McLeod Ganj Himachal Pradesh
Mc Leod Ganj is the largest Tibetan hub in India with about 1,00,000 Tibetan refugees calling it home. The place houses some of the best restaurants for momos in India. Hence it is called the“ little Lhasa”, which is the place where it all began. The best momos are served at Mama’ s kitchen where the owner Mrs Netta radiates warmth to her customers apart from serving the most delicious momos. If you are lucky then you may also find peanut butter and chocolate momos here. McLlo Restaurant is also famous for its killer vegetable and chicken momos.
Darjeeling
One of Darjeeling’ s most popular restaurants, cozy Kunga’ s specializes in Tibetan cuisine. They serve all kinds of momos— both steamed and fried— but the chicken and cheese momos are something special. It’ s not a conventional combination but it’ s surprisingly good. For a hearty meal, order the steamed momos in hot noodle soup.
Only vegetarian food is served at the Hot Stimulating Cafe because, according to the smiling owner, it’ s healthier and easier to digest. Hence, you can expect to find some of the best vegetable momos in India there. Be careful of the chili sauce though, it’ s fiery! Devour the momos with some tumba( millet and wheat beer) while looking out over the valley and town. The cafe, which is not much more than a tin shack, is evocatively perched on the side of a steep hill and surrounded by greenery.
