Yalla Momos

this funky little place in Karama is the first ever momos joint in the UAE. fell in love with momos in our visit to nepal, so you can imagine my excitement finding out i can have them in dubai.



we stepped in and were instantly impressed by the hip vibe the place have. that, and how clean the place was. their menu was basic. which i like, keeping it simple. they also have noodle soups that we're saving for next time. for now, we decided to have what we came here for. we ordered both chicken and shrimp momos, and both fried and steamed. of course, kadak chai.




Momos are basically dumplings, originated in Nepal, and largely popular in India as well. the filling can either be any meat (chicken, goat, shrimp, buffalo, pork), or vegetarian, or cheese. since we're in dubai, don't expect the pork. you can have your momos steamed or fried.




their momos come with the chili sauce. the medium spicy and the spiciest one. it works well with the momos.

my fiance and i were smiling in delight, stuffing ourselves with these tasty dumplings. the nepalese cooks did a great job bringing nepal to dubai. we enjoyed it too much we ordered another one of the fried chicken momos. this one's our favorite. not as healthy as the steamed ones, but what the heck. it's good.

we're happy to find this piece of momo heaven in Karama, just behind Park Regis hotel, opposite Bikanerwala. Yalla Momos, my dumpling fix in dubai.
