The momos here are amazing! You just cannot go wrong. From what I've tried so far, the fried momos, tandoori, and sizzler are delicious! The Chaat was pretty good, too. You can also buy them frozen so you can make them at home whenever you want. So dope! The restaurant is so simple yet so cute. It's cozy and the wall decor is funny and artsy. I've come twice already and will be back for more.
Yessss! Momos of every flavor, cooking style and filling here, yum! Met up with friends here for dinner on a freezing winter weekend evening. The store was on the emptier side probably given the weather outside, with only about a third of their 30 or so seats taken. Seating is first come first serve, no formal waiter service, you order at the counter and they bring the food when it's ready. Staff were helpful in explaining what each item was, the protein options (a choice of chicken or beef for each), and level of spiciness (not too spicy though the accompanying sauces had a kick). We ordered-- - Kothey momo $9.99: selected the beef filling, this was a lightly pan-fried dumpling with a thin dough wrapper and savory minced beef filling. Served with a medium spicy dipping sauce. Good! - Thai soup momo $12.99: came in a curry broth with vegetables, my friend ordered the chicken momos and they came piping hot in the soup. Tasty and warm comfort food for a very cold evening. - Chili momo $11.99: deep fried and served with a tangy sweet and sour chili sauce, peppers and onions, my friend ordered the beef version. The spice level on the chili sauce was pretty mild. Yummy. - Samosa chaat momo $11.99: sprinkled with diced tomato, onion, cilantro doused with green chutney and sitting in a shallow bed of yogurt sauce, these deep fried momo were so flavorful. - Tandoori momo $11.99: I'm not sure if these were baked in a tandoori oven but they were sure seasoned with spices to taste like it , and delicious! Tender and juicy chicken filling. - Sandeko momo $11.99: another deep fried momo (this time I asked for beef) topped with a chunky sauce of soybeans, tomato and onion, filled with minced meat. This was another tasty plate! All the momos we ordered came with 8 pieces, while some of the basic flavors come with a couple more pieces. A single plate is a moderate amount of food for a meal though we ended up ordering six different types to share and try. Each stood out in a different way and I'd heartily recommend all. If there was just one critique it was since it was so cold that night (in the teens Fahrenheit) and no outside wind door that whenever a new customer or delivery pickup driver came in, a rush of freezing cold air also came in. It was quite chilly inside the restaurant for that reason and I had to eat with my jacket on. However that didn't detract from the tasty momos, and I'll certainly be back!
I was in Jackson Heights yesterday and wanted to get some Momos and saw that Momo Crave is very popular. Went there and saw lots of different momo platters. Decided to go with the main dish of steamed chicken momos. Comes in 10 for $10.99. Also got chicken fried rice for $9.99. Had to wait a while for the food to get ready and decided to use the bathroom in the meantime. The bathroom surprisingly fit my baby stroller even though it was so narrow! I did not need to open the bathroom door or leave my baby unattended outside the bathroom! Anyways, the restaurant was not that crowded on a Saturday afternoon so there were enough seats for me to sit and wait. After some time, I decided to dine in despite the fact that my food was supposed to be takeout. The staff did not complain so I enjoyed my momos and fried rice with my daughter. The momos looked really good and big! Very different than Chinese dumplings that I always get. These momos are round! Also the stuffing tastes different and has some ingredient that stood out in my mouth! The Kathmandu sauce added some flavor although I like to enjoy the momos without any sauce so you can taste it raw without any added flavors. The sauce tasted kind of like subtle peanut sauce. However, the momos were really good! I chowed them down really fast! The fried rice was pretty good too. Lots of peas and carrots apart from the chicken. Chicken was so tender that I can slice the long pieces into bits with my spoon. That's how tender they are. You don't even need a sharp knife! Rice was basmati rice and very long grain! Thin and long rice! My favorite! Very seasoned and flavorful! Will be heading back next time to get more of their other momo flavors!
I came to Momo Crave excited to finally try jhol momos for the first time. The dish came out very picturesque: a bowl of steamed dumplings swimming in a vibrant, creamy-looking sauce. Flavor-wise, the jhol was tangy, sesame-heavy, and had a nutty richness vaguely reminiscent of Fujianese ban mian 拌面 - which, admittedly, isn't my favorite. If you're a fan of those earthy, peanut-y, slightly sharp flavors, you might really enjoy it. For me personally, it just wasn't quite my thing. That said, the momos themselves were well made - soft, juicy, and super comforting. The meal took about 15-20 minutes to arrive. The vibe of the place was casual and chill, and the staff were kind. I'm definitely not writing this place off & will be back to try their chili momos next time.
