The Little Yeti in Manchester

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Awesome service, incredible flavour.

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

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 :)

Food and service is always excellent

Delicious food good atmosphere lovely people 🥂❤️

Outstanding service with delicious cuisines 🤗🥰.

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

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

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.

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……

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

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

Amazing place. Visited here a number of times now and the service has always been fantastic. The staff are welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious, it's definitely my go to place in the area.

Around 20 of us came to Little Yeti for a birthday meal on a Saturday. The service was amazing, Niti and the team are beyond lovely and looked after us incredibly well. The food is tasty and just couldn’t get enough of the momos, the whole group left satisfied and with craving to get back!! Thank you for looking after us, 100% recommend this restaurant - the passion for what they do comes through wonderfully.

Amazing food - absolutely delicious and great service. We will definitely be back!

Really good food in a cool little neighbourhood restaurant. The veggie momos and the paneer shashlick were amazing can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu - loads of veg/vegan options too!

The little yeti, more like the little gem, its an amazing place, wonderful food with great friendly staff, I have had a wide range of dishes from this restraunt and never had a bad meal. Delicious 10/10 for me. Thank you

Absolutely Amazing Food and Service.

Fantastic service and always a warm welcome. The buffalo and chicken momos in particular are amazing as are the lamb chops. Would definitely recommend

We had the momos cooked in garlic with spicy achar sauce and they were amazing. The service was super friendly and the pop punk music made for a really cool atmosphere!

The wraps were a bit dry. The chatpate was good.

King prawn momos are absolutely to die for!! Service always super friendly and attentive! Would also recommend the delicious butter chicken! Great little restaurant for a casual but delicious meal out

Food was ok for the price. Service from the waiter was good but the waitress was pretty rude.

We had a lovely meal. Particularly enjoyed the mushroom shashlick and the momos. The staff were charming & couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely go again!

Really nice environment and enjoyed everything that we ordered! Everything was delicious, and well put together.

The food was really delicious. The staff were very friendly and felt welcomed. The place has a positive vibe. I really really recommend this restaurant.

This meal and cafe /bistro was so good I could cry ! We advised them ahead of time that I am coeliac and it was no bother to them, they were so kind and as soon as we arrived they acknowledged it again. Almost all the menu could be made gluten free , even the mo mos We had the chicken and veg mo mos with 4 different sauces, lamb chops, Dall, salad and the masala fries. They were all absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly , kind, helpful and the atmosphere was wonderful. I felt so glad that my allergy was considered and not made a big deal of but that I could enjoy the food. My boyfriend who is vehemently not gluten free shared my GF mo mos and genuinely could not tell the difference. Would recommend to all !

If you’re Nepalese and want to go for authentic Nepali cuisine then it’s not for you guys! I was completely disappointed by the food as it were told traditional Nepalese food, doesn’t taste 1% of traditional nepali food. Good for English people, who doesn’t know what actually is Nepalese food.

First time coming here and it was the best food we have had in a long time! Really good unique comfort food. Loads of vegan and veggie options. Loved the music too. We were the only people in the restaurant as it was a rainy day but staff were still really nice and attentive. Cant wait to come again🥰

Service great, very friendly and welcoming. The food is outstanding. Best food inhqve had in a while. Definitely visiting Little Yeti again

Great and interesting food. Lovely service and a great price!

Great little Nepalese cafe with fabulous momos.

Decided to try this place after reading the good reviews. It’s a very simple place quite small inside and a few tables outside. I ordered the prawn momos and the butter chicken roti wrap with fries (which I was recommended) The momos were really tasty full of flavour with a nice spicy dip. The butter chicken wrap was basically butter chicken curry in a wrap and didn’t really do it for me to be honest. I think it would be much better with a bit of grated carrot and onion or something on the side or in the wrap to give it a crunch or something. The butter curry tasted like a less sweet version of somewhere in between a korma and a Pasanda which I’m sure a lot of people would like. Fries were lovely and crisp I would come back and would like to try another main course

We love this place! Service is always great, staff are attentive, friendly and efficient. The food is a treat! My children also love the food and we always have a lovely time! Defo reccomend!

Delicious, would 1000% return and remember to take photos next time 🫣 it did get really smokey at one point with spicy cooking though. And though friendly, I didn't feel like the staff were very attentive. Particularly enjoyed the mango coconut naan.

Really great food. Girlfriend and I took the chicken momos and a tikka masala wrap for sharing. Momos look kind of small but they're very filling and really tasting. Maybe a slightly strong cumin note but it's a matter of preference and I enjoyed them. The wraps are rich and smooth although on a spicier side so I really enjoyed them. Surprisingly cheap, so you can easily feed 2 people for less than 30£ and the staff is just lovely

Hello, Being a part of North Eastern India. I am familiar with Nepalese food and expected little bit of flavour similar to I am used to but it was horrible. It appear to me that Momo and Chowmein was made of bad curry paste. Never tasted in my life. The Dough of momo was thick and soggy. The filling of the Momo was horrible both chicken and pork. The chowmein was noodles thrown into bad dry chicken tikka masala. Forget about the taste. Never again. You have put me off from Nepalese food.

Do yourself a favour. Eat in or take out. it's delicious!

An informal cafe style restaurant serving superb, very different Napalese food. This quirky place is a favourite of mine. We recently visited for my birthday and were not disappointed. The steamed pork mo mo’s were delicious, the spicy special potatoes incredible and the wraps as good as ever. Our friends said the fries that came their wrap, were the best they’d ever had! There’s a good selection of drinks on offer, the house red wine was excellent and I’d recommend booking, as it’s a very popular place.

We dined on a surprisingly busy Tuesday, and they opened up the downstairs area just for us! The food was delicious and I was shocked when our waitress said she hadn't been working in hospitality long, as she seemed so comfortable and friendly. Great job!

First time at this restaurant ..absolutely fabulous food..so tasty and nice service and atmosphere, not expensive ..will certainly visit again when in Chorlton..deserves 5 star rating

We’ve eaten here before last year and also got takeaways. It has been nice. But got a takeaway today and the CHICKEN WINGS WERE RAW, there were literally no more than 5 chips, the lamb nestled in less than a 1/3 of the tin it was so small and the wrap contained only two prawns. It wa utterly terrible.
