Steamed Chicken Momos
Ten hand-folded dumplings filled with seasoned ground chicken, scallion, ginger and our house herb blend. Served with roasted tomato achar.
Steamed to order, never frozen — Himalayan-Asian plates served with warm American hospitality.
This month's most-ordered plate. Messy, brilliant, worth the napkins.
Four fillings, one obsession. Each basket is folded in our kitchen the morning you eat it and steamed the moment you order it.

The Kathmandu original — spiced ground beef, red onion and toasted cumin, steamed until the filling turns juicy.
Napa cabbage, carrot, shiitake and fresh cilantro folded in a silky wrapper. Light, clean and endlessly re-orderable.
In 2007, the Gurung family opened a nine-seat counter with a single bamboo steamer, a hand-written menu and a recipe that had never been written down at all.
Aama refused to let anyone cut corners: the wrappers get rolled by hand, the filling gets seasoned by taste, and nothing goes in a freezer. Nearly two decades and three kitchens later, we still fold every momo the same way — because the shortcut version was never the thing people fell in love with.

I have eaten a lot of dumplings in this city and these are the ones I think about on the subway home. The jhol momos are unreal, and the staff actually remembered my order the second time.
We do the Family Momo Combo every other Friday. Four people, thirty-two momos, zero leftovers. The kids fight over the cheese and corn ones.
As a vegetarian I usually get one sad option. Here I had trouble choosing. The paneer momos and the ginger tofu bowl were both excellent, and nothing tasted like an afterthought.
