You can't beat it handmade, and you get that with both the dumplings and the crepes at MomoDosa. There's something for everyone!

I have a hard time understanding when restaurants are in business of serving food, that would end up making people feel satisfied/contented/happy, what mindset would a restaurant owner have to want to pinch on little things, such as portion size, condiments or a nay say saying attitude?
Here, an experience left me sad where the ridgedness of how the food should be ordered overcame with lack of service, overcooked food and a portion size beyond my comprehension!
I ordered the chicken tikka masala without the chicken. It's a pretty simple process everywhere for someone who wants to enjoy the flavors of what the Tikka masala has to offer without the meat. The meat or tofu here is added later anyways, so it really isn't a problem. I didn't want the paneer (tofu) option either since I just wanted to enjoy the gravy with rice.
This request was met with a sorry, I can't do this, because I have to charge you full price and you will not want to pay that! A bias judgemental assumption, without any basis. When I dismissed his assumption in laughter and said, it's ok, you can charge me full price, can you make it? He sighed and reply, well, I only make whats in the menu. I expressed my reason for not having it with meat or tofu, and confirmed, the protein is added later, yet, the resentment continued. Finally when I spoke to him in Hindi, explaining my reason, he sighed again but agreed. Felt like I had to hustle just to order food! 😞
To food preparation... He took over 25 minutes to warm up the already premade gravy for the Tikka masala and made it super think. Great, no worries.
Finally came the portion, and here is what really ground my gears... The size of the container is 16 ounces. He filled it up a little over half, hence, 8, may be 9 ounces. To top it off, this did not come with naan or roti which is pretty standard! I paid over $22 for rice and gravy! Lol 🤣
I was so disappointed seeing this, it put a grin of disappointment on my face questioning, why? Why is this owner in business? To make money? Or it being a by product of good food and service?
I see food along with music and a handful of other things that helps bring people, communities and cultures together. Having such a short hand and nay attitude is very disappointing to see in such a good vibey environment!
Lastly we ordered a dosa, momos, and the tikka masala. From a flavor standpoint, the dosa, was good tasting. The sambhar that comes with it was also good, but then again the portion was filled only halfway to the bowl, but let's ignore that. The moms felt dry and the flavor wasn't quite authentic to what an indo/Asian fusion dish would have. The Tikka masala sauce was pretty unauthentic and unflavorful. It felt more like a tamato based curry than a Tikka masala which has a very different masala pallet. The sauces unfortunately as well were not flavorful and we're missing the zing a sauce would offer that helps complement itself with the main dish.
I would recommend coming to the market as it's a vibrant environment and give the momo spot a shot. If you overlook the portion size and super high pricing, may be your experience might be different than mine!
Great masala dosa and coconut chutney, sambar (lentil soup) was also very good
Recommended dishes: Veggie Momo's, Masala Dosa, Coconut Chutney

Very delicious masala, dosa, and Lentil sambar soup! My favorite I always get it when I’m here. It’s always consistent. Fairly priced speedy pick up. Very delicious. Super great value.

MomoDosa is a delightful gem in Minneapolis, offering a vibrant fusion of Nepalese and Indian street food. Their Momo—Nepali steamed dumplings filled with fresh ingredients—are a must-try, especially when paired with their tomato chutneys. The dosas are equally impressive, boasting crispy, gluten-free crepes with savory fillings like spiced potatoes and ground meats. I particularly enjoyed the Keema dosa (with light cheese) and the Chicken momo. Highly recommended!!

What’s good at Moma Dosa?
First, the dosa. Years ago, our favorite dosa places were the Dosa King and Udupi/Nalapak. With the closure of those two places, we hunted for conveniently-located restaurants with great dosa. Now Moma Dosa is the treasure at the end of our hunt.
Second, the momo. Most Indian restaurants don’t serve momo, which is traditionally a Nepali/Tibetan dish. Indeed, most Indian restaurants don’t serve dosa, which is a South Indian dish. How fortunate we are to have a place in the heart of the Twin Cities which serves both.
Finally, I’ve had limited but pleasant experiences with other dishes, such as the mixed vegetable curry.

As a momo lover, Momo Dosa at Malcolm Yards in Minneapolis has captured my heart, and dosa has quickly become my new favorite! Their perfectly steamed momos and crispy dosas are a treat, and they also serve a delicious chicken tikka masala that keeps me coming back again and again. With high-quality food, prompt service, and the vibrant ambiance of Malcolm Yards, this spot is an absolute must-visit place.

Dosa, being one of my favorite South Indian dish and Momo is hands down Best Nepali dish, MomoDosa is the go to place. I love their masala dosa. It has perfectly seasoned potato filling with sambhar. Momo is mind blowing. It’s juicy with perfectly blended spiced filling. Yummy!!!

MomoDosa at Malcolm Yards is a great place to go with a group. I had the bison momo, which were delicious. The momo are cute little steamed things filled with your choice of filling and each one is about two bites, so ideal for sharing with someone that got another shareable at another place. The bison filling was nicely herbed and the two dipping sauces provided two completely different additional flavors.
Another great thing about Malcolm Yards is that it is right on a bike path, so it is convenient to get to by bike. From East River Road, you can take the Dinkytown Greenway or from Energy Park Drive and Raymond, the other end of the bike path along the U of M Transitway.
The combination of exceptional food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere makes it a must visit. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a memorable meal with your family, I highly recommend going to Momo Dosa!!

I have been a patron of Momodosa for the past two years and I have never been disappointed. Whether it is the juicy bison Momo, (they have other kinds as well) or the crispy masala Dosa or the creamy chicken tikka masala. Every dish in this place is delicious! They have two locations one in Malcolm Yards Market and the other at the Midtown Global Market.

Our go-to spot at Malcom Yards! Brought our newborn and tried the bison momos this time. They’re delicious despite a bit of a wait. Staff are always super friendly. We also love their mango lassi which is a refreshing yogurt drink.

I love the dosa at this restaurant so much that sometimes I eat it for lunch and then have delivery send to me for dinner. If you are gluten free and miss carbs, do I have a treat for you - dosas!
