Yummy Momo

1439 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6R 1A1

If you think that Indian cuisine has already fused with all the other cultures out there, you would be almost right. Om offers Indian and Tibetan fusion with all the beauty and flavour of each culture. Have a gyuma appetizer before your butter chicken and finish off with their famous jasha momo (a steamed chicken dumpling). It’s also worth noting that this restaurant was the winner of the 2013 Reader’s Choice Award in The Parkdale Villager.
