Momo Shack

Nestled on South Market Street just a block from the historic downtown square and Elizabethtown College, Momo Shack brings a burst of Himalayan and Indian flavors to central Pennsylvania. The menu is anchored by hand‑rolled Nepali momos—steamed or fried dumplings stuffed with seasoned chicken, lamb, or vegetables—served with a tangy tomato‑chili dipping sauce. Indian lovers can dive into creamy butter chicken, aromatic lamb vindaloo, and a selection of tandoori‑grilled specialties cooked in a traditional clay oven. Fresh naan, basmati rice, and crisp cucumber raita round out each meal. The interior blends warm wood paneling with colorful murals depicting Kathmandu’s bustling streets, creating a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere perfect for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a private celebration. Friendly staff greet guests in English and often share stories about the origins of each dish, enhancing the cultural experience. Opening hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 am‑9 pm; the restaurant is closed on Mondays. Prices range from $8 for a plate of momos to $18 for a full Indian entrée, offering great value for authentic Asian cuisine. Whether you’re a local craving comfort food or a traveler seeking a taste of the subcontinent, Momo Shack promises a memorable dining adventure.
