The Little Yeti in Manchester

When you order chicken noodles and it looks and tastes like soya mince but they deny it and claim its minced chicken. It is not. Chicken does not mince like that and why on earth would you mince chicken? Plopping a load of chilli and soy sauce on it won’t hide it and it’s not worth the price. My friends ribs also looked gross with chunks of fat and little meat. I also had to ask again for the beer I ordered. Also don’t appreciate listening to thrash metal throughout. Quite a bizarre experience. Won’t be back.

Best wings I’ve had in Manchester! And the momos were great too.

Amazing spot! You have to try it! I left with an amazing taste in my mouth! I loved the crispy noodle salad, Buffalo momos, Jhol momos, Chicken wings! I can't wait to come back! Staff were really friendly and its a cute homely restaurant! For more reviews in Manchester Check out @joelomari.eats Tiktok

what a gem!!! delicious food and lovely staff. cannot recommend enough and can’t wait to go back!

Tried both the veg and chicken momos, steamed and pan-fried—absolutely delicious! The fillings were flavorful and fresh, and the texture was just right. The spicy achar on the side added the perfect kick. Friendly service and cozy vibe made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Nepalese momos in Manchester!

Incredible food, great music, lovely staff and service. Very reasonably priced, you can even order half portions of Momos.What more could I possibly ask for

Tried the chicken and vegetable momos from Momo Shop—super tasty! The chicken was juicy, and the veggie ones were fresh and flavorful. Steamed to perfection with just the right spices. Great with their spicy dipping sauce. Highly recommend for a quick, satisfying bite!

Really delicious food and the highlight was the chicken chow mein, especially as someone who's not a huge fan of noodles, they were amazing! We also ordered the momos and wings which were great too. Halal options and friendly staff made this a great experience.

We visited this little Thibetian restaurant a few weeks ago. The food was ok, the staff/ owners were friendly and welcoming and created a great atmosphere during our outing.

Went here with my friend Sue over the weekend. Absolutely loved the food and service was great. The place had a great vibe to it and was very busy!

We recently visited Momo Shop in Manchester after finding it through a quick search online. The food appeared tempting on Google, so we decided to make a reservation. The restaurant itself is pleasant and the staff are incredibly hospitable, always smiling and very sweet, which was genuinely appreciated. However, what truly disappointed us was the service. It took well over an hour for our food to arrive, which left us feeling extremely disheartened. We had been looking forward to this meal for some time and arrived with great excitement, only to find our enthusiasm dampened by the long waiting time. Being left hungry for so long was unfortunate and certainly affected our overall experience. As big fans of Momos, we had high expectations, but sadly the food did not quite meet them. The Momos were average. They were not bad, but they certainly were not as flavoursome as we had hoped. The wraps were also a disappointment. In particular, the mushroom shashlik wrap contained a very sweet sauce which overpowered the flavour of the mushrooms and created an unbalanced and rather unpleasant texture. I found it difficult to enjoy. My sister, who ordered the chicken wrap, found it lacking in flavour to the extent that she used the buttered sauce from the Momos just to make it palatable. One highlight of the meal was the masala chips, which were absolutely delicious and the standout dish of the evening. In addition to the slow service, I did find the pricing to be on the higher side, which, considering the overall experience, made the visit feel less worthwhile. While the staff’s warmth and hospitality were genuinely lovely, it sadly did not make up for the flaws in the service and food quality. Regrettably, based on our experience, I would not feel confident recommending this place to others, as I would not want to risk them feeling the same disappointment we

A lovely little gem serving delicious momos. Whoever made this place is smart because the interior is very modern and casual, yet the food is very authentic and tasty - great for attracting the younger demographics in the area. You can choose different fillings, styles of cooking and sauces for your momos, so you can make numerous different combinations. I would recommend ordering 3 plates of momos for 2 people, or 2 plates and an appetizer. Everything is seasoned very well, although it is not spicy, so do not worry if you order the spicy version- it is not super spicy. I particularly recommend the bison filling and the deep-fried style of cooking for the momos. The price is very reasonable - we paid 36 GBP for 3 momo dishes, an appetizer and diet coke.

