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!

Below are three popular momo restaurants in DFW:
Cafe Mandu

We had to wait for a long time but eventually, the food was good. The ambiance is pretty good, however, the cleanliness needs to be improved. If you want some... read more Nepali taste, this is a good place for that

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

We used Kebab and Momo as caterer for a birthday party at our home and were so happy with their service. The momos and chicken/kebab wraps were so delicious, all... read more our guests loved them. They delivered on time and the owners were so nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place and are so glad we found it!

Upon entering, our noses told us we were somewhere legit. This place is a brand new, family run little gem. The staff are so kind and helped me place our... read more order and make all of the selections for toppings and sides. The food is made fresh while you wait and takes about 20 minutes. It was worth the wait. (They also have a website where you can order online if you want a to-go order and don’t have time to wait). We got a chicken kebab plate with feta and white sauce with sides of hummus and chickpeas, and a beef/lamb gyro plate with tomatoes, feta, potatoes, white sauce, and more hummus and pita. The yellow rice was light and aromatic. The chicken kebab was fresh and nicely spiced, while the beef and lamb gyro was mild and flavorful. Everything was delicious. They offer several different sauces and I’d love to try them all. I’m eager to go back and try the Momo dumplings too. They look amazing. Anyone who enjoys a traditional gyro wrap can find one here, but do yourself and favor and try a kebab plate too. You won’t be sorry. I’m already dreaming about my next visit.

good food, we are regulars here and swear by momo’s and other dishes .. you can not go wrong.

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

Momo was very tasty and good ❤️

I recently tried the fried rice at Momo Mobile in Denton, and it was a pleasant surprise! The rice had just the right amount of seasoning, with a smoky flavor... read more that really brought out the freshness of the veggies and tender pieces of chicken. It wasn’t overly greasy, and the portion size was perfect for a filling meal. I also had the chicken momos, which were deliciously juicy and well-seasoned, with a dipping sauce that added the perfect kick. To top it all off, the mango lassi was thick, creamy, and refreshing, offering a great balance to the spices in the meal. Definitely one of the best street food experiences I’ve had in Denton worth a try if you’re in the area.

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