Absolutely fire Firstly, their menu options are so tempting - good luck picking out what you want. I ordered Chaat momos and my friend got Chili momos. I added one Mango lassi. The Chaat momos were really really good. Perfect blend of spice, hot and cold combination and flavor. The mango lassi was refreshing as well. My friend liked the Chili momos a lot as well. It wasn't very spicy - but still very unique and good. Absolutely recommend.
Jackson Heights is the capital of momos, the Tibetan dumplings. Momo Crave is on the fringe of it, just 2-3 blocks away, on the other side of BQE. The exterior is very unassuming, but it does have a nicely made signage. The interior is pleasant, with small tables along the perimeter, leaving the center of the space unobstructed. Good feng-shui I might say. Walls are decorated with random framed posters and art, some are rather whimsical. The bathroom sign says "Pee Pee Room". Yes, someone has a sense of humor indeed. This being a fusion restaurant, the menu is fun and interesting; but simple and not overwhelming at the same time because it specializes on momos. And all of them are very affordably priced, come with 8 pieces. You really can't go wrong with any. You order and pay at the counter first, and they bring the dishes to your table. Here were our orders (PS. the menu prices are cash prices. The prices reference below are credit card prices): Chilli Momo $12.47. The momos are in their traditional dumpling form, fried I believe, and coated with chilli sauce. Sauce wasn't very spicy, a bit tangy and felt a bit heavy. Good. Tandoori Momo $12.47. Round momos on skewers. This is a nice fun take on momos. Also good. Thai Soup Momo $11.99. Momos are shaped like the Chinese soup dumplings and served over Thai curry soup. This was my favorite. The fragrance of lemongrass accentuated the dish, and the light curry provided the abundance of moist for every bite. There is no question that we will be back to try the rest of their many other takes on momos.
I had this spot bookmarked for so long. There were so many different types of momos and all of them sounds so convincing that it was hard to pick. We settled for the fried momo and Thai soup momo. We ordered at the counter when entering and they bring it to the table. The fried momo had a nice light crispy texture. However, the momo were so salty. The sauce also didn't do very much. The Thai soup momo were delicious. I really like the lemongrass in the soup. The only downside was the momo got stuck to the paper bowl. I usually suck up the juicy goodness, but couldn't with this one, but I enjoyed the broken pieces like noodles. The shop is really bright and carefree. It is self serve and I really like that, no pressure at all. The bathroom sign and shop sign on the shop adds a nice simple and humorous touch. I will come back to try again, since it is different and who can say no to momo.
I absolutely love Momo Crave. The staff is amazing--they give off a warm vibe and are always welcoming people with a smile. I've been to this store so many times now that it feels like home. The momos are so tasty, and my favorite is the Tandoori Momo! Their chicken chili is very flavorful--the meat is tender and the fried peppers and onions are a great touch! There is still a lot that I want to try from this place, but I don't want to gatekeep, so go ahead and give this place a shot! I do want to say that I wasn't very fond of the Jhol Momo, but that's because the soup base is an acquired taste. It's a Nepali style soup base, and if you'd like to give it a try, you can. But it had a hint of a bitter taste that I didn't like too much. The Chaat Momo was another type of Momo that I've tried, and it was really good!
A long pending review for this place! I had visited Momo Crave while visiting New York last Christmas break. And may I say, my friends and I were obsessed with this place. So much so that sometimes, the agenda of the day was to catch a bus, and 2 subway just to eat momo here :) Starting with the place.. its decent, not too small or big (from NY standard). The ambience is tasteful (few artwork on the wall) and the place is clean. We usually found seating immediately. The staff was courteous and the service was damn fast, Between the four of us, we would devour the incoming momo plates within minutes. Absolutely loved the tandoori chicken momo!! Its too good :) The others were also ok, tried: chilli chicken, veggie momo In my 10 day NYC trip, I went to Momo Crave thrice, and would go back whenever I am visiting!

