Mumbai isn’t known for its momos, like Delhi isn’t for its vada pav. But there's a momowala in Andheri will break all your notions of this statement, one dumpling at a time. In the area of 7 Bungalows around Andheri, you will find a man named Suraj Lama. He was a chauffeur for the celebrities Abhay Deol and Sonakshi Sinha, and that is the least interesting thing about him.
Instead of charting celebrities to and fro, he now wheels a brimming cart of unexpectedly delicious momos every evening. He and his wife make North Eastern style momos fresh each day and roam in this popular area of Andheri, satisfying everyone’s evening snack cravings with these flavour-packed steamed dumplings. There are no frou and fancies- simple vegetarian and chicken momos sold by full plate or half. The vegetarian momos are just absolutely lip-smacking, some of the best we have tasted (and we have tasted plenty), and he hits the nail with the chutney as well. The chicken momos are equally heavenly. And if you want an ultimate trip to heaven then have their chicken cheese momos or the veg cheese fry momos.
A plate of eight veg momos is for INR 90 and a chicken plate is for INR 100, which we think is quite reasonable, considering how satisfied we are, every time we stuff ourselves with the momos. So, are we being brazen enough to suggest that you should take a trip to Andheri just to try these momos? Do we dare? Yes, yes we do. Also, his cart keeps moving, so while you’re at it, don’t get lost, just give him a call on 9082668471 to get his precise location. He’ll be happy to feed you.
