It took a while to decide what to order because everything on the extensive menu sounded good. Everything we selected was delicious! We ordered chicken momos with its Nepali tomato sauce, garlic and basil tandoori naan, lamb korma with its wonderful cashew curried sauce, and ginger coconut masala with fish sautéed in an onion, ginger garlic, tomato-curry sauce. These were accompanied with basmati rice. Everything was delicious! The korma and masala dishes were not only full of flavor but were thick and substantial -- not like dishes elsewhere which were more soupy in consistency. And the portions were generous; we had leftovers afterwards to take home for one more meal. Go and try it out for yourself! I'll be returning over and over again.

We ordered an Americano and an iced dirty chai. Both were great. The woman behind the counter who served us was friendly and efficient. An added plus: the price of the coffee is very reasonable, especially given the quality.

We went through 3 wipes. The food tasted like thawed out and microwaved breakfast. Actually microwaved grocery store breakfast would have been better.

Well better late than never I guess as we finally made it here and simply loved the food! I got my favorite when it comes to Indian cuisine which was the Chicken Vindaloo. It was wonderful! Steve liked his dish as well (though I can't quite remember what it is)! We got some Garlic Naan to go along with our meal. It was huge! But we chowed it down and loved every moment of it! From the bar which I think is called the Yeti Bar we got some Saffron infused cocktails. The one I picked was the Madras. It wad very good and this type of vodka added a great, unique dimension to the cocktail. We loved it! We to finish off this great meal we got some dessert with some deep fried goodness along with some cream. Yes, we had a fantastic meal here and really went all out by trying everything.

We were really just going in to see what they had... and somehow that turned into an order. You know how that goes. Titi was the one preparing our food, and she was amazing about my gluten-free needs. She actually got everything new in the kitchen to make sure there was no cross-contamination. Because of that, we had to wait a little longer, but honestly, I didn't mind at all. I'd rather wait knowing they're taking it seriously and I can actually enjoy my food without worrying! She asked what level of sauce we wanted, and I confidently said medium. She also gave me some mild on the side... and apparently she knew something I didn't. Listen, I eat spicy food, but that medium was NOT medium. That thing was SPICY! The dumplings were really good, and now I definitely want to go back and try the beef and chicken ones too. The portion was actually pretty good as well. One order was enough for hubby and me since we weren't very hungry. If we had gone in actually hungry, though? Yeah... we definitely would've needed two orders. Super down to earth restaurant. great experience, and I really appreciated how seriously Titi took the cross contamination issue. For someone with celiac disease, that means a lot. So yes I will be back ;-)

I found Kathmandu Momocha as a pop-up at this year's Folklife Festival in Seattle Center. A quick…read moresearch revealed they have a physical location, too. Learned something new. We tried their chicken momocha, steamed dumplings, 6 pieces for $13. Unfortunately, they were only lukewarm. They had a long line; I suspect the dumplings are not getting reheated for long enough. I know they are all fully-cooked/steamed and brought here to be warmed and served, so I wasn't concerned about food poisoning. Each momo is well stuffed, densely packed and meaty (much better than the momo food truck in Tulalip) with a pleasantly thin skin. Overall quality of the momo is in fact very good. We are only disappointed that they are lukewarm. The medium sauce is excellent. The pop-up menu has less options compared to the physical restaurant and cost more. The same chicken momocha, steamed dumplings cost $14.95 for 10 pieces if the online menu is accurate. That is a much better price. I still want to try their pan-fried version. Those look good.

