Darjeeling has always been a place close to my heart and what could be better than to visit a place that serves some of the best authentic momos in town ? A lively place, tasty food and the courteous staff, this place is here to win your heart and soul.

Good cafe with peaceful ambience. Food and service is good. Staff is friendly but forgot ful. One of them gave soup but forgot to bring the fries to it. Served garlic burnt rice and said crispy rice. But otherwise it is a nice place to have to good food. All the items were meticulously prepared and was delicious in taste.

Large spacious place… super chic instagrammable interiors… plenty of parking and spot on momos. This is a place where you can spend time with friends and family with some delish momos and sipping warm fuzzy tea!! I so wish Dubai had some serious rains.. this place would have been heavenly with some hot chai and a long lost friend talking about old stories :).Anyways place serves nepali indo Chinese.. Maggis, pasta and sandwiches . They have wide selection of teas too.. a super awesome place for lunch or dinner !! I love this place and you should definitely try once too.. we ordered manchow soup(best one I had in dubai so far), chinese combos (decent), cheese maggi (okayish, I’ve had better), pasta (nice), schezwan fried rice ( nice.. could be better), ginger ice tea (good), Darjeeling tea and lemon grass tea (very nice) and plenty of momos (bang on ). On the downside AC could have been better!! Anyway a place worth a visit though!

Casual ambience, decent dumplings. Khow suey was outstanding. Nice selection of tea and and a good place to hangout with some neat decor. Minus one star for the overcooked chicken in the soup.

4/519th March 2021Came here with friends on a weekday. Got a table pretty quickly. The waiters explained the menu very well. The restaurant is pretty well decorated as well.I ordered the mixed platter momos. Chicken and mutton. It was TASTY! Amazing. Loved it.Tried a chicken Lollipop which my friend ordered as well. It was spicy and tasted nice as well.I had the Darjeeling Milk Tea as well. It was ok. Wouldnt try again. Not to my liking.All in all, would come again.

After it moved to New location the restaurant is more spacious than earlier. Taste remain same always good momos, Chinese combos are good. Darling tea is so tasty.Hidden Gem in Karama to enjoy momos, noodles especially the darling tea. Wonderful ambiance. Try it guys 👍😊

Nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of Karama is an oasis of peace and tranquility.On stepping inside, you immediately feel transported to another world. I felt as though I was in a cozy place up in the Himalayas.The decor is simple and rustic, echoing the peaceful Himalayan vibe. It is elegant in its simplicity. But enough about the decor, Im sure you want to know about the food.Lets start with the Tea...a variety of Darjeeling teas are available and in a variety of fashions. I would recommend the Special Darjeeling Milk Tea as well as the Darjeeling Nilgiri Blend, but you can choose any of the others and they will not disappoint.The food: The momos are delectable! Fantastic combinations to appeal to every palate.My picks are: Paneer Schezwan for the vegetarians and the Chicken Schezwan for the others. But again, you cant go wrong with any of them.Definitely try the chili garlic noodles. YUM!To be honest, everything that I tried from the menu was delicious.Pricing: It is very well priced and will not hurt your pocket.Remember to say hi to Anoop, he is one of the nicest people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.Overall, I will be back here again and again and again!

Very welcoming and warm ambience. If you love Nepalo cuisine, this is a great place to be. Absolutely love the chilli styled chicken momos. Karak tea, Maggie & veg cheese sandwich were delicious.

Food served is based on Darjeeling, West Bengal, India. Must try momo - steamed, pan fried, tandoori, etc, they are absolutely delicious. They also serve Darjeeling tea.

Ambience 9/10Food 9/10Service 6/10 ( they were short of staff, restaurant was fully occupied)

Favorite place! Amazing food and drink... specially the Darjeeling tea with milk and momo 🥟 🤩Ambiance is as calming as we can think of...😊Great staff!!!

Went to this cozy place for an early dinner and enjoyed the meal thoroughly!!Enjoyed the veg sizzler, with rice and Chinese momos. The rice could have been more flavoured, it lacked spices and flavour. The veg Chinese’s momos along with sizzler tasted amazing, it was fresh crispy and soft.Also tried their Nepali style thukpa (veg), tasted fine, again comparatively Nepali thukpas are more in flavors and spicy ness which was lacking here. Overall thukpa tasted fresh and the noodles were well cooked. Will try their non veg thukpa next time.We also ordered for chicken bao, which could have been the best. Anyhow the stuffing the bao was still very tasty but the bao buns were a disappointment as we could smell the yeast very strongly! Otherwise it would have been the outstanding dish.. over all the bao chicken if I could imagine without the yeast smell, I would have loved it.Overall the experience was good, food was delicious and fresh. The staff were friendly and courteous towards their customers!

