The Momo House

The Momo House on Glenmore Parade is one of the few Nepalese kitchens on Ealing Road, bringing Kathmandu street food to a stretch of road otherwise dominated by South Asian and Chinese cooking. The kitchen specialises in momos — steamed or fried dumplings in chicken and lamb varieties — alongside dal bhat, chow mein-style noodles and the thick flatbreads (chapate) found on the highway tea houses of Nepal. The format is casual and the prices are low, with the momos being the consistent draw for both the local Nepalese community and adventurous diners from further afield. TripAdvisor ranks it in the top twenty-five restaurants in Wembley — an impressive position for a small parade takeaway in a food scene dominated by far larger and better-known operations.
