Fusion momos with inventive flavors like tandoori, taco, and chaat
"A fast-casual momo spot offering fried or steamed dumplings in various newfangled combinations, including tandoori, taco, and chaat as well as chile, cheese, or sandeko with chile paste, mustard oil, and roasted soybeans." - Caroline Shin
"If you're a momo purist, avert your eyes. But if the sound of taco momos sounds intriguing, check out Momo Crave, a tiny, fusion cafe in Woodside known for its creative takes on the Himalayan dumplings. The taco momos are fried and topped with black beans and avocado, but we always end up ordering the tandoori momos, which are served on skewers with onions and peppers. They’re the perfect start to a food crawl through Woodside. " - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim

"Woodside is chock-full of momos, but you’d be hard pressed to find tandoori or taco momos anywhere except this sunny cafe near the 69th Street station. This “fusion” cafe is known for its inventive takes on the classic Himalayan dumpling style, and the momos here are among the best in the city. If taco momos sound gimmicky, think again, because these deep-fried, black bean and avocado-topped dumplings are a hit. " - neha talreja, nikko duren
"Momos are obviously the main attraction at this Nepalese mainstay in Woodside, but don’t sleep on their chicken or veggie kathi rolls: a thick roti containing thoroughly seasoned chicken tikka, or vegetables coated in a gravy of sweet and spicy sauces. Momo Crave’s rolls are large enough for you to make a meal out of just one of them, and at that size, nabbing one for under $7 is a steal." - neha talreja
