Review from a Nepali here - I can confirm they do a good job with their momos.
I was not familiar with this cuisine at all and this was a good experience. We ordered some pan fried dumplings and French fry chast. The dumplings were perfect and the sauces were delicious. The fries were definitely interesting. I enjoyed them but you have to like what's on top of them. It was like nothing I had ever had on fries before and I really liked it.
I only had the samosas, and they were delish! Idk what’s in that green sauce but it’s AMAZING!
Awesome Momos. You will not find any place with better momos than this. Hope they keep the taste for long time to come :) I will recommend Chicken Momos. Either steamed or deep fried. they are awesome. Also the french fry chat was awesome. Ambiance is great because this place is more like a food court and not a stand alone restaurant. There are many other great options ti eat as well. For the parking, there is a paid 10 parking lot right next to it. You can find parking on the street but the paid lot seemed much safer to us.
I LOVE THESE DUMPLINGS! The food is delicious! We got one of everything to get a full experience and understand the food. Very impressed and the staff was knowledgeable, friendly and timely. I would definitely recommend, especially for a date night or fellow dumpling connoisseur!
This place rocks, and I mean from the food to the service. First off the buzzer they give us very accurate but they move like 2 mins ahead of time usually. The food was really good the buns man lol those things were soft and the chicken inside was awesome. I had the sticky rice with chicken and wonton. Highly recommended 10/10 this say allot seeing how i haven't been on here but had to give MY OPINION ABOUT THIS PLACE.
This place is soooooo good. I got the pan fried chicken momos and fry chaat. Both were very delicious! Fry chaat is my fave way to eat fries now. Can’t wait to come back.
This is the first Nepalese restaurant in Detroit. For a Nepali living in Detroit, i am very happy about their opening. I met with the humble owners, Chef Lama who is Nepali and Louisa. The momo tastes like the ones in Nepal. I am so happy that they open and for anyone who have not been there, GO! You will be hooked.
