What Nepal actually does to a momo once it comes out of the steamer. Jhol means broth — the dumplings arrive sitting in a warm, nutty sesame-tomato gravy you drink once they are gone, and it is the single most-ordered thing on any Kathmandu momo menu. Chili momo is fried then wok-tossed Indo-Chinese style; chatpate is tossed cold and tangy with peanut and lime; jhaneko is finished with sizzling mustard oil poured over at the last second.
Cooked to order at 6400 Derry St. Open Tuesday–Sunday, 11 AM–9 PM. Order below for pickup, or delivery within 5 miles.

Pork momos in the same sesame-tomato jhol — savoury and a touch sweeter than the chicken.

All of the jhol, with the vegetable dumplings. Light, refreshing, quietly addictive.

Fried chicken momos wok-tossed Indo-Chinese style with onion, capsicum, garlic and a glossy chili-soy glaze. Sweet, salty, smoky, hot.

Pan-fried pork momos in the chili sauce. Richer than the chicken — pork carries the heat differently.

Fried momos tossed chatpate-style with peanut, sev, sliced onion, cilantro, lemon and tamarind. Tangy, crunchy, snacky.

Momos wok-tossed with onion, garlic, tomato and cumin, then finished with jhane — sizzled mustard oil poured over at the last second. Aromatic rather than hot.
