Kathmandu MoMoCha
BEST DUMPLINGS FROM NEPAL
Our Story
Your Favorite Nepalese Place in Seattle
Kathmandu Momocha brings the spirit of Nepal's street food culture to the Pacific Northwest. It was born out of a deep love for home and tradition. Mandy and Sam started this Nepali food truck after moving from Nepal. It went from being a local pop-up to a beloved Seattle food truck experience.
The foundation of this Nepali kitchen in Seattle is authenticity and years of culinary and hospitality expertise. Because it prepares food by hand with care and intention, the locals adore it. This restaurant is a wonderful place to try Himalayan dishes and flavors for the first time or to go back to old favorites. It has an inviting and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a traditional setting.
ABOUT THE MOMOCHA
Momocha or Momos are a type of dumpling popular in Nepal, Tibet and other regions bordering the Himalayan Mountains. They have a variety of flavors and are can be found in both restaurants and in street vendor stalls.
Momos are made with a simple flour and water dough that is rolled into thin circles. A mixture of either ground meats, vegetables, tofu or paneer is used as filling. The dough is then pinched together in either in a round pocket or a half moon shape. Momocha are traditionally steamed to cook, but sometimes pan fried or deep fried.
At Kathmandu Momocha, our dumplings are colored with natural dyes to help distinguish the different flavors.
