Ordered chicken chowmein, chicken jhol momo, chicken spring roll, and chicken chilly momo. The food was delicious and full of flavor, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Really loved the chilly momo. Service was quick, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a wonderful place with great food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere.

I tried their pan fried vegetarian momos and was disappointed. The filling was not good and the momos were very oily.

Nepalese momo in central Ottawa?! Finally!!! 🇳🇵🥟❤️ Couldn't be happier to have randomly stopped in here (at 9pm on a weeknight, since most of this village is already in bed..) only tried the chili and pan-fried momos, but they were delicious. Very filling, flavourful, and reasonably priced. Tough business location, for some reason ... but I hope more people will stop in and take a walk on the Nepalese side! Order dumplings instead of stupid shawarma! These guys are from Nepal, try something new. They make amazing dumplings (momos). Ottawa needs more places which bring authenticity from parts of the world's food and culture for a change. I'd love to see this place do well. Thank you so much for a little reminder that there's still hope for this town.

Really good food, finally a very good authentic Nepalese / Hakka place to eat in Ottawa. I would highly recommend this place. The only thing confusing but about this restaurant is they sell burgers, Shawarma and fries, honestly I think they shud stop selling these, I ordered Steam Chicken Momo, Chicken chowmein and Chili chicken with rice, and every single dish was amazing, the service was also very good.

They keep changing owners and the name we never know what to expect . Sadly our last visit wasn't a pleasant experience . The prices are pretty high ..the food was mediocre..dry chicken .. The front was a mess * guess they are still renovating * I had to hunt someone down to pay our bill. We had 2 different waitresses..so didn't know who to tip. Wish the original owners stayed:) I don't recommend this place . We will ge looking for another restaurant to get our shawarma platter. The front steps need fixing ..easy to trip on There's NO handicap push button to go through the two doors to enter the establishment. So its difficult to enter if your in a walker or wheelchair..or a stroller.

As a food girlie I'm always trying to find a gem. This restaurant was the perfect place for a hearty dumpling craving. The service was so welcoming and pleasant. They made sure we were very comfortable. The food was a great balance of spicy and savory with a great curry dipping sauce. I would 100% recommend.
