About Momo Shop
Momo Shop is a Nepalese restaurant on Barlow Moor Road in Chorlton that does what it says—momos, chowmein, and sizzling dishes cooked fresh and served hot. The space is simple, clean, and cosy with a pop-punk playlist running quietly in the background. You'll find college students, groups, and tourists in here alongside locals who've discovered the portions are generous and the prices won't wreck you. Staff explain the menu without fuss, and they'll help you bag up leftovers if you've ordered too much (which you will). Reviewers keep coming back for the steamed momos with tomatoey sauce, the keema noodles, and the dry-fried dumplings that one customer claims "will change your life." Vegan and vegetarian options are substantial—not an afterthought. The place accepts reservations but doesn't require them, and you can dine in, take away, or get delivery.
What Stands Out
Momos done right
"The momos were absolutely delicious – soft, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavour" and "these are the best dumplings I have ever had. The dry fried dumplings will change your life."
Portion sizes and value
"The food is insane, such good options and great portions" and "I was surprised how cheap it came out in the end" with "generous" portions mentioned across multiple reviews.
Strong vegetarian and vegan range
"Huge recommend for Vegans and veggies" and "They're the only good vegetarian dumplings I have found in Manchester."
What Customers Say

Casual and cosy with a pop-punk playlist playing quietly. Simple but clean interior, good for both a quick bite and a relaxed meal with friends. Full by dinner time on weekends.
There's a step at the door and no ramp confirmed. Wheelchair accessible seating is available inside, but entry may be difficult.
