    We ordered a variety of dishes since it was our first time here, from their dumplings to Himalayan curry, tikka masala, veggie thali, soya chaad skewers and garlic naan. Have to say the highlights for me was their tikka masala (flavorful with nice creamy texture) as well as their garlic naan which is soft and fresh with burnt edges that gives off touch of smokiness to the taste. Love the soya chaad (vegetarian soy protein meat) skewers that comes with salad or the fragrant rice option. I chose the latter and the dipping sauce was the highlight. It's so refreshing, and zesty. Great ambiance with plenty parking spots.

    Simple like home dine in eatery in an unassuming strip mall in Sunnyvale. Prices are reasonable. We got the spring rolls (good but nothing special. ) the chilli veg momo (vvv good a must get ) and veg fried rice with egg, which was also v tasty. All in all, would def come back again.

    Chatpate Waiwai

    As a Nepalese, my favorite food from this restaurant is their chatpate & jhol momo (must try!). Normally, I order veg jhol momo & it's always yum. Jhol taste is similar to that of Nepal. Their chowmein is good too. Chai is how you'd normally expect. I also ordered Prawn Thukpa and it was 6/10. They have plenty of outdoor seating and you can take your dog (but not allowed inside)! The owners are easygoing, polite & friendly. You can always strike a good conversation. I take my dog often. We had a conversation once; they asked me about my dog & told me about theirs. They gave her water too. The servers are great and check on you often. Dining there is a good experience - both inside & outside. It's cozy. They turn on the heaters if you need it (when you sit outside).

    It was my first time trying Nepal cuisine and I'm absolutely obsessed! We ordered the crispy paneer momos, veggie momos, buffalo momos, garlic naan, lamb skewers, and goat curry. The momos here are fantastic, the filling is so flavorful and the dough is the perfect consistency! I also loved the jhol sauce that you can order on the side. It's creamy and was the perfect sauce to dip the momos in. The garlic naan was buttery and the perfect side to the meal. The goat curry had so much flavor and the actual goat was so tender and cooked perfectly. The lamb skewers were also extremely tender and served with a nice refreshing salad! The service was kind and extremely friendly. She was patient and did a really great job explaining the menu. The inside of the restaurant is large and clean and they also have ample outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back!

    Paneer Momo and Chicken Momo
    Sonia S.

    This was my first time at California Momo Kitchen and it was a great time. The waitress and the lady who brought out our food were so friendly! The restaurant is large with lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating and they're in a shopping center with lots of parking. The food overall is very good. I had the chicken kothey Momo, paneer kothey Momo and johl Momo, johl is usually my favorite type but at California Momo Kitchen I really enjoyed the paneer one, you could taste the veggies in it which added extra flavor. It was my first time trying chicken chilli and the mustang aloo, I enjoyed both but was really wowed with the aloo. The aloo was cooked perfectly, it was warm and crispy and the added seasoning on top were phenomenal. I expected the chicken chilli to be spicier but it wasn't, it was good but I think it fell short on overall flavor.

    Great service. Staff was so friendly! The best Nepalese food that I've ever had. I highly recommend. Great spacious restaurant with comfortable seats.

    Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Cozy interior with ample seating. We were a large group of 15+ and they were happy to accommodate with a reservation. Our table ordered a variety of menu items, and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I tried the lamb momo kothey (pan seared) and chicken curry. The lamb momo was very flavorful and came with a portion of curry which added even more flavor. The pan seared part was good but it wasn't very crispy; I'd be curious to try their original form. The chicken curry was also very good and flavorful - would highly recommend. Unfortunately since everything is made fresh to order, this made it difficult with larger parties like ours to get food at similar times. Food was a bit slow to come out (took at least 30 mins) and the first person to get their food waited until their food got entirely cold before the last person got theirs. Perhaps it's not the best option for a large group dining in.

    chicken momos, kothey style, and garlic naan bread.
    Scott F.

    4.0: Chicken momos, kothey style. filling is very flavorful without being too salty. The wrapper is ok; a little too thin and soft. I prefer something thicker and stiffer, with more QQ. The Kothey pan frying improves it. 4.0: Garlic Naan bread; Great flavor. But a little too thin / soft. There is a 12.5% service charge, which the menu states replaces the tip. However, when you pay on the handheld POS, they don't remind you that the tip is already included; you need to remember to skip the tip.

