Deep Fried Chicken Momo
House-made dumplings, golden-fried and impossibly crispy
House-made dumplings, deep fried golden and crispy, with spicy dipping sauce
Momos are the soul of Himalayan street food, and our Deep Fried Chicken Momo is where comfort meets crunch. We hand-fold each dumpling fresh daily, filling thin wrappers with a seasoned mix of ground chicken, ginger, garlic, spring onion, and warming spices. After a quick steam to set the filling, they are plunged into hot oil until the skin blisters and crisps into a shatteringly golden shell. Served with our house-made tomato-sesame johl dipping sauce — a fiery, aromatic condiment that ties the whole dish together.

How We Make It
Hand-Folded Fresh Daily
Every momo is folded by hand each morning. We do not use frozen dumplings — freshness is non-negotiable.
Steam-Then-Fry Method
Momos are steamed first to fully cook the filling, then fried at high heat for a blistered, crispy skin with a juicy interior.
House-Made Johl Sauce
Our tomato-sesame johl is ground fresh — roasted tomatoes, sesame seeds, dried chillies, and spices blended into a deeply flavourful dipping sauce.
