FARGO — Momos n’ More is now open at 530 6th Ave. N. in downtown Fargo.
Co-owner Prakash Haddaway-Pokhrel, taking a brief break from cooking up his Indian and Nepali dishes, told The Forum Momos n’ More opened Monday, Dec. 5. Haddaway-Pokhrel owns the restaurant alongside his wife, Brett.
Momos are the central focus of the menu, with chicken, beef, pork and vegan options available. Momos come in servings of eight, with a steamed option priced at $11.99 and a fried option for sale at $12.99.
Also on the menu is a homemade chicken or pork curry combo. The combo includes naan and a cup of rice for $12.99. Plain and garlic naan are available.
To drink, Momos n’ More offers mango lassi for $4.99 or hot chai tea for $2.99.

Though they have only been open for a few days, Prakash said that customers have responded positively thus far. “I’ve gotten very good feedback from everyone. People love the fried momos and everyone has been really nice to us so far,” he said.
Prakash indicated that while the current menu is small, he hopes to add more menu items in the future. For one, Prakash said he’d like to begin offering bison momos, an ideal marriage of food from his old and new homes. “It’s a pretty simple and short menu right now, but we’ll be adding more food items later on as we perfect what we are doing right now.”
In a previous interview with The Forum, Prakash and Brett explained that opening Momos n’ More had been a long-term dream of theirs. “Our dream has been to open up a restaurant. We worked so hard,” Brett, a Munich, N.D. native, said. “We’re really excited. This has been our dream since the day we got married.”
Now that the restaurant is open, Prakash said it has been “a little bit stressful,” but an enjoyable experience no less. “(It’s) kind of exciting,” he remarked. “I’ve gotten to talk to a lot of people and it’s fun.”
Hours for Momos n’ More are 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The restaurant is open Mondays to Saturdays and closed on Sundays.
