Momo Chilli

If you love momo and you love spice, Chilli Momo is the dish for you. It's one of the most popular momo styles in Nepal, and a Curry Gate specialty that brings a bold, saucy twist to Nepal's favorite dumpling, served with a warm soup on the side.

Momo are Nepal's most beloved food, handmade dumplings enjoyed everywhere from family kitchens to street stalls in Kathmandu. Chilli Momo takes those dumplings and gives them an Indo-Chinese makeover. It's a style that became a street-food hit across Nepal and has fans all over the world.

Choose your filling:

Veggie Chilli Momo: dumplings filled with finely chopped vegetables and spices, a flavorful vegetarian option. Chicken Chilli Momo: dumplings filled with juicy, seasoned minced chicken, the classic favorite.

Every momo at Curry Gate is handmade. The dough is rolled thin, filled and pleated by hand, the traditional way it's done in Nepal. The momo are cooked and then fried until crispy and golden. They're tossed in a hot wok with chunky onions and bell peppers (capsicum), and coated in a glossy, spicy chilli sauce made with garlic, ginger, green chillies, soy sauce and a touch of vinegar. The sauce clings to every dumpling, so each bite has crispy edges, a juicy filling and bold, tangy heat.

Your Chilli Momo comes with a warm soup on the side. It's comforting, flavorful, and a good way to balance the spice between bites.

You control the heat. Choose your spice level from 1 to 10 when you order. Keep it mild at 1–3 for tangy flavor with gentle warmth, go medium at 4–6 for classic chilli momo heat, or turn it up to 7–10 if you love real fire.

Chilli Momo is great as a starter to share or as a satisfying meal on its own. Add a side of our Momo Chutney for extra flavor, and pair it with a cool Mango Lassi or a soda if you go spicy.
