Momo Central - Melbourne

What an ingenious Nepalese restaurant. had the vegan momo and simple bara lentil pancakes, eating was delicious, great service, perfect for lunch or dinner. would give me 5 stars if the app would leave me

I went to get a delicious vegan bubble coffee from Industry Beans on my lunch break and as soon as I turned into Little Collins from Elizabeth, the tantalising smell of spiced potatoes met my nostrils. I looked up and saw the sign: Momo Central. I tried their vegan chilli momo that are made fresh, fried crispy, then drowned in a slightly sweet, rich, tangy chilli sauce with chunks of onion and capsicum. The momo skin retained its crunch while the mildly spiced potato and cabbage inside was nice and tender. Some of the best momos I’ve had and I’ve tried many! I love their salty, crunchy, spicy bhatmas saadeko fried soybeans on the side as well. Can see it becoming a lunchtime favourite.

We had the steamed momos, chilli chips and thukpa and it was absolutely delicious!

We had the vegan fried momos and the vegan chow mein. The momos were so good with the accompanied sauce (spicy but delicious)! The chow mein had us shook, those noodles were AMAZING!! Some of the tastiest noodles I’ve ever had! (We chose both meals to be spicy as we enjoy spice).

We ate the momos and plain bara (lentil pancake), they were ok but both were super oily. Was expecting fried momos to be crispy on the bottom (like pot stickers), but they were deep fried. Momos were essentially cabbage not like other traditional momos I have had from other vendors.
