If you are searching for authentic Nepali food in Oslo, there’s one dish you absolutely have to try ie; momos. At Royal Tandoori, located in Pilestredet 63D, 0350 Oslo, we serve freshly made, flavorful momos every day.
Whether you’re already a momo lover or you’re trying them for the first time, this guide will help you learn all about these amazing dumplings; what they are, where they come from, what makes them so special, and why Royal Tandoori serves the best momos in Oslo.
What Are Momos?
Momos are soft dumplings filled with delicious ingredients like vegetables or chicken. They are wrapped in thin dough and either steamed, fried, or served in a spicy soup. Momos are one of the most popular foods in Nepal, and they are also loved in India, Tibet, and Bhutan.
Momos are not just food , they are part of everyday life in Nepal. People eat them as a snack, for lunch, or dinner. They’re quick to make, fun to eat, and full of flavor.
Where Do Momos Come From?
Momos originally came from Tibet, but over time, they became a big part of Nepali cuisine. In Nepal, momos are made with more spices and herbs, giving them a unique and bold flavor. Every region in Nepal has its own version, but one thing is always the same: everyone loves momos.
Now, you don’t have to fly to Kathmandu to enjoy them. You can get the same authentic taste right here in Oslo at Royal Tandoori which is one of the best Nepalese restaurants in Oslo.

Different Types of Momos at Royal Tandoori
We serve three popular styles of momos at Royal Tandoori, each one offering a different flavor and experience.
1. Steam Momo (Veg/Chicken)
This is the most traditional way to eat momos.
Steam Momo
- The dumplings are gently steamed, so they stay soft and juicy.
- They are served with a spicy tomato dipping sauce, also called “achar”.
- The taste is light but full of flavor.
Steam momos are perfect if you want something healthy, tasty, and simple. They’re also a great choice if you’re trying momos for the first time.
2. Chilli Momo (Veg/Chicken)
Love spicy food? Then Chilli Momos are for you!
Chilli Momo
- We first steam or lightly fry the momos.
- Then, we toss them in a hot and tangy chili sauce made with onions, tomatoes, soy sauce, garlic, and green chilies.
- The result? Crispy edges, spicy sauce, and a flavor explosion.
This is one of our most popular dishes. Chilli momos are bold, fiery, and unforgettable.

Jhol Momo is one of Nepal’s most loved comfort foods.
Jhol Momo
- We serve steamed momos in a warm, spicy soup or gravy called “jhol”.
