The momo is delicious and authentic. The menu is limited- it's all about the momo. It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but that's when you know the food will be authentic and excellent. I had the chicken momo and the bara? Forget the name of that. Delicious and easy takeout option that is affordable in the 's administration's economy! Support an excellent t local business. read more

Loved our takeout from World Famous Momo. In an unassuming spot off Robert street, it's a sleepy Momo shop that was pretty quiet on a weekday evening. What they lack in aesthetic is made up for in taste. The momos are GOOD! Veggie and chicken are equally tasty and flavorful. The spicy momo sauce is delicious. Enjoyed the samosas as well. I would have picked up a lassi too if we weren't eating to go at a brewery right after. They have a simple but sufficient menu. Please check them out! read more

Small family owned restaurant with maybe 4 tables available. Quick service and friendly staff. They answered my questions and even showed me some of the products they used to ensure no animal products. I ordered a veggie samosa and veggie Momo's. Flavor was amazing!! Definitely getting additional samosas next time. I also thought the Momo's had meat in them and after talking with the restaurant, they explained veggie Momo's have a soy protein that looks like meat, ensuring me that the veggie option is stored separately to be sure. I will be back! read more

The vegetable monos were outstanding as were the samosas. They offer both a sweet and a spicy dipping sauce both were good. The mango lassi was delicious. The service was excellent. The dining room was very clean, but I have to say the smell of the cleaning product they use was a little distracting. It's such a sweet little place and so worth a visit. You might need Google Maps to make sure you find the place. read more

Momos were fine, but not really worth the stop. The other items on the menu just tasted like old fryer oil and were terribly bland.

Really good quality food, service, and price! There's a combo that gives you one of each, which is perfect. Best mango drink I've ever had, everyone enjoyed it. Feels definitely like a hole in the wall. read more

This is a little restaurant with about 15 or so seats at 3 tables. What they make are momos: steamed 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! read more

The Steamed Chicken Momo were great. It's a cool little place that mostly does take out, I've never seen anyone eat inside, but you could be the first! read more

Dumplings are amazing. Samosa flavorful. Paratha with potato and pea filling (quesadilla like). Able to enjoy while on the road. read more

Three stars isn't a bad review in my book. It means a place is perfectly fine and worth visiting. With that out of the way, World Famous Momo is a small spot in South St. Paul serving a variety of Nepalese snacks. The menu is small and simple. Unfortunately, the vegetable momo is not vegan as the kindly owners mentioned the interior filling uses butter. But the samosa ($2.75 for one) is vegan by default and tasted pretty good. It was fresh and hand-made. My only small gripe is that they put raisins in it, which adds unwanted sweetness and the unwanted texture of raisins. The bara ($2 for one) is a a savory fried Nepalese lentil pancake and also vegan by default. I liked it a lot. This is the type of snack you want with a cold beer on a hot day. If World Famous Momo had a vegan momo, I'd be back all the time. As it stands, it's a nice spot off-the-beaten-track in a multicultural enclave of the Twin Cities. read more

My friends and I ended up in a part of town were very unfamiliar with in west St. Paul on a Sunday night. Most places were either closing wnd we wanted something quick to take to go. We were hungry and trying to narrow down where to eat and we drove past the sign that said world famous momo. I had eaten momos before and loved them and it didn't take much to convince the car full of hungry people to stop in. Most of the restaurants on the street looked like small hole in the wall type places. When we entered an older man greeted us and was very friendly. He walked us through the menu and I had the combo. It was a great deal got to try the bara, momos, a mango lassi, and a samosa. The sauces that came with were nice like a green minty sauce and the second maybe more of a tamarind. We were the only ones in and I think they were going to close shortly after we left. I enjoyed the momos and samosa had a little kick to it. The couple running the place was so sweet! So glad they were open before we resorted to fast food for dinner read more

Really excited to eat here.. well I mean try the food. The tables were incredibly dirty and I spent time cleaning the table I was at. I don't know when the last time they wiped their tables were. As the different stains were on the plastic table top and were incredibly difficult to remov This makes me a hit nervous about- if they wash their machines, blender, utensils etc. How clean is this place? I will let the health inspector figure that one out but even with the food, I probably would never eat here again even though this is my favorite type of food. The guy at the counter was really friendly. I personally liked the steamed chicken dumplings the most. read more

So happy I found this spot!! Such good Momo + the samosas were beautiful! We both got the combo meal which comes with a mango lassi, 5 momo (chicken or veggie, we got one of both), a samosa, and bara (lentil patties). I thought I'd like the chicken more, but the veggie was wonderful. Seriously so good. Next time we will probably instead order 2 full orders of the momo and then get a samosa each. It comes to about the same price as 2 combo meals, but we didn't LOVE the bara and I prefer to spend my money on food rather than beverage so to me it's worth it to trade in those two things for extra momo! It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall spot, and they specialize mostly in takeout, which I would recommend doing. Especially in the summer...this food is perfect to bring to a park! Easy to eat and doesn't create mess. It was SO good and the owner was really kind and personable. They opened 6 months ago so if you live nearby, go check them out! Highly recommend. read more

