizes weren't close to what you would expect for the price. I think with so many good south Asian spots in the area, it's hard to recommend Martsa. I might consider coming back if I learn that there is a particular dish that I am missing out on.

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!

The dipping sauce was good as well, possibly a mint-like flavor. The pork momos were really good too, with nice crimping on the skin and decent fillings inside. The chicken vindaloo was decent, though I might have liked more specificity to the flavoring of the vindaloo. The potatoes were nicely textured. The chicken bites were a bit large, they could have been chopped up a bit. The gorkhali khasi (a goat curry) was fairly decent with tender nice pieces. The flavoring was oversalted and again could have used a tad more definition. The bone-in aspect was appreciated as it held the flavor of the meat. The bhindi masala (okra) was fairly successful with a solid infusion of flavor into the okra. The dish was overall too oily though and some steps need to be taken to minimize the oil. All in all quite enjoyable!

This time around, Surya have leaned into their heritage and gone completely vegetarian; they are now the only completely vegetarian restaurant in Cambridgeport. My vegan bestie always appreciates the wide selection of offerings when she comes to visit. Adding dosa to the menu may have been their smartest move yet. Dosa Factory in Central Square closed during the pandemic and never reopened. Surya rightly filled in this gap, offering not only dosa but every kind of Indian snack you can imagine. The old menu was mostly filled with heavy foods eaten at a sit-down meal. All the old favorite vegetarian/ vegan entrees are still there, but now you can order much lighter fare like dosa, uttapam, and idly with all manner of toppings and fillings. They've repurposed their small sitting area with hi-top tables and tall bar chairs, making the interior of this little spot more elegant than it's ever been in any iteration since the greasy spoon that was there when I moved here in 2008. Now the space is still welcoming, but more geared toward customers wanting to stop for a yummy snack and continue on your way. The options are a bit dizzying, but Surya did this last time they launched a new menu and seemed to streamline the selection after getting a sense of the most popular items. I've tried a couple of different dosa-- one with the classic Pav Bhaji Masala filling and one with a fave of mine, Baigan Barta. The wetter filling of Baigan Barta did make the dosa soggy and require use of a fork and knife even though I picked up the dosa promptly and I live right around the corner. As the crispiness is one of the elements that make dosa so appealing, I think I will stick more to the classic toppings. But there are so many of them, it will take me a month or two to try them all! I also had a paneer and tomato uttapam, basically an Indian pancake. When breakfast for dinner is on your mind, reach for a yummy uttapam! Both dosa and uttapam come with chutneys and sambar (lentil soup) that's way more flavorful and veggie-packed than Dosa Factory's ever was. It's spicy but not so much that you can't pick up on the umami flavors. The usual desserts like mango lassi and Kheer are still available to cool your palate after the meal. Of course it's all served with Surya's characteristic friendliness and good humor that you'll only find at a family business. I have yet to try the Indian Chinese offerings, but I've heard good things about this fusion cuisine. After I've tried a couple of dishes, I'll post another update!