Test wise better than other places but cost is expensive 🙃 6 pcs chicken momo with AED 20 is very less. I went there to try the momo as a lot of people were talking about their momo but nothing especial. Only difference is momo Achar ( pickkle) which is in peanuts base ,else you get to test same type of momo all over the Dubai as well.

Nice place with North East Indian menu. The food is quite good and reasonably priced. The service sadly is a quite slow. However, this could have been a one off instance since we went during the weekend and I guess they were under staffed or overwhelmed. Other than that, excellent place, highly recommended!

Darjeeling cafe, one of the few fantastic restaurants. The food is nice and worth the money spent. I have had momos, veg noodles, some veg curries and their tea. One of the places where I could have tea outside my home. Their non-veg food is also great as I could see my friends enjoying the food.The ambience is awesome, as you can see in the pics.(they have moved to this new location like 3-4 months back, even I got confused when I reached new location).

Hard to find via the google map - quite tricky with all those service road, if you miss one you should take then...good luck for another 7 minutes.Rta parking many of them once you reach.Beautiful and relaxing ambiance.Awesome food and taste.Be prepared to spend minimum of aed 80 for two person.

Finally found a place that serves decent momos in Dubai. Darjeeling café does not disappoint you when it comes to food! We ordered momos, ginger fried rice and dried chilli chicken. They were all very good.With regard to ambiance, it isnt a very big place but quite cute and fairly clean.The servers are friendly, but the place is definitely understaffed. Too many customers and only two servers running around. They tend to forget orders sometimes and youve to remind them so that can become frustrating. This is the only reason my rating is missing one star.

They shifted to a new place and is now bit more spacious. But the design and looks they had before was better. Very nicely designed interiors with the theme of darjeeling. For the first time ever in ny life i felt annoyed for food being served too early coz i was not satisfied taking enough pics, and the food came, their speed of service quickest than even a cafeteria in uae, it was not a cooked and kept food, it was damn hot. And the taste was the most authentic. The way food is served, the way each ingredients in it are been cut finely, uniquely and precisely and the way each dish displayed separate from each others style, it shows that they have done a huge attention to detail and only a perfectionist head chef can acheive such a thing. The perfectionist mentality was seen maintained in its each and every aspects from placing each probs to until the way each pieces in the dish are served with such a polite staff, its a place to eat an indian and some one who like to experience indianism shud visit. But this is Darjeeling theme and nicely did the job. Very tasty food but the quantity is very less in all and is a bit expensive than normal restaurants but compared to all in all thats the right price.

Such a lovely place! Great interiors, friendly staff. The food was amazing, we tried different momos, noodles, sizzling chicken and a fish dish. Very flavorful, colourful, cooked to perfection! Darjeeling cafe is definitely a hidden gem in Karama, worth a visit.

Excellent selection of momos both vegan and vegetarian. Favourite nepali food.The waiter should tell us if the food we are ordering is same as other things we ordering. We got chowmein and another soup which was the same thing.Good value for money.

The best ambience, Entering the cafe made me really surprised. It is not as it is when looking from outside. The interior and the arrangements are awesome and feel good. I love the budhas kept and drawn around each and every corner. The food was also good. Especially the fried momos ❤

Nice vibe , the ambiance does remind one of Nepal or the himalayan hills.. I had thier momos which was good ( not the very best in town to be honest) . The only downside was the value for money , it is on the pricier side ( I personally view momos as a budget , feel good snack ) .

The decor is awesome, i felt like i came back to my country(Nepal). Food is equally awesome must try; Darjeeling tulsi tea and chicken cheese mo:mo also thuppa, phale and lassi. Well try everything and see what you love.

If somebody is from Kolkata and longingly want to have Darjeeling style Momo, this is the place to be. Beautiful quiet place, absolutely loved it.

Definitely my favorite place to go for momos / dimsums/ dumplings .Have been here many a times and never disappointed . Do try the schezwan and Manchurian style .