Great food I found it too spicy, but my daughter lived it. I like pricey but I'm told that's because it's Manchester

Food is outstanding . 6 of us sharing and we had so many different things, not a bad thing on the menu. Dog friendly which is a pro! Make sure you book as it’s always full :)

A must visit if you love Nepalese food. We love momos so much and these do not disappoint. It was busy when we went so it is worth booking in advance to avoid missing out. We will definitely be coming back again.

Service was friendly but very slow and forgetful. Had to ask for the bill 3 times which took over 30mins. Momos were very nice but prices are slightly misleading as you have to pay for every sauce you wanted added to momos so ends up being around £13.50 per plate and almost £2 per momo! So quite expensive in that respect

My partner and I really enjoyed the food, super tasty and just couldn't stop eating even after I was full. The venue is charming, rustic and the service was excellent (big fan of the music playing too). The food is truly authentic (and vegetarian friendly) and unlike anything else you can get in Manchester, so we'd love to see this place thrive.

New menu is amazing. Don't sleep on the chana sandeko, that was outstanding

I am glad that I was able to make a reservation to Momo Shop on the same day of this visit, the momos were delicious, we ordered both steamed and fried style, they were tasty, however you wouldn’t be missing anything if you were not going to order the noodles. Chicken wings are delicious too. The price is really good for the quality of food we had 🥰 I defo will go back again sometime.

Nice food and nepalese vibe environment

Such lovely food and staff, a must go to!

Amazing place. They were about to close but let us in anyways, yumai & charlie were perfect hosts and treated us really well. The restaurant was very cozy and ambience was top-notch!! The food was SO GOOD, would definitely recommend the place and absolutely go again !!!! It's also dog friendly 🫶🏻

The food was absolutely amazing! We tried the veg jhol momo, chili momo, and chow mein—perfectly spicy and bursting with flavor. Even though we were full, we couldn’t stop wanting more. The staff was incredibly welcoming, especially Yumai and Charlie, who served us graciously even though it was close to their closing time. The ambiance was warm, and the fact that it’s dog-friendly makes it even better. Definitely worth visiting!

This place is amazing! The food is basically crack, 10/10 will be coming back.

Had the pan fried pork momos with buttered sauce and they were unbelievably good. Such a lovely and friendly place, highly recommend!!

Amazing restaurant, especially for fans of spicy food. The menu had so many great options that we decided to order several dishes to share, recommend doing the same! Our top picks were the chicken momo in butter sauce, chicken chow mein, and onion bhajis, but everything we tried was delicious. The restaurant is quite small, giving it a cozy, personal feel and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We visited on a Saturday around 5:30pm easily being able to get a table but it was busy by the time we were leaving

We had the most amazing time at Momo!! As our first experience of Nepalese food, the server was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, we were open to whatever she recommended and it did not disappoint! Usually with ordering a lot of food you tend to like some more than others, but this time everything was equally sensational!! From bajis and momos to noodles, salad and wings, I couldn't pick a favourite dish! You can tell everything was made with love. Can't wait to come back and can't recommend enough!

Food and service were outstanding! Highly recommend pan fried momos <3

My favourite food in Manchester, been here a few times now and it’s consistently great! My favourites are the veg momos in jhol achar sauce and the chicken wings :)

Not really good foods over there. Ordered Momo and Chatpate.

Sorry, no photos, cos the food was obliterated since it was amazing. The best Mo's I've had ever. Even better than in Nepal. Lamb ribs are full of flavour too, without being too overpowering. If you like Nepalese food, come here to experience authentic cooking.

Very authentic Nepalese taste. Great environment and service. Steamed chicken momo must try

The most delicious Momos! We had the loveliest cosy evening here on this wet Wednesday evening. The dry fried pork momos were a stand out & the homemade chilli oil was so addictive. All washed down with lucky Buddha on tap. You can’t really go wrong. Niti and Ross are such a delight too!

The food here is authentic and incredible- I love how you can change up the way you want it cooked/sauced. Took me straight back to eating momos in Nepal. I did a session where I made my own momo's and the chefs were so helpful and kind and it was great value for money. It was great to see how momos are made.

