I have been visiting them for a year. Its my go-to spot for Momos in the San Francisco area.If you like Indian/ Nepali food this is your spot.They have indoor & outdoor seating.Evenings get busy as I checked a few times there was wait time. They are open till 12 am during weekends

Urban Momos in San Mateo is a hidden gem of a restaurant that delivers an authentic taste of Nepali cuisine. Despite its size, this place packs a flavorful punch. During my visit, I ordered a trio of dishes – momos, chowmein, and bhuteko bhaat (fried rice).The momo sauce was a revelation; it had a tangy twist, likely from the addition of lapsi, a sour Nepali fruit. The Szechuan flavor in their sauce was a delightful surprise, elevating the taste to another level.The staff at Urban Momos are not only friendly but also impressively quick, ensuring a smooth dining experience. However, parking in the bustling area of San Mateo can be a bit challenging, so plan accordingly.Dont leave without trying their Chiya Nepali tea, which adds a perfect ending to your meal. Its important to note that their food leans towards the spicier side, so if you have a low tolerance for heat, dont hesitate to let them know when ordering.Overall, Urban Momos is a place I would gladly return to when in town. The wonderful flavors, friendly staff, and unique Nepali offerings make it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic culinary adventure.

I’ve gotten takeout here once before and finally got a chance to dine in. The food definitely tastes a lot better fresh. The decor and service both feel more like a mom and pop shop.We got the aloo gobi, chili chicken, butter paneer curry, chicken biryani and garlic naan.The garlic naan was one of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area, it was crispy and fluffy.The chicken biryani was good but I felt like they didn’t cut the chicken properly - I bit into a few really small bone pieces which kinda ruined the experience.I really enjoyed the butter paneer curry, which was very well flavoured.Aloo gobi was okay but it felt like the portion was small for the price and they did not put much cauliflower in it.The chili chicken was good, better than the one at Samichka but nothing to write home about.Definitely will come back to try some other dishes.

An unassuming place along the main stretch in San Mateo with a ton of restaurants, we walked in because Indo Chinese food sounded interesting. The service is minimal but not unfriendly so dont expect too much in that aspect.The menu is pretty good with explanations so you dont need to sit there and Google every single item if youre as unfamiliar with Nepalese food as I am. I was most excited to try the momos but we ordered a bunch of things to share!Mixed Bhuteko Bhat: Nepali fried rice with egg, vegetable and chicken. This was so good!!! There was wok hei, that fragrance you get in stir fried items that has had enough heat applied. I was stunned that I had to go to a Nepalese place to get that but it was so good. The chicken wasnt too dry, and I have no complaints about the frozen vegetables used in this. We polished off the whole plate.Lamb Choila: this is like lamb skewers that are then stir fried in a sauce, then served with crispy naan crumbs and crunchy soybeans. The lamb was pretty gamey so I wasnt a huge fan but the use of texture in the dish was very interesting.Chicken Momos: these were delicious and stuffed full of meat! The chicken filling was very well spiced and seasoned and went great with the two sauces they provided (one was chilli and one was a cumin tasting sauce). The dumplings were also very juicy and came very hot.Gobi Manchurian: I love this usually, but this had a goopier sauce than I would normally like and the batter was very thick. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, nicely sour, sweet and a tiny bit spicy. The cauliflower was nice and soft but I wish the batter was crisper.My favorite items were the bhuteko bhat and momos, Id return just for those two items. They were doing a brisk takeout business and l can see why!

There are a lot of vegetarian options available. We tried chill paneer momo, shezwan chowmein, and Gobi manchurian bhat bowl. The soda Pani is a must try!The chili panner momo was okay, the taste is kind of bland and momo itself is chewy.The gobi Manchurian bhat was probably the best off the 3. Again rice is kind of bland, but Manchurian is good.The chowmein was the worst of the 3, it did not taste anything like chowmein nor had any schezwan flavors.But the staff is very kind and friendly!

Finally found a no frills restaurant in San Mateo. Absolutely delicious food! We got the chicken manchurian. It was so tender and flavorful. We also got the aloo gobi and it was the best I have eaten. I like how the cauliflower wasnt mushy and it was packed with flavor. The garlic naan was fluffy and complemented the dishes perfectly. Will be coming back for more.

