Momo Masala

Momo Masala on Perkins Street gives dumpling fans several versions to compare. The Nepali and Indian restaurant serves momos steamed, fried, tossed in chili sauce or served in jhol, a spicy soup. Chicken and vegetable fillings are available, with tandoori and other preparations extending the choices well beyond one basket of dumplings.

The rest of the menu includes curries, biryani, chow mein and breads. Vegetarian and vegan sections make it easier to find dishes built around vegetables, legumes or paneer, while chicken, goat, lamb and seafood have their own selections. Start with momos if that’s what brought you here, then add a curry or noodles to share. It’s a Jamaica Plain option for both a focused dumpling order and a larger dinner.
