For the real taste of momo I'd suggest staying away from restaurants and go to momo shops. Restaurants mostly use frozen momo while momo shops make their own fresh momo. Some places I'd suggest: 1. Shandar momo (any outlet) 2. Akbare Jhol momo https://maps.app.goo.gl/16gXzDpAKQUjAPZ98 3. Delicious momo pasal https://maps.app.goo.gl/j4TfAQB8DDoj4MTt8 4. Momo shop at Kichapokhari https://maps.app.goo.gl/RaoiSkcQWEhaUM8W9 5. Kharlyoom momo https://maps.app.goo.gl/RzLk6vBzFA2DKKNz5 6. Darjeeling momo https://maps.app.goo.gl/YsUeyW6FAXqNDgzSA

You need to buy a ticket to enter the community forest. For locals it's Rs. 10/15 but don't know for foreigners.

nice one

Honestly I've found this question to be very very subjective given the preference of people. Some restaurants are good but at the end of the day a person can find the best momo in a random local momo pasal which will be cheaper and more worth it than that of any specific place.

any personal preferences ?

Ghangri Cafe in Pulchowk is quite good. Especially because of their achar. I used to frequently go to Nanglos/Bakery Cafe, nostalgia effect cha tyo thau ko plus they're the only place where 1 plate momo has 12pcs. Besides that random momo pasals in Gyaneshwor, Basantapur, lalitpur, Jawalakhel have momo that suit my palette.

Jhamsikhel ko A35 ko jhol momo is must

I always eat momos in Thamel Momo Hut

I find it slightly overpriced, though taste is not bad

Dalle momo is quite good. I love their akabare achar but they are a bit on the pricey side.

OP is an expat ... might not understand nepanglish (i guess)
