Looking to chow down on some Himalayan/Nepalese fare? A new spot has you covered. Located at 727 W. Maxwell St. in University Village - Little Italy, the fresh arrival is called The Momo World.

This new business serves up authentic Himalayan street food, including  momos, which are a type of dumpling commonly eaten in parts of South Asia. The Momo World's momos come filled  with a variety of vegetables and meats, such as tandoori chicken. The menu also features skewers and biryanis, as well as beverages like mango lassi and guava juice. (See the full menu here.) 

With a five-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, The Momo World has been warmly received by patrons.

Dennis T., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 26, wrote, “This place just opened up today, and I already like it. It feels pretty casual and welcoming and has food that seems familiar but unique, if you've never had Nepalese/Himalayan food (which I haven't).”

Yelper Karma T. added, "A beautiful restaurant with great staff, and the food was impeccable. Felt as if I was back in Nepal. The chicken and tandoori chicken momo was amazing. Definitely will be coming back! "

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: The Momo World is open from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. one Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. on Friday, noon–11 p.m. on Saturday, and noon–10 p.m. on Sunday.
