 "Darjeeling's Momo: A Flavorful Journey from the Hills"



For us who grew up in the hills, momo isn't just food it's an emotion. From spicy jhol momo to Crispy fried momo, every bite carries a story, a memory, a moment. If there is one food that truly captures the heart and soul of the hills, it's momo! Whether it's a chilly morning in Darjeeling or a peaceful evening in Mirik , the craving  for a hot plate of steamed momo never fades. 

Why Momo is Special in Darjeeling

Momo is more than just food for the people of Darjeeling—it's an emotion in the hills! The spicy chutney, the warm filling, and the joy of sharing it with friends or family make it truly special.


Types of Momo You Must Try:


  • Steamed Momo: Soft and juicy, served with spicy red chutney.


  • Fried Momo: Crispy outside, soft inside—perfect for those who like a crunch!


  • Jhol Momo: Served in a hot, soupy chutney. A must-try during cold weather. 


Apart from steamed, fried, and jhol momo, there are two more tasty versions you should not miss — juicy momo and chilli momo! Juicy momo is filled with flavorful broth inside, so when you take a bite, the warm juice bursts in your mouth — it's a heavenly experience! On the other hand, chilli momo is perfect for spice lovers — tossed in a spicy tangy sauce with capsicum and onions, giving it a desi Chinese twist!
