Nina & her family owns the place. They been open for 4 years. This restaurant is beautifully decorated. We got the Napali green tea, lamb achari jhol, pork momo and naan. I like the strong citrus note of the green tea, it was very soothing. The pork momo were juicy and they make the skin in house as well as the chili sauce (if you like spicy, ask for it). The lamb achari jhol comes with rice, but I recommend you also add an order or two of naan. read more

The food was amazing! The jhol is delicious and the momos were wonderful. The green tea was also very good - enough that we ordered a second cup. The service was perfect and the overall vibe is very relaxing. read more

I just went on a flavor adventure and I don't think I can look at life the same way anymore. Buckle up because this is gonna be a long review: Every dish we ordered was divine yet so different in flavor. I started with the Goat Bhutan: - the menu says fried crispy, which can be confusing to the American brain when you see it. Don't think breaded and fried with dry spices, think more stir-fry for the cooking style reference point. It consists of the majority of goat internal organs (intestines, liver, lungs, stomach, and I think heart) and is sautéed in Nepalis wet seasonings. It's gamey, but not as gamey as deer. I'd say it's somewhere between deer and rabbit. They do a phenomenal job at not overcooking the intestines to the point it's rubbery, and the flavor of those balances out the iron/gamey-ness of the liver. Amazing dish overall! Next up is the buffalo momo, jhol styled: - super tender meat and again cooked to a perfect texture. The wrapper was thick enough to withstand the sauce and never got soggy (I tend to eat slow so this matters to me), and the sauce tasted like there was tomato, lemon, cumin, and turmeric, as well as some other spices. The combination of tomato and lemon was really interesting, it was like a sour taste but leaned more towards acidic and worked really well with the buffalo momo. Then came the chicken momo, chili styled: - the closest thing I can compare this to is sweet and sour sauce but nowhere near as thick or sweet. Again I've never had Nepali food and am just mind blown at the flavors. If you're not as adventurous I would highly recommend starting with this dish, it's a gentle introduction to the cuisine and will not fail you. And for dessert, we had malpuwa: - the best way to describe this to someone with an American pallet is a funnel cake that's not too sweet (in fact it's barely sweet, which I think is perfect). The cardamom is a nice touch, and the flavors seep out as you let it cool but don't let it cool too much! You probably won't have that issue though, despite being stuffed we still finished all 4. The ambiance is beautiful and feels deeply steeped in Nepalese culture, the service is amazing and the staff was kind and answered every question we had, as well as giving us a heads up on certain flavor profiles since we were new to the cuisine. Definitely will be back, such amazing food and overall amazing experience! read more

So I don't typically go do Momo spots often but when I do I expect perfection. Glad to this place was very good! The decor and well well done, it was warm and inviting which is what I want from any restaurant. The service was also very good. He was very attentive and his recommendations were also well done. But the thing that matters the most is food. We ended up getting veggie momos, a peanut salad, papard, paneer curry, veggie chowein and Mango Lassi. I really enjoyed everything except for the paneer curry I am not sure because it's Nepalese style but it wasn't great. The lassi was different as it was more on the yogurt side but I like that kind of lassi but I might be in minority in that lol. Overall great place and I hope to be back if I am in the area. read more

A friend and I decided to check this place out after seeing a Tiktok! When you walk, the restaurant is decorated quite nicely and feels kinda fancy. Our server was friendly and gave us some great recommendations. Pork Momo: (5/5) This was absolutely delicious!!! I would get this again. The momo is like a dumpling and the inside was quite juicy. The skin also had a nice bite to it. Makhmali Chicken: (4/5) The server said this was kinda like butter chicken and it did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and the curry was thick and creamy. Definitely would come back if I visited the area again. read more

The momo's were amazing as well as every entree and appetizer we tried! Highly recommend the chow mein in addition to the Buff Momo's! Had never had water buffalo, but I loved it! 5 stars will definitely be back! read more

