Oklahoma City will not overwhelm you with Nepali restaurants, and that is part of the charm. The scene here is concentrated and serious: Edmond does the heavy lifting with two dedicated momo houses, Bricktown adds a polished Indian and Himalayan dining room, Moore brings the buffet-and-momo combo, and one grocery store on NW 39th Street hides a full momo menu inside. All six spots below are new listings on MeetNepali this week, verified against their official sites, and the pantry stops at the end are worth the same trip.
MoMo Mandu Dumplings & Noodles, Edmond
MoMo Mandu Dumplings & Noodles in Edmond (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/momo-mandu-dumplings-noodles-edmond) is a Nepali dumpling spot at 1415 S Blvd, and it keeps things simple in the best way: the menu is built around momos. The chicken jhol momo is the one reviewers keep naming, alongside tandoori chicken momo, chilli momo, veg noodles, and Himalayan tea. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 4 PM to 9 PM and closed on Mondays, so plan it as an evening stop rather than a lunch run.
MOMO MANIA, Edmond
MOMO MANIA in Edmond (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/momo-mania-edmond) is the metro's most unapologetically Nepali menu, down to the house specialty: water buffalo momo, steamed. The lineup runs through jhol momo, pork pan-fried momo, chicken momo, Nepali chicken chowmein, Sherpa noodles, and sausage sticks seasoned Nepali-style. Find it at 644 W Edmond Rd, open Sunday and Tuesday to Saturday from 11 AM to 8 PM, closed on Mondays.
Mt. Everest Cuisines, Edmond
Mt. Everest Cuisines in Edmond (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/mt-everest-cuisines-edmond) is an Indian and Nepalese buffet at 1169 E 2nd St, and the buffet is the draw: it runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM. Outside buffet hours there is still Nepali chicken momo, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and lamb curry. The restaurant is open daily from 11:30 AM to 9 PM.
The Clove Restaurant, Oklahoma City
The Clove Restaurant in Bricktown (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/the-clove-restaurant-oklahoma-city) is the polished stop on this list: an Indian and Nepalese dining room at 200 S Oklahoma Ave with canal views and a full bar. The Nepali side of the menu is real, with traditional Nepalese momo alongside chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, goat curry, and garlic naan. Hours are Tuesday to Thursday 11 AM to 9 PM, Friday 11:30 AM to 10 PM, and Saturday to Sunday 12 PM to 10 PM, with Mondays closed.
Great Himalayan Indian Cuisines, Moore
Great Himalayan Indian Cuisines in Moore (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/great-himalayan-indian-cuisines-moore) is an Indian and Nepalese restaurant at 709 N Moore Ave, and the momo here is the headline: steamed chicken dumplings with momo spices, plus tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic basil naan, goat curry, and a weekend lunch buffet. It is open Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM and Friday to Saturday from 11 AM to 10 PM, closed on Tuesdays.
Rasoi Indian Cuisine, Oklahoma City
Rasoi Indian Cuisine in Oklahoma City (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/rasoi-indian-cuisine-oklahoma-city) is the surprise of the batch: a full momo section hiding inside a grocery store. It sits at 3810 NW 39th St as the in-store restaurant at Spices of India, and the momo menu covers chicken, paneer, and veg in steamed, fried, and chilli styles, plus bhel puri, masala dosa, a daily buffet, and samosas. Lunch runs 11 AM to 3 PM, dinner runs Sunday and Tuesday to Thursday 4 PM to 8:30 PM and Friday to Saturday 4 PM to 9:30 PM, and Mondays are closed.
Stocking up in Oklahoma City
For the pantry, Spices of India in Oklahoma City (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/spices-of-india-oklahoma-city) is the NW 39th Street store behind Rasoi, stocking bulk spices, lentils, fresh produce, halal meats, and fresh roti and paratha, and it is an Indian and South Asian grocery serving the Nepali community. India Bazaar Oklahoma City (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/india-bazaar-oklahoma-city-oklahoma-city) is another Indian and South Asian grocery at 3607 N Portland Ave, open daily 10:30 AM to 9 PM. The Hindu Temple of Oklahoma (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/hindu-temple-of-oklahoma-oklahoma-city) is the community anchor at 7200 N Coltrane Rd, a Hindu hub serving the wider South Asian diaspora since 1982. And students should know about the Nepal Student Association at the University of Central Oklahoma (https://meetnepali.com/businesses/nepal-student-association-university-of-central-oklahoma-edmond) in Edmond, which supports Nepali students and runs cultural events including Dashain-Tihar Mahotshav.
If you are passing through the metro, start in Edmond for the momos, save Bricktown for a slower evening, and finish at NW 39th Street for the pantry run. Which of these six would you try first?