This spot is such a little gem. The momo's are one Of a kind and very different and flavorful. I got the chili, taco and chaat momos. They were amazing. Great to share. Love this place! read more

Their service was terrible and food was good but just for first few bites as oil takes over the taste. When we reached here and ordered the food they said it'll take about 15 min. We asked if there's anywhere we can sit and they told us to check outside. Every single seats were taken so we sat in outside a bar next to Momo crave. After over 50 min our food arrived, but not all at once. We ordered sukuti, Bara, momo skewers and C momos. We didn't ask, but the server told us they are out of Bara sauce and gave us tomato salad. Everything tasted good after 50 min long wait, but we couldn't eat more than few bites. This place is definitely not suitable for anyone health conscious. I understand these items require frying or sauteing, but I started feeling nauseous shortly after I ate, so I decided to get rid of the rest. read more

Flavor. Just stop the review right there. I'm done, but shall continue. Came here on a Sunday five minutes before opening time--recipe for a bad experience with just about any restaurant. We were welcomed into the tiny, cramped space that maybe seats a dozen and waited the requisite five minutes before the air conditioning was turned on. First thing we notice before we ordered: real country music! No, dummy, not Himalayan, Nashville--circa 1950-1970. A Spotify playlist? Ernest Tubb, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, Glenn Campbell, even a 70s entry by the Orange Lord Voldamort (hint... a New Yorker currently occupying the White House) sycophant Charlie Daniels. Where was I? Holy crap this is interesting food with big flavors. Sandeko momo, a mixture of toasted soybean, cilantro, tomato of some unspecified flavoring and other unusual tastes. It's said to be their best seller and I see why. A real mouth pleasure bomb. Then the plain, more what you expect momo drenched in a savory peanut flavored white sauce. Unusual, pleasing. Added to that an order of spicy chicken wings that could have passed for close to Korean Fried Chicken (KFC, you knew that, right?). All this for $20? Crazy pricing, and why you should see for yourself. Good grief there's even a taco momo. Everything we had was spot on. If this was located in Manhattan they'd have 600 reviews, not 60. If you come: no public restroom. The "spicy" option is not particularly spicy, but that's not a criticism Credit cards including Apple Pay accepted Limited space, no reservations accepted There's a hand sanitizer dispenser on the wall. Handi-Wipes would be a nice addition No alcoholic beverages, no pork products Said to be Halal by other Yelpers. Literally steps off the 69th Street subway to the North read more