Amazing flavors and aromas. Good service. Reasonable prices for the quality and portion sizes. There's lots of like about the Roadhouse Momo & Grill. Loved the pork momo. Savory pork dumplings with a mixture of Nepalese spices wrapped in a nice pasta. The dipping sauce was also very tasty and similar to a curry. Also recommend checking out the chicken bara: a savory Nepali pancake made from ground black lentils, topped with spiced minced chicken. A real good mix of flavors and textures. Wine list is short but solid. Full bar and cocktail options available. Online orders and reservations can be made via the website https://www.rhmomo.com/store/ read more

I was invited to lunch at this place. Never had Nepalese food and wasn't thrilled. Well, I was wrong. It was some of the best food I've ever eaten. Certainly in Loudoun County. Seasonings are fantastic. Had Chicken Sizzler with veggies, friend had Lamb Chops. Service was wonderful - owners wife took the time to find out our likes and suggested our order. Physical space very clean, beautiful decor and serene atmosphere. So glad to have found this little gem. Who knew? Roadhouse Momo and Grill Ashburn Village Shopping Center 571 291 2487 read more

Service is good, ambiance great, portion size- somewhat ok. Food does not live up to the hype. Certain dishes are good but most are average and oily and a but of an overkill on the use of vinegar in their dishes. In fact on the sweeter side. Verdict: will not be returning. read more

An amazing first time experience trying Nepalese cuisine here at Roadhouse Momo and Grill! Been seeing lots of folks recommend this place, and I literally live like 5 mins away, so of course we had to check the place out! Would also always see and pass by the restaurant, but never thought to go inside. BUT LET ME TELL YOU! The spices, the seasoning, and the meat were cooked to perfection - we were shook! The restaurant itself is very beautiful inside too! I was obsessed with their Sekuwa, and I loved the Makhali Chicken sauce (would just take the Naan and dip it in!). Highly recommend of visiting if in the area~ read more

Me and my husband love this place. The mango lassi is a yummy treat. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but my go-to is the chicken momo's jhol style with a side of their spicy sauce (it's spicy!!) The staff is so friendly and attentive. You won't be disappointed. read more

Roadhouse Momo & Grill - Chicken momo jhol - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Have been here 3+ times. Usually stop by after solidcore in the area. Would probably give 4.5 if I could stars but definitely not 4. I have tried Chicken sekuwa: delicious, juicy and flavorful! The chicken wings were good as well but I would stick with the sekuwa. Tried the chicken momo, it was good and flavorful but not my favorite. Tried the chicken chilli and the flavor was great just pretty heavy dish as it taste deep fried. With friends I have also tried makhmali chicken and chicken curry. They are both delicious!! Makmali is a bit thicker and curry is closer to a soup consistency. The service is great, very helpful with the menu. It can be slower at times due to servers but never longer than 30 minutes for food. The drinks are very creative and yummy as well. The restaurant is also very cute , beautiful decor and very cozy. Will definitely be back again. read more

Roadhouse Momo & Grill - Chicken Sekuwa - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

4.5 stars! Very solid place for Nepalese food! Looks a bit extravagant with the decor and huge Buddha statues. Staff is very attentive and friendly. The manager checked on us multiple times and even offered us a very spicy chili sauce. She really warned us and said to eat very little. She did not lie... SO SPICY... but unfortunately, spicy was all I could taste, no flavor at all. I asked a server about the Nepali Famous Soda Drink like what it was and taste like. It was not a very clear answer, but I got it anyway and immediately regretted it. It was straight up carbonated salt water. I've had salted SWEET sodas and enjoyed them. My friend ordered Sprite so we could mix the two to make it a little better. We started off with Chicken Wings marinated in traditional Nepali spices. It came with lime which made it absolutely perfect to complement the flavors on the wings! We also had steamed Chicken and Buff Momos that came with Jhol on the side as sauce. All very juicy and flavorful! I loved the Chicken Chowmein!!!! So much flavor and deliciousness! I got to try some of my friend's Makhmali Chicken (similar to Butter Chicken), and it did not disappoint!! Creamy and delicious. I did not love their Roti since it was more hard and dense than flaky. I also loved my friend's Aloo Gobi (potatoes and cauliflower). Would order this and the makhmali chicken again. read more

