This was my first time having Momo's and let me tell you.. My jaw was on the FLOOR. This restaurant is absolutely incredible! The food PACKS a punch, full of flavor and spice. It was so delicious that I had to return the following week and I brought a different friend. The hospitality is also great, the waiters and waitresses take good care of you. Would totally recommend to anyone wanting to try new and good food! 10/10.

Not from city but went momo ghar with expectations since It was my first time in city but it was so disappointing. Atmosphere was good. Service was somehow ok but the food I can’t explain everything was so oily. Lapping was over cooked with lots of oil and soya sauce, momo was so cooked and it’s jhol was like jwano ko jhol if ykyk noodle was oily but better then other foods we ordered.

This little place is going to grow bigger. There was a long waiting list when I went by, so I got take out. The service was great, too. He made suggestions because I wanted to try something new. It is below ground, so make your way down the stairs and add your name and number and party size to the wait list if there is one. There isn't any other way down, so this may impact mobility challenged individuals. It is fairly small inside, too. There's lots of options and everything was great. The sauces were tasty, and some were kinda spicy. I would like to try other momos next time. Great place to go with friends.

Went Thursday, July 17th, 2025 We went to Momo Ghar on Parliament after watching a YouTube video that showcased their food being made fresh to order. In the video, Luke Martin featured the restaurant in his 24 Hours of Toronto episode. It showed the chef, Sonam Pontsang, preparing everything by hand right there in the kitchen. Luke and his foodie buddy Clement were sitting down, raving about how flavorful, fresh, and delicious the food was. We tried several different types of momo. The first set arrived within 10 minutes of ordering, which set the tone for a subpar experience. The wrappers were chewy and a bit tough, even though they were steamed. The fillings were disappointing. The tandoori momo with chicken didn’t taste like tandoori or chicken at all. After sitting for a few minutes, the wrapper separated, revealing a beige-colored, pressed-together mash that was supposed to be chicken meat. It was impossible to tell if it was meat because it had no identifiable texture or flavor. The “butter chicken momo” was also very strange. Again, we couldn’t tell we were eating chicken. The taste was flat and artificial, almost like a microwaved version of something you’d expect to taste rich and savory. The beef blood appetizer sounded interesting, but there was no way to tell it had anything to do with beef or blood. The flavor was flat, chewy, and forgettable. Same story with the ribs. They were soft in texture but dry and flavorless. It felt like they had been warmed up from earlier packaging. The only item that was remotely palatable was the “Tibetan Laping,” with crunchy bits of what looked like raw ramen noodles on top, cilantro, and other unidentifiable stuff in the middle. Even that was a 3 out of 10, mostly because it didn’t try to distract us with chili flakes and mystery meat textures. When I asked the server about freshness, he first said the momos were made the day before at their Bloor Street location and delivered to Parliament Street. The chef wasn’t there. Then he changed his story and said they were made that morning. Either way, they weren’t made to order. And they definitely weren’t fresh. We left most of the food behind. There was nothing worth savoring. It’s disappointing to be misled by what looked like genuine food prep by the chef (who is also the owner) in the YouTube video. What we got instead felt like reheated bulk food with cheap filling and minimal effort. Only go here if you’re okay with mystery fillings and food that tastes like it was made yesterday.

I was craving delicious, warm momos during our chilly visit to the city and this adorable little restaurant more than exceeded my expectations. The server was welcoming, the restaurant is so charming and the food was incredible! So full of flavor, depth and warmth. It reminds me of what a perfect home cooked meal in winter should feel like. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to have some more momos!

⸻ A Perfect Spot for Desi Momos Lovers! If you’re craving momos with that authentic Indian twist—flavorful fillings, and a desi street-food vibe—this place is definitely worth a visit! They offer a great variety: • Steamed Momos for the classic taste • And even Gravy Momos for those who love something saucy. Ambience: Simple, casual, and made for comfort food lovers. It’s not about fine dining; it’s about good food with bold Indian spices. Service: Quick, friendly. Definitely recommend it for a momo fix with an Indian punch!

A really fantastic and unexpected meal from the ‘secret menu’ at Momo Ghar.. the chef here is such a nice guy, passionate about his food and customers.. his food is inspired by his travels and I would try anything he put on his menu!! Came for the Momo, but stayed for this phenomenal Tuna Nocoise Salad!!