Strongly Recommend, delicious food, reasonable price, cozy place, peace environment. I like the concept of design ancient design.

The food and the atmosphere speaks volume. Every time i enter this place It brings all the memories back from home. The darjeeling tea is my special treat to come here. The variety of momo’s will blow your mind with the flavorful chutney that comes with it. The menu list is huge so every time i visit this place i get chance to try new things. The appetizers and gravy list has always amazed me with its options.😋😋 Also, Don’t forget to try thukpa, phaley, noodles and fried rice.. its yumm...The staffs are always nice and polite.The place is big enough for big gatherings.The interior, decorations and walls will give you this cosy vibe that you wouldn’t want to miss.Iced tea has become one of my favorite this summer.

The best tea , indian strong tea.

Finally found a place for good momo’s here in Dubai. I had veg momos here and packed two more for home. Veg momo was really good+masala free, just like how it is! They even give soups with the momos. If you like tea, they have a good amount of teas that you can try and other great food items on their menu, which I’ll be definitely trying soon. You can also order their momos online. 5⭐️🥟🤤

Looks of the restaurant was ok. But the food was not up to the mark. We ordered prawn, chicken and buff momos. The size of the momos are really small and as per the taste not that good. We also ordered darjeeling tea. But felt like having Lipton tea not darjeeling tea. 2 out of 5.

This is a small place that serves great food. Their Momos were amazing. Also their rice and noodles were good. They have a good menu that has a lot of options.

Great atmosphere, has some unique but fun furniture, had really good momos and tea

You crave Nepali food? This is the place to go to. Amazing ambiance lot of parking space outside. Great staff. A must visit if you love momos specially.

The cafe has great food with a great ambience. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The place looks beautiful and depicts the essence of darjeeling.

Great place for authentic Darjeeling food, it leaves you feeling nostalgic and takes you to the beautiful mountainous regions. A must go for the cravings of Momos and Maggie. 🥰

A hidden Gem in the midst of chaotic Karama. Great Interiors design, within a small space. Must try out the Darjeeling tea and their steamy Momos. Perfect combo for a sunset snack. Recommend it. 👍

We tried the jhol momo soup and it was really good. However, the paneer bao was horrible. It was dry and weirdly chewy so we asked the server to take it back and fix it and he kept arguing with us that thats how it is and we are the first ones to say its not nice! We askes him to call the manager he said there is no manager. We asked him to replace it and give us momos instead he said they cant do that and it can only be replaced with another bao and that would take 20 minutes. We were almost done with the rest of our food so we told him we dont want it at all and asked for the bill. They charged us for the bao despite the fact that we didnt even take a proper bite of it. I would have loved to go back to try their other good but extremely disappointed with their poor service and lack of respect.

The best place in town for momos! Hands down. Dont look for any other place any where in Dubai. Always order the lemon ice team. Always.

Wonderful experience!Love the ambiance, the delicacies and the hospitality.Kudos to the chef for customising the food as per individual pallettes!Definitely added this place to my hangout joints and visiting atleast once in a week.

The taste not consistent .. the repeat order was not same as first dish .. waiters were like robot only .. no extra efforts no explaination.. since we were new to restaurant wanted to try few more dishes

A must try is jhol momos.would suggest to go ahead with original momos (steamed, curry)tandoori was not that good, spices were too much.but would give a 5 star to jhol momos (spicy)

They serve the best momos on the Bur Dubai- Karama side. You get authentic Nepalese flavors all throughout. Their wai wai chat is also one of the best in town. Their chicken drumsticks are a hit or miss. Some days they prepare it really well and some days it tastes like raw chicken. The funny thing is inspite of telling them the chicken was undercooked and returning the dish after taking one piece they charged us for it in the bill. But I would definitely go back to this place though for their momos and wai wai chat. Space is a little limited if you go with a large group on weekends.

Thukpa and Momos took me back to hill stations. Right amount of filling and spice. Had heard a lot about this place, it was worth the hype!

Love this place. Food here is just so satisfying - no other way to describe it. You eat and you go home smiling

Food, Ambience, People everything is awesome with reasonable prices, if u miss Indian street food recommend to visit and feel nostalgic with taste and ambiance.#Worth visit

I decided to check this place out as it was listed in Zomato app as HIDDEN GEM.. the place is quite hidden because though we passed the same street twice we couldnt spot its location.. hehe 😜.. jokes apart .. If you are a momos lover then this place serves good yummy ones.. restaurant is quite small but it’s nicely decorated and well maintained.. bit expensive than other momo shops that I had tried..

