Momo Ghar

Top choice in Ohio


It’s hard not to fall for this Nepalese dumpling counter hiding inside a global foods supermarket. Look for the bright-hued prayer flags fluttering over the little enclave, and then bowl up to order a plate of steamed beauties stuffed with chopped chicken, pork, potatoes or veggies. The jhol momos (dumplings in a fragrant tomato broth) are awesome.

The eatery is located in a plaza of shops in Columbus' far north region. It has a second branch in downtown's North Market.