Honestly the food was so underwhelming. I got the butter chicken wrap which literally tasted like something I could make at home, except it had literally 0 veg, just chicken in a wrap. My partner got the soya mince noodles, the noodles were described as thick and they came out and looked like literal spaghetti with mince on top, the sauce was so thin it all seeped to the bottom & my partner (who is normally not fussy at all) even struggled to finish it. Got the veggie momos to share (don't massively understand why you have to pay more to have sauce on the side but whatever) in the garlic sauce, which tasted nothing like garlic one bit, even asked if we got the right sauce (considering it tasted like the Jhol) which was confirmed with a sarcastic attitude by the waitress who left me and my partner feeling pretty uncomfortable. 2 beers, and 3 small dishes for around £50 is also insane considering when we left we were still hungry. The guy who served us & the nice graphics dotted around was really the only saving grace. Honestly wouldn't bother coming to be honest which is such a shame because we both loved little yeti.

Absolutely fantastic, second time here, never finished a plate so fast. Staff are lovely

Sadly not impressed, feel bad saying it but I left hungry and had to eat again somewhere else. Menu was confusing, ran out of prawns which are in a fair few dishes, EVERYTHING was too spicy despite only some items mentioning it. No smile from the waiter. Hardly any soft drinks on offer, and all sugary and fizzy. Chairs are those mismatched wonky wooden ones that are all the rage. I've been before a few years ago and was looking forward to coming back. I'm so sorry to leave a review like this but honestly it was a bad experience.

Alright then okay; Annapurna? Pokhara? Kathmandu? Nah mate am alright sending meself straight to Momo Shop Chorlton for the dankeset Nepalese scran this side of the lunar cycle, say no more, get here for the authentic flavours bless yourself bless Didi and the cru xxxxx Bro the homie owner running the place gave me a taste of her own HOME MADE SCRAN like that was her tea?? She didn’t have to share the dhal with a brother just sharing the authentic Nepalese flavours for a man wanting to experience the taste of Nepal again DHAL STYLE ; dhal on the menu???? But yeah honest hearty balanced delicious scran give the gave a go will have you leaving a £20 tip Issa madness Go Momo shop

Food was incredible and the atmosphere was great. Male waiter needs much more training, didn’t know what food was what when it came out. Wanted to ask for more tap water and he was leaning against the bar on his phone. Stacked the plates on the table. Everything else was great.

The food was amazing..and fantastic staff.. Lovely and well decorated place...we had a great time and will return soon..

This place was the bees knees! The food was delectable; the atmosphere was warm & accommodating, and Niti and the rest of the staff were very friendly. To top it off, there’s often classic emo/pop/punk playing, which certainly adds to the charm! The momos are my favourite, too :-)

Comida bastante pobre en realidad - He comido muchos nepaleses pero el chow mein y el keema de soja eran horribles. No estoy seguro de cómo se puede hacer soja que es demasiado difícil de masticar y la mezcla de especias en los platos simplemente no era una buena mezcla para ofrecer un buen sabor y textura. Hemos estado antes hace algún tiempo y tuvimos una comida pobre, pero con un nuevo menú pensamos que volveríamos a intentarlo y fue igual de malo. No volveremos nunca más. En el lado positivo el vino estaba bien y momo al vapor es simplemente pasable, pero realmente se puede estropear momo?

This is such a nice restaurant, friendly people and beautiful food 💖 we had steamed Momos and the dips were made to our spice levels! Delicious momos. The cheesy chops were so nice and a great side dish with the spicy sauces. We had the paneer shishlik sizzler, the paneer cooked to perfection and the tomato sauce on it was sooooo tasty. Plus chatpate salad for the crunch. Yum highly recommend. Eat all the things, then have dessert 🤩

A Hidden Gem for Momo Lovers! If you’re a fan of dumplings, this Momo restaurant is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming staff who clearly take pride in their service. Their attentiveness and genuine smiles set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. What truly stands out is the speed at which the food arrives. Within minutes of ordering, steaming plates of momos are placed before you, perfectly fresh and hot. The wait time is impressively short, yet the quality of the food suggests nothing was rushed—just expertly prepared. Now, onto the star of the show: the momos themselves. Each bite is a perfect balance of tender, flavorful fillings and soft, delicate wrappers. Whether you opt for the classic steamed, crispy fried, or spicy jhol momos, every dish is bursting with authentic flavors that make you savor every moment. The dipping sauces are equally divine, adding just the right kick to complement the dumplings. The overall vibe of the restaurant—friendly service, fast turnaround, and exceptional food—makes it a place you’ll want to return to again and again. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out on the best Momo experiences in town. Highly recommend!

