Have you ever been to this place?

I have been to this place whenever I have to pass through around this area, for more than 20 years now.Its located in Naxal, Bhagawati Bahal, Kathmandu. I love momos served by this EVEREST MOMO CENTER. It offers only BUFF MOMO no other type like chicken, veg etc.

The man behind Everest MOMO,  Dambar 

Dambar Rai, owner,54 years old has even no time to speak, he is so busy. I asked him can I take a photo? only then he smiled once. I was in a peak time of his business 2 pm, he was switching the bell, for calling the service boy to open the momo pot. Then he went on calling number one 3 plate packing, number two 1 plate, number three 2 plates and so on...up to twenty number.

mouth-watering

Probably the first one and most popular momo in Kathmandu started on February 26, 1988, then 27 years old Dambar Rai started the momo center with the aim of earning a livelihood for his family. Today, 26 years later, his restaurant stands out as one of the most loved momo places despite the increasing number of momo centers in Kathmandu.

“I started with forty staff at that time, producing around 200 kilos of momo daily,” he recalls, “And you won’t believe that I started with selling momos at just four Rupees per plate.” Today, the same plate costs Rs 110. However, his production has declined to around 20 kilos per day with only five people working for him because of his health issue.

He is still using those kerosene fired stoves, with which he started his business, it seems probably the customers love the sound of this stove in front of them.
