Finally we have a good momo place in Albany. Hands down the Chilly Momos and chicken steamed momos are the best!

This is not a HALAL spot.
They do not have halal certification. They are using the Halal logo, they sell pork along with the chicken and beef. The contamination must be 100%. They do not use separate utensils either. So please be aware!!!
Food might be good but we didn't get to try it because it absolutely was not halal.

Delicious food in a relaxed setting. Nepalese cuisine served fresh and tasty. The kind of endeavor that is an asset and deserves to flourish.

Heard about them. So wanted to try but very disappointed with the food quality and taste. Ordered steamed momo and take a look at the pictures. The momo were sticking together. Everything was coming out from inside. Not coming back..

We are lovers of Momo, especially when it's a halal shop. I could not be any happier. We ordered chicken chowmein, c Momo. The spicyness was incredibly tasty. Chowmein was very fresh and well-seasoned.

I just heard about a Nepali restaurant in Albany and I had to give it a try.

It's right at the beginning of Central Ave in Albany NY in the old Trustco Bank location. The restaurant is tiny but the yellow toned walls remind me of a Caribbean or Mexican restaurant. As I observed the multi colored flags are a common decor in a Mexican and Nepali restaurant.

This restaurant has 6 to 8 tables, with views covering Townsend Park, homeless people on Central Ave and some brick buildings on Washington Ave. The restaurant is well maintained and clean with good friendly service.

The menu is limited. If it's working and the owners are making money, no comments and skip through. If they are looking for some recommendations, I would probably have them add more menu items as the food was flavorful.

We ordered:
combo set which comes with chowmein, fried momo and steam momo. Best value
Jhol momo: almost tastes like minis in lentils soup. But the soup is made out of a tomato base.l which is spicy and tangy
Chili momo: was my favorite, my son who can handle spicy food was sweating, this dish is made with stir fried chilies, onions, bell pepperane tomatoes.

You have a variety of choices with the filling inside the momos. Vegetarians can choose from mushroom, veggies or chives. Meat options include pork, chicken and beef.

In addition they have the chaiya, which is a Nepali tea. It's different and if you like bubble tea, you may like it. It's milky and sugary tea with some spices. There are only a limited people who have passed the tea making test, ones my friend, a masala tea on a train journey in India or me, myself and I.

I would recommend the restaurant and probably be back again. I wish the restaurant owners the best of luck with a lot of restaurants nearby shitting down.

I did see a couple of yelp-ies at the restaurant as well
