This meal took me on a full emotional journey. Something about it was so comforting—it truly felt like being invited into someone’s cozy home and being served a warm, love-filled meal. I absolutely did not expect to eat something this good at a random, almost sad-looking gas station.
We ordered the chicken chili momo and the samaya bazi. The momos had the perfect amount of spice, and the dipping sauce paired with them perfectly. The samaya bazi was an assortment of traditional Nepalese dishes; I especially loved the potatoes, the chicken, and the mung bean (or whatever bean it was—it was delicious either way). Every component was packed with flavor, and the variety on the plate balanced the heat of the chili momos so well.
Would 200% come back.

The true definition of a hole-in-the-wall! Fill your car up with gas and your stomach with Nepalese dumplings at the same time – sounds like a great idea to me! The owner was very kind. He gave me and my friends a dessert on the house – crispy fried rice shaped like a pretzel! The dumplings taste very good; the sauce to be poured over the top reminds me of the spices you normally find in Indian curry. The chicken dumplings were very juicy and flavorful. I definitely recommend stopping by here if you’re heading up north towards DC area!

Tiny, tucked inside a gas station food joint serving Nepali style momos and fried chicken starters. We ordered a plate of chicken steamed momos and chicken choila. I loved the chicken choila — strips of thinly sliced chicken breast perfectly spiced and fried. Tasted amazing as a light snack. The chicken steamed momos was okay, imo. The maida/flour dough was kinda hard and chewy and the mincemeat stuffing inside was spicy, so it was okay. Didn’t particularly taste great, but it wasn’t bad as well.

It looks like a simple gas station, but don’t be fooled! We tried chicken momos and chicken chilly momos at this place, and it did not disappoint! It’s the first time I’ve had this type of dumpling, and I was impressed by the flavor. The owner came out to talk to us and he was describing all the different herbs that are used in the filling, so it’s no wonder they taste so flavorful. They are all handmade, and quite delicious. Food was delightful, and service was great! We were also given a free rice donut as an appetizer.

If you’re around Chantilly and craving real Nepali-style momos, Everest Momo is a must-visit. My favorite is Chicken Jhol Momo. The momos are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made (just like back home Nepal). The chutneys are delicious and make the taste even better.
Service is quick, and the place has a warm Nepali vibe. I’ve tried many momo places, but this one truly stands out.
Highly recommend—worth every visit!

Prepare to have your expectations delightfully shattered! What started as a curious venture, an hour’s drive to a gas station of all places, turned into one of the most heartwarming and delicious culinary experiences I’ve had in ages. This isn’t just a dumpling spot; it’s a hidden gem that absolutely demands your attention.
From the moment we walked in, the aroma alone was captivating. And then came the dumplings – oh, the dumplings! Each one was a miniature masterpiece, bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to tender perfection. They weren’t just delicious; they were soul-satisfying. You can tell they’re crafted with genuine care and a passion for authentic taste.
Adding to the already incredible experience was the owner, a truly kind and generous individual who made us feel like cherished guests rather than just customers. Their warmth was palpable, and they even insisted we try their rice donut – a gesture that was not only incredibly thoughtful but also introduced us to another amazing treat! The rice donut was a revelation: perfectly sweet, chewy, and utterly addictive. It was an unexpected highlight that truly showcased their hospitality and commitment to sharing delightful food.
The excellent service didn’t stop with the owner. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. They contributed to an atmosphere that was both relaxed and inviting, making the entire visit a pleasure.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect, given its unconventional location, was the immaculate cleanliness of the establishment. This isn’t your typical gas station eatery; it’s clear that pride is taken in every corner. The dining area was spotless, organized, and surprisingly comfortable – a testament to their dedication to providing a top-notch experience in every regard.
Yes, it’s in a gas station. No, it’s not what you’d typically expect. But this establishment defies all stereotypes. It’s a testament to the fact that true culinary excellence and outstanding hospitality can be found in the most unexpected places. And the price? Absolutely fair for the quality, quantity, and overall wonderful experience you receive.
We made an hour-long drive, and let me tell you, we would do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for truly exceptional dumplings, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a dining experience that will leave a lasting smile on your face, then look no further. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Never would you ever suspect that some of the tastiest fried chicken in the area comes from a small restaurant, inside a gas station, in your backyard. Did I know that a “momo” was ANYTHING other than your typical eastern style dumpling? I do now that’s for sure. I stopped in for a drink cause I was thirsty, stopped to eat because the smells made me hungry. And man, the wait was WORTH IT. I’ve never had dumplings with that generous portion of filling ANYWHERE. And the guy running the show is so nice, serves you with a smile even though I know with those fryers going, that kitchen is hot. Highly recommend the momo and fried chicken, for def a different and amazing experience

Krishna was so welcoming, and the momos were absolutely delicious! The chili momos, in particular, were bursting with flavor and easily my favorite. This place is truly a hidden gem, I’ll definitely be coming back!

My husband and I went here for the first time today and loved the momos! The people inside were very kind and helpful. You order at the front and then get your food at the back where the food is made. I love that the veggie momos are in a different shape so there’s no confusing them between the meat ones. The chili chicken ones are very spicy and delicious! The momos come with a super spicy chili sauce and a tomato chutney. The aloo sadeko was so yummy and quite spicy as well. Delicious, quick, and friendly!

I’ll open by saying the staff is very helpful and kind, the prices are reasonable, and the serving sizes are large – great value. I ordered the chicken chili Momo and they just tasted…. Old? Like they’re plated way in advanced and then warmed up for the order. I can tell they’re made in house but the tops of each of my dumplings was dry almost to the point of crunchy. I will say the staff is great and the service is fast, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing.