The momos from this Indian-Nepali restaurant (kitchen?) had been something I've heard things about…read more So when I came up here, I was quite excited to give them a shot. Not exactly sure what to get, we ordered the momo combo, the malai momos, and the tandoori momos - all chicken. These did more than live up to the hype. They're simply the best momos I've ever had. The sample size on that isn't huge, as I've only had it from about three or four different places, but these blow those other places out of the water so much it's crazy. The quality here is simply spectacular - every kind of momo present is so delightful to consume. The level of marination on each of these is highly impressive. The momo combo comes with sandheko, steamed, chili, and fried types. Each of these are awesome. The fried momo has a great crunch without being overly bready. It reminds me a little of a turnover, but savory. The sandheko momo is dripping with a nutty, oily flavor. The chili momo isn't super spicy, but contains just enough for your tongue to feel that it's there - and it has a beautiful deep red color. The malai momos are also awesome. These are nutty and creamy to the max - drenched in sauce yet the dough still stays firm on the outside. The combination of flavors with the chicken feels like it shouldn't work, but it just does in a way that's purely addicting. Out of the three orders though, my favorite has to be the tandoori momos. These are plump, juicy, and the reddish brown exterior feels like they actually were cooked in a tandoor. They're the only ones crispy on the outside, yet the chicken on the inside stays the same level of soft and juicy as the other ones. I should mention how good the filling - despite being ground chicken - is. It tastes better than a lot of the pork filling I've had in other dumplings. We also had the garlic basil naan, with tomato achar. While the achar wasn't my favorite as it felt too liquidy, the naan was quite soft and enjoyable to even eat plain. Also the momo sauce wasn't my favorite either as it felt too tomato-forward. Each order was around $15-17, which for 10 pieces, I'd say is a decent enough price. Overall, I find it hard to believe that these momos will be topped anytime soon. 9.15/10

The combination platter is a great option if you want to try different dumpling flavors. I especially liked the chicken filling. It tasted fresh, flavorful and delicious. I also tried their Chowmein which tasted really good and had the street style flavor which I was expecting. They have a good variety at good prices, which definitely impressed me and I hope they don't raise it as they get more popular. The service was polite and friendly and there's plenty of seating. The only downside is that the location isn't the greatest, but the restaurant itself is nice and comfortable inside. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their momo.

We went around 6pm and were able to find parking and no line for ordering. We ordered fried momo, steamed momo, chili momo, and butter momo. Took about 15 minutes. Young man at the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful with our questions. The chef is from Nepal I believe and he's kind and a wonderful cook! Chill momo was the of the show. Bursting with the flavors and spices. Each momo is coated. You'll get onions and bell peppers as well. This was my favorite of all the momo. It is spicy-ish, but everyone's spice level is different. I love spice so this I'd recommend to anyone who also enjoys spicy foods. Butter momo would be the closest to first place for me. I'd suggest this one for someone who doesn't want spicy. Similar sauce to the curry that comes with butter chicken. Sweet and creamy. They give you plenty of sauce and it's delicious. Fried & steamed chicken momo were wonderful and classic. Our friend who dined with us is from Nepal and said she believes this might be the most authentic place for momo. our/her other momo spot is Indian-Nepali kitchen. This place also had fried rice and chow mein and a couple of other options that we will certainly be back for to try. You won't regret coming here, there's no bad option on their menu and you'll leave feeling happy and full.

Vindaloo came with rice and I would try 4 star next time. Zesty as listed in the menu is spot on. Love it! I was worried the momos (10ish) would just be standard dumplings and was pleased with the ingredients before trying the sauce which complimented them nicely. The dish would be an excellent appetizer to share for 3-5 easy. I would have ordered a smaller portion but maybe I missed it. Take home it is! Big enough place for several groups and the tables are spaced so it doesn't feel crowded. I arrived towards the end of the night so not busy, but still several parties. Prompt service, cozy lighting, and casual pop sounding music at conversation volume. Part of Lake Forest Park Town Center, there's plenty of parking. Temperature was a bit warm for my liking but not a distraction.

I would love to see them offer a cooking class on one of their closed days to teach people how to make delicious momos. We finished off the meal with some yummy chai teas.

When you arrive parking can be a bit difficult, there is a small parking lot out front, if that's full you'll need to find street park. The restaurant itself feels warm, casual, and bustling. Queen you walk in you have the option to sit on the backyard patio or in the dining room. We opted to sit in the dining room as it just felt more intimate and the vibe we were wanting for dinner. For our appetizer, we started with the Samosas (Two crispy pastries filled with your choice of freshly mixed vegetables or delicately spiced lean ground beef) which were excellent. Next we ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken. The naan and samosas showed up piping hot but the chicken tikka masala & butter chicken were cold. I probably should have said something as I was disappointed but was too hungry to care at that moment. If I'm in the Seattle area I may stop by Taste of India again.
