The skiers paradise of New Hampshire's White Mountains may not quite resemble the snowcapped mountains of Nepal, but a few hours south you can taste unparalleled authentic Nepalese cuisine. Kathmandu Spice in Manchester serves up momos and dal bhat you'll never forget.
Radha Thapa, a New Hampshire Local Guide on Google Reviews, says of the restaurant, "Reasonably priced and great hospitality. Your special requests are always entertained. If you are looking for good Nepali food, give it a try."
One of their signature dishes is the homemade momos, a classic Nepalese dumpling. You can have them steamed or fried with anything from buffalo meat to fried chicken inside.
Momos have a rich Nepalese history, dating back to the fourteenth century. The doughy dumplings, gently stuffed with meat and spices can be found on every street corner in Nepal. And in this case, on South Willow Street in Manchester, NH.
Kathmandu Spice also offers a wine list to find the perfect pairing for your next date night. The restaurant has extensive vegetarian offerings and an accessibly priced lunch menu to cover all the culinary bases. Locals have lauded the spot as a lunch savior during a challenging work day.
Though the momos are a superstar here, the restaurant also offers a menu of Indian Cuisine, Nepal's neighbor in both geography and cuisine.
With similar flavors and food pairings, the two cuisines blend remarkably well and guests can order of both menus with ease.
In New Hampshire, taking a vacation to a faraway and flavorful land is as simple as driving to Manchester and pulling into Kathmandu Spice.
