About Momos at the Market

Momos at the Market is a restaurant located on King Street in the Old East Village neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The establishment serves authentic Nepalese cuisine to the local community, focusing on fresh, home-style dishes made with natural and healthy ingredients. The restaurant specializes in hand-made momos, which are meat or vegetable filled dumplings originally from Nepal and Tibet. These dumplings are crafted using local flour-based casings and are filled with chicken, pork, or vegetable mixes. They are served either steamed or pan-fried and accompanied by a signature tomato, coriander, and garlic sauce. The menu also features Sukuti, a traditional dried meat product from the Himalayan regions of Nepal typically made from buffalo, lamb, or goat meat. The business is owned and operated by Chef Yam Gurung, who was born and raised in Nepal. With over 20 years of experience cooking Nepalese, Western, and international foods, Yam aims to provide healthy and tasty meals to his patrons. The restaurant draws inspiration from the colorful Buddhist prayer flags of Nepal, which symbolize fire, earth, sun, and water. The owners express a desire to spread blessings through their food, similar to how the wind is said to carry blessings across the land when blowing through the traditional flags.
