Steamed, Fried & Awesome! Here's Where To Find The Best Momos In Hyderabad

The information in this post might be outdated

Momo maniacs, are you on a hunt to find the best momo places in Hyderabad? Luckily for you, we've been around the city chowing down some of the best momos the city has to offer, and here's where you should get your share.

The Himalayan Cafe

The Himalayan Cafe serves, arguably, some of the best momos in Hyderabad. If you love your momos with a bit of flavour, you might take a backflip after popping one. We recommend Mushroom & Cheese Momos and Schezwan Fried Momos, which are served with three types of homemade chutney. This is addictive, we warn you! 

Momos Delight

Momos Delight is a tiny kiosk located on DLF Street. This kiosk is full of surprises and we mean it. Kurkure Momos to Momo Burgers, Momos Delight is awesome for all those momo lovers. You can keep it simple by chowing down their steamed chicken momos or walk into a momo frenzy with a Moburg (A burger with momos as stuffing). If you got a thing for Kurkure, the Kurkure Momos will seal the deal for you. 

Katmandu Momos

Selling off the cart like hot cakes, Katmandu Momos attracts a crowd like no other stall in town. Popular for its steamed as well as fried momos, this stall is located right next to a bus stop in Somajiguda. It’s a simple affair — vegetarian momos (INR 50), paneer momos (INR 60), and chicken momos (INR 60). While we love our momos steamed, you can get them fried at INR 70 if that’s more your thing!

Alex's Kitchen

Alex's Kitchen in Himayathnagar is one of the most iconic restaurants in Hyderabad to serve Indo-Chinese cuisine that we can never get bored of. We usually go back to this restaurant for their delicious Chicken Steam Momos, which literally transports you to the streets of Dharamshala. 

This The Place!

This is a dainty cafe in Madhapur that has a tiny section for momos on its menu. Called as Raju Bhayya Ka Sikkim Momos, you can gorge on not just steamed momos but also chili momos and momos thukpa. The cafe is decked with Tibetian prayer flags and we think it's a perfect place if you are hanging out with a couple of friends. 

Kim Fung

Kim Fung in Tarnaka is yet another iconic restaurant in Secunderabad and Indo-Chinese cuisine lovers from all across the twin cities go here. While they have plenty of dishes like noodles and seafood that will turn you into Kim Fung loyalists, the momos are probably an underrated dish that you'll end up falling for. 

Aama's

Aama's in Lingampally is sort of a hidden gem that is known for its Nepalese food. Quaint, pocket-friendly, and authentic, if you are looking for steamed or fried momos, this can be your go-to haunt. But there are also dishes like Cheese Fried Momos and Jhol Momos that we recommend trying. 

7 Sisters

Over a few years now 7 Sisters has earned a loyal fanbase of foodies who go there for no bullshit Indo-Chinese and Northeast Indian cuisine. The taste can easily beat (even match) high end restaurant and yet their menu is value for money. Speaking purely momos, they have your regular steam momo, fried momo, schezwan fried momo along with Nepali Jhol momo, soup momo and bao buns. Priced at INR 150 and upwards, it's warm, wholesome and comforting. 

Hibacci

HIbacci is another budget friendly restaurant for good momos. When we visited the place, we payed no heed to the Sushi section (what we generally prefer here) only to check their momo selection and nothing else. We were fascinated by Taipo, a bigger, chunkier version of your regular momo and Tingmo a big, flower shaped momo. It's light and fluffy and we bet they follow the authentic Tibetan recipe. 

The Roll & Momos Delicacy

Feeling snacky? Thinking of a hot plate of momos? Try a to-go order at The Roll & Momos Delicacy in Kondapur. For those who loved the fried varient, they have amazingly crunchy Kurkure Momos with veg, paneer and chicken filling. Priced at INR 110, it makes for great munchies, especially when you're throwing a house party. 

Chowman

Known for its crab meat soup with wine, did you know Chowman serves pork momo? It's a must-try if you're craving for momos and don't mind trying new versions of the hit. It's served with a spicy sauce and mayonnaise and if you can handle the spice, you'll 100% ask for another dollop of the sauce. And obviously, they have your usual chicken and veg momo, equally yum and hot! 

Haiku

No Asia food list is complete without Haiku. The chefs there no exactly what they're doing and yup, we testify! This place serves kick ass dim sums and before you think otherwise, technically dim sums are also dumplings like momos, only smaller in size. With that cleared, here's what you should try - Sumai that comes in chicken, shrimp and lamb variants, Edamame and Sweet Corn and Gyoza (nothing but pan fried dumplings). Though a bit expensive comparatively (starting at INR 400), the taste is worth it!
