We arrived there on a Saturday night , 40 minutes before closing. We ordered Mango Lassi, Chicken Tandoori Momo, Chicken Butter Masala Momo and Himalayan Tornado Fries. Service was great, the staff were friendly. The place is clean and has a nice atmosphere. Food quality is superb. Even though it was 40 minutes before closing, everything came fresh and delicious. Great portions , the food was better than expected. We have had similar experiences like this in different places, but could be one of the best Nepalese food we’ve had so far. Our rating was the following:

The BEST NEPALI FOOD PERIOD. And this is coming from a Nepali person. The choila and momo here is out of the world. The best authentic Nepali food outside of Nepal.

Great little place for exploring a whole new cuisine: Himalayan! Counter service. We bought WAY more than 3 could eat just to try things. Very veggie friendly, but chicken versions were also available. “Medium” did it for us, but you can kick it up or down. No alcohol, no beef, but one goat entree. Here’s a bad picture of the storefront and sidewalk seating. Park in adjacent garage for $3 for 2 hours.

Came here with a group and had the luxury to try out a bunch of different momos, my favorite is the butter chicken in the red creamy sauce. The people there were super nice and sweet, and don’t forget to get the mango lassi to pair with your momo!!

My good friend introduced me to The Momo World today and I was so happy I had a chance to try their momos! As cute as they sound, they were good and tasty. Also, surprisingly filling! I think two of you can share one plate of momos as there are 10 of them !! The owner was nice and helpful in explaining the menus too, and told us the levels of spice and taste in detail. Try the plain lassi too if you can

Good interior & relatively fast service. I Like their plain lassi. C-momos were the best & thn chipotle momos. I hated the look of tandoori momos. They used red food coloring way too much. Guava juice was good. Parking is available nearby on street. All in all it wasn’t so busy.

Best momo in chicago area. Travelled from Schaumburg to have different momos and it was worth travelling 45 mins drive. My friends from India loved it too. I wish there was similar momo place in schaumburg area too.

Where do I start start!? I’m a huge fan of momos and when it comes to finding halal momos in IL, it’s tough! When I found out these guys had halal momos, my husband and I booked it downtown! We got the Butter Chicken Momos and their C-Momos. The Butter Chicken was delicious and super saucy (we love gravy/sauce). The C-Momos were spicy and very flavorful (probably my favorite). Portions are nice and big so it’s nice to order to share with someone (or not cause it was hard for me to share – they were so bomb!). The staff was nice and willing to explain their very fun menu. We ordered samosa as a starter and chai after the food. Everything was so delicious! Over all, you won’t go wrong ordering anything from their menu!! A must try if you are craving some momos!
