Momo Nepalese Kitchen in Edinburgh, City of

Best Buff Momo in town. Taste was authentic Nepalese. Food service was quick. Recommended to everyone.Had a great time.

Came from Portsmouth to visit Edinburgh, saw this place on uber eats and thought to give it a go, we ordered veg chowmein, kothey momos and nauni masala curry. Enjoyed momos with the dip alongside and veg chowmein was desi style with perfect spices and the nauni masala was to die for. Enjoyed every bit of it. Had a chat with one of the owners, lovely people and lovely place. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!!!!!

The best place to have desi aswell as nepalese food.

Absolutely amazing food and service.

Very very good food. Tried Dal Tadka and Haravara Chicken Tarkari and both were delivered hot (via Deliveroo). Great taste and generous quantity! PS: This is coming from an Indian :)

Absolutely amazing food and service. I had to order for a big group on Saturday for 2pm and the owner was generous enough to accommodate us even though they open at 5pm. It was very easy to communicate and the order was completed accurately and very timely. 10/10 would recommend and would order again!

We visited this restaurant by chance today, as our hotel is nearby. The food was absolutely delicious! We were a bit overwhelmed by the menu but the staff was super nice and they explained everything to us and gave us some recommendations. We went with the Buffalo Momo (highly recommended!), chowmein chicken and lamb tikka. The food was freshly prepared and really tasty. We can’t wait to try other dishes!!

Tasty Authentic food and very attentive friendly staff

Great momo. One of the best and most authentic in Edinburgh

Wir sind durch Zufall dorthin geraten, weil das Restaurant, in dem wir essen wollten, keinen Platz mehr hatte. Die meisten lassen sich das Essen von dort liefern, aber wir haben uns dort hingesetzt und waren total begeistert von dem Essen. Ich habe die Spezialität des Hauses, das Momo Essen genommen und fand es unglaublich lecker und frisch zubereitet. Nun sitze ich wieder in Deutschland und finde es total schade, dass ich dort nicht mal eben bestellen könnte. Ich würde es garantiert machen und kann es nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Auch die Bedienung war super nett.

One of the best Nepalese retaurants I’ve had in Edinburgh. Most authentic momos you can find in this area!

Such tasty food!! My favourites were the C momo and bhindi bhaji but everything was great with lots of flavour! Thanks a lot :)

Wow! I think this is possibly the best food we have had in Edinburgh. Highly recommend a trip to Momo! You guys should start a full on restaurant !

We had arrived in Edinburgh and were famished. Saw this beautiful Momo place nearby. What a lovely atmosphere! The food was amazing. We ordered a buff momo and chicken biryani which was out of the world. Thank you for the amazing food!!

Got a delivery. The chow mein was 10/10. Everything was tasty.

This is the best, most authentic taste of Kathmandu I have found in Scotland. And they are very friendly, with efficient service. -Amatya family

Although mainly a takeaway and delivery place, we had something in. The staff was really friendly and accommodating and the food was tasty.

Tried momos and chowmein. Tasted very fresh and authentic. Enjoyed the food

Visited this restaurant for the first time today and was blown away by the quality of both the service and the food. I didn’t really know what I wanted and the gentleman at the counter gave me lots of advice and recommendations. I ended up going for the Kothey Momo, Namche with Chicken (curry) and a side of egg rice. They even altered the spice level for my curry! Everything was super flavoursome and fresh. I can’t actually describe the flavour of the curry, but it was so unique and comforting with plenty of chicken. Whilst waiting on my order I was given a complimentary cup of chai tea which really tied this whole experience together. I will definitely be going back, and can’t wait to try other items!

Extremely disappointed. Placed an order through Uber Eats, order seemed to be confirmed and waited around half an hour (expected wait time) for the order to then be cancelled as the restaurant was busy. This is the second time I’ve tried to make an order and for it to be cancelled due to a busy period, and I won’t be trying again. Edit: I was later contacted by Uber Eats stating that the restaurant would like me to re-order the same evening if possible as they now have capacity, after we had already taken business elsewhere. Surely this is a poor practice?

