I went at 8:10PM (20 minutes before closing), and they treated me so kindly and let me stay and eat past the closing time. I had a great experience because not only was the food delicious, so was the service, ambiance, and treatment. The food is 100% made with love and you can taste it.
ordered paneer tikka and roti. both came out piping hot and very fragrant. the paneer tikka is delicious. the paneer is homemade and pan fried! and the owners are so incredibly sweet and kind
They make the best veggie momos in town!!! Try them steamed or jhol. The service is excellent (super kind) and the restaurant is nicely decorated!

This little Indian restaurant was a great find. The butter chicken was incredibly delicious, and the woman running the place (I think she’s the owner) was wonderfully kind and welcoming. I’d definitely come back.

I have been dining here on and off for the past 3 and a half years, and multiple times per week (nearly daily) for the past 6 months or so. They are a family run business, and everything that they have on their menu is incredibly tasty. Kendu (the woman who mans the register) is incredibly welcoming and kind.

There are so many places that say they are Himalayan or Nepalese or whatever, and there are ones closer to my house than MoMo Masalas, but I really like the menu here and the prices are fair. I like the Chilli Paneer (or chicken, if you want), a kind of street food-style dish that seems to walk the line between Indian and Chinese. Dahi Chicken is nice, too.

I was only in town for the summer but ate at this place a few times. The food is really good and the owners are incredibly friendly and sweet. The chili chicken and pork were my favorites; I’m sure the paneer is good too but I never got the chance to try. Mango lassi is delicious. When I left I told her that this place was one of the highlights of my summer and I meant it!

[longtime student opinion]
My favorite northside restaurant. Food is slightly more expensive than other restaurants, and takes a little while to make (so order early on snackpass), but the portions are generous, the food is just really tasty, and the old lady at the front is the sweetest person ever. :)
Personal favorite dish is the chili chicken.

This spot is one of my favorites. For each dish, they think very carefully about the textures, flavors, and spices, and how they should come together to leave a lasting impression. A dish only makes it on the menu when they are proud to serve it. You can tell from the first bite that they care about what they’re serving.
The staff are incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, and it’s clear they enjoy sharing what they do. No matter the day, they will know exactly what you need. Whether it be good conversation, good food, or as is often the case, both.

I absolutely love this place. The owner is the sweetest auntie and its always a pleasure to chat with her. She also remembers repeat customers and I really do feel so welcome and loved when visiting.
The food is also amazingly comforting when I'm nostalgic and missing home. The price is also affordable for students, with the portions being very generous and often enough for me to pack and bring home to eat later.
