Oreo shake Net −1

“Alrite let me write my honest review, i went there for momos but end up ordering fried rice and oreo shake. Veryyyy Disappointed because.. 1.) rice was too grainy and it took long time for me to chew “grainy rice” 2) the oreo shake was watery and it wasn’t thick and chilled or iced enough and the taste was too flat for me + not worth the price.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Check spice. Ask about the heat level before ordering jhol momos, soup or spicy noodles; one diner found the food unbearably hot.

Share chow mein. Add street-style chow mein to the order if sharing: a recent diner says one portion can serve two to three people.

The Bottom Line

Yalla Momos is a focused momo restaurant in International City, with enough variety to keep the order interesting beyond standard dumplings. Reviews mention chicken steamed, fried, tandoori, Afghani and butter chicken momos, while street-style chow mein, chilli chicken and chicken lollipop make the menu work for a fuller meal. The apple dessert momo and kulfi add a sweet finish.

The strongest feedback is for the chicken momos: steamed versions have been called soft, juicy and flavorful, and the mutton fried momos were praised for their crisp texture. Chow mein is a useful sharing dish, with one recent diner saying it serves two to three people. Paid parking is available outside, and the branch has been described as quiet and comfortable, though seating can be limited to roughly three tables.

There are some reasons to order selectively. Multiple reviewers find the prices high for the portion size, and cooking quality is not perfectly consistent: reports include soggy momos, dry nutri tandoori momos and over-fried chicken. Spice can also be serious, especially in jhol momos, soup and chilli-heavy noodles.

Follow Google Maps carefully because the outlet is on the back side and can be easy to miss. For a first visit, chicken steamed momos plus shareable chow mein is the safer starting point; ask about spice before adding fiery sauces.
