Edgewater's Himalayan kitchen
Handcrafted momos, bold Nepali spice, and a room full of prayer flags — right here on North Broadway.
Momos, made by hand
Pleated, stuffed, steamed to order. Our momos come with chili sauce and nothing to apologize for.
Inside Kathmandu Cafe
Prayer flags overhead, warm wood walls, and a menu built from Manoj and Sushila Lama's family recipes. Guests say it feels like Nepal.
From the kitchen
From the Himalayas to Edgewater
Manoj and Sushila Lama didn't just open a restaurant — they opened a door to Nepal. Kathmandu Cafe is where that journey lands, one handcrafted momo at a time.
What our guests are saying
We had Chicken Chilli, Veg Momo, and Veg Chowmein — everything was really yummy! The Chicken Chilli was full of flavor and perfectly spicy, the momos were soft with a nice dipping sauce, and the chowmein was delicious with lots of veggies.
Saniya Khan
This is probably my fifth time ordering from KC, and the food is consistently amazing — truly unmatched compared to other Nepali spots. The chow mein has that fresh, smoky wok flavor and the momos are absolutely incredible.
Hasan Priyo
Every time I eat here the food is delicious! I usually order the chilli tofu momo, veg chow mein, samosas, and garlic naan — every single item is fire. The service is quick, the staff are kind, and the restaurant is always clean.

I ordered the chili momo and loved every bite — kind of spicy, but in the best way. I also got to chat with the owner about his vision for the restaurant, which made the whole experience even better.
