Feast on authentic handmade momos at this Guy Fieri-approved Calgary restaurant
All aboard the express train to Flavour Town, Calgary! There’s only one Nepalese restaurant in the city with Guy Fieri’s stamp of approval, which means it’s an absolute must-visit. Time to grab your stretchy pants!
Today we’re getting familiar with Calgary Momo House, a spot that specializes in scratch-made, authentic momos with various fillings straight from the Himalayas — it’s momo-geddon! Owned by wife and husband duo Pooja and Chef Prakash Magar, Calgary Momo House delivers diverse and different momo styles and hearty Nepali dishes that you’ll love.
The house of mighty, mighty momo
Starting as a COVID project where Pooja and Prakash decided to make their momos from home and sell them online, filling the gap for authentic Himalayan cuisine in the city. Since then, Calgary Momo House has grown with two locations and (perhaps the most impressive) a visit from Mr. Guy Fieri himself – who stopped by, ate, and filmed at Calgary Momo House back in 2021 for the 38th season of “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.”
Hungry for the menu? Vegetarian, chicken, paneer, tandoori, steamed, fried, chilli and (way) more momo varieties are on offer and are always handmade with love — sounds impressive? Even Fieri himself called the restaurant “the house of mighty might momo,” and we agree!
After trying the chef’s signature momo plate, Fieri was smitten with the dish, describing it as a “Fried pillow with a little crunch,” while adding, “Once you get one bite of that, you’re hooked for life.”
You really can’t disagree with the OG sauce boss!
Find your momo moment
With an extensive momo menu, Calgary Momo House also pumps out other equally-as-delicious Nepali plates like Nepali thali, butter chicken, chow mein, fried rice, curries, and more. Always made in-house, you can bet on authentic and fresh tastes no matter your choice.
Priding themselves on serving up affordable, tasty eats in a cozy environment with impeccable service, Pooja and Prakash are bringing a unique Nepalese meal experience to Calgarians each and every time!
Plus, the receipts and reviews prove it: Calgary Momo House is a hit for everyone’s favourite crave-able momos and authentic Nepalese dishes! Visit Calgary Momo House and try it out for yourself — Friday dinner plans just got a whole lot tastier!