As soon as I stepped into this shop I felt like I was teleported to Darjeeling or northeast India. I should give 100 on 100 for the ambience. Food is also very delicious. I dont know if its because of the cafe or because of the people whom I spend my time with there. I really loved it. Moreover, it is economical tooThe sticky toffee pudding was mouth watering I must say..Follow my Instagram @rukkusumayya for more food updates

Great place with good atmosphere but food lacking a bit in the traditional flavour profile. Maybe put less on the menu as well.

An awesome place for north eastern Indian food... Love the soya momos(veg).

Worth to make a visit to this Cafe! Theyve got a great menu for Momo lovers and have a range of Darjeeling tea options to try for.

Nice vibe good food but they take 30-35 mins to get out your order plus on bizi evening the A/C doesn’t work properly

Best momo in dubai

Darjeeling cafe! a place on my list for best cafe . Visited for the first time, and I could not resist my self to review and recommend this place to all.Ambiance - excellentService - excellent.Food we ordered - yummy and very tasty.And Darjeeling special tea - 👍

Amazing decor .. a lovely bookshelf.. great food and helpful staff to boot! A small lovely hidden gem in Karama!!

Cozy ambience, nice taste and ample choice. Momos are amazing

Everything about this place is fantastic, good food, great service, ambience is even better, keep up the good work

A feel good place ..... love their Darjeeling chai.... made me their fan..... good s/which...and momos..... the interior is a variety......

It was a coincidence to chance upon Darjeeling cafe. It has a peaceful and quaint ambience. Highly recommended for bookworm. Grab a good book from the shelf and enjoy it over a cup of Special tea.If you are lucky, you may catch the owner & have a chat about meditation.Overall experience was a memorable one.

Best Milk Tea so faaaar I have tasted in UAE. Momos are great too.

Lovely interior and really nice service

Simply fantastic: amazing attentive service, great taste of variety of food, well worth the money. Can’t wait to come back!

I got recommendation of this place from a friend and it turned out to be awesome. We tried momos and Darjeeling special tea. Everything tasted fresh n yumm. They serve tea in a kullhar(earthenware) which i am not a fan of. Parking is bit of a challenge in the area so one should be prepared for it. Overall, a good experience.

Perfect place for Himalayan authenticity- taste, ambience, traditional touch and 5 star guest service !!

-Spacious-nice ambience-neat-good food and service-decent pricing-ample parking

Yummy homemade foods 😋 filled likes my hometown I❣️this place & inside views awsm

Nice place and amazing food especially live Masala Pepsi

The food is really good but the service is very slow .wont go there again as the service is really bad .

Superb food, decor, authentic Darjeeling style. Try the winter bowl

Nice place to try momos, noodle and special Darjeeling tea

Nice food except the manchow soup which was bad. Service was very slow

For more detailed reviews please visit my Insta Page @ sykobloggerThis was a hidden gem i found in the alleys of Karama.Literally stumbled upon this place and trust me, one of the best places for momos and maggiJust like its name, the place gives you a feeling of being in darjeeling.Staff here is friendly but super busy always.Coming to food.... Momos is their spaciality and also MaggiIf you come this far and not try the momos and maggi... you guys are missing something TRULYHIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Wonderful experience!Love the ambiance, the delicacies and the hospitality.Kudos to the chef for customising the food as per individual pallettes!Definitely adding this place to my hangout joints!

Beautiful Ambience and decent food😁 .. must visit if u miss Darjeeling momo n noodles😊

Went to this cafe late night and wanted something refreshing! Their spring rolls were crisp and delicious... Vanilla shake was a perfect blend of sweet and milk! Cold coffee too was absolutely refreshing and light... Their whipped cream had a smooth texture and the sweetness was just right! Lastly the masala Maggie... It just blew my mind... Tangy and tasty is what I would say. The ambience is cozy and gives you a very welcoming vibe! Highly recommend this place.

Tea was more milk and the momos could have been better

Good small, but cozy place to have lunch, Momos with clear soup is their specialty and don’t forget to try their specialty tea at the end although visiting this place found that their tea is not consistent. Good for family or small groups. Outside seating is also an option, depending on the temperature 😊

Cutest corner momo shop with the best tea in town. Decor is quaint and cozy, food is delicious. We cant help returning to this place as often as we can.

