Thamel Momo Hut — Restaurant in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

This is the first restaurant we went to after landing in Nepal. We looked up local momo shops in Thamel and it came up as one of the first few recommendations. The food takes a really long time to arrive ‘cause it’s made fresh. We could see the cooks prepare it in the back. Barasinghe Beer - a locally crafted beer which you must try when in Nepal Steamed Mix Vegetable Momos: (5/5) insanely delicious with a super spicy yet flavorful chutney Steamed Chicken Momos: (5/5) super flavorful Jhol Mix Vegetable Momos: (4/5) I could have bowls and bowls of this. Just amazing!

The restaurant is not cheap at all. For a really shady looking joint their prices compete with any well established, more hygienic and better looking restaurants. I’m not complaining but this is just an observation. Our server/host there was a beautiful lady who had an infectious smile and that made our experience...

We told them we want sweet lemon soda. They bring us salty ones. We assume it was a mistake no problem. We ask them to bring a sweet one and that this one was salty. They again bring a salty one. I even tried mixing it just to be sure it was not just salty due to being unmixed. Once again I give them feedback being very clear in both English and in Hindi “we want one that is sweet and does not have salt, we do not want salt.” AGAIN they bring us salty. We decided to drop trying to get them to make the order correct and I decided to just get a canned drink. The beverage options were limited especially non-alcoholic. I thought that okay the drinks are terrible but maybe since this is a momo place the momos will be the main thing. The momos were mediocre at best. Not returning again even if I could. Oh and the price is not...

One of my iterinary was to dry different Local MOMO Restaurant in town.

Location: is along Thamel Street only opposite of Baskin Robbins.The signage was visible and clear.But there is one difficulty for me to get inside the restaurant,no direction where was the stairs located or how to go up.Even local neighboring shops down the building didn't know where is the way going up.

Food: was great,I like the texture of MOMO.And it's my first time to try the Garlic and cheese momo.Their chutney sauce is amazing,not too spicy for me.

Cleanliness:Good enough.

Service: isn't that wow for me.But aslong I saw server smiling.

Serving Size: quantity was great you can choose five or ten pieces.

Cost:Value for money is good enough.

Overall...
