Vancouver's Nepali food scene stretches from downtown momo bars to Surrey's Scott Road, and it is deeper than most visitors expect. This guide covers seven restaurants published today on meetnepali.com, plus two Nepali groceries and a community organisation worth knowing about, with every address, phone number and hour checked against official sites on November 1, 2026. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
Himalayan Momo Restaurant and Bar, downtown Vancouver
A downtown bar-restaurant built around momos in all their forms — steamed, kothey, jhol and chilli — alongside momo biryani, Mustang Aalu, sekuwa and choila. Its full listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/himalayan-momo-restaurant-and-bar-vancouver gives the Pender Street address and daily 11 AM to 10 PM hours, and weekday lunch specials run until 2 PM.
Gurkha Himalayan Kitchen, Davie Village
A Davie Street favourite for Nepali and Tibetan flavours, from chicken and vegetable momos to goat curry, thukpa and the Nepali Bhojan thali. Check its listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/gurkha-himalayan-kitchen-vancouver for the address, patio and happy-hour details, and note that Friday service runs to just before midnight.
Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill, downtown Vancouver
On Seymour Street, this Nepali-led kitchen leans Himalayan-to-Terai: jhol momo, Nepali veg thali, goat curry, plus tandoori and butter chicken for the wider table. Its listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/mount-everest-kitchen-grill-vancouver confirms the official hours of 10 AM to 10 PM Sunday to Thursday and 10 AM to 11 PM Friday and Saturday, and warns not to confuse it with the separate Kitsilano restaurant of a similar name.
BC Momo, downtown Vancouver
Near Granville Station, BC Momo does momo twelve ways — steamed, fried, jhol, chilli, tandoori, butter, afgani, malai and kothey, in chicken, buff, paneer and vegetable — plus Newari Khaja Set, Chicken Tass and Thakali thali. Its listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/bc-momo-vancouver has the Seymour Street address and daily 10 AM to midnight hours, with a full bar on the same hours.
Momo Hut, Fraser Street
The veteran of the list: BC's first Nepalese restaurant, serving Fraser Street since 2006 as the successor to Café Kathmandu. Steam, fried, pan-fried, butter, jhol, Schezwan and kurkure momos share the menu with Calcutta chicken biryani and chowmein, and its listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/momo-hut-vancouver gives the address and daily 11:30 AM to 11 PM hours.
Spice of Nepal, Surrey
In Surrey's Newton neighbourhood, Spice of Nepal serves veg momo steamed, fried or Mustang Hot, a Traditional Nepali Thali Set, and thakali and Newari dishes. Its listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/spice-of-nepal-surrey carries the 72 Avenue address and official hours, and note the corrected phone number (604) 594-2322 published on the restaurant's own site.
Kathmandu Bar and Grill, Surrey (Scott Road)
The Scott Road location is a late-night momo stop: tandoori grilled momo, Mustang hot momo, jhol and malai momo, and a KTM signature momo platter, open until 12:30 AM Sunday to Thursday and 1 AM Friday and Saturday. Its listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/kathmandu-bar-and-grill-surrey has the 120 Street address, and it is a different location from the Guildford restaurant of the same name.
Stocking up and staying connected
Two Nepali groceries anchor the guide. Danphe Stores on East Hastings, whose listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/danphe-stores-vancouver covers its Canada-wide shipping of noodles, achar, spices and frozen goods, sits alongside Acharya Daiko Store on Kingsway, whose listing at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/acharya-daiko-store-vancouver details its noodles, spices, kitchenware and delivery across Metro Vancouver. The Nepal Cultural Society of BC, at https://meetnepali.com/businesses/nepal-cultural-society-of-bc-vancouver, runs cultural events, Nepali-language teaching and settlement help across the province, and is worth a follow for anyone new to BC.
If you try one place first, start with the momo style you like best and work outward — every kitchen on this list treats momo as the main event, not an afterthought. Have a favourite Vancouver or Surrey Nepali spot we missed? The comments are open.