Ambiance: 4/5When seen from outside everyone will surely think how are we all going to fit in, we went as a group of 10 people, but we still managed due to the wonderful service provided. The cafe is small and cozy- and do bring the feel of a cafe place in Darjeeling, the decorations, waitings, the waiters, everything will remind of the same. And the place is nicely lit too.Service: 4/5Inspite of the rush the day we went in, the waiters were still patiently taking down our orders, and any suggestions or any change of the ingredients can be asked and it will.be done. The service was good and quick.Food: 4/5Darjeeling cafe- that means momos! We ordered momos, tapas- both vegetarian and non-vegtarian, rice bowls- munchurian and beef- and it was really good! Loved the taste and the momos were fresh.The milkshakes, cold coffee is a must try here!What was disappointing was the tea- being a Darjeeling cafe we tried the tea, they have varieties of tea, and we had 4 kinds- and it was not up to the mark, so wouldnt recommend that. And also the hot chocolate was too sweet.The masala chai on the other hand turned out to be good.For- family, friends and kids friendly too.No smoking areaNo alcohol served hereNo outdoor seating

There are some good restaurants and then there are superb eating joints with simple and amazing soups and momos....its definitely a must try especially when it comes to taking hungry friends with a cold and blocked nose or someone who just wants to have a taste of the north east food.Must visit at least once... coz the other times u.will be either deciding when to go and with whom or youll be busy salivating about the yummy food.

Small place for dinning.But quite cozy and with great ambience.Amazing momos and chai.Great hangout place with friends.Total recommend

Really nice momos and a large portion for the price.

Best Darjeeling food in UAE really loved it .will surely recommend to my friends n family and staffs are very kind see u again..👍🏻

The best tea ever ... Wonderful place and the awesome chai

This place is awesome. Delicious food and great staff.

Really enjoyable food. Not the cheapest, but if you are in the mood of Indo - Oriental cuisine like Noodles / Momos / Soups and Broths, the are fantastic. Very nice and trendy small lil cozy outlet.Spend about 30 AED per person for a nice sufficing meal.Great Veggie Noodles, Great Fried Rice, Amazing Mushroom Cheese Maggi.Must try their food

Tried cheese corn and paneer schezwan momos and veg thupka. Loved it. Didnt enjoy khaoseu as much. Quaint place lovely staff but extremely sloooow service.

A bit pricey, loved the ramen!

Great place with an amazing atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the menu is very well planned. They had one of the best momos i tried in dubai.We ordered a brownie milkshake and an oreo milkshake. Surprisingly both of them tasted exactly the same. The only difference was the topping change which was funny.However, overall a good experience.

Came across this place while taking a walk in the evening. Since I am from Darjeeling, I had to give it a try. Went there and found the place quite interesting. The decor is lovely. Reminded me of my hometown. Ordered my fav aloo bhujia. Its nepali style aloo dum and bhujia. The taste was same as my hometown. Ordered a veg momo then. Loved the momo and the soup. Reminded me of the momos of back home. Will visit this place every weekend so that I dont miss home.

Eclectic little cafe in karama with great tasting food and an ambience to boot

Everything is perfect...

This place is a total hit or miss. I went there several times and had a different experience every single time. The only constant experience was the taste of their tea/chai which is good. I went there especially for momos but sadly more often than not, it tasted stale, dry, and just nothing like how momo tastes. Wish they would get a Nepali chef who knows how to make proper momos and live up to its name.

Great food, great ambience and awesome support team. Always enjoyed dining @ Darjeeling Cafe.

Interior was amazing, food was ok!

Lovely place ..Good food...Pure ambiance...nice people

Good Ambience. Great tea choices..

I honestly loved the place ....if you miss your small cozy college cafeteria where you would go for a warm cup of noodles and momo to feed your soul ...Hit this place you would definitely feel the same warmth here

Good place for getting arround with friends

Great momos and mains. Some are hit and some are a miss

I havnt tired much dished but the chicken and veg momos are really good as its served with vegetable clear soup.Which makes it a Perfect combination and keep your mouth moist.Also tired egg fried rice. Which was good. Onl it was a fat rice instead of basmati. Maybe thats what the use traditionally.