Never got to try the food as they took an order on Uber Eats and then cancelled it half an hour later, hours before they’re due to close. If you can’t handle delivery apps don’t have them instead of messing customers around.

Food was delicious and good portion sizes. Will be ordering again soon!

Had a meal in here this evening, wish I had came in a long time ago but I thought it was just a takeaway, I asked the guy if I could sit in and he said yes, they have 2 tables and a bar area that can sit 3 on stools. The food was lovely and the staff were all very friendly, the place must be highly regarded locally as the place was busy and the other table for 2 ended up sitting in and ordered 3 meals to share, and 2 ladies sat in at the bar stools and had a sit in meal. Keep up the good food and service, thank you.

Fantastic quality and decent value as well, we tried most of the momo varieties and they were all very tasty. Bindi (okra) was huge and saucy for a side portion, and the Choila chicken was tender white meat in flavourful sauce. Everything felt almost homemade! Definitely a repeat performance.

Really appreciated their hospitality tea. 💞 one of best tradition. Food quality was really good and delicious.

A very salty biryani with pre-prepared carrots. peas and sweet corn. Dry reheated Perwari naan. Chilli paneer with a few “squeaky” rubbery paneer. Nothing like as good as it was a few years ago. New owners? Really poor.

It’s a small store, several seats, five of us enjoyed some amazing foods. Fresh and very delicious, highly recommend!

This restaurant experience was incredible! The staff was so nice and the food was amazing. It was so authentic and smelled and tasted immaculate. The food may take a bit to get there but thats how you known its fresh. Its a slightly small restaurant but its very reasonable and definitely below average for price.

Best spot around. Delicious and friendly

Tiny little shop with savoury dishes! I went there to have some vegetarian momos, and ended up ordering another plate plus couple of main courses! 😄 The food is delicious, and the prices are great too! I also wanted to try their Noodles but sadly couldn’t due to less time in Edinburgh! Maybe next time 😁 I’d highly recommend Dal tadka!!

Nepalese kitchen is excellent in both food as well as service.The staffs were very friendly. Highly recommended!!!

Wee little place that surprises you with its bombastic flavours and great prices! We ordered in three sets, against our plans, because we couldn't get enough. Great momos, thukpa and naan and dal tadka!

Amazing food and service, we didn’t want too much spice in our food and they altered it accordingly. I ordered the c momo, it was delicious! Its a takeout restaurant but there are a few seats to dine in. Prices ade reasonable and I love that they had many vegetarian options. Complimentary tea is another great thing about this place, I will definitely order again. There is also a 15% discount if you order directly from the restaurant.

Delicious, very affordable food and friendly staff!

I tried Chicken Momo. It was delicious, especially sauce.

Delicious fried Momo - the perfect quick, affordable and tasty lunch. A really cheery welcome and a complimentary cup of home made, warming and spicy Chai while I waited for my Momo. Will be back for Mo in a Momo!

Friendly staff, absolutely delicious food (probably the best Chicken Korma I've ever had??), and you definitely get a lot for your money. Love this place!

Have ordered from here a few times and it never fails to disappoint. Really like the vegetable Momos and Bhindi Bhaji. Last night we ordered to collect and a part of the order was missing. They went the extra mile to call and apologise and personally delivered the remainder of the order. Very impressed they went the extra mile to ensure we got our Friday night dinner!

This place's food is amazing! It also very cheap and the owner is such a nice host. It is a bit small to dine in but it does accommodate max 8 people dinning in at one time (it is kinda a take away but they have some seats and tables). But that should not scare you away as the food and hospitality more than makes up for the small size... I highly recommend the place and try the momos, even if you just do take away...

food was fantastic I want more

We went with few friends and we tried different think from the menu. We love it !All plates are delicious and particularly the mono are amazing!!!staff really friendly! Definitely we will come back !!!

Very tasty food, but far too much ghee/oil in it for my liking. If you guys can cut down on the ghee/oil in the take aways then I will use you regularly. Friendly fast service. Keep up the good work but siphon off the ghee/oil, and you will get 5 stars from me.