Extremely disappointed with this restaurent and its customer service. This would be my last time ordering from here. I ordered 3 jhol momos for pick up. I was asked to come after 15 minutes for pick up . Here are the few problems i had today. 1. when i went to restaurent there were 3 people eating and restaurent was quiet. I went to the counter and greeted the guy . He nevere responded back and pretended he was busy when nobody was around. Common guys you are running a restaurent and you need customers to return back. A simple eye contact with a customer or hello doesn't harm no matter how busy you are. It will make your customers feel welcomed in your restaurent. 2. I was acknowledged after i asked him again if my food was ready. My food was ready. It was three plates momo and three 4 oz jhol for the momo. I asked if i could get one extra jhol since i belived 3 jhol is not enough for 3 momos ( have ordered from here before). I was told that i would be charged 50 cents extra for one extra jhol. I paid for it. Common guys you charging customers 50 cents for jhol. Go look at other nepalese restaurent serving jhol momo and see how much they give. Even if you are unreasonable and ask for extra jhol they happily give it to you. One extra 4 oz jhol and you are charging 50 cents to your customers. Do you think customer will be happy? Do you really believe that customer will order from you and not go to red panda, thakali kitchen, woodside cafe , gorkhali kitchen and other nepali restaurants in jackson heights that are loacted only in 5 minutes walking distance? 3. Normally other restaurants give some sauce even if you order jhol momo. I wanted to see if they give that and asked for it. The guy was rude and said they don't give the sauce and it only comes with regular steamed momo and it doesn't come with any other types of momos. I know everybody has a problem but when it comes to customer service and when you are running a restaurent which depends on regular customers you cannot be rude . I would rather go to other restaurants like express eats and woodside cafe which are nearby and order from there instead of going to momo crave. Cheers. read more
Who doesn't like momos?! I swung by this place with my friends after having lunch at Farines. The restaurant is tiny but more on the cozy side. I'm used to having the plain momo's so I was definitely excited to see that there were all these varieties of momos! I got the Beef Sandheko Momo which was quite good. I wish I had more space to try a few of the other options on the menu as well! :) Restaurant - Cozy hole in the wall with a good variety of options and delicious food Quality - the Sandheko was good but I felt like I still like the classic momo's more. Each were made fairly well though so I would definitely consider returning to try other options from their menu Pricing - the prices were fair. Customer service - the service was okay. The person at the counter really wasn't helpful in helping figure out which momo to get. The store wasn't that busy at the time either so definitely felt like he could've been slightly more helpful. As i said before, I'd definitely want to try other options from the menu to see how they are. read more

Definitely the best momo place in the area! Heads up, they have very limited inside seating. They do have outdoor seating btw! Got the steamed chicken momo, chili chicken momo, and tandoori beef momo. The meat was seasoned perfectly and super juicy. The dipping sauce for the steamed momos was slightly spicy, but delicious. The chili momo had a sweet and spicy sauce. My favorite was definitely the tandoori momos! Would definitely come back. read more

Worst experience I never had. The cashier refused my payment from my DEBIT card short of $0.80. She said that the owners would make her pay the difference if she did not go out their $10 minimum. I came to this restaurant with 4 other people and I was the only one refused my order as I was the last in line to order and pay. I sat here and watched my friends eat. The register woman knows NOTHING of the menu. She was obnoxious. Highly do not recommend. read more

Decore: 10 Cleanliness: 10 Customer service: 10 Food: 10 Price: 10 This little gem is tucked away in Woodside Queens. It takes us an hour 45 minutes to get here-- that's how good it is. It's a clean cozy spot with limited menu and delicious food. We usually order Taco Momos, beef and chicken momos with soup and beef chow mein. The lady behind the counter is super sweet and very pleasant. You have to wait for a few for your food (freshly made to order) but definitely worth it!! And of course the kids approve. read more
Loved this spot!! Kind of have a hole-in-the-wall type vibe, but we went on a weekday afternoon and were able to sit inside even though it's pretty small. I do think they have an outdoor seating area. I had never had Nepalese food prior to this, so I didn't know what to expect. The Momos were all delicious - fried, steamed, chili, etc. and reasonably priced! The beef soup was pretty bland, but the momos made the experience worth it. Would definitely come here again if I am in town! read more

Cute Nepali restaurant on Woodside that serves chicken, beef, and veggies Momo with different toppings and flavors. They also have rice platters and chow mein. My favorites are the chicken taco Momo with salsa/guacamole/bean paste, Thal or Chaat Momo with yogurt, and Tandoori Momo with grilled Jalapenos and onions. Their spicy sauce in the fridge is good as well! All the condiments and containers are on a counter where you can suit yourself. Will definitely come back to try the noodle soup! read more

