Pleated, stuffed, fried, and steamed to order. Our MOMO comes with chili sauce and nothing to apologize for.

Inside Kathmandu Cafe
Prayer flags overhead, warm wood walls, and a menu built from family recipes. Guests say it feels like Nepal.
From the kitchen
Three Friends, One Neighborhood Table
Kathmandu Cafe started with three friends who grew up right here in Edgewater. We played on these blocks, ate at these corners, and always dreamed of giving something back to the neighborhood that raised us.
So we opened a door to Nepal. Every plate we serve carries the flavors we grew up loving, from hand-folded momos to slow-simmered curries, made the way our families taught us. Nothing is rushed, and nothing leaves the kitchen unless we would proudly serve it to our own.
For us, this is more than a restaurant. It is a way to broaden our neighborhood, one meal at a time, welcoming longtime locals and new faces alike to the same warm table.
Come hungry, leave like family. That is the promise the three of us make to every guest who walks through our door.
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.