Very tasty food, great service. Highly recommend to anyone who likes tasty food.

The buffalo momo was delicious, service was really good and friendly staff. Would visit again.

Randomly stumbled upon this gem after hiking Arthur's Seat. Tried the veg cMomo, veg chowmein and kothey chicken momos. Each dish was absolutely delicious! I've never had momos as good as these outside of India and I'm glad we took a chance on this. Would gladly recommend this place if you're on the hunt for some excellent Nepalese or Indo-chinese food.

The food is awesome - delicious and flavoursome, especially the momos. They have a large menu, lots to choose from, and vegetarian / vegan options too. The owner and staff are lovely. 100% recommend.

Amazing steam momos and chowmien. loved the taste of the momos...it was spot on!

Watery dal. Uncooked potatoes. Made a complaint and was offered the same food. Asked for a refund which was agreed but never made. Momos were okay but have had better

We wanted to take the bus home after hiking through Holyrood Park and found this by accident. We had a lovely evening! Thanks for the warm welcome, the hospitality and the great food. We'll be back to have more momos as soon as we're back in Edinburgh :)

Amazing people, Amazing food, best price, quantity and quality was superb. Many varieties to choose from and one of the best authentic momos spot u can find. Its a hidden gem. U can take away and sit in. Throughly enjoyed this place waiting for another visit❤️🥂

I recently ordered from this restaurant via UberEats and savored their delicious momos with special cMomo preparation, along with choila and more. The flavors were reminiscent of authentic Indian street food, the ones we people abroad miss " the spicy street side momos" satisfying my spicy cravings perfectly. The staff understood my preferences and delivered exceptional service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking flavorful dishes and attentive service.

Authentic Nepali food in Edinburgh. Ordered through the website directly and it was delivered really fast. Would recommend everyone to give it a try if you wanna have Nepali Food

This spot is fabulous for dining. Awesome place with good food. Great customer service. Highly recommended ! If I ever visit Edinburgh I will grab Momo from this place.

Lamb was not freshly cooked and naan bread was very rubbery. Won't be using again.

Insanely oily with a centimetre or more of oil covering everything. Once that was mainly removed the lamb meat was inedibly tough. Second time ordering here and now I wouldn’t recommend.

Best momo’s tried, never had this good experience anywhere in uk.Authentic Nepali taste loved it.. please do visit, its worth it

Best hub for momo in Scotland, I have tried momo from many nepalese restaurant in the UK but the momo from this takeaway is just wowww… Truly Nepalese taste👍👍

There was just a small delay assigning a driver but I'm grateful to him for climbing all the stairs to deliver to my flat😅 The food is so so delicious though, momos especially were absolute fire!

Food was never delivered by just eat after waiting 2.5 hours. The restaurant staff eventually delivered. Very very bad service by just eat.

Amount was low, quality was bad & taste was pathetic 😔

Amazing place ! Great staff and more importantly; lovely momo! They also have buff momo 😍 all 3 of us loved it !

This was some of the best curry and momo I’ve ever had! We had the dal and it was just the best, so well cooked and flavoured. Such a great spot with great food - many options and good for vegans too. Very friendly staff. Can’t recommend enough

An amazing place to have spicy and delicious food!!

Noodles were very oily and salty. Not prepared well

Came here for the first time tonight and loved it. The vegetarian jhol momo was delicious, as was the lamb naga - good portion size, amount of meat and flavour! Service was excellent, food was hot when we picked it up and they even gave us a Christmas card 🥰 writing this review before we even finished our food so you know it’s good!

