If you’ve never tried Nepali cuisine, you’re missing out! Known for its rich, aromatic flavors, Nepali food does have a standout favorite: momos, a type of Himilayan dumpling. Nepali momos, filled with seasoned veggies or meat and typically steamed to perfection, are a beloved street food with incredible flavor.

Nepalese Food is Amazing, But Momos Steal the Show!
We love Nepalese food — and we really love momos. So, imagine our surprise (and excitement!) to find our favorite Nepali dish right here in DFW! Our first momo experience was in Toronto, Canada, at an international food hub that blew us away with its incredible flavors. The moment we bit into our first momo, we were hooked. It was later that we found out that momos are traditionally Tibetan! Yes, it’s true. Momos were introduced to Nepal by Tibetan traders and became widely popular across the country, evolving into a beloved staple of Nepali cuisine. Hooray for fun facts! #OriginStory
To be honest, we didn’t think there’d be a Tibetan or Nepali food joint in Dallas Fort-Worth. I mean, where? It seemed so unlikely. The answer: everywhere!
Most Nepalese and Tibetan food is clustered in Irving, however, there are also restaurants in Frisco, Denton and beyond. All you have to do is pick a spot from the list below. Then, you can stuff your face with momos galore!
Here’s What’s Up Dallas!

Below are three popular momo restaurants in DFW:

Food was very good. The noodle dish was exceptional. I would prefer for the momo to have a little more flavour. Overall enjoyed dinner here. Highly recommend.

Gotta give Cafe Mandu its props! This place serves all different kinds of momos, and it’s a vibe. There are always Nepali music videos playing in the background and lots of chatter. Most importantly, it follows our golden restaurant rule: When people from that culture are eating there, you should be eating there. Check. ✅ Yep! In all seriousness, this spot is great if you’re out late! It’s open until 12am on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 2am on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Amazing! We recommend the noodles and the pan-fried momos.


Kebab & MO:MO

I recently tried the chapali kebab at Kebab & Momo, and it was amazing! The location in Frisco is perfect and much needed. The staff were super friendly and courteous,... read more even though they seemed overworked. The menu options are great, and the prices are fantastic. Kebab & Momo is now my go-to spot for delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommend!

The food is really good. I got the Lamb Gyro Platter w yellow rice and some chicken kebab. The hummus is very good and pita is fresh. The only thing... read more lacking is more of a dine in experience. The sitting area is comfortable but not much to look at.

New zabiha halal spot opened up, and it’s delicious! A new spin on Mediterranean food, adding in a spicy fusion that is really delicious! They just opened 2 days ago,... read more so they’re still a little setting up so we took our order to-go. The chicken gyro wrap and the beef kebab platter was very delicious! I recommend the chicken momo fried version.

This one’s fun because it’s combining Mediterranean and Himalayan flavor. It’s a subtle fusion restaurant. That’s right! Plus, its menu ranges far beyond momos, including actual entrees that provide a delicious, healthy dinner. Be warned: the menu does lean more Mediterranean, but if you love Mediterranean food and simply want to try momos as well, then boom! Head to Frisco and grab yourself a Kebab with a side of momos.
Momo Mobile — Denton

Best veggie momo I have ever had in TX.If you are craving for real nepalease taste of momo and chatpate please go there without any hesitation.

We don’t know what it is about food trucks, but sometimes they have the best food. And would you believe it? Denton has a food truck — open every day from 3:00 to 11:30pm — that’s dedicated to serving up momos and other delicious, Himalayan yum yums. Hand-kneaded dough, fresh veggies, halal ground chicken, and fresh spices — Nepalese food at its finest. Need we say more?

And More Momos!
We could end it here, but we’re not going to. No, for you, we’re going to go the full mile and list 14 other DFW locations serving momos as of November 2024. Here is the master list. You’re welcome!

Now that you know, you know! Momos are a great dish. They’re delicious and fun to eat! You should eat some soon! And don’t just visit the first option we gave you either.
We will always love Cafe Mandu, if only for its late hours, but there are other spots out there, perhaps offering even tastier treats. Personally, we’re on a mission to visit all of the momo spots in Irving, starting with Momo2Go. That food looks Yummy with a capital “Y”. We also found a drool-worthy online recipe, so we might try our luck in the kitchen too! #MoMos #MomosNepalese #MomoDumpling