Went to Momo Ghar with a friend to try Tibetan cuisine for the first time. This place is a gem. The restaurant is authentic & inviting. The service was great, the waitress answered our questions clearly. The wait for the dishes was longer than expected but totally worth the wait. The food is delicious. We ordered Jhol chicken momos and cabbage momos. 10/10!!

It's been two years since I last visited this place. The last time was right after they opened, and I remember I liked the hominess of the Momo's. Today I ordered (take out) - Steamed momo (pork) - Pan fried momo (beef) The taste of the filling was gooooood. But I felt that the wrapper was not as homey as before - too smooth, the special texture of hand made vibe that I felt last time was not there today. The same for the filling. Also I would have enjoyed the juice more if the skin was not torn - the juice was running out into the container. It's unfortunate, as the filling's and juice's taste were very good. May be I should revisit for eat-in. Yes I should. Something addictive in their Momo's lol!

This was one of the best momos I have ever had in my life. The decor definitely needs a renovation, but let's start with the momos we got the chicken tandoori momos, the beef jhols, chicken kurkure momos. The service was really good, the best dish here was the jhol momos, the momos were so juicy, and the sauce was perfect balance not too spicy and had the perfect acidity. They have a variety of momos to choose from, the tandoori chicken momos had a perfect balance of spice and the chicken was tender and melts in your mouth. The jhol momos were my favorite, and the kurkure momos were so juicy. This place is a small place but makes delicious food.

Sonam and his team are extremely hard working and talented! They push out the best momos in city! So many different flavours and fillings - they also corporate catering. Dynamic duos Sonam & SuperMom delivered our office catering and even garnished off the noodles and momos on-site. Teams enjoyed every lasted bite - we can't wait to order again!

Their momos are actually quite good, amazing flavours and good quality ingredients packed into a neat little bite. Portions are very reasonable too. HOWEVER, they are terrible at following instructions! I asked for no chilis as it is way too spicy for me and was disappointed twice (they managed it once so I know for sure it's possible). I feel that this is not an onerous request given that all they need to do is literally not put the chilis on top...so, removing a star from my rating.

I'm going to admit I got influenced by an IG reel, but boy was it so worth it! I saw a south Asian influencer reel about Momo Ghar and the momo looked delicious! My friend and I came here for an early dinner on a Thursday evening. It was not as busy at the time so we were seated promptly. Inside it is very cutesy decor. The service was nice. They have an extensive menu with specialty momo and regular momo. As well as non-momo menu items. We got chilli fries, Jhol momo, and butter chicken momo. For drinks I got a masala coke and my friend got pop. The masala coke was delicious. Im sure it was coke with some black salt/mint/ chat masala but it was such a unique yet simple combo. The momo were absolutely delicious. Steamed to perfection, the sauce also did not disappoint. 10/10. We got Jhol in beef and chicken tikka in chicken. Each plate came with 8 momo and there was sufficient food for the two of us. The total came to around $60 before tax for two, which is such a great deal! Highly recommend, hands down best momo I've had!

An awesome place to try some unique and flavourful momos in Toronto's east end! The place had a great ambiance and such a cozy vibe. There's seating for about 15 people total in the restaurant, so if you plan on coming, be prepared to wait. The service was alright--only two waiters were tending to the customers. The menu is simple, but has enough food options that you'd be curious enough to come back to try more. I tried the classic beef steamed momos and Tandoori momos (with pork) and both were absolutely delicious! The flavour on the steamed momos had a hint of citrus and were super juicy. The Tandoori momos were served on a steaming hot plate and were nice and spicy.

Momo Ghar, located along Parliament near Wellesley St., is Cabbagetown's hidden gem for Tibetan and Nepalese food. I've heard plenty of good things about Momo Ghar but never had the chance to try it until recently. I usually go to Parkdale for my momo cravings but was excited to try other places within the city as well. I stopped by on a Tues afternoon around 2pm for a late lunch. I figured the restaurant wouldn't be busy...but I was wrong. It got progressively busier and the place was full by 3pm! Food wise, I ordered: - Steamed beef momo (8 pieces) - Steamed cabbage momo (8 pieces) - Mango lassi The restaurant indicates that the momos do take 16 min to make after ordering. In regards to the momos, the beef momo was delicious! The momo wrapper was light and more delicate than other momos I've had before. The filling of the momo was flavourful where steam would come out as soon as you bit into them. The sauces that accompanied the dish weren't overpowering. The cabbage momo was also delicious as well - I enjoyed the crispy chili on top of the momos. Overall, the spice level of both momo dishes didn't overpower the momo itself - I was able to handle the spice but you can also ask for the sauce to be on the side instead. I wasn't able to finish two whole plates of momos and took some home for later. Overall, service was friendly and the food was delicious. The place is a bit small (seats only ~25 customers) and the momos do take a while to prepare. However, you'll definitely be feasting on some pretty delicious Tibetan/Nepalese food here!!

