Amar Colony is a refuge colony in Lajpat Nagar 4 and has become very popular among the youngsters primarily because of the vast numbers of PG’s in the area for both boys and girls. This popularity of the area has led to the development of Amar Colony market as a foodie’s hub. One can find a variety of yummy food items in the Amar Colony Market.
Momos, a
tibetan delicacy has become a hot favourite among a wide range of foodies–
young, old middle aged, vegetarian or non-vegetarian, have become a popular
snack for all Delhiites. They are loved as much as the Samosas and
Bread Pakora stalls scattered across the city and what’s even better is that
you can find momo sellers in every nook and corner.
Have a look at my list of the 4 places to
have 4 different kind of Momos in Amar Colony.
Tandoori Momos at Hunger Strike
The first time I heard about Tandoori Momos and Hunger Strike, I knew that I had to visit this
place at the earliest. And I did and it was just so satisfying. A plate of momos fresh out of the tandoor tossed in fresh cream and served with onions and
chutney, I immediately fell in love with this.
A plate of Tandoori Momos costs INR 100-150
Tandoori Momos
Vodka Momos and Afghani Momos at Queens Boulevard
One day while checking my mails in office, I
stumbled across an article on Facebook and read Vodka Momos and I was there trying them in the evening. This is the
only place that sells Vodka Momos in the area. Vodka is mixed in the red spicy
gravy which is poured over the tandoori momos, which gives it a zingy kind of a
taste. You can even tell them to go strong on the Vodka or go light as per your
preference.
Another delicacy served here is the Afghani Momos which are a kind of
paneer tikka only that instead of paneer there are tandoori momos along with
capsicum, tomatoes and onions.
A plate of Vodka Momos costs INR 150-180 and a
plate of Afghani Momos costs INR 120-140.
Fried Momos at Tibet Kitchen
I was introduced to this heaven by a friend who stays
in the area, and am forever grateful to her.The place serves authentic Tibetan
cuisine and the Fried momos here are
the best of the lot.On any evening, this place is usually full and one can find
a plate of Fried Momos on almost every table.The momos are hot and crisp and
there's uniformity in the dough which is the best part.The spicy chutney served
along with this is the best possible accompaniment one could ask for.The spice
balances the whole flavour.
A plate of Fried Momos costs about INR 80-150
Dolma Aunty ke Momos
Any food trail in Amar Colony is incomplete
without the famous Dolma Aunty ke Momos. The momos served here are steamed
momos and they just melt in the mouth, the size of the momo is also quite big
which justified the price.
A plate of momos costs about INR 50-100
Become a Wraveler and keep INR 500 in your pocket
and head out to Amar Colony on any of the evenings and go on a Momo Trail. Amar
Colony Market is 20 min walk from the Moolchand Metro Station and the rickshaw
takes INR 20 till the market.
The taste of momos is more appreciated in the
winters and guess what WINTER IS COMING.
