Steamed Momo in Brisbane

Steamed momo is where everyone starts, and where a lot of us stay. A thin wheat wrapper pleated around spiced buff, chicken, veg or paneer, set over a steamer until the skin turns silky and the filling runs hot with juice. No crisp, no sauce to hide behind, just the truest taste of what a kitchen can do.

It is the honest test of a momo house. Get a plate, dunk each one in the tomato achaar, and eat it in a bite or two before the juice escapes. If the steamed momo is good here, everything else will be too.

We have mapped 22 spots for steamed momo in Queensland, with the most around Surfers Paradise, Maroochydore and Forest Lake.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between steamed and fried momo?

Steamed keeps the skin soft and the filling juicy, the purest version. Fried crisps the base. Most people order both.

What do you dip momo in?

Achaar, a tomato and chilli relish served on the side. It does most of the flavour work, so do not skip it.