Ambience : Lovely interiors with spacious seating. One of the best interiors in the area. They have cute embossing of their restaurant name on literally everything you touch. Waiters are very quick on feet and patient. We got some very nice suggestions from them Food: My review is based on 3 visits to this place. I must say they are consistent with their dishes. Chicken chowmein is our absolute favorite. I must say it's best to stick with spicy. We asked for very spicy once and could barely eat. Chowmein has a very authentic taste! Chatamari is the second best in our list. Very unique and quite filling. We had both fried momos and steamed momos both with chicken, nothing to complain here. They were delicious. The chicken burger is not too bad but I don't think I will try that again. Chilli chicken was a little sweet for my liking. We also tried their dessert Jeri swari, I felt the flat bread was too oily. I will definitely go back to try other items on the menu. Definitely impressed by this place. Parking: there is always ample parking in the common parking lot. read more

I'll say it loudly - best service around. They are very concerned about the spices and allergies. He also guided us well. Food is good, genuine and elevated. We sampled a number of dishes all were very unique. Why did I not give them a 5? It's a 4.5. One reason was the momos - good but there is a gas station in Dulles better and the chilly buff was tough - tasty but real tough. read more

This is my very first experience with Nepalese food, and it won't be my last! I had no idea what a momo was, and it is a delicious dumpling. I shared that with my husband and he got the goat curry! His curry was so tender and the broth very delicious. Note we got the hot sauce for the dumplings and it was HOT! It will light up your taste buds, without a doubt. I loved it! Sorry for not having other food photos, but we were hungry, intrigued and anxious to try everything. You won't be disappointed! The beauty of NoVA is the ability to try far away foods and experience it first hand! We liked several things on the menu and will return to try more! read more

Finally got around to visiting this place, kicking myself for not coming here sooner. It's beautiful, really nicely decorated. The owners could not be more wonderful and helpful, explaining everything on the menu. Being a first timer to Nepalese food, I appreciated it. I had the khana set which is made up of several small dishes of vegetables, and I choose chicken. All served with rice. My wife had chowmein which was incredible, very different firm what you get at a Chinese restaurant. Wait ! Save room for jeri swari, a fantastic dessert, kinda like funnel cake meets taco. Will be back soon. read more

Thought the food was good! Felt like it could have a little bit more spice (not just the spicy kind, but different spices overall). The staff was very sweet and attentive , and the decor was also pretty nice. We arrived sharply at opening time during the weekend and it wasn't too packed. It was nice to see Newari (an ethnic group in Nepal) cuisine on the menu since most of Nepali restaurants in the DMV don't have Newari cuisine. I liked the paneer chilly the best. read more

I've seen this place on Yelp come up a lot so we finally decided to grab it for a Friday Night dinner. I'm not too versed in Nepalese food since I've only started eating it in the past few years. I did talk to some family that's had it and got some recommendations from them. We ordered the Chicken Sekuwa, Buff Momo, Chatpate Chicken, and the Goat Curry. I accidentally forgot to set my pickup date and time but I was able to call and they set me straight. Whoever helped me was super polite. Order took about 20 minutes and I was picking up a little more than an hour before they closed. It's located in Ashburn Village Center. Wasn't really busy around there at all at 9PM and the inside only had a few parties there. The inside was nice, not too big. The person who gave me my order was super nice and I think it was the person from the phone. The food traveled well. I wasn't sure about which of the accompaniments went with which dish until later. Off the top, the Buff Momo and the Chicken Sekuwa were our favorites but everything was good! The Momo were a good size and the buffalo meat was so flavorful without being too salty. The chutney that came with had a nice little kick. The Chicken Sekuwa was juicy and also very flavorful. The sauce went well and was more cooling (if that makes sense) than the other foods. The Chicken Chatpate was probably the most flavorful and spicy. Probably one of the spiciest things I've had in a while (I try not to eat spicy stuff too often). The Goat Curry was good flavor wise but I was getting mostly bones. Rice was cooked perfectly though. Overall a pretty nice experience. I'd probably want to eat in next time so I can have everything asap. Definitely worth a look if you haven't had Nepalese food. read more

