Bahubali momo
Eat like Bahubali
Fancy some experimentation? Messy Adda in Matunga East whips up some wacky versions of momos, the most popular being their Bahubali momo that weighs around two kg, and is prepared with a stuffing of paneer, mozzarella, processed cheese, red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, corn and other vegetables. These are infused with spices and smoked on coal. There’s more — the momo is topped with 24-karat gold leaves, and served along with mojitos, chutneys and other items. Shilpa and Samir Shinde who run the café tell us that the Bahubali momo was introduced three to four months ago. “We also have a momo thali that has five to six varieties such as cheese chilli butter garlic, chocolate, pink momos and veg momos, and paneer peri peri, among others,” Samir says, adding that they also offer regular, single servings of the dumplings.

Colaba’s sentimental favourite
With a decades-old legacy of introducing Mumbai to authentic Cantonese fare, Ling’s Pavilion enjoys a loyal fan-following. And a trip to this iconic restaurant is incomplete without a helping of their wontons and dumplings. “We offer prawn, pork, chicken and vegetarian wontons and dumplings, and sui mais. People dig these as starters or if somebody is dropping by for a light meal; local Chinese folks who miss home always like to order momos,” shares Baba Ling, one of the owners of the restaurant.
