About this place
The first dish can set the tone, depending on how you like your momo. At Casa Dining & Bar in Itabashi, options include steam momo, Nepalese steamed dumplings; jhol momo, served in a flavourful, spicy soup; and chilli momo, stir-fried with chilli sauce for a sweet-and-spicy finish. Go for steam momo for a simple version, jhol momo for something brothy, or chilli momo for a touch of sweetness and heat.
Curry and naan make a hearty centrepiece. The curry selection includes chicken, butter chicken, mutton, dal and spinach chicken. One reviewer who prefers milder flavours said the chicken and spinach curry suited their taste, while another diner praised the aroma of the naan. Alongside plain naan, there are cheese and garlic versions. You can also choose plain rice, which the menu describes as cooked a little firm, or jeera rice flavoured with cumin. Trying a different staple with your curry is part of the appeal.
For a spread of Nepalese-style snacks, consider mutton sukuti cooked in a spice-blended gravy, jibro fry—a spicy stir-fry of lamb tongue—or timur chicken seasoned with sansho pepper. One diner has also shared a positive impression of the sukuti. These dishes make it possible to build a meal around more than curry, and the drinks menu includes beer, highballs and chuhai for an evening meal.
A Nepalese-style set is available at lunch; one diner wrote about enjoying dal bhat at midday. Whether you choose a lunch set or add momo and snacks to an evening meal, Casa Dining & Bar offers a chance to explore a range of Nepalese dishes in Itabashi.