You must stop by and try Roadhouse momos if you are anywhere nearby. The made from scratch food and service are some of the best I have ever had. This a wonderful family restaurant. It always speaks well of a place when you walk and see the owner spent time on the details and ambience of the restaurant. My family and I started with the Mono Sampler. The Sampler includes Beef (buf), chicken, pork, and veggie. They are similar dumplings but were well flawed and came with a wonderful orange. Sorry don't have a picture of it, we ate it too quickly. If you are thinking of something to try, select the veggie or beef. All where amazing but the veggie and beef were standouts For dinner my family tried 4 Very different Dishes. Chili Fish(Spicy), Shrimp Fried Rice, Chili Chicken (Mild), and Timure Chicken. Each was perfectly cooked, well paired, and full of flavor. My only caution is make sure to ask the spice level before you order. They have multiple options, some of the items are very spicy. Each dish was spectacular and had its own merits. The timure chicken has schewaun pepper so be careful, but the sauce it comes with is a great balance. All in all try as much as you can. Everything is well done. The cocktails are great. They make they own drink mix of fresh lime juice, fresh ginger, and sugar. They mix it in several drinks, but it is something special you can't get anywhere else. This nepalese restaurant was so good I wish I lived closer and it is a must try for anyone who happens to be in the area. read more

I love love love this place- the first time I went there I thanked my stars & fortune because it brought me great homestyle food in a foreign country. The place is very rustic & is tastefully designed. The decor, theme and music make the experience very high quality. Over multiple occasions I have had the following momos: chicken fried, chicken jhol, himalayan chilly, chicken tandoori, veg fried, veg cheese and veg jhol. Additionally, I have also tried the Himalayan style noodles (veggie, egg, chicken) as well as the Himalayan style fried rice (egg). And not to forget- the lychee lassi!! From the above, I only don't recommend the fried rice because it tends to be fairly dry and needs some wet element with it like a gravy or so. The server- Soorya is great- very kind natured & polite. Always has a smile on his face and always wishes us well. Highly recommended 12/10 place!!!!!! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally decided to walk in and order takeout. Best decision I've ever made! Had the opportunity to talk with Nina, who was up front and she was so helpful and we kept conversation going until my food was ready. I just finished the Chicken Chilli (extra hot) and it was easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. Please give this place a try, they're good people who deserve nothing but the best! read more

Roadhouse Momo & Grill - Chicken Sizzler - Himalayan/Nepalese Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

The customer service here was outstanding. I went here with a couple friends, and we all liked the food. I can't remember what they got, but I ordered buffalo momos which came with a sauce, a burger, and some drink with tajin. I asked them to make the drink non-alcoholic, and they went out of their way to make it really good for me. The waiters and owner (I presume?) kept coming by to make sure we were being tended to, enjoyed our meal, and made our drinks right. I loved the attentiveness. I also liked their decor and food. The fries could've had more salt, though. Still, we each enjoyed the food and drinks and would definitely go back. They gave us some favors as we left which was really sweet of them. They were wooden can openers that had their restaurant name on it. They just opened; check them out! read more

My husband and I found this restaurant based on its high yelp review. It did not disappoint! The owner was working the floor and came over immediately to help us with the menu which features a number of Nepalese specialties. She helped us pick adventurous options that matched our tastes and accommodated our various spice tolerances. Every single thing we ordered was delicious! The momo is a must have. We got the sampler with both the Jhor and Chili sauces. For entrees, we ordered the sizzler and the goat curry. Both were fantastic! The milk tea is exceptional and the titorita (cocktail) is visually stunning with complex layered flavors that defy description. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be returning. read more

