Some diners from the East coast to the West coast may not know where Nepal is, but their appetite for Nepalese food is vast. Unlike Indian food, Nepalese food does not use cream and rarely uses sugar and is generally considered healthier than Indian food.
The Momo Grill, uses the freshest of ingredients and high quality halal meats and spices imported directly from the homeland. Their spices are filled with the aromas of Nepal which makes anyone feel close to the land.
Momo is a type of steamed dumpling (filled with meat or vegetable) in Tibetan and Nepali cuisine, popular in neighboring Bhutan and India. They are usually served with a achar chutney sauce, influenced by the spices and herbs used within many South Asian cuisines. Momo Grill serves a variety of traditional and specialty Momos.
Momo, is not a full service restaurant. You are basically handed menus as you arrive and place your order at the register, and the food is delivered to your table. Each dish comes with a spice level of your choosing (mild, moderate or hot). For those wanting to appease the howling coyote in your innards, , just choose “spicy” all-the way. Their Traditional tandoori-baked Naan (Indian leavened bread) is out of this world. For dessert, we went to a Baskin and Robbins close by.

When Cecile and I got home, the moon was mysteriously full and hazy due to the clouds. The February full moon is also known as the Snow Moon.
