Best authentic momos in Canberra, especially the fried paneer momo. We went dot at the closing time when they were cleaning up and had closed the fryer. They switched on the fryer again, only for us, so that we can relish the yummy food. Very sweet people, must visit.

Finally got a chance to visit Friends and momo after seeing all the good reviews in the social media. Yes! This place lives up to the hype. I really enjoyed the food there, i had chicken sausage, chicken chowmein and chicken momo. The food was good and tomato chutney was nice. Lovely customer service. I wish they had more dishes added to their menu. Definitely visiting again soon.

Loved the food here. I had Chicken Jhol Momo and Deep Fried Sausages with Chutney here this evening and I coming back! And hey, this place is busy in the evenings. That’s my observation. Forgot to take the picture of sausages ‘cause my mind was too excited to eat lol. Will update this review with more photos in the later days folks!

Seems like the food quality has deteriorated here compared to past couple of years. We ordered chicken, goat, and veg momo, but unfortunately the experience wasn’t great. The patty on the momo was half‑raw and the fillings were quite tasteless. Goat momo tasted like soybean momo instead.
The aloo nimki was also bland and lacking salt.
We also tried the chicken and veg chowmein, and both were disappointing — slightly burnt, bland, and tasted almost identical except for the presence of chicken in one of them.
The only item we genuinely enjoyed was the mushroom and cheese sawaley, which was well made.
Overall, we paid over $110, but the food quality didn’t match the price.