    Chicken Thali, Garlic Naan, Roti

    Momo city This place is pretty close to where I live so figured I should give it a shot. Tucked away in the back of an unassuming plaza, this place actually has fantastic food. *Sampler Momo - My order of preference: Lamb, Chicken, Paneer, Veggie. All came out hot with plenty of juice. The skin is the perfect thickness and filling was tender. Loved the basil tomato sauce on the side. *Chicken Thali - Loved the variety and an incredible value. The chicken curry was tender and very heavily spiced. It came with a bean soup, assorted roasted veggies, fresh xuecai (loved this addition!), pickled veggies, and basmati rice *Garlic Naan - Always a hit for me. They do it right *Roti - Healthy option to soak up the meal. Nothing crazy, but I asked for some ghee on the side to dip in haha Service here is excellent. Prices super reasonable. Will be coming back

    I was starving after work and craving Indian food--with a twist. I found this spot near my job in Sunnyvale and decided to give it a try. The menu features a mix of Indian and Nepali cuisine, with plenty of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The paneer momos were delicious! I also tried their samosas, veggie chow mein, and lacha paratha with tikka masala sauce. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The food was great, the customer service was excellent, and the place has a warm, family-friendly vibe. I'll definitely be back!

    vegetable chowmein
    Grace X.

    I had the vegetable chow mein delivered for a work lunch, it was really good. Very hefty portion, and pretty good ratio of noodles to vegetables, unlike some places that barely give any veggies. The menu has lots of vegetarian options but it's not very clear what items are vegan. I did find an allergen chart someone posted as a photo on Yelp and so I went off of that, although I couldn't find this chart anywhere on their website.

    Chicken Momo (Kothey)
    Rakshit P.

    Went here for lunch. The friendly host helped us find a table. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is spacious. We ordered the veg and chicken (kothey) momos along with the mustang aloo. Everything was very flavorful. The momos frankly didnt need any sauce with it. Also the green covering of the veg momo actually had spinach instead of green food color that some of the other places use. Mustang aloo was also tasty. Spicy, kinda crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Will be back here for more.

    Paneer Momo - 6 Pc jhol style
    Apex S.

    We were very excited to have Nepali momos and this met and exceeded our expectations. We tried three styles of momos: Paneer jhol style (ie in a curry) Veggie kothey style (ie stemmed followed by pan fried) Chicken chili style (sauteed in a red chili sauce with bell peppers and onions) Apart from that, we also ordered the chicken kebab with a salad, chow mein, and samosa. Each dish was delicious. There wasn't a single thing that we didn't enjoy. Five stars for flavor and taste but also for the service. We reached almost at closing time but they served us with a smile and didn't rush us at all. It also matched their decor which is warm and inviting. Would hands down recommend this restaurant for food, service, and ambiance.

Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different and very disappointing. We ordered the Vijayawada Boneless Biryani and the Fry Piece Biryani. The boneless biryani was extremely spicy and had only about 6 pieces of chicken with a huge amount of gravy. This was nothing like the biryani we had during our first visit. We brought this to the person's attention while the food was right in front of him. Instead of acknowledging the issue, he initially told us that wasn't true. He eventually said sorry, but then told us they couldn't compensate us because the biryani was already over. We never even asked for compensation, so that response was especially upsetting and unnecessary. The Fry Piece Biryani was also very underwhelming. What makes this more disappointing is that we specifically came back because our first experience was so good. We genuinely loved the Vijayawada Boneless Biryani during our first visit and were excited to have it again. Unfortunately, the food quality was completely different this time, and the way our concern was handled made the experience even worse. I really hope the restaurant can be more consistent with the food and, more importantly, listen to customers when they point out a genuine issue.

They were one of the few places still open, and we're really glad we stopped in. The restaurant was quiet with only a couple of other tables, which made for a nice, relaxing lunch. Every dish tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were huge for the price. Our favorite by far was the garbanzo bean roll. It was packed with flavor, and I'd honestly come back just for that. The Himalayan chicken was another winner. We ordered the dark meat, and it was incredibly juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. We also tried the YYWAIWAI, a popular street food dish. It reminded me a little of chaat, but I was expecting more crunch. Ours was a little soft and soggy, so it's probably not something I'd order again. The only dish I'd skip is the garlic pesto naan. It was pretty flat, oily, and just didn't do much for us. Even with a couple of dishes that weren't our favorites, everything else was so good that we're already talking about coming back to explore more of the menu. It's always fun finding a spot that's a little off the beaten path, and this one definitely earned a return visit.