Ordered chili paneer bowl, momos, paneer curry and dal tadka. Food was good tasting but little on the spicier side so need to inform them before hand if spice is an issue. Will definitely go again. The dishes especially starters have nice indo chinese flavor to it.

The food is good in general. The must try are vegan momos. The chicken chilly was tender. They do have good paneer chilly momos.

10/10 the best Nepalese food around. Amazing freshly made food, top notch service. One of the chefs has climbed Everest 7 times!We recently ordered takeout and they remembered our names from our order and gave us free fried rice! Come on, what more could you ask for!

It was a pleasant experience. Urban Momo is a hidden gem in San Mateo. We went for lunch on Sunday. It was a great place to start our Sunday. Our delicious lunch had garlic naan, lamb Tikka masala (not spicy at all) and chicken momos. Not too greasy or salty. No MSG added. Seasonings and spices are right to the point. Feel right to our Chinese stomachs. The masala sauce is too good to miss. I need more naan or rice to empty the sauce. Indoor and outdoor seating. Cant wait to go back!!

Pictured are: paneer momo steamed, jhol vegan momo, and chili paneer chow bowl. All are very delicious + flavorful and you get a lot of food for the price! Service is also fast.

Food marked “gluten free” on the menu arrived crispy and made me extremely sick (even after only eating a few bites). Wait staff was not knowledgeable about the ingredients. If you have any dietary restrictions, avoid this restaurant.

Great Indo Chinese Nepalese food - Nice amount of spice & great taste profile - Tons of vegetarian options to choose from which is always great. Recommend getting the Chow Mein Noodles and Paneer Gorkhali Chilli if youre vegetarian.

A MUST TRY for true Nepali experience! Amazing food, good humble hosts with true representation of Nepali Hospitality.After a long time I got to experience a taste of home away from home. If you are itching to experience true Nepali food, this is the place to be hands down! I will definitely be eating here again! A MUST TRY

Delicious food and excellent service. My favorite dish is the Lamb Vindaloo. Sometimes its spicy sometimes its not, I need to remember to ask for it spicy. They have a comfortable outside deck area, its a great spot to enjoy these beautiful autumn afternoons.

Very nice waiter. Momos are good for an appetizer but not a meal. I should have picked one of the other options.

My boyfriend and I were in the market for a quick afternoon snack while in San Mateo, and we couldn’t be more pleased with what we ordered from Urban Momo! The lamb tikka kebab was perfect! I’m usually not a big fan of lamb for fear of gaminess, but this had a lovely flavor profile. You could tell it was lamb, but it wasn’t overpowering. The spices really allowed the savoriness of the meat to shine through. I loved mixing the chutney with their spicy sauce. Also, despite having a nice, slightly crispy exterior, the kebab meat was still juicy 🤤Speaking of sauces though - I was a big fan of mixing the mild and spicy sauces that were for the momos. The momo skin was neither too thick nor too thin. It had a nice bouncy texture, and I had fun plating my first chicken momo with the sauces, haha.Next time I plan to try the veggie momos and their curry fries! Their hours are quite impressive (11 am-9:30 pm) soooo I think I know where to go after happy hour for some drunchies!

Everything here was very average. The food felt very rushed and they were certainly trying for our party to leave early. The quality of the food was also not that fresh. Again felt very pre prepared with no unique flavors. Dumplings were subpar. Would give them a passing recommendation but not worth for me to visit again

Hole in the wall place with small menu. We took the Chowmein bowl with Chilli Chicken and Bhuteko Baat bowl with Gobi Manchurian. Both of these were good. We also tried the Chilliz Momo but it was not upto our expectations. Overall a good one time place.

I have not been excited for a new restaurant opening in San Mateo for quite some time. But when I came across Urban Momo, I had to check it out right away. Some context (and full disclosure), momos take me back to college days in New Delhi and nostalgia does a play a part in my culinary experience :).So, with that said, the food still needs to hit the mark!! ( anticipation and expectations... I know).We ordered the dal soup and hot n sour to start us off and they we cooked just right. The consistency, taste, spices were just right. I didnt even add any soy sauce or salt. Garlic fries went pretty well with the soups and I highly recommend that. The fries were not soggy and the sauce and onions on top made a great dip!Main course: Momos!! What else?!Loved the consistency and filling size of each dumpling. We had paneer and chicken momos and Id keep going back for those. We ordered steamed ones but next time I am gonna try fried ( pot sticker style). We got chowmein to go as portion sizes were huge.What we didnt try as yet: biryani and other other Indian curries. Nostalgia again so couldnt mix the two experience. Will go back specifically for that. Especially dal and rice. That is the signature comfort food with fries from growing up in Delhi. From what I could already see, the rice grains were long and that is the key!Cant wait to go back!! A must in peninsula!!