Went on a busy Saturday night and we were sat downstairs, which was freezing we had to keep our coats on. We ordered drink and food after about 10 minutes of being seated, drinks came pretty quickly. We sat for over an hour with one drink after ordering food, no one came to take another drinks order or tell us how long food would be. We gave it another 15 minutes before asking as we had another booking to make which we were definitely going to miss having been sat in the restaurant for almost an hour and a half now! The server seemed confused when we asked how long food would be and asked when we ordered, which we told them over an hour ago. Food then came pretty quickly but we were now in such a rush to leave as to not get a no show fee for the next booking that we couldn't finish or enjoy it. Everything was really tasty from what we ate although very very spicy! All 4 dishes we got were extremely spicy so I would recommend getting a bread or something neutral on the side. The pork steamed momos were excellent! Our experience was really bad to be honest and I wouldn't be back, which is a shame as I think the food is authentic and tasty. The service was terrible, no communication at all and just not very pleasant when asking for what is going on. I appreciate Saturday night service can be crazy as a chef myself, but communication to those seated with bookings is essential if they are waiting for 1 hour plus on food and drinks orders. Two tables around us seemed to have the same experience with waiting for food and the other sat for over half an hour without their first drink order being taken. We paid full price for everything and had to go to the bar to pay as we needed to leave and there was no one in sight to ask for the bill. How long we waited wasn't even acknowledged by the same server.

What a gem of a place! I recently booked onto their new momo making workshop with my friends. It was so much fun and a great way to spend the evening. Our momos were delicious and cooked exactly how we would have liked. Thank you so much! We can’t wait to come back

Really nice food. A little expensive for the portion sizes.

Food is absolutely top. Lovely intimate place I found the menu a little confusing and had to ask the waiter but they were very friendly in explaining it to me. Maybe just change the wording slightly.

Authentic taste, loved the vegetable momos

Great authentic Nepali food.Love the service.

Such a great experience here! The food is so delicious and you can smell how good it is from across the street! The staff were really friendly and helpful, particularly whilst trying to accommodate a member of our party who was both vegan and allergic to garlic! They were incredibly careful about allergens and still managed to provide us with some great options for them. The atmosphere is cosy and overall it was a great experience!

Probé este lugar esta noche por primera vez. Reservado a través de correo electrónico que fue sencillo Cuando llegamos, estábamos sentados inmediatamente, y el personal era amable. Como nunca habíamos comido aquí, y nunca habíamos comido comida nepalesa antes, necesitábamos consejos sobre el menú. Una señora encantadora vino y nos habló a través del menú y nos recomendó algunos platos. Esto fue brillante. Aunque no pedimos exactamente lo que ella recomendó, estábamos cerca. Fuimos a por las momos, envoltura roti con papas fritas masala y luego costillas de cordero. Los dos primeros platos eran sabrosos, pero las costillas eran bastante sosas para ser honesto. Bonito pequeño restaurante independiente y recomendaría darle una oportunidad seguro.

Delicious food. Couldn’t fault it. Great friendly service. Lovely chilled atmosphere Would recommend !!

Beautiful food and atmosphere, super efficient running service and authentic Nepali food. What more do you want!

He mirado el exterior de este lugar durante años y había probado la mayoría de los lugares a su alrededor - esta noche finalmente lo hice en y wow, tuvimos una gran comida y nos sentimos como si hubiéramos hecho nuevos amigos. El Little Yeti me recuerda a los locales que me encantaron en Manchester a partir de los 80. No es flash, pero es original. Está dirigida y poblada con el tipo de personas que te levantan el ánimo y tienen una habilidad de la que están orgullosos de compartir. Estaba lleno arriba y a los 10 minutos de sentarse en el anexo del sótano, también estaba lleno. Es amigable. La gente que lo dirige habla contigo y comparte un poco de sí mismos y es animado. Lo más importante es que la comida, Nepalese Street Food, es muy sabrosa. Habíamos cocinado Momo al vapor con salsa picante. Perfecto. Luego tuvimos Pollo Tikka Roti, Daal, Mint Dip y una botella de Rioja. Todo salió bien y las combinaciones fueron puntuales. El Daal estaba picante con un pequeño bocado y estoy lleno y muy feliz.

