Mantra Momos, Old Baneshwor – A Flavorful Feast for Momo & Noodle Lovers!
Mantra Momos in Old Baneshwor is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic, soul-satisfying Nepali street food. While their name highlights momos, this unassuming spot also serves up some of the most addictive kima noodles in town—a dish you cannot miss!
The momos here are legendary—juicy, perfectly spiced, and served steamed, fried, or in a lip-smacking jhol (soup). The kothey momo (crispy on one side, tender on the other) is a crowd favorite, but their kima noodles steal the show for noodle enthusiasts. This hearty dish features chewy noodles tossed with spiced minced meat (buff or chicken), fresh veggies, and a bold blend of traditional spices. Every bite is a burst of umami, with just the right kick of heat. Pair it with their tangy homemade achar (chutney) for an extra flavor punch!
Beyond momos and kima noodles, the thukpa and chowmein are solid choices, but the kitchen’s mastery lies in balancing simplicity with bold flavors. Portions are generous, prices are unbeatable, and service is quick—ideal for a quick lunch or a late-night craving.
The vibe is casual and no-frills, focusing purely on the food. Located in bustling Old Baneshwor, it’s a go-to spot for locals and a must-visit for travelers seeking authentic tastes. Whether you’re here for the momos or the kima noodles, Mantra Momos delivers a delicious, wallet-friendly experience that keeps you coming back. Don’t leave without...

I'm reviewing the momo mantra in Gywali Marg, so be assured that I reviewed the...

Ambience and service were really...
