Didn't find them VERY special, but left full and satisfied. Different kind of food to what I would normally try and the momo platter introduced me to all different types of momos which is great for a newbie like me. Service is pretty friendly too
Smsll restaurant with a friendly service snd delicious food reasonably priced.will go back again.momo platter we orded was enough to feed 2 people.
Went for dinner as I saw an offer on groupon. I had not been to that side of Barkley street before. So many restaurants. Magic momo was by far the busiest and for good reason. The food was amazing. Chicken momo were full of flavour. The curries both chicken and goat melted in your mouth. The curry sauce was complex in flavour and made me say to my husband - this food makes me happy. Well done magic momo we will be back.
Great little restaurant! Tried momo platter, masala tea and chatpate. Amazing taste (spicy as ordered), fresh tasting dishes. Second time trying Nepalese cuisine - Was not disappointed. Will go again 😉
We felt like having momos on a cold weekend and finally google search led us here. And What a revelation this cosy little place was!!
Though the impatient kid was put off by the wait we decided to stay on and it was a wise decision.The place was super full with customers lining up of for upto 30 minutes to find a place in this tiny joint even though it was a super cold night.
We tried their veg momo platter, veg chowmein, puri tharkari, masala tea and the dahi rasbhari.All of them tasted great and fresh and super warming for the cold night.The chili chutney took us to another world.
Service was not up to the mark as there was only one lady handling the bills, waiting customers,seated customers and cleaning the tables. We understand her volume of work and anyways the food compensated all that.
Will definitely visit again on another cold night and am happy to wait :).
PS: They do not take table bookings.
Nice little joint with not a lot of ambience. But very pleasant service and good food with very reasonable prices. I am a huge fan of momos and this place serves lovely momos. Not the best I’ve had but quite good. And a huge range of chicken and veg momos on offer. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.
One of the best place in Melbourne for momo lovers. Good service, nepalese food. It’s a small place and good for small groups. In Platter one can taste various types of momos.

My score 3.5 stars. J & I had a late lunch here a week ago on Sat 12th Jan - we haven't tried Mo mo's since eating at Mo Mo Station many years ago. Small interior without a lot of ambience, but the female waiter was very pleasant & relaxed. 3 or so groups of people also ate-in while we were there, plus a few TA's. We ordered: Vegie Pakora's > Quite a generous serve, very tasty even if maybe left in the fryer a tad too long - came with tomato sauce! Vegie Mo Mo tasting platter (5 types @ $25 - all with same puréed filling which was very nice) - 4 each of: Steamed > Good, soft & easy to eat. Fried > ok, but not our cup of tea texturally (skin was a bit like a chewy old style suburban fried dim sim). Kothey (pan fried) > Very good, better option than the harder (deep) fried ones (sort of in between steamed & fried). Chilli > Done in a quite spicy tomato sauce with coriander, chunky onion & lots of chunky capsicum. Sauce & veg distracted from the mo mo's IMO, although it did make them nice & moist. Sandheko (spicy marinated) > Very good. Firmer than steamed ones texturally, spicier (in this case the spice added rather than distracted from the experience). They were also topped with spicy "rice bubbles"?, finely diced onion & another savoury "sprinkle" which was all VERY moreish. Dipping sauce was ok, if a bit salty. Pity you can't mix a few Chicken with the Vego ones on the same tasting platter, but that's splitting hairs. Reasonable value & we will return to have the Kothey & Sandheko mo mo's again - maybe I'll try a small serve of the Chicken Crunchy one's too as a naughty flexitarian's treat (the nice waiter said they were her favourite)...
I was in the area for Aangan, but seeing this place wanted to give their Momos a try. Not a lot of places do as many varieties of Momos as this place. I decided to order the basic fried momos and their special Crunchy momos which had a similar texture as KFC chicken as per the hostess. The momos imo were pretty good and I would certainly go back there just for them. The accompanying chutney although was pretty drab and unflavorful. The place is pretty small and won’t pull you in with its ambiance. They do however accept Card Payments and there is parking outside.

We planned to have momos for lunch from work. Have of us hadn't even tried momos earlier. And they did great. Everybody loved it. Be it steamed, fried , kothey or chilli momos.. they were all great.
This unassuming little hidden gem is easy to miss among the plethora of dining options in the Barkley street food and beverage precinct. Simple and tastefully decorated, it is clean and tidy. Through to the rear of the restaurant, you'll find a bar that prepares some decent cocktails, which you can enjoy either at the bar, at your table, or at the beer garden at the rear of the restaurant. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to have a chat. The food is authentic, delicious, and freshly prepared. When you're in this neck of the woods, don't hesitate to give this restaurant a try; I'm sure you won't regret it.
Best Nepalese food in Melbourne. Great ambience and service. Must try buff chowmein, chatamari and thali set. Wasn’t a big fan of their Pani puri though! Overall, 5 star service. Highly recommend!
The best Nepalese restaurant in Melbourne. I would definitely recommend everyone to try. My expectations met with every food I ordered and I often go there. Good job guys. Keep it up 👍
The best momos I had in Melbourne. Authentic nepalese food with great service.
Must try Sukuti Sandheko 😍
The place looks small from the street, but inside it's a bit of a tardis. The seating stretches back through the doorway, past the bar, and then further into a beer garden at the rear. Plenty of seating and perfect for balmy evenings.
Excellent Nepalese food. Tried all of the Momos. They were fantastic. I love the chilli momos.
Tried Magic Momos again. This time tried the momo soup. WOW it was fantastic, and the lamb curry was equally good. The spicy potato salad lives up to it's name. Great stuff. It's all so good.
The people and hospitality here was good. We didn't like the tea that we ordered where they were more than happy to resolve the problem.
Loved the Sukiti Sandheko, and the momo were also quite good.
Loved the food here. The steam and the fried momo tastes good and authentic, didn't really like the taste of the C Momo or the sandeko momo though. The newari khaja set and the chicken choila set also tastes good, definitely would give those a try.
You will experience best Nepalese cuisine here. Momos, chowmein tastes really nice but thali was average