We are not strangers to momo's or nepali food and this place is the best we have tried. We were a group of 4 and we ordered the bara bara, chili chicken, chicken sekuwa, goat chops, lo mein as well as two orders of buff momos and one veggie momo. Everything was delicious, but the best dish of the night were the buff momos. Extremely flavorful and satisfying, we could easily eat them everyday. The veggie momos were surprisingly good too, but it is hard to surpass the buff. The only thing that was not absolutely incredible was the chicken sekuwa. It was good, but lacking in overall flavor. That being said, the spice on the goat chops was incredible, the chili chicken was scrumptious, the bara bara was a fantastic surprise as no one had tried it before and it was beyond tasty, and the lo mein was far better than any I have had elsewhere. I cannot say enough good things about the food here and would absolutely go back. read more

I am so happy to have this warm, inviting restaurant in my neighborhood. Offering an upscale yet friendly and accessible feel, Roadhouse Momo & Grill gives surbanites a chance to sample lesser-known Nepalese dishes that one would imagine finding in major cities like NYC and Toronto. They have thukpa, a noodle soup of Himalayan origin, and variations of a rice crepe called called chatānmari. This dish was stunning! I loved the complexity of its flavors and the beautiful texture of the crepe. Gobbled it up with joy. The staff were so helpful and sweet throughout our visit (I even told them so.). Couldn't ask for more in terms of customer service. Can't wait to return and try more dishes. I will definitely try their noodle soup and one of the enticing items on their cocktail menu. read more

This was one of the best meals we've had in a long time! We started off with the chicken momo chili style and the pork momo steamed. The steamed was simple which let you taste the super flavorful seasoning that was in the meat. The chili style chicken was also very good- covered in peppers and onions. We then split the goat curry which came with rice. We also got the Roti. Both things were exceptional. The goat curry was full of deep flavor and the meat fell right off the bone. We got a side of a peanut dish (don't remember the name) which had onions and tomatoes which made it taste very fresh. It was a great refreshing side that went well with the deep flavors. We then ended with a pancake like dessert which had some sugar and I think a syrup on it. It reminded me of a funnel cake met zeppoli combo and was delicious. Last but not least- the green tea. OMG it was good. It had lemon zest, ginger and honey in it. I could drink it all day! The service was also impeccable. She checked on us often, gave suggestions that met my low spice tolerance and explained all of the dishes well. We will absolutely be back and I am excited to try more of the menu! read more

First time visit. Wow! My boyfriend is less than adventurous, but we were looking for something local that we haven't tried before. As long-time Ashburn residents, we've tried nearly every restaurant over the years, and Roadhouse ranks right up there with us now. We tried a couple sampler platters, and absolutely loved everything (even picky boyfriend, who would normally order a burger at a place like this!). The momo sampler was super fun - the pork was our favorite with the buff a close second. Everything was homemade, including the dumpling wrappers. Then the Chilli Chicken, Fried Rice and Buff Sukuti came out. OMG! The chicken was cooked to perfection, and that sauce!!! With the rice!!! The chef came out and checked on us with each dish. If you haven't tried this place, you absolutely must! Oh, and the boyfriend said he loved everything and can't wait to come back! read more

This is a gem in the suburbs and I will be sure to bring friends next time I'm in town. It's the best food I've had in Ashburn so far I had the chili chicken sampler with chow mein and pork belly. It was a little more than I could eat, but should be fine for American portions. The chili chicken was the best I've ever had, with just the right spice level. The breading was light and not too heavy, as can easily happen with this dish. The solid beer and wine selection was a nice companion to the food. The staff were super friendly and attentive and helped me navigate the menu, including my allergies. The atmosphere was calming, and the nose level low making for a great place to have dinner conversation. Bring your friends and family! read more
