    Pani puri
    Ha N.

    Ambiance- nice cafe like restaurant. Kind of small but they can accept larger group. Service- great service and good recommendations. Food - so flavorful!!! I love the spicy Pani Puri. The ones I've had are Indian which had some different spices. Absolutely love the momo in the broth. The flavors were out of this world. The chowmein was good but the other two were standouts for me. I definitely need to come back and try the branzino. Nepalese food is so rich in flavors and it's a welcome addition to Fairfax.

    The food here is amazing! I am a big momo fan and have been looking for a good spot in NOVA to have them, and I think I finally found it! Their Chilly Momo is very flavorful and is cooked perfectly. I tried Jhol Momo for the first time and it has definitely become my new favorite. The "soupy" base tastes spicy and has a deep peanut flavor, which honestly pairs really well with the momo but also with all of the other dishes we ordered too. Lastly, I loved having the tea with the Alu Chop -- it would make for a great snack in the morning/evening. The waiter was very attentive and nice. Although the restaurant has minimal seating, it was pretty easy to get a table right away during the week at lunch. Can't wait to be back again!

    Wow Nepal stands true to its name! The service, the food, the taste - everything is just wow! The flavors were truly scintillating--bold, vibrant, and layered in a way that instantly reminded me of home, yet with a unique Nepali twist. Coming from an Indian palate, I found the spice profiles incredibly comforting yet refreshingly different, leaving a lasting impression. You can really taste the authenticity and the care that goes into each preparation. The chilly momos, in particular, stood out--juicy, flavorful, and paired beautifully with their tangy sauces. Every bite felt like a celebration of Himalayan cuisine. Majority in our party including kids were vegetarians and we found a lot of options that we could order. The panipuri is different than what one would expect in India yet very refreshing. The Chana Chapati was chaat flavors, the fried rice was a STAR(I have easily term it as the best fried rice I ever had). We also had several other dishes like Aloo Chop, Noodles, I believe veg Thukpa and a few others. It's vegetarian heaven! Of course the meat dishes are amazing as well ! If you enjoy Indian food and are looking to explore something familiar yet excitingly new, this place is a must-visit. A hidden gem in Fairfax bringing a beautiful slice of Nepal to the DMV! MUST GO! Lot of Vegetarian options!

    I walked into Wow Nepal as a full-on Nepalese food virgin and walked out wondering why it took me this long to discover this cuisine. This place absolutely lives up to its name. The food is authentic, bold, comforting, and somehow still approachable even if you've never had Nepalese cuisine before (hi, that was me ‍). From classic Nepalese snacks and dishes, to clever fusion items like fish or chicken tacos, everything felt thoughtfully made and packed with flavor-- not watered down, not intimidating, just really really good. It's a fast-casual setup, but don't let that fool you--the quality punches way above its weight. Perfect for a quick bite, a relaxed meal, or even catering (which I can already tell would be a crowd-pleaser for literally any group of humans). I'm not Nepali, but if you're looking for what feels like a genuinely authentic Nepalese food experience--without needing a passport or a culinary glossary--this is the spot. Every dish felt welcoming, soulful, and made with pride. Bottom line: Whether you're Nepalese, Nepalese-curious, or just hungry and adventurous, Wow Nepal is for you. I came curious. I left converted. Highly, highly recommend.

    Good portions for the price point. Good amount of meat/protein too. Spice level was great and it can go higher for authentic eaters. Must try. Very very good. Space is limited but otherwise one of the best Nepali restaurants in the DMV. Service great. Self seating type Chowmein chicken noodles 5/5 Momo app 5/5 Thukpa chicken soup 4/5

    If you're craving authentic Nepali flavors, this restaurant is a true gem. Reasonable pricing, friendly service. Good ambiance.

    t's been a long time since I last visited Himalayan Wild Yak, and I realized I never left a review…read more We went for dinner this past Friday and headed straight to the bar. The bar area is big and spacious, and usually sitting at the bar means better, more attentive service. The place was mildly busy, so I expected things to run smoothly -- but that wasn't the case. Right from the start, the bartender wasn't very attentive. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order. For appetizers, we tried the Goat Buttan and the Wild Boar -- we wanted to explore some of the unique delicacies on the menu. Both dishes were interesting, and the Goat Buttan and Wild Boar were actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, the service continued to be an issue. We had to flag the bartender again just to order our entrées and even for simple water refills. We ordered the Mutton Taas and the Yak Chili. The Yak Chili was very good, but the Mutton Taas was extremely dry -- like eating cardboard -- and lacked flavor. Throughout the night, our bartender was constantly absent. More than once, we had to ask another bartender to get his attention so we could get basic service. After finishing our meal, we ordered a dessert, the Gulab Jamun. The presentation looked nothing like the picture -- more like a sloppy drop of pudding -- and the taste was just as disappointing. And again, we had to flag down another bartender because ours was nowhere to be found. Service overall was lackluster, and the tip options started at 20% with no 18% choice. For the level of service we received, 15% would have been more appropriate. I won't be returning anytime soon unless I'm specifically craving their unique delicacies -- which is once in a blue moon.

And I'm sad we did, because the food was NOT good. We ordered - Impossible meat momos 3/5 - they were okay...not the best and not the greatest. The flavor was hiding and the momo did not stay in tact at all. The sauce that they served alongside did not enhance the momo at all. Veggie momo 3/5 - again, they were okay. In fact, I think these were worst than the impossible meat momos. Didn't seem like there was any flavor and just veggies mushed together with salt and pepper. Raita 3/5 - way too liquidy for my liking. I thought they would at least provide rice, but no. So it was just basically liquid yogurt with a couple of strips of cucumbers and carrots. Paneer chili 0/5 - the container literally said 'paneer chili' and after 2/3 bites, I asked my friend if this was actually paneer because it was kind of chewy? Of course it wasn't and it was chicken!! I'm vegetarian so I was so disappointed that they put the wrong item in our order, especially since the container explicitly said paneer. This morning I woke up with a terrible stomachache. The food definitely did not sit right with me. I'm definitely going to skip this place and try Moh Moh Licious next time.

It's inside a Liberty gas station right off Little River Turnpike (used to be John Mosby Highway), and from the outside you'd never expect there to be a hidden gem there. I tried the steamed chicken momo, chili chicken momo, and fried chicken momo. My favorite was probably the steamed chicken momo, but the other two were still interesting to try. There's also a Krunch Chicken connected to the momo spot, and honestly the fried chicken was my favorite part of the whole meal. It was super juicy and reminded me of Jollibee because the seasoning actually had flavor on the inside too, not just the outside. I got the 3-piece combo which came with a side of your choice, and a sweet biscuit for around $13. The gravy was super hot which i really liked and the biscuit reminded me of cornbread because of the texture. I spent around $50 total for the three momo orders and the chicken combo. I'd definitely come back for the fried chicken, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for the momos again. Also, the gas station itself is kind of like a mini 7-Eleven -- they sell snacks, beer, wine, ice, etc.