Had an excellent vegan meal here. So many options. So much tasty food.

Momos de primera clase. Personal amable y servicial. Gama de platos. Toca buena música (pop punk). Vamos aquí con frecuencia - no demasiado caro

Awesome service, incredible flavour.

Love!!! Good authentic favour food, love the service. ❤️❤️🥟🥟🥟🥟

You can’t miss out on this place. Authentic taste at reasonable price.

This place comes highly recommended online, so I visited and tried some King Prawn Momos (very similar to gyoza). Just need to go back and try the others, now!

Este lugar viene muy recomendado en línea, así que visité y probé algunos King Prawn Momos (muy similar a gyoza). ¡Solo tienes que volver y probar los otros, ahora!

Entró en este lugar con grandes expectativas, pero no estaba muy impresionado. Vamos paso a paso. El servidor era muy amable y la comida se sirvió rápidamente. Tengo la costumbre de limpiar los platos con toallas / pañuelos de papel y me alegro de que incluso mis amigos lo hicieron. Las placas estaban sucias. Les pedimos que los cambiaran. Lo hicieron. Luego pedí el achar momo picante, que calificaría 3 / 5 ya que la capa era demasiado gruesa y apenas 2 cucharadas de chutney servido con 8 piezas que no era suficiente. Mis amigos ordenaron la verdura. Luego el pollo Chowmein que era extremadamente picante debido a las cargas de pimienta utilizada en él, pero era sabroso por lo que calificaría 4 / 5. Ahora viene el giro, pedimos Chatpate que se suponía que era el famoso fideo Wai Wai hecho en ensalada, en su lugar nos sirvieron arroz inflado que se utiliza para hacer Bhel. Les preguntamos al respecto y dijeron que sus fideos no estaban disponibles por lo tanto el reemplazo, incluso se ofreció a dar en la casa, pero no teníamos eso. El punto aquí es que deberían habernos informado si no estaba disponible. Los asiáticos sabemos lo que es un wai wai, pero para otros que no lo saben, esto no es lo correcto. Simplemente se lo comerían. El personal o propietario no estaba seguro de a quién le preguntaron si éramos nepalíes y dijimos que no, pero para mí este es un tipo de trampa que no apreciaría. Cuando sirves una cocina, representas ese lugar/ciudad/cocina/país y siento que debes ser muy transparente con ella. Buena suerte al equipo.

Stepped into this place with high expectations but wasn't very impressed. Let's go step by step. The server was very friendly and food was served quickly. I have a habit of cleaning the plates with paper towels/tissues and glad even my friends did. The plates were soiled. We asked them to change them. They did. Then ordered the spicy achar momo, which I would rate 3/5 as the coating was too thick and hardly 2 tbsp chutney served with 8 pcs which wasn't sufficient. My friends ordered the veg one. Then the chicken Chowmein which was extremely spicy due to loads of pepper used in it but was tasty so would rate 4/5. Now comes the twist, we ordered for Chatpate which was supposed to be the famous Wai Wai noodle made into salad, instead we were served Puffed Rice which is used to make Bhel. We asked them about it and they said their noodles were unavailable hence the replacement, they even offered to give it on the house but we didn't have that. The point here is, they should have informed us if it was unavailable. We being Asians know what a wai wai is, but for others who don't know, this isn't the right thing to do. They would simply eat it. The staff or owner was not sure who it was asked if we were Nepali and we said no. But for me this is a type of cheating which I wouldn't appreciate. When you serve a cuisine, you represent that place/city/cuisine/country and I feel you should be very transparent with it. Good luck to the team.

I decided to give the momos a try. Was a little disappointed as the covering was too thick and the stuffing wasn’t up to my expectations. The achar was good but not spicy enough.

Food was really nice..thank you samjhana sth pure local flavor thyo hai chowmein..

Lovely place with a great atmosphere and even better food! Staff were really helpful and we had a great time!

Always love the food and great vibe :)

All momoz lover should visit this place I m sure u gonna love it….. amazing vibe🤗🤗 cheerrsss

Food and service is always excellent

Outstanding service with delicious cuisines 🤗🥰.