The food is always excellent. Best Indian/Nepalese food in east Edinburgh. The Kathmandu curry & chilli mushrooms are👌

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Momo Nepalese Kitchen! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and authentic albeit on a smaller side, setting the stage for an incredible dining journey. The staff were not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about Nepalese cuisine, guiding us through the menu with helpful suggestions. The food was beyond exceptional—each dish bursting with authentic flavors and made with the freshest ingredients. The momos were a highlight, perfectly steamed and filled with deliciousness. Their buff momo was simply out of the world. Just like the ones i remember from the streets of kathmandu. The variety of dishes offered something for every palate, showcasing the rich diversity of Nepalese culinary traditions. Moreover, the service was impeccable. The staff's attention to detail and their genuine enthusiasm to ensure we had a memorable experience truly stood out. The portions were generous, and every dish was presented beautifully. Overall, Momo Nepalese Kitchen is a gem that embodies culinary excellence, top-notch service, and an inviting atmosphere. It's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Nepalese cuisine. Can't wait to return for more of their delectable offerings!

I recently dined at Momo Nepalese Kitchen in Edinburgh, and it was an exceptional experience. The cozy ambiance, coupled with the warm hospitality, created the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal. The menu boasts a delightful variety of Nepalese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. I highly recommend trying their momos – they are simply divine. The staff was attentive and provided excellent recommendations. Overall, Momo Nepalese Kitchen exceeded my expectations, earning a well-deserved 5 stars. I’ll definitely be returning for more culinary delights.

We Tried Buff Momo, rice, Alloo tama and king prawns. Everything was soo delicious. I love spicy food, and the level of spice was soo good. The atmosphere and the service was amazing. I would highly recommend this place.

I came here during the fringe and got some buff momos. They were excellent and brought back so many nice memories and overall made me very very happy! I promised the very kind owner to call and give feedback on them but when it came to it I remembered I absolutely hat phone calls and I just couldn't do it. Sorry about that! If I ever return to edinbrugh this place will be top of my list.

Must go place if you are MO:MO lover.. All other dishes are good as well

First time here and the good reviews are correct. Chicken mono starter delicious. Tarka dhal, mushroom rice excellent. Lamb curry very good, really nice spices and flavour. The meat was very (too) tough and other reviews note this too. Still 5* and definitely recommend

Foods here are delicious. We couldn't try it all but i am sure other recipes would taste the same. Must go there specially, if you are Momo lovers

First time I tried the buttered chicken, it was good but too sweet for me (I’m from India though). Second time the chef made it to order, but less sweet, more spicy. And he delivered! The Buffalo momo “C Momo” style was absolutely delicious. Good amount of spicy 👍🏽 wish I was staying in Edinburgh longer so I could try their other curries. They have a great curry meal deal. Check out the menu.

Excellent momos. Authentic and delicious. The owner is very kind too.

We love Momo Nepalese, it's one of our go to places for takeaway. The fried chicken momos are so good!

Amazing Nepalese Food. Amazing chef. Momos here are best in UK and Ireland so far for me. Do try it for yourself.

Had a lovely dinner here. The chef welcomed us in his shop and recommended us some food. We had buffalo momos in a spicy sauce, veg momos ans well as chicken chowmein. It was delicious !

I always order the Veg Tandoori grilled Momo’s from here and they are absolutely delicious! They are always perfect every single time I order from there and will continue to do so. Very generous portions.

Coming from a Nepali who was craving buff momo since a year, very delicious and authentic taste. I have tried many different Nepalese restaurants in the UK but this place didn't disappoint at all. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who is looking for authentic and delicious Nepalese food.

Finally found a place with buffalo momo! We had the buffalo momo curry and c, lamb tikka, and veg chowmein. Everything was delicious, highly recommend!

I ate momo and chawmin and its real amazing taste.I became the biggest fan. and definately i would recoment my friends to visit this restuarant when you out there. Thank you

The kiltmakers of Edinburgh realy enjoyed the food, it was absolutely delish, and all the flavours were so good together, I shall be eating here regularly, thankyou for the experience x

Muy buena atención, el dueño se da tiempo de explicar los platos típicos y da buenas recomendaciones. Muy amable para atender y la comida es exquisita. 100% recomendado

We went there for Momos specifically buff and it didn't disappoint us was absolutely delicious with authentic taste and the chutney was cherry on the top .. must try Momos from this place .

