We ordered two portions of 5-piece steamed momos, so 10 pieces in total. As the 10-piece portion is £11.75 while a 5-piece portion is £6.75, we asked if we could be charged the 10-piece price since we had ordered 10 pieces altogether.
The male staff member was very rude when we asked about this. He told us that because the momos were served on two separate plates, we had to pay £6.75 for each plate. We understand if this is the store's pricing policy, but it honestly felt like we were being charged based on the number of plates rather than the total amount of food we ordered. More importantly, the way he spoke to us was very rude and unfriendly.
We visited again another time and unfortunately experienced the same rude attitude from the same male staff member. We don't expect special treatment as customers, but we do expect to be spoken to politely and respectfully.
The food is genuinely good, and we would have happily recommended the place based on the food alone. However, customer service also matters, and the attitude of one staff member can really affect the overall experience.
Hopefully, the management can look into this and make sure customers are treated with a little more politeness and friendliness.
Tried the chilli chicken momos and they were absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked with amazing flavour.
Special thanks to Nisha for the friendly service, and compliments to Chef Devraj and Devi for the fantastic food.
Will definitely visit again!
I recommend the lamb chhoila and sadheko momos if you can handle spice. Their mango lassis are also perfectly natural and sweet round-the-year.
If you’re craving authentic Indian-Chinese or Indian/Nepalese-style momos, this is the place to be. Every dish we tried brought back memories of Indian street food — bold, spicy, and full of soul.
We started with their Thukpa, and it was absolutely spot-on — warm, comforting, and bursting with flavor. The Hakka noodles were perfectly tossed, just the right amount of spice, no unnecessary sweetness (which is hard to find here), and the fried momos? Crispy, juicy, and packed with that classic street-side flavor.
I honestly felt overwhelmed — in the best way — because it genuinely reminded me of home. It’s rare to find that level of authenticity and taste in the UK.
10/10 for the food. Highly recommend to anyone missing proper desi flavors!
So I took my family here per her reccomendation that the food was yummy and it was true! The food was delicious, the service was very good the owner/server was polite, attentive and was very accommodating to our order (HALAL FRIENDLY!). We also asked for some dishes to be made less spicy which was very kind.
The momo is very worth it!! I don't normally buy dumpling type dishes but when I tried them they were so so good!
