Yalla Momos

These guys do dimsums (dumplings or Momos) like no one does in the UAE. Not a very large outlet, with enough room for 4-5 coffee tables, yet cozy and funky located behind Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel in Bur Dubai. Commenced steaming in October 2012, they are UAE's first ever, dedicated Momo joint.

Momo is a type of dumpling native to Nepal, Tibet, the bordering regions of Bhutan, and the Himalayan states of India. (Wiki)

After savouring a portion of Chicken Momo ordered in for lunch by some of the colleagues, I could not wait to drag my partner to the outlet in the evening to have more.

It is best to park at the parking lot near Park Regis where there's ample parking and walk across to the road at the back of the property. One can choose from a variety of Momos from Vegetable, Cottage Cheese, Spinach, Mushroom and a combination of the mentioned along with Shrimp, Buffalo and Chicken for the strictly non-vegetarian. Every plate has 6 Momos and is reasonably priced between AED 10-14. In addition to their signature dish 'Momo' they also serve, French Fries, Corn Cob and Masala Maggi Noodles and a variety of beverages from Shakes, Masala Tea, Saffron Tea to Coffee.

The restaurant was empty when we entered but got crowded beyond capacity within a few minutes, with customers streaming in for a quick bite, but mostly to take away.

We ordered a plate of Cottage Cheese & Mushroom Momos and a plate of  Chicken Momos along with two cups of coffee, which was delivered to the table within 10 minutes. The Momos were warm, moist and soft enough to melt in the mouth. One must savour them with the two kinds of sauces placed on every table, but go easy on the sauces if you are not a fan of having your world spiced up. The coffee was served in unusually small paper cups, which turned out to be ideal to wash down the spicy delicacy.

We walked out the restaurant smacking our lips and making up our mind to frequent the venue.
