Best Momos in Kochi at Shifu Momos Panampilly Nagar

Steamed, Fried, Schezwan, Manchurian, Afghani and even Cheese Baked” veg and chicken momos that taste out of world 😋, washed down with bubble ice tea and the nostalgic softy ice cream – all this is in a small shop overlooking a beautiful park 😍 in the posh residential-commercial neighbourhood of Panampilly nagar in Kochi.

As with most momos shops, Shifu Momos started in 2012 as a small roadside cart that has now grown into a bustling full-spec takeaway restaurant.

While most make good chicken momos, Shifu Momos have aced them both (veg and chicken momos) 💯.

Must Eat:

  • Crispy/Fried Momos: lip smacking fried delight 😋
  • Schezwan Momos: steamed momos are fried and then cooked in spicy schezwan sauce – my favourite ❤️
  • Afghani Momos: latest addition to their menu, fried momos cooked in a non-spicy, creamy white sauce
  • Cheese Baked Momos: momos stuffed with melted cheese 
  • Momos Platter: if you are a 1st timer, go with Shifu’s Momos Platter that contains 3 different types of momos (4 pieces of each flavour)
  • Bubble Ice Tea: Very tasty, loaded with sugar and bobas 
  • Softy Ice-cream: Soft ice-cream on a cone – choose between vanilla, chocolate, mix (half vanilla + half chocolate)
