A tiny, bustling Nepalese corner spot in Dalston famous for huge portions of dumplings, spicy sauces, and a strict eat-and-go policy.
Ordering Strategy
You must arrive with your full party to be seated. Mix textures by ordering both steamed and fried momos, and definitely get a side of the curry sauce (jhol) if your dumplings don't come in it.
What to order
Jhol Momo
The signature serve featuring 'pillowy softness and delicate cases' drowned in a 'sweet, hot and spicy sauce' that reviewers call 'three-bite bursts of flavour'.
Momo & Noodle Combo
A combination of chow mein and dumplings described as 'very large portions' and 'very big portions and spicy', ideal for those looking to be completely full.
Vegan Mango Lassi
A 'sweet, creamy' drink that is highly recommended as a 'light dessert' to perfectly offset the spicy main dishes.
Thali of the day
A dish comprising several curries, light soup, and fluffy rice; the 'freshness' of the vegetable curries provides a great contrast to the 'delightfully dense dumplings'.

Good to know
No reservations accepted. The space is extremely tight and turnover is fast; staff are strict about the 'whole party present' rule. BYOB is not an option, but beer is cheap.