World Famous Momo - Steamed Momo and Samosas - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This is a brand new restaurant serving primarily chicken momo, but also samosas and mango lassi. Small menu, but really really tasty! The momo and samosas come with a side of sauce. I think you can also buy frozen momo, as well. There is limited indoor seating and currently they only take cash, but that might change by the time you read this. Highly recommended if you like Indian food! read more

This was 100% authentic Nepali! The chicken momos were delicious, we tried fried and steamed. Even though the feeling was the same the cooking methods did make a difference.The sauces were amazing, try the spicy, Husband told me to stop eating it with a spoon. We tried the stuffed ParnathA bread too and that was very good, came with a sweet chili sauce. I think my daughter would've eaten one all by herself. The samosa was light and crispy, full of filling and not greasy at all. . I really liked the Bara, that was new to me and it was very good. The owners were super friendly and food took about 10 minutes to come out. I would 100% go back and I will. My only regret is that I didn't get the vegetarian Momos as well! read more

The food was amazing!! It was such a cute little place and the owners were very welcoming!! Anyone looking for something unique and delicious should try out this hidden gem!! read more

Amazingly spiced samosa! Steamed chicken momo were spot on and they were made fresh after ordered. Will definitely be going again!

Very good momo! The dumplings were more filling than I had imagined and they come with a delicious sauce! The menu isn't extensive but what's on there is delicious and definitely worth trying. We had samosas and they were as good as any I'd had before. We got it for takeout and I'm excited to go back, especially for the mango lassi. A good addition to Robert Street! read more

Oh my god, so delicious! The momos here are amazing!!! We got both the steamed chicken and steamed veggie momos as well as some samosas. Seasoning is perfect on both kinds of momos: the veggie version are a little spicier of the two whereas the herbs and ginger really sing in the chicken version. Their momos are also a bit larger than the ones at other places in town. You can choose from spicy or regular momo achar (sauce) as an accompaniment. Both are great. The only thing I would warn against is shoving a momo into your mouth as soon as the order arrives because they are scalding hot inside and will burn greedy little mouths like mine. The samosas are also excellent with a nice crisp shell that wasn't greasy or dense and had another tasty well-seasoned filling. Another reviewer disliked the addition of raisins to the samosas but texturally they aren't disruptive at all in the filling and I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness they add. Excellent, excellent place and I look forward to coming back as soon as I can! Friendly nice service as well. Really you should go right away and treat yourself to some of these momos. read more

Yummy momos!! We went here and got everything on the menu. I really enjoyed everything except paratha. I loved the momos and the samosas the best!! We had one fried and one steamed mono and they were both awesome! The mango lassi was good but not great. So happy this place is fairly close to us and an easy drive to get to. The owners are super nice and helpful. Since they cook everything to order either phone ahead or be prepared to wait. It is worth it! read more

Went the other day for lunch and got everything on the menu. I'd planned on saving some for my husband to try that evening but it was too good to not finish it all myself! The owners made everything fresh so give yourself sometime when you go, but it's totally worth it read more

The food is delicious. Their Momos are by far more delicious than any South Asian restaurant in the Twin Cities in which I have tried momos. So fresh and so much cheaper than some other ones that serve stale or greasy food and are so expensive because of their location. This is a mom and pops restaurant and the people who work there are very courteous and nice. The sitting area, however, is not fancy at all and I think takeout is the way to go at this restaurant. I had the combo with momos, Berra, samosa, and mango Lassi and the whole thing was $13 (I had a fraction of that food at another Nepalese restaurant a couple of weeks ago and paid $55! And the food there was so greasy that I could not eat it. This place, in comparison, is far superior.It's close to my cats' vet, so I will be getting food here whenever I'm in this part of town to pick up cat meds, etc. read more

Our family adores them and if we are having company, everybody wants MoMo's. Delicious.

Out of all the other momo places that I've tried in Minneapolis, this is my favorite. The momos were flavorful and I'll definitely come back again. I wish the sauce was thicker and spicier but other than that this place is worth trying. The owners are very welcoming and adorable! read more

We wanted something different than the usual weekend haunts, and took a chance with World Famous Momo. We made our selections and opted to dine in. Everything was delicious, flavors unique and balanced. We were told all of the food was organic, which is nice (we're not picky either way), and the vegetarian options were great. The pictures I've shared don't do it justice, but other patrons' photos are on point with what we experienced. The gentlemen who hosted us were delightful. We would visit again. read more

SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! My sister and I tried both the chicken and the veg Momo, the Paratha, the samosa and the double egg omelet. I have only love and good things to say about this small business and wish I had known they existed here sooner. Also, give me more momo sauce! It's scrumptious on everything. All I can say is that everything we ate was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I CRAVE the flavors from around the world, Nepal especially. This family-run business needs and deserves your support. For the person saying it was dirty - don't leave reviews like that. That's just willfully wielding this arbitrary power over the possible success of a business. Especially since I think you have not traveled anywhere and eaten street food. I found nothing dirty about this business in the slightest bit. Amazingly kind and hard working people serving delicious food. You must give this restaurant a try! read more

I was running an errand today when I came across World Famous Momo, and I was blown away by the quality of the food.

Absolutely delicious!!! The owners were kind and courteous, and very polite!! Would recommend to anyone looking to diversify their palette!

This is a great option for takeout with delicious filling food. The combo meal is a perfect size and includes all the best items on the menu. The only downside is that there is a limited menu but each item is delicious. read more
