Steam momo is served dry with achaar on the side. Jhol momo takes the same soft dumplings and pours a thin, flavourful soup over them — usually made from roasted tomato, sesame, ginger, garlic and local spices.

Every bite soaks up the broth. The heat builds slowly. The sesame adds nuttiness. The tomato brings acidity. It is the kind of dish people in Koshi Province order when they want something more filling than a snack but lighter than a full rice meal.

We start with fresh chicken momo — hand-wrapped, steamed to order, never sitting under a heat lamp. The jhol is prepared in our kitchen using a recipe built around tomato-sesame achaar flavours that regulars from Inaruwa, Duhabi and Itahari recognise immediately.

A standard plate of chicken jhol momo is Rs. 180. It is marked as a fan favourite on our menu for good reason: the balance of spice, tang and richness keeps people coming back, especially during monsoon and winter months when a hot bowl is exactly what you need.

Sunsari sits in the heart of the Terai plains of Koshi Province — hot summers, cool winters, and a food culture that blends Nepali, Maithili and Eastern Himalayan influences. Momo arrived here decades ago and never left. Jhol momo evolved as local kitchens adapted Kathmandu-style dumplings with spicier, soupier achar.

Inaruwa, as the district headquarters, draws people from across Sunsari every day — for market shopping, government work, bus connections toward Itahari and Biratnagar, and family visits. A quick plate of jhol momo at a trusted local restaurant is part of daily life for many of them.

College students from around Inaruwa share a plate after classes. Office workers stop in for a fast, hot lunch. Families with children order jhol momo alongside chowmein or taas for a mixed table. Travellers on the Koshi Highway pull off for a proper meal instead of roadside snacks.

If you are vegetarian, ask about our veg steam momo — while our signature jhol is chicken-based, we serve a range of momo options for every preference.
