Aama Lama

Aama Lama on Main Street in Malden serves Nepali food, with enough ways to order momo to make the first decision difficult. The dumplings come steamed, fried, in broth as jhol momo, or tossed with peppers and onions in chili sauce. Beyond dumplings, there is thukpa, a pork noodle soup, and thali platters that bring together lentils, curry, rice and pickles. Start with wai wai sadeko, a crunchy noodle salad, or share chickpea-battered vegetable pakodas. Vegetarian mains include chana masala and matar paneer. Mango lassi is on the drinks list, and online ordering makes it possible to take dinner home when that is the plan.
