Momos, and what to do with the dips

The chicken and paneer range with current prices — plus the practical stuff about ordering them for a group or carrying them home.

Both branches · Open 10 AM – 9 PM, all days · Menu from ₹49

The most forgiving thing on our menu

Momos are unusual here in that they survive contact with the real world. Pizza has to be eaten reasonably soon; loaded fries have to be eaten immediately. Momos are perfectly good twenty minutes later, they need no cutlery, and they pack tightly without turning into a single mass.

That makes them the default order for three situations we see constantly: something to pick at across a long table, something to carry onto a train at Katpadi, and something to add to a bulk order that has to travel.

They are steamed to order like everything else, so they arrive hot rather than having been held.

Ordering them well

As a starter for the table

One plate between two or three people while the mains are still cooking. It is what most groups do.

As the travelling item

If part of your order is going home and part is being eaten here, make the momos the part that travels.

For a mixed group

The paneer version means a vegetarian is eating the same dish as everyone else rather than a substitute.

In bulk

They scale better than most things and hold up over a long event. Give us a day’s notice for quantity.

Questions we get asked

Do you have veg momos?

Yes — paneer momos, listed above with the chicken ones and marked veg. Current prices come straight from our kitchen’s menu, so what you see is what you pay.

Are your momos steamed or fried?

Steamed, and made when you order rather than held. The list above shows the full current range with prices — if we add a variation, it appears there rather than in a sentence that might be out of date.

Do momos travel well for takeaway?

Better than almost anything else we make. They need no cutlery, they pack tightly and they are still good twenty minutes later, which makes them the right choice for a train, a hostel or an office run.

How many momos should I order?

One plate between two or three works as a starter alongside mains. For a party or a bulk order, tell us the headcount when you call and we will suggest quantities rather than have you guess.
