3. Try Nepal’s beloved steamed dumplings at Eat Momo

By Beatrice Aidin

During a healing heartbreak trek to the Nepalese Himalayas last year, I fell in love with Momo. No, not a (very) lucky chap, but the name of Nepal’s beloved steamed dumplings – and I have been looking for the real deal in London ever since.

Hungry in Borough Yards, I stumbled across a café called Eat Momo and with a hopeful heart, ordered freshly made chicken momo with garam masala and coriander leaves served with pickles and tomato achar, a spicy dip.

And wow – they took me straight back to Momo in the mountains. When I learned that the owners are two Nepalese sisters, who describe Eat Momo as a ‘Nepali canteen’, albeit the chicest canteen I’ve ever seen, it all fell into place. Their father curated the Nepali music playlist and said the ‘canteen’ has been designed with Hindu Vastu Shastra principles, a similar philosophy to feng shui. It also boasts a terrace, perfect for after-work wine and dumplings.

Thrilled with my discovery I returned to try the other varieties, paneer, pork or tofu bursting with joyful vegetables, herbs and spices too (they do fried momo as well). So simply do as the sisters say – Eat Momo. Because Nepalese dumplings make being dumped feel a lot less desperate.
