Large outdoor cultural festival with Tibetan food stalls and prayer flags

Cultural Festival Organizers

You need a food vendor who can serve 300 people without losing authenticity. We arrive with our own steamers, set up in 90 minutes, and keep the line moving without ever touching a microwave.

Tibetan community Losar celebration with traditional food spread and prayer flags

Tibetan Community Leaders

Losar should taste like home. We understand tshog offerings, dietary requirements for monastery events, and the importance of tsampa porridge at dawn. We are community, not vendors.

Official caterer for the Bay Area Losar Celebration since 2022

From the Table

What they remember.

We had 340 guests at our Losar celebration. The momo station ran for four hours without a single complaint about wait time. The food was exactly right — our elders said it tasted like home.

I book lunch for 80 engineers every other Friday. Momo is the only caterer where people actually stop working when the food arrives. The sha balep disappeared in six minutes.

We run a three-day Himalayan arts festival. Momo set up a full kitchen on day one and by day two they were part of the event — staff knew our volunteers by name.
