Baltimore's Nepali food scene runs deeper than most people expect. There's a Federal Hill fixture serving since 2006, a brand-new sekuwa house that just celebrated its grand opening, a street-food specialist hand-folding momos, and even a Nepali-Indian stall inside Lexington Market. Here are seven spots worth trying — all freshly listed on MeetNepali.
