Harrisburg, PA is home to one of the largest Nepali and Bhutanese-Nepali communities in the entire United States — tens of thousands of families resettled here over the past two decades. And the food scene shows it. Derry Street alone could keep a momo lover busy for a week. Here are 7 Nepali (and Nepali-and-Indian) spots worth trying, all verified with current addresses, hours, and photos.
Tamu Restaurant — 2380 Colonial Rd, Harrisburg
Nepali, Indian, and Indo-Chinese under one roof — chef Rakesh Gurung's menu runs from gobi Manchurian to garlic naan to mango lassi. BYOB.

Mom's MoMo and Deli — 5550 Derry St, Harrisburg
A family-run favorite: steamed, fried, and jhol momos, thukpa, puri sabji, and pani puri. Budget-friendly, homely feel, and the complimentary tea while you wait is a nice touch.
