Zuzu Momo, a 2020 addition to Everett, does plenty of takeout and delivery business, but its fun ambiance also makes for a nice dine-in spot (the full bar doesn’t hurt.) The team’s goal is to mix street food with fine dining, melding “Nepali culture with a quintessential Bostonian vibe.” There’s an extensive menu packed with biryani, curries, wings, and lots more, and there are eight different momo preparations (choose chicken, pork, or vegetable for each) — as well as a bloody mary topped with fried momos, because why not? Go a little fancy with the momo tikka masala or a little simpler and spicier with the new road style c momos, fried momos sauteed with onions, bell pepper, red chile sauce, and Sichuan pepper. Momo lovers can take them home frozen, too, in packs of 25, 50, or 100.

This tiny counter is tucked away in the back of a small convenience store that specializes in South Asian ingredients. There are a few seats for dining in, but this is primarily a takeout spot; you’ll find a few outdated menus floating around on third-party delivery sites, but your best bet is to just show up in person. You’ll likely find a few types of momos (c, jhol, etc.) and a small selection of other dishes, such as chow mein and choila.

This Teele Square restaurant — which features a full bar (including absurdly cheap margaritas) — serves a huge menu that includes Indian and Nepali dishes. Momos come steamed and filled with vegetables or chicken; chile momos are also available.

The name of Tasty Mo:Mo, a fast-casual Magoun Square spot, gets right to the point; momo lovers will find, yes, plenty of tasty dumplings here, available with beef, chicken, pork, vegan, or aloo (potato) fillings. Get them steamed, pan-fried, deep-fried, in a vegetable-based soup, jhol-style, or chile-style, which packs some serious heat. Chow mein, thukpa (noodle soup), special-occasion sel roti, and a few other items round out the menu.

Davis Square staple Martsa on Elm, serving Tibetan food in Somerville for nearly 20 years, moved into a swankier new space a few doors down in late 2020. The full-service restaurant offers beer and wine alongside its lengthy food menu, with the momo selection including beef, chicken, or vegetable filling. They’re served steamed or pan-fried and make for a great starter before digging into Martsa’s curries, noodle dishes, and more. Try the butter tea or ginger honey lime tea for a warming accompaniment.

This friendly counter-service Union Square restaurant — sibling to Cafe Momo in Manchester, New Hampshire — serves a mix of Indian and Nepali cuisine and offers a bit of seating for dining onsite (with a kettle full of complimentary chai), as well as takeout and delivery. For meat eaters, the buffalo momos are the play here, while vegetarians should try the spinach and paneer, plantain, or vegetable. Chicken, goat, and lamb fillings are also available.

Another Union Square spot, the casual Himalayan Kitchen offers a mix of Nepali, Indian, and American dishes, including some fusion — think chicken tikka “naanwiches” and palak paneer pizza. For momos, choose from vegetable, chicken, or pork, served steamed, pan-fried, johl-style, or spicy c-style. The counter-service restaurant is mostly geared toward takeout and delivery, but there’s a little bit of seating (and some nice decor) for dine-in. The lunch specials, served daily, are a solid deal.

Cambridge’s Base Crave, sibling to Mitho in Winchester, leans Nepali with dishes like momos and choila, although the restaurant’s stated cuisine is “fusion gourmet...cuisines from all around the world.” Base Crave serves its momos steamed, with a choice of chicken, vegetable, paneer and spinach, lamb, buffalo, or wild boar filling. (The vegetable filling is vegetarian.)

Cambridge’s Kantipur Cafe serves Nepali and Indian cuisine. (When it opened earlier in the pandemic, there were pizzas and subs, too, a nod to the owners’ pizzerias they ran in Michigan before moving to Massachusetts, but the menu has since been simplified.) Chicken or vegetable momos come steamed, pan-fried, jhol-style, chile-style, or charred in the tandoori oven.

Open for over 20 years in Cambridge’s Central Square, Rangzen boasts a large Tibetan menu and cozy dine-in vibes equally suitable for a casual meal with friends or a date night. The restaurant’s momos come steamed with house-made hot sauce and a small soup on the side; fillings include vegetables, chicken, beef, or lamb. Try some butter tea to drink. Take home some frozen momos in a pack of 25 or 50.

Unlike the other restaurants on this map, Trident isn’t Nepali or Tibetan; it’s a bookstore and cafe serving a sizable American diner-style menu. But vegetarian momos have been periodically offered since way back in 1992, introduced by employee Tsering Wangdi, who became known as the “Momo Man.” They returned to the menu in 2021 when another Tibetan chef joined the kitchen staff. The restaurant’s new “Momo Gal” is using Wangdi’s original recipe. When available, Trident’s momos are served steamed or fried with soy sauce and peanut sauce.

Serving a mix of Indian and Nepali food, West Roxbury’s Himalayan Bistro offers steamed momos with vegetable, chicken, lamb, or plantain filling. The latter is vegan. There’s a lunch buffet at Himalayan Bistro, and the restaurant also hosts private events in a function room that fits up to 100.
