Mousam Spice House is a hidden gem on S Lamar Blvd! 🌟 I stopped by for lunch and was instantly impressed by their vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. I tried the Nepali momos and they were delightfully spiced, just the right balance of flavor and texture.

For my main, the Indo-Chinese chicken fried rice was a savory hit!

The casual vibe is perfect for families, and I loved the outdoor seating options, especially since dogs are welcome. Don’t miss the vegan choices - they looked amazing too! A must-visit for anyone craving authentic flavors! 🥟✨


Shout out to Jhool Momos.
Hugely satisfied with them.
Chicken wrap is also good, was able to remember my kaati roll days in India.
However, Garlic Panner noodles and Panner fried rice disappointed us.
One is too dry and and other is too oily.
And the paneer didn’t feel like a fresh one. It’s already a gas station near downtown (risky location) and the garbage clean is full when we went there.
So, we had to search for other places to throw the food containers.

This is lamar location, thanks for sharing your experience of I-35 location.
Appreciate your experience to share with us! Thanks for your support!


Delicious chicken Jhol momos! I could drink the sauce they come dowsed in.
Perfect 10/10 balance of spice, flavor, consistency, and freshness. I personally wouldn’t order the chili chicken again 🤷‍♀️ -1 star for the overly sweet and syrupy sauce.
I didn’t love it, but the chicken was still well seasoned and fresh. Portions are a bit small for the price, but I think the momos are justified at their price point because they’re SO good.

Thank you so much for feedback!


Had the best kathi rolls after a long time.
Tried paneer room and chicken gyro.
Good amount of stuffing for the price.
Every dish has a vegetarian option.
Pan fried Momo's were too yummy 🤤.Will visit again to try more indo Chinese options like fried rice and chowmein.

Thank you for support and see you again!