Best momo you could find in downtown Toronto! Second visit here. It might be a bit spicy for people have low spice tolerance. I like the decorations of the restaurant. The air conditioning isn't working well. It's really hot that I felt unwell. Be aware of it. Service is normal.

Deep Fried Momos: this SLAPS as well Definitely put Momo Ghar on your list cause this place is a staple for a reason

Our meals itself were good however they had a lot of staffing issues which caused extreme delays in food and paying. There were several seated tables waiting 20 mins just to order. Luckily we had time to wait but some tables were waiting ~40mins for the food. The place is small, I wouldn't necessarily come back since I've have similar tasting momos near me however if you're in the area, it's worth eating if it's not busy!

So delicious! We happened to walk by and were looking for somewhere to eat, ordered momo beef and pork and chicken noodles all were so good. Get the sauce on the side if you aren't okay with full spicy.

Toronto is a good foodie town, and a cultural melting pot. We met people fr Afghanistan, China, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Tibet, Turkey and Ukraine, just to name a few. When I saw this Nepalese place that specializes in momo (dumplings), and that it had positive reviews, I had to check it out. Momo Ghar (Dumpling House), is in Cabbagetown. We tried beef pan fried momo, pork steamed momo and aloo chaat. First of all, the beef momo were big and filled w/ nicely seasoned meat. They gave you sauces for dipping so you could tailor it to your heat preference. Likewise, the pork momo were moist and filled w/ heartily seasoned pork. In addition, they were large. Lastly, the aloo chaat had nice crispy potatoes, and was a good contrast to the momo. Regarding the ambiance, its a small place that you have to walk down a flight of stairs to get to. We almost didn't see the entrance fr the street. Our waitress was super nice and helpful with the menu. Many cultures have dumplings, and I am a big fan of Nepalese momo after this experience. The food is hearty, nicely seasoned and you can make it hot if you like. The forgoing combined w/ a quaint location, and very good service, made for a great intro to Nepalese cuisine.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Momo Ghar, and it was an exceptional experience. We tried a variety of items, including Tibetan Laphing, Tandoori Momos, Jhol Momos, and Crispy Momos. Each dish was a delightful burst of flavors, but the standout for me was definitely their Tibetan Laphing. It was a perfect blend of textures and spices, and I couldn't get enough of it. To accompany our meal, we had their Masala Coke, which was a unique and refreshing drink that complemented the flavors of the momos and laphing perfectly. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive dining experience. The decor reminds you of Tibet. If you visit Momo Ghar, please go before 8pm to avoid waiting queues and do yourself a favor and try their Laphing and Masala Coke; they are a must-try. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to savor authentic and delicious Tibetan cuisine.

We ordered the Jhol momo (chicken) and it was delicious. Also got the mongo lassi but were disappointed as it tasted like Shrikhand. Would definitely come back again for the momos. Expect to wait ~15 mins for the momos order.

Great little spot for Tibetan/Nepalese food. Most of the menu offering is momos but they have some interesting appertizers. Went on a Sunday afternoon around 3 and the place was packed. We lucked out as one table just became empty but expect a wait. We got laphing as our starter. It is rolled dough dosed with vinegar/chili sauce and the filling is fried onions and broken down instant noodles I think. It was spicy and mouth watering thanks to the vinegar based sauce. A great starter. For our main, we got the jhol beef momos which is Nepalese style. The momos were juicy and piping hot and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. The prices were extremely reasonable. Would love to come back to try other items. Service was a bit slow but there was only one waiting staff so that might be why.

