Eat Momo

Eat Momo is Borough Market’s introduction to the Nepalese steamed dumpling momo which are served ‘canteen-style’ at this new Borough eatery run by the sister duo of Trishna and Dipa Chamling.

Situated in one of the railway arches that surround Borough Market, the space includes an open kitchen, riverside terrace as well as a grab and go hatch. This makes this spot both an ideal sit-down option during a day out at Borough Market and a convenient choice if you are in a hurry. Diners are invited to enjoy their momo in a calming atmosphere designed with Hindu principles of wellbeing in mind. Sitting on minimalistic and simply designed wood stools guests will be able to watch their momo being made. The design of this space reflects the sisters’ intention with the opening of Eat Momo of sharing the comfort and care that momo-making gave the pair in their childhood. This personal touch is further enhanced by the Nepalese folk music selected by the pair’s father which acts as a charming and atmospheric backdrop to the food.

Eat Momo’s menu is singular in its focus with chicken, pork, and beef dumplings flavored with coriander and spices and vegetable dumplings with a ginger kick. Each dish is accompanied by a tomato chutney dipping sauce and spicy chili pickle. The pared-back nature of the menu reflects the sisters’ no-faff approach to their food, which they emphasize is intrinsic to the genius of this dish. In this way Eat Momo is unique as here the dumplings are far from being a side dish but are instead the main attraction.

Presenting Nepalese cuisine in an accessible and convenient format Eat Momo Borough caters to both the lounging luncher and the busy office workers and is great addition of calming respite to hustle and bustle of Borough Market.