Food was okay. We had the Manchurian chicken which was the only thing we loved. The scheuzan fried rice and chow mein were mediocre. But service was good and food is Halal

Review №28

Urban Momo is a tiny hole in the wall, but it is a total treasure! We had the egg chow mein, paneer momos, and Manchurian cauliflower. My favorite was the cauliflower, and my husband loved the chow mein, but honestly, everything was delicious!

2020-12-22 06:00:32

This place is amazing. The momos are so good (I get both vegan and chicken), either in the spicy chili or the curry. I also usually get the chicken vindaloo, extra spicy. Just packed with flavor, great dumplings, my fave place to get lunch when I’m down here.

YUM!! What a great meal, from the fresh veggies in the momo (dumplings) to the sweetly creamy lychee paneer curry, to the mega-garlicky fries was superb. Have to add that the biryani was quite enjoyably spicy but too much for my child (but it came with yogurt so she was saved, lol). So many things to try on the menu, cant wait to return!!

Review №32

2022-08-26 00:55:16

Loved it! Chicken Chilli Momo and Paneer Jhol Momo were my favorites. Gobi Manchurian comes with a chow mein. Could add more spice to Chow Mein.

Got delivery. The chicken Tikka masala was very tough and hard. Flavor of sauce was good, but the meat quality was bad.

Review №35

2019-11-29 05:32:21

Really friendly and efficient service but the food is amazing! Everything weve tried there has been super flavorful and true authentic cuisine. We really enjoy the samosas and the chicken biryani. If you like spicy food then definitely try the chicken curry and ask them to kick up the spice level. This place is really good!

Their Gobi Manchurian and veg noodles would take you back to the street food in India. Loved it.

Review №37

2023-04-09 22:01:04

Really flavorful Nepalese and Indo Chinese food. Pretty much everything Ive had here has been good. I especially recommend the chicken Manchurian, the choila, and of course the momo. The chicken tiki masala is also solid. The chow mein was okay but kind of dry. Very casual atmosphere. You wont find other restaurants offering this kind of cuisine in the Bay area.

2021-06-23 20:07:28

Review №40

2023-03-16 04:08:20

I rarely share negative reviews but this one deserves a special mention. The place is small and not clean. They got 2 out of our 4 orders wrong. The food was bland and flavorless with turmeric being the primary ingredient. The sauces (which I usually love!) tastes old and again flavorless

Review №41

2023-09-01 14:09:12

Food was good but the service wasn’t great. Long wait time on top they messed up with my order! I asked for something and got something!! Then again a long waiting for the correction.

2023-01-10 12:43:37

Urban Momo is one of my favorite restaurants ever. The food is exquisite and the menu has a wide array of tasty vegetarian options. The Gobi Manchurian is a must-try. The food is so good that if we take out of town friends here when theyre visiting, they want to come back every other time they visit.The staff are also very kind and helpful: Were regulars and vegetarian but one time we were with friends who ordered chicken. The owner came running out to clarify the order since he was sure there had been a mistake.The outdoor patio has heaters and is comfortable even late at night in the winter.I recommend this place without reservation. Eat there, and eat there often. Were so sad to have moved away.Fun tip: get the butter paneer masala and the vegetarian chow mein. Put the masala sauce on the noodles. Sounds weird but trust me.

The vegetarian momos here are not good. They are dry and with way too many spices to overcompensate and all taste the same. Would not recommend. Have never been more dissatisfied

2021-10-07 16:05:09

Excellent food and great service! My mom and aunt are in town and they loved sitting down out in the covered patio seating. They felt easy branching out and trying new things because the menu is very friendly and the variety made it so everyone could order something they enjoyed! The chicken momos were very fragrant and delicious and the butter chicken was very flavorful! I recommend giving this place a try!!