One of the best Momo's we've tasted in Toronto and so glad it's not too far. The jhol Momo was delicious and took us back to the jhol Momo we used to enjoy at Momo Ghar in Columbus. The real surprise and amazing Momo's were the chili Momo's. It had the same spice as the Indian chicken 65 but in Momo form. Absolutely loved it! No pics because it was gone too quick! Can't wait to visit this place in person when the weather gets better. Highly recommend the soulful, flavorful food from this place on a cold night to keep you warm and fuzzy.

Finally got to eat here. Came in just before dinner time and we were happy we got there early cuz the place filled up fast. Decor isn't spectacular but it works. They keep the tables clean and organized; it's quite a welcoming place. The service is a tad slow but it doesn't really matter because they have beer to drink, and the food is worth it. We ordered the cauliflower bao to start and it was seriously so good. Expertly cooked cauliflower, juicy pickled onions, and spicy sauces; exactly what I was looking for. There was space between the dishes, maybe a bit too much but once the food arrived I forgot about the waiting. Next was the chow mein; it was interesting, the noodles were kind of like a spaghetti but with curry spices etc. The best part of the meal was the momos. I have never had better momos than this place. The sauce was so spicy and good, the momos explode with flavour in your mouth. I would recommend this place if you are in Cabbagetown. If you like Nepali/Indian food, this is definitely the place for you cuz it's legit af.

Brought my Tibetan boyfriend here for some authentic Tibetan and Nepalese food. He and I were completely satisfied with the food. We got the Jhol Momo, and the soup was delicious. We also tried the steamed chicken momos. I recommend the chicken more than the beef. We also tried the mango lassi which paired super well with the spicy of each of the dishes. The chili fries are also super spicy and addicting I get them every time I come to this restaurant. We also got Tibetan laphing (highly recommended!) and Gyuma Tibetan sausage. The service is also super fast and the waiters are very generous. Love the restaurant decoration as well, my boyfriend was super happy to be there. We will be back again! ~

Ordered in from here a few days ago. My friend and I got the butter chicken momos, chili cabbage momos, and pan fried mattar paneer momos. The butter chicken ones were really tasty, the chili cabbage ones were really spicy (of that's what you're looking for), but the mattar paneer ones were really bland. I was just disappointed cause I was hoping for more flavor.

Good food and ambience. However, seating could be improved. Although, it goes with the actual theme of Tibetan restaurants. In mountainous regions, generally sizes of restaurants are small with tables placed nearby. I would recommend laphing for those who love spicy food. Their sauces are great. Some other recommendations include their cabbage momos, bao, mix veg steam momo.

Glad to have tried this new Himalayan/Nepalese restaurant this evening in Cabbagetown. We were greeted and waited on by Norbu, he was happy to explaining the menu to us. Started with Beet salad & Chili fries followed with Steamed Beef Momo with a spicy sauce, Steamed Pork Momo with House sesame sauce and finally decided to give their Pan fried Chicken Momo that also came with House sesame sauce. These were the best Momos we have had so far in Toronto. Freshly made in-house, the momo skins were light, moist the fillings were tasty. This restaurant is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood. The place was packed while we were dining in; appears to have a good takeout business as well. Looking forward in returning, to try the other items on their menu.

I've really been wanting to try Momo Ghar for a while. I split the butter chicken sauce momo (mattar paneer), tandoori momo (chicken), and kurkure momo (pork) with my sister, and it was very filling! Each plate came with 8 momos and were $18 per plate. The tandoori and kurkure momos were pretty salty, but all of them had a very delicious and distinct flavour! The restaurant is very small, and they don't accept reservations for small parties, so expect a waitlist. We arrived around 7pm, and got our table at 8pm. The restaurant gets pretty hot too, as if there's no air conditioning. Service was a little slow, but that's mainly due to only two waitresses working. Regardless of the slow pacing, the service itself was still pretty good. The big bottled water we got was very dirty, which threw us off, so we decided to order canned pop instead. I would give the food a 4/5, but the overall experience a 3/5. I would totally get their food again, but it would be better to just order for delivery!

Delicious, fresh-made momos! I stopped in to get takeout last Sunday night. The staff were friendly and warm, it has a really welcoming family vibe, and the food itself was great! I got an order of steamed beef momos and another of steamed cabbage momos; both came with two sauces (the spicier one is my favourite). Everything was delicious, and I can't wait to go back. I meant to take some pictures, but totally forgot once I got home and started eating :) They've only been open for a week or so, and I hope they stay a long time!
