Momos came to Pune through students, Tibetan families and north-east Indian kitchens, and the city made them its own. Today you can eat six steamed pieces for Rs.44 outside a college gate, or sit down to Newari momos and pork kothey momos in Kalyani Nagar. Here are 100 momo places worth knowing, area by area across the whole city.
FAQs
Which is the most famous momo place in Pune?
Peter Momos Center in Bavdhan is the name that comes up most often. It keeps a tiny menu of steamed and fried momos with a red chutney, runs only in the evening, and sells out fast. It is cash only and takes no bookings.
Where can I get jhol momo or Newari momo in Pune?
Momo Bae in Balewadi serves jhol momo, where the momos sit in a spiced soup instead of next to a chutney, and also makes shafale, a Tibetan fried bread. Yeti The Himalayan Kitchen in Kalyani Nagar is the place for Newari momos and pork kothey momos. Sevensisters Momo in Viman Nagar also does chicken jhol momos.
What are the cheapest momos in Pune?
Dj Momos in Koregaon Park sells six veg steamed momos for Rs.44 and chicken for Rs.50. Baba G Momos in Warje works out to about Rs.150 for two, and Hot Darjeeling Momos in Viman Nagar starts at Rs.50 for six veg steamed.
Which momo places in Pune are open late at night?
Aroma Chinese House in Kalyani Nagar runs till 4 in the morning. Wow Momo in Kothrud stays open till 3 AM, The Momo Co in Kharadi till 2 AM, and Mad Momos in Tingre Nagar runs from 8 AM to 2 AM.
What is the difference between steamed, fried, kurkure and tandoori momos?
Steamed is the original, soft and plain, served with chutney. Fried is deep fried so the skin crisps up. Kurkure momos are coated in a crumb before frying, so the crunch is heavier. Tandoori momos are steamed first and then finished in a tandoor, usually with a marinade, which is why they taste smoky.
Which momo chains have the most outlets in Pune?
Mad Momos has eight outlets on this page, Wow Momo seven, The Momo Panda and Crazy Momos six each, and Zomoz four. Every branch is listed separately here with its own area and address, because quality is not the same at every one.
Where do I find vegetarian only momos in Pune?
Red Panda Chinese in Model Colony is fully vegetarian. Crazy Momos in Bavdhan leans vegetarian, and Hot Darjeeling Momos in Viman Nagar shows an all veg menu at that outlet. Most other places on this list serve both.
Conclusion
If you are trying momos in Pune for the first time, start with Peter Momos Center in Bavdhan or Momos Corrner in Koregaon Park, because both have been running long enough to have settled into one thing and done it well. After that pick by what you want, jhol momo in Balewadi, Newari momo in Kalyani Nagar, kurkure at any Crazy Momos, or a Rs.44 plate outside a college gate.
