Mom's MoMo and Deli
About This Spot
Stepping into Mom's MoMo and Deli on Derry Street feels like entering a quiet corner of Nepal tucked right in Harrisburg. The space hums with a sense of genuine care and familiarity—a casual local eatery where the pace invites you to settle in and savor each moment. Warm wood tones and softly themed decor create a comfortable backdrop that welcomes both first-timers and regulars alike, fostering a mood that’s relaxed yet attentively alive.
There’s an unmistakable feeling here of thoughtful hospitality, where the staff intuitively tune in to your preferences and guide you through a menu that’s as fresh and homey as it is rich with layered flavors. It’s not about flashy presentation but rather about honest, soulful cooking—the kind that evokes shared stories around a family table. Whether it’s the delicate pan-fried momos, the soothing soup momos, or the subtly spiced noodle dishes, each bite offers a glimpse into a culinary tradition grounded in comfort and authenticity.
The casual atmosphere never feels rushed, allowing curious palates to explore with confidence and return visits to quickly feel like coming home. Complementary touches—like a refreshing mint drink or the unexpected delight of a randomly brewed tea—hint at the warmth behind the scenes, where every detail is considered without pretense.
Mom's MoMo and Deli serves not just food but a quietly joyful experience: a space where flavorful, heartfelt meals invite connection, reflection, and the simple pleasure of being well looked after, even if you’re far from the Himalayan foothills.

WOW! Hidden gem for sure! Walked into a beautiful scenery on my right and a cute themed dining area. Admittedly, I felt taken care of when he knew that was my first time there and started asking what I was in the mood for and recommended a few things! The presentation of the food and drink was gorgeous, and the TASTE.....SCREAMED FRESH, HOMEY, AND FLAVORFUL, even though my tummy was a little upset prior to coming in, I still tried the Chili sauce he had on the side. AGAIN...FRESH, SPICEY, AND FLAVORFUL (saved that for my significant other to try, he loves spicy). The guy up front was such a sweetie and deserved more than the 20% tip I left. Now to mention it, everyone working there, were sweeties and you can really tell that they put a lot into the food and the atmosphere to bring it all together. Chefs Kiss! 100% coming back, I might be generous enough to share this hidden gem with my friends, but I gotta come back again for date night before I blow my cover, then I'll tell them to meet up

Visited with 3 friends and we shared everything each of us ordered. I ordered the pork deep-fried dumplings, spiral potatoes, and pani-puri. So flavorful and delicious. When I tasted my friend's fried rice, I knew I had to come back and get my own, which I did for takeout, and the container was PACKED FULL. I will definitely return sooner rather than later, even though this is nowhere close to my home.

I was visiting my relatives, and before heading back home, I decided to stop by! I ordered the Pork Thupa, Pork Momos (both jhol and chili), Pani Puri, Pork Kaan, and several other dishes. Every single one was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth the money and the drive. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves great food and warm hospitality!

Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Casual environment that's nicely decorated. Immediately was greeted by gentleman at the register. He was very in explaining some dishes and their heat levels. Everything looked great, so ordered the Keema noodles at medium heat, samosas, and mango lassi. They give you some complimentary tea that was amazing. I would've ordered a jug of this to go if I could've. Food was just as amazing as the Keema noodles were some of the best I've ever had. I wish I had a few more days in Harrisburg as would've come back for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend this place for great food and service.

Small but mighty! They get it done and they do it well. The interior is well decorated, with artifacts and items that didn’t feel too gimmicky. Service was smooth. Def took a min but nothing ridiculous. Food was good, chowmien banged & chicken momo was satisfying but a lil bland. Would come again!

Went there for the first time, ambiance is great, food is awesome, hospitality is topnotch. Enjoyed the complimentary black tea with a hint of ginger. Poori tarkari was the highlight for me. Overall, a good place to share food with your loved ones.

Wow!! Haven’t been this impressed in a local restaurant like this in a long time! The outside is unassuming, but once you go inside, the owner is welcoming and invites you to take a seat and order at the counter. The ambiance is of the mountains of Nepal, quite unique! The owner thoughtfully helped us pick a variety of dishes with different tastes- we ordered the chatpate momo, jhol/steamed momo, crispy pork belly, chili chicken, and strawberry lassi. The chatpate momo was deep fried and crispy with bean sprouts- delicious. The chili chicken made my Indian husband very happy- we have tried this all over the US and haven’t found a flavor that’s this tasty, the meat was also juicy. The pork belly had a wonderfully chargrilled taste, crispy and satisfying without being dry. The owner showed us how to eat the jhol momo while also trying the momo plain with sauce. The skin was so nice and thin and the filling was well seasoned and juicy. I highly recommend this! The strawberry lassi was made with fresh strawberries. All the staff were so kind and respectful, I felt I was at a relative’s house enjoying their cooking. Portions were generous and affordable. We will be back 100%! Update 4/27/25: These momos are just as great as my first time! In the past year we’ve traveled to many places including California, Boston, India, and China and haven’t found any momos as good as Mom’s MoMo. The jhol momo especially is outstanding and you can’t help but drinking the jhol. We also tried the jhaneko momo and it was beautifully pan fried with bell peppers and onions, and the crispy spiral potatoes were fried perfectly, with light batter and seasoning. We were so touched the owner remembered us and the staff were all so pleasant and respectful. I also loved the complimentary water bottles. Can’t wait to come back!
