Himalayan Dumplings, Denver Style

Spice Level:
Vegetarian

Last updated:

SPICE ROOM's Momos are hand-folded Himalayan dumplings with chicken, lamb, or vegetable filling, served steamed or pan-fried with house-made chili chutney. A Himalayan specialty unavailable at most Denver Indian restaurants. Halal.

About This Dish

Momos are beloved dumplings from the Himalayan regions that have become a street food sensation across India. At SPICE ROOM, we honor this tradition with handcrafted momos made fresh daily.

Each momo is carefully filled with your choice of spiced vegetables, chicken, or lamb, then pleated by hand in the traditional style. We steam them to perfection, preserving the juicy filling inside delicate dough.

Our house-made tomato-chili chutney adds the perfect kick – it's fiery, tangy, and absolutely addictive. Whether you prefer them steamed classic-style or pan-fried for extra crunch, our momos transport you straight to the foothills of the Himalayas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Momos?

Momos are Himalayan dumplings originating from the Himalayan mountain region. They feature delicate dough wrapped around spiced fillings, then steamed or pan-fried. They're served with a spicy tomato-chili chutney.

Are vegetarian Momos available?

Yes! We offer delicious vegetable momos filled with cabbage, carrots, onions, and aromatic spices. They're just as flavorful as our meat options.

What's the difference between steamed and pan-fried Momos?

Steamed momos are soft and delicate with juicy fillings. Pan-fried (also called "C-momos") have crispy bottoms while staying soft on top – best of both textures!

How spicy is the Momo chutney?

Our house chutney is fairly spicy (3-4/5). If you prefer milder, ask for it on the side or request our mild version.

Can I order momos for delivery in Denver?

Absolutely! All three SPICE ROOM locations offer momos delivery. Order directly at order.denverspiceroom.com for the best prices — save up to 15% compared to third-party apps.

Do you have momos in Arvada?

Yes! Our Old Town Arvada location at 7355 Ralston Rd serves the full momos menu — steamed, pan-fried, and jhol momos. We're the only Himalayan momo restaurant in the Arvada area.