Amazing food. Wonderful hospitality. Absolutely enjoyed every food we tried, momo being the highlight 😍

Delicious food. I will recommend mom's and chicken fried rice.

The best Nepali style momo and chowmein in town, very authentic taste with an amazing spices and a very friendly environment.

This is an amazing take away. There are also few tables you can use to eat in. I recommend momo and noodles, very good in all the flavours. The waiter was funny and the restaurant clean. The food quality was high but… spicy!!! By far the best Nepalese food I’ve ever eaten

Great dumplings! I have eaten here before but they dropped a free sample box at my work today and the fried dumplings were amazing. I highly recommend. Thanks, Prim Barbershop

Wir sind zufällig auf das MoMo gestoßen als wir mit unserem Kind (Teenager) etwas Leckeres zum Abendessen gesucht haben. So viel vorab: es war so lecker, dass wir direkt am nächsten Tag wieder da waren. Nepalesisch klingt spannend und ist es auch. Ihr kennt Dumplings? Dann probiert mal die nepalesische Variante: MoMos. Unser Kind hat sich in frittierte Chicken MoMos verliebt und er ist wirklich sonst ein Picky-eater wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Und der Chai hat ihm so toll geschmeckt, dass er seine Schüchternheit überwunden hat und zum ersten Mal jenseits von „Thank you“ Englisch in UK gesprochen hat, weil er einfach mehr davon wollte. Aber das Essen hat nicht nur das Kind glücklich gemacht, sondern auch die Eltern. :-) Alles was wir gegessen haben war einfach toll. Meine absoluten Favoriten waren das „Nauni Masala Tarkari“ (Sehr mildes Chicken Curry 0 🌶️), „Harabhara Tarkari“ (mildes Curry mit Kräutern 1🌶️) und die „Grilled Chicken MoMos“. Alles schmeckt super frisch und lecker. Auf der Karte stehen so viele tolle Gerichte, dass eigentlich für jeden etwas dabei ist. Auch für die Liebhaber scharfer Küche geht es hoch bis 4 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Chilis in der Bewertung. Es ist ein kleiner Take-away Laden, der für 2£ auch liefert, aber er hat auch drei Sitzplätze. Der Chef war sehr nett und wir haben uns toll unterhalten. Er ist die Gastlichkeit in Person und eben auch ein toller Koch. Solche Menschen zu treffen ist einfach das Schönste am Urlaub. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder ins MoMos.

We got lamb tikka, jhol chicken momo & garlic naan. It was a late night dinner so we needed a snack. The service was really great and the food was honestly delicious. We’d 100% come back!

Great veg/vegan and chicken momos. Lamb biryani as well.

Great authentic food. Good service and nice people!

Hey all! I want to share my experience with you! I try today chicken chaomi and dumplings from Momos and this food is amazing! Fast! Tasty! Professional!

I really wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. I dropped by just hoping to try some Momos for the first time, and who I assume was the owner was seriously the nicest guy. He gave me plenty of help and recommendations, and was even concerned with how cold I was after being outside for a while. I was truly amazed by the level of hospitality for the short amount of time I was waiting inside. The Momos were of course incredibly good, and I’m so glad that this place, of all places, was my introduction to Nepalese food. Please give this place your business, they truly deserve it.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars; the best Nepalese food I've ever had in my life. They even have fusions with Chinese and Indian cuisines, and I prefer this place over their original counterparts. The owner is incredibly gracious and welcoming, and his quaint shop is oozing with love and authenticity. You won't find a better place to eat ethnic food in Edinburgh. I cannot recommend this place enough, they deserve all the business they can get.

Greaaat taste. C Momo is perfect. Also get garlic Naan to devour c Momo sauce

This wasn't as good as last time. The sauces, rice and bread were delicious but we both thought our meat (chicken and lamb) was a bit tough. Last time it was beautiful.

Momos are really good but the rest of the foods are not good at all. Very oily but the staffs behaviour is nice. If you like authentic momo this is the place to go however the other foods are not good at all.