Some Nepali chef is experimenting, pushing the envelope, doing it right. Momo Crave takes the Tibetan/Nepali Momo(dumpling) and adds a delicious twist to it, fusing Nepali and Indian staples like Sukuti, Chaat, Tandoori and lathering them on plates of Momo & you know what? It works. It's delicious. Sukuti Momos my favorite, Tandoori momos my least. The Chaat Momo, Sandeko Momo & Jhol momo are delicious as well. read more
Pros: - great momos I got the chicken tandoori. So yummy!! - BYOB on the low if you ask - friendly wait staff - was not crowded at all - cheap for the amount of food you get. I paid $22 for 16 momos and a dish of beef chowmein (shared with my friend I am not that big of an eater) - Really nice owner, we chatted for a little regarding why and when she opened the joint Cons - limited seating maybe (fit a max of 10 people) - No restroom - the beef in my chowmein was pretty hard to chew read more

Came here on a rainy day, thinking of reordering their chili momos. And I had better stick to that because I ordered the chicken fried rice and it was bland. No flavor. I have had a lot better fried rice in "Friends corner" and "Bhangcha ghar". Momo Crave gets 4 star from me solely because of amazing and tasty and spicy and perfectly seasoned their chili momos are. Regular momos are also subpar compared to other momo places near by in Jackson heights. This is a cute little place for a quick stop in the neighborhood, being pretty close by to my house the only reason I would eat from here is because it's convenient for me! And most traditional Nepali places don't serve chili momos! So try those you won't be disappointed. read more

my first time trying momos and i loved it! the employee here was very kind and helped us out when we weren't sure what to order. prices were pretty reasonable too! the noodles were good, but it had a sauce on the side that was very spicy but didn't have much of a flavor. we tried bara, which they told us is a lentil patty. it really reminded me of dosa! we also got mango lassi which isn't pictured. i'm indian and i love mangoes, so i prefer more of a mango taste that this mango lassi didn't really have. everything was pretty good, but i honestly would probably just come back for momos read more

Cute little spot in queens. Seems pretty solid. But there were a few things that made my experience a little less than 5 stars. The whole bathroom-in-the-kitchen thing was weird. I appreciate that they have a bathroom, but could they clean it up a little, make it more acceptable to customers, have the chefs not stare awkwardly at me? I'm also assuming the momos I ate were made with seitan, they were a little suspicious to me at first because I wasn't sure if the proprietor heard my order for vegetarian momos, but if you're a meat eater looking to accommodate vegetarians, looks like other reviewers say anything on the menu can be made vegetarian so that's awesome. But because of this lack of confirmation either by the proprietor or in the receipt I ended up only eating one momo and leaving the rest for my meat eater friends. But the one I ate, the flavor was quite nice! The indoor seating was also a little crowded, but the outdoor seating looked nice! read more

I love the unique variety of momos here and have been a regular customer for a few years now. The tandoori momos are my favorite, but I've also enjoyed chili, sukuti, and taco momos and their chow mein. The prices have slightly gone up over the years, but that is to be expected. They have also now started charging for sauces, which I am disappointed by since sauce is a necessary addition for the dry momos. read more
Great momos, love all of them. I like their twist on momos and the fact that it is halal helps the family! Try their tandoori Momo and their chat Momo I loved it! Stay away from their wings. Below average way over spiced where you can't taste the chicken. If you call yourself a Momo place and you do good momos that all I care about. Try it! read more

Forgot to take more pictures was too busy eating Chicken johl Chili momo beef Fried momo half veggie half beef And chatt (I think, I just showed them a picture and they made it) read more

Ask the Community - Momo Crave
Are there vegetarian momos?
All the momos (to my surprise) can be made veg! So the entire menu is vegetarian friendly! Not all items are vegan friendly, they do use eggs in some elements. Make sure to ask accordingly if you adhere to vegan. Otherwise, vegetarian is fine!
Do they use Halal meat?
I have verbally confirmed with the owner that all meat is Zabihah halal. While they don't post it on a sign, the verbal confirmation was reassuring! Also, they don't serve any pork or alcohol products.