2022-04-29 08:46:27

Chicken momo were fantastic and had a much different taste that Im used to but in a very good way. Garlic naan was kinda dry and rubbery tho, plus not very garlicky. Also very thankful theyre open really late so you can get a meal after a late night movie!

Review №52

A small store in downtown San Mateo with great food. The Lamb biryani was fresh with a great amount of flavor from spices from the rice.

Review №53

2022-08-15 05:04:59

It is located right in the downtown area. They have another chain operating in San Jose.We ordered Veg Chowmein and it was decently done.The place doesnt have a dine-in option and looks a little run down. Also there is no parking just outside.Overall, this was decent but Id rate the SJC one higher than this.

Review №54

2022-01-29 01:55:33

Chicken Momo are amazing. And the sauce! Wow good stuff. Chicken tikka masala is more authentic than the traditional UK/US Indian style. Huge chunks of white meat and pretty tasty but nowhere near enough sauce. Naan bread a bit rubbery.

Review №55

2022-04-06 00:43:22

I LOVE momos and have tired many different places and food trucks - the ones here are absolutely INCREDIBLE. Some of the best momos Ive ever had and really great, friendly, authentic service as well. Highly recommend this spot! The Gorkhali Chili momos are superb! 10/10

Review №56

2021-07-26 07:01:31

Absolutely delicious. Ordered the samosas, aloo Gobi, vegan Momos, garlic naan, and chicken kabob. I am a huge fan of samosas, I get them all the time, and the samosas here might be my favorite of all time. The Momos were good, but I still want to try the chicken Momos in case they are better. The aloo was very nice, but the chicken kabob was especially impressive. Super juicy cubes of chicken, fantastically seasoned. The garlic naan was good but just average as most garlic naan is good. Easy to order, easy to pay, reasonable prices. Nice outdoor seating.

Yummy food. We had the mixed fried rice, lamb tika masala, aloo gobi (potatoes and cauliflower) and some samosas. All delicious and perfect portions with some leftovers. We sat outside under one of the heat lamps. Lots of gluten free options.

Amazing Tibetan Cuisine, very good chance find as I pass by 2nd street this whole area is cordoned off for pedestrian friendly strolling and dining outdoors/indoors. Rice and Naan with Lamb was superb!

We stopped here for a meal before watching a movie at the theatre nearby.The food was amazing—the texture and just the right amount of spices hit the spot. We ordered chicken momos and chili chicken chowmein bowl—we felt the portion sizes could’ve been a little more.The service was prompt and courteous. If you’re a fan of Indo-Chinese food, you must try this place. Even though I saw a lot of online orders coming in, that didn’t deter them from making the service for customers inside the restaurant prompt and seamless. I’ll gladly visit again since it’s very close to where I live.

Very cool hole in the wall in downtown San Mateo squeezed into the edge of a Hispanic grocery that serves Nepalese and Indian food. Neat and clean with constant take out business, it still managed to have friendly, yet precise service and nicely plated, delicious food. We tried the momo dumplings, Nepalese fried rice and Mango chicken- all very tasty and very well executed.

We tried the mango chicken and the Manchurian chicken, and both were absolutely devine! A beautiful blend of Nepali flavours, we absolutely will be coming back here!

Review №64

2020-12-27 03:05:36

Portions for price are small. Seems almost odd to see box that empty. For 13 bucks I got kind of half the rice you would get any other place and 4 cubes of paneer. It is funny as it looks more empty than full. Food is okay more on oily side.For momos they are 2$ a piece, decent size but again not justified.Even if food satisfies your hunger and taste, you would be left wondering about why quantities are so meagre. There are few more reviews echoing same concern.I seriously recommend owners to take a look at their portions and what is generally served by other Indian restaurants for similar price. Or either they say to people explicitly about their portions when purchasing that please buy 1.5-2 times what you buy at other places.

Review №65

2020-09-13 15:51:56

Our first time getting food from this place I totally loved it. Food was very good to comparing other Indian or Nepali restaurants. Their mo:mo, samosa, and chicken Curry was good as well. I would order them again.

Properly packaged to go food, deciduous fried momos and lamb biryani and excellent friendly service.

