Little India Express - Lexington

Your Buff Jhol Momo is one of the best I've ever tried outside Nepal. Staff are friendly and welcoming. This is a to-go place. This was our first time in Boston and our friend brought us here. I want to go there every time I get back to Boston.

This charming little Indian restaurant offers a fully Halal menu, with the exception of buffalo and sukuti. The owners are Nepalese, and the chefs include Bangladeshi cooks, ensuring that the entire menu, including the Himalayan dishes, is Halal. I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far, but my personal favorites are the Tandoori chicken momo dumplings and the Qeema naan. Highly recommended!

The delightful variety of momos and the excellent hospitality keep me coming back here repeatedly.

The filling was fantastic, and the cilantro and onion topping, along with the sprinkle of chaat masala and lemon/lime wedges, added beautiful finishing touches. I have a few minor critiques (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). The smoky tandoori flavor could have been more pronounced. While the momos had some char marks, the charred taste itself didn’t stand out as much as I hoped. Additionally, the momos were so intensely red that it looked like food coloring was used; if that's the case, it's unnecessary and would be better without it. Serving the momos on skewers with some grilled green peppers and onions would be a nice enhancement. Despite these few issues, this place is a hit and will definitely satisfy any craving for tandoori momos. It's also much quicker than making them at home, so I will absolutely be back!

This is one of our go-to places for dinner takeout. We usually get the chicken vindaloo which is very flavorful, the veggie samosas which are delicious and the channa battura with fresh and steamy batturas . Make sure to get the green mint sauce with the samosas. Consistently good quality.