Delicious food good atmosphere lovely people 🥂❤️

Known as nepalese restaurant where the food menu is not topically based on nepali taste as well as the making style of food .food been served far different than expected.Overall service was good & staff were happy to assist with quires.

Great environment, good vibes with amazing cuisine highly recommendable must visit …😍

Place is nice but the famous thing is momo which not near to momo . Their stuffings is good but layer of momo very thick . won’t recommend it. They need learn how to make thin layer of momo, Chowmein Is good . Even chicken taste was not so good

Cute place with really nice decor and very friendly, relaxed staff. I don't know how authentic the food is so if you are looking for a place to experience a different cuisine then I think there are better places for that. However, the food was delicious and I don't think it makes any pretence of being authentic/what you would get in Nepal. We ordered prawn momos and roti wraps which were both nice. Great for a casual night!

Amazing all food , good service, good staff 😍

What a gem of a place! Never had Nepalese food before, but what a taste sensation! Food was great, we ordered the roti wraps and 4 half portions of momos ( challenging amount of food but wasn't for leaving anything as it was so tasty) service was the best, we were recommended what to try with the momos and the staff were refreshing friendly and seemed proud of what they were offering. A great vibe about the place, all tables were taken but it still felt intimate. Couldn't stop us going back here in the future!

Amazing food and service. A really cute little restaurant in Chorlton, with a separate vegan menu. The momos are excellent

Butter Chicken roti wrap and buffalo minis were stunning , great service too

Incredible food. The butter chicken wrap was divine and the momos are amazing. The staff member was super friendly and polite. Would 100% recommend this place

Nice little place with tasty food.

Went to Little Yeti for a late meal on Saturday night, and were warmly welcomed by the owner. The food was all very tasty, buffalo momo, and achar dip was lovely, but the mushroom shashlick and paneer shashlick were favourites. Although it was late, we didn't feel as though we were being pushed out of the door at the end of the evening, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Many thanks

Excellent service and food quality. We had enough food for 4 and all found it very tasty. Love the aesthetic of the basement seating.

Lovely little place, friendly staff, nice food, quite quirky and colourful & very enjoyable experience. Took a while for food to come out (as was the case on other tables) but well worth it once it arrived. Great wraps n chips and really liked the little dumplings. Would give a higher mark but 2 types of beers were unavailable, which puzzled me. Were they not prepared for a busy Saturday night service? Overall though very nice evening and enjoyable food.

Gorgeous little restaurant, food is always delicious, as per usual!

Amazing food, amazing service and great price!

Great food. Can't wait to try the food again.

Amazing Nepalese food. Very nice and fresh looking momos with tasty variety of sauces. Service is AMAZING the waiteress literally explained every single dish in details and recommended us wonderful plates. Butter chicken was really good as well and they had a nice starter with fried mashed potato 😍 Chocolate momo desert is a must have. Crispy with hot nutella inside and vanilla ice cream scoop on the side 🤤

Food is well spiced and it always tastes great. Be aware most items are fairly spicy so keep that in mind when ordering.

Our food was pretty nice and the staff were welcoming, but we were overcharged by 50% and in the rush of splitting the bill I didn’t realise. So it was a very expensive wrap and cola!

Beautiful food, great atmosphere and service very friendly

Amazing food, great prices and lovely staff. The dipping sauce and mild atcha was lovely. Super quick, no booking needed

Great service and food was amazing , would definitely recommend the king prawn chow main and lamb chops , best restaurant we have ever been to

You choose a momo (dumpling) filling, you get it fried or steamed, you choose a dipping sauce. Loads of other things going on but we're there for the momos. They offer wraps which Indians would call kati rolls, superb. The noodles aren't typical Indo-|Chinese, but still lovely Just go..

Really lovely food. Recommend the fried dumplings.

Lovely place,momo here is a must try.We had vegan momo and it was good 👍

Momos were very delicious and must try…… staffs were very polite…… Food quality was good and spicy (I’m from India so like when it’s spicy) best spot for dinner date……

This place is unreal. Deep fried vege momos amazing. Achar next levs. Vegan options out the wazoo! X x x x

Hidden gem of Manchester. Get garlic covered momos never forget the garlic sauce it will change your life.