Review №67

2020-11-18 05:56:51

Some of their items are decent but I have observed that they are very stingy with the quantities. Recently when we ordered the box was literally half full.The rates are not really cheap, so when you charge people money for food, at least fill the box up so that there is enough food to eat for the price paid.Also their indo chinese food is very very oily.They have a good potential to be a better restaurant if they increase their quantities and make food less greasy.

The Gobi Manchurian is divine. Our top two other highlights are the fried rice - perfectly light and flavorful - and momo.

Review №69

2020-02-10 06:26:00

We got the momos, chai and kheer here and it was good. 2 improvements for the momo - it could be a bit smaller with a not so thick dough and the meat mixture could have less spices (esp turmeric) nonetheless it is worth going back. We did the kheer as well which I didnt care for as much but the chai was amazing and reminded me of the ones I get back home.We want to go back and try some other nepali food. Excited to see a Nepali restaurant in the neighborhood.

Despite the great looking menu, the only authentic and tasty items were veggie and the paneer Momos. The rest of the food was a really pricey travesty, but the momos are the only thing which would take me back there. They along with the sauces are really that good! Worth a visit for the momos.

Review №71

2020-08-14 03:53:35

Really great restaurant, everything on the menu is super flavorful! i really enjoy their paneer dishes, the lychee paneer is my favorite! the palak paneer, and biryani are also very good. definitely recommend checking this place out! they do take away, delivery (3rd party), and seem to have some tables outside in the newly pedestrianised section of B St.

The wifey and I wanted to try some Indian cuisine in our local area. We gave this place a try and found the food delicious. We had momos, lamb curry, chicken Tikka masala and tandoori chicken! Everything was excellent. Check it out. I recommend it.

Just ordered through uber eats. There was no forks or spoons with our order, no napkins, and Tikka fries were literally old stale fries in a carton with no toppings.

Wow. I have never tried momo before I have heard of it seen people eat it and always wondered how it tastes.i came across urban momo on Facebook figured Ill try it out. I also ordered the chicken chowmein hhhmm not on my favorite list yet.i loved the noodles and the crunchy vegetables but not so much the taste of the chicken. But I will order again from here to try other dishes

We had paneer and vegan fried momos and they tested very much like Delhi. They were spicy and we got 2 different kinds of sauce to enjoy momos with. We had hot and sour soup which was spicy and differently prepared which we liked. Good place for momos. Chowmein was ok

Happy to go back to Urban Momo, a casual Nepali place on S B St. Everything the group ordered (naan, aloo gobi, paneer and vegan momos, chai) hit the spot. Service was lovely. Adding it to my collection!

Terrible experience with takeout. The Tikka Masala tasted as though it was made with day old dishwater and stirred by dirty feet. For the price, there are hundreds of better options.

The garlic naan is crispy and perfect with the palak. The momos are, as expected, super tasty. The location is convenient to the movie theatre and the downtown shops. The only thing that would make it better is if I kept it to myself.

Ive been 3 times. My favorite thing is surprisingly the vegan momos (dumplings). Highly recommend it. Ive tried Indian, Szechuan, rice and momos platters all delicious.

Decent place for Indo Chinese food in San Mateo. The chilli chicken and chowmein were great. Good gobi alu and lamb curry with naan. The momos were below average though.

Authentic Indian cuisine. Nice gravies and very good options. The interior could have been better but the food is finger licking tasty. Try their gobi Manchurian

The worst momos I have ever had.. they mentioned chicken momos but gave egg omelette momos maybe by mistake or don’t know what is chicken.

Used to love this place but I don’t know what happen this time might be they changed the chef or something wrong. There was no salt at all on fried rice and chowmain. Giving 4 stars because I’ve tried lots of time before was good.

Finally dropped by. Surprisingly, the two cooks on staff were Nepali and the person taking orders was also. I wanted something to kick me in the pants so I went with the Gorkhali Chili Paneer, paneer which had been coated with a starch and pan fried with a few vegs. Also ordered garlic naan, thick, and lightly coated with garlic and not oily in the least. With this dish, the red gravy is meant to be on the light side; about me, I LUV paneer so I was partial to this dish and I coughed after chewing on a green pepper. If eating here, definitely order something with the garlic naan.
