I can have momos at 5 in the morning or 11 in the night ! But, and a BIG BUT, Delhi momos are nowhere close to the real ones you get in the mountains. The ones I had in Sikkim and Nepal - f**king heavenly. The ones in Sikkim are possibly FAR FAR FAR ahead of anything else I have eaten elsewhere.

Only takeaways wont work for joints which used to have big walk in crowd. rents in mumbai are crazy anyways and it goes in lakhs. my friends opened a new restaurant last year and paid around 3.5lakhs + gst ( owner insisted on gst as he is a big corporate and [hide]2g scam accused[/hide]), had a staff strength of 65+ and daily sales around 2 lakhs. now theyre getting 25k sales daily with 15+ staff and takeaway so unless the rental comes down they wont be making any profit. another reason why they cant even think of leaving is because they spent 1.25 cr on the interiors so thats not an option. similar story everywhere, either cut your losses and leave which is only possible if youre not bound contractually or you dont have much to lose. and in some cases owners cant even pay back the deposit back. things are better in the interiors where sales have picked up or even street vendors are their investment was miniscule but in metros things will remain fked for a atleast till next diwali. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delhi momos are more catered to the Delhi tongue. The only trouble with momos in Sikkim was that I was eating at small mom joints and shops, recommended by locals. But you cannot really tell with what meat they're using. But I just turned a blind eye, and devoured plate after plate of momos. Delhiites want mayonnaise, and cheese momos, and tandoori momos, and what not. I was a purist myself, but I'm a believer myself now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar situation all across the globe. Reminds me of Louis Rossman's bike rides and NYT real estate rants. Highly highly recommended.

I am a vegetarian, but I loved the momos there since it is an organic state, and the vegetables just taste so much better. I am sure the same goes for meat. The top 2 momos for me - one at a hotel we stayed in Pelling - Pachu Village Resort, and second, had it at Sikkim's health minister's place (2-3 years back)- they had their own garden, and the whole dinner was sourced from within their compound - BEST f**king MEAL of my life ! I am salivating thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try these if you haven't yet: 1. Noshi - Yum Asian Delivery (Yum Yum Cha). Though not the street side type, the dim-sums and wontons are delish. Specially the philly wonton. Yum. 2. Yeti - The Himalayan Kitchen GK II. As close to the east as you can get in Delhi. The whole menu is great. And hot. Like sweat on your nose, water-y eyes, numb lips hot.

Not every place makes it but the ones that do make it properly , it goes really well with steamed momos. Most places just use the packed mayo which tastes disgusting with momos.

I haven't tried either of those two. Sadly the recs have come in at a time when going out to restaurants is out of the question, but will visit both after this f**king chinese curse ends.

If you have an existing policy buy a top up one from manipal Cigna via the Ola app. You won't find anything in that price range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
