“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:

• Classic Momos: steamed momos made to perfection 💯
• 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) 

Useful Information:

• Momos Chutney: All momos are served with lip-smacking spicy red momos chutney and thick, delicious white mayo – feel free to ask for a refill 😊
