Winter is here and with it are our cravings for winter food. There's something about warm food that makes us reach out for this steamy goodness, be it bowls of noodles, soup, or momos. Momos are the ultimate comfort food and if you stick to the steamed ones, they can truly be a wholesome meal. The versatile dish can serve as an appetizer or be washed down with a soup; it can be a tea-time snack or the main course. For all momo lovers, we have picked out 6 places to get the best momos in Mumbai to fix your winter cravings:
Juicy affair
Open for dine-in as well as delivery, the Yeti Himalayan Kitchen, serves as an array of mouth-watering Nepalese, Bhutanese, and Tibetan dishes.
