Nepalese
Handcrafted momos — six styles, all hand-pleated
What Nepalese momos are
Momos are the dumpling that defines Nepalese street food — thin, hand-pleated wrappers around seasoned filling, steamed and served with a chutney that ranges from mild sesame-tomato to seriously hot. They are eaten by hand, dipped, and finished in three bites.
At IndoCave we make wrappers fresh in-house and hand-pleat every momo to order. No frozen, no shortcut.
The six styles on our menu
- Chicken Steamed Momos — the classic. 10 pieces with house chutney.
- Veg Steamed Momos — cabbage, carrot, onion, ginger, garlic.
- Jhol Momos — steamed momos in a warm tomato-sesame broth. More about jhol →
- Chilli Momos — tossed Indo-Chinese style in our chilli sauce. Chicken or veg.
- Schezwan Momos — tossed in our house schezwan paste. Sharp and pungent.
- Pan-Fried Chilli Momos — crisped in the wok before the chilli toss.

FAQ
What is the difference between jhol and steamed momo?
Steamed momos come dry with a spicy chutney. Jhol momos sit in a warm, spiced tomato-sesame broth.

Yes — every momo is hand-pleated to order. Wrappers are made fresh in-house.
Do you have vegetarian momos?
Yes — Veg Steamed, Veg Chilli, Veg Schezwan and Veg Pan-Fried Chilli are all available.
How spicy is the chutney?
Our default chutney is medium-hot. Ask for mild on the side if you want a gentler dip.
