The Journey of MOMO MONK
From one steamer to a Kerala institution
Seven years, one obsession, and a fold we still do by hand.
-
2019
One steamer, one street corner
Ram and Anju start with a single bamboo steamer outside a Kakkanad college gate. 40 plates on day one, 400 by the end of the month.
-
2020
The lockout that became a kitchen
When the streets emptied, the recipes went out instead. Frozen momos, hand-folded at home, delivered across Kochi — and a chutney that people still ask for.
-
2021
Kerala enters the filling
Pearl spot from the backwaters, coconut, curry leaf, Malabar pepper. The monk stops copying a cuisine and starts speaking in his own accent.
-
2023
Panampilly Nagar opens
Twelve seats, an open kitchen and a tandoor you can watch from the counter. The queue starts at 7pm and nobody seems to mind.
-
2026
24 varieties, one obsession
Over 1.2 lakh momos folded by hand. Same flour, same fold, same seven minutes. Only the filling ever changes.
Why the monk
Four things we refuse to compromise
Folded by hand, every morning
Our chefs fold between 900 and 1,400 momos a day. No machines, no frozen stock — the wrapper is rolled the same morning it is steamed.
01Kerala in every filling
Coconut, curry leaf, shallot, Malabar pepper, backwater karimeen. We cook momos the way Kerala eats — coastal, peppery, unapologetic.
02Seven minutes, bamboo steam
Bamboo steamers, timed to seven minutes, served the second they lift. That is why the wrapper stays translucent and never goes doughy.
03Packed to travel hot
Vented insulated boxes, chutney sealed separately, steam hole on top. Your momos arrive the way they left the steamer.

What Kerala says
4.8 stars across 1,200+ reviews on Google.
★★★★★
I have eaten momos in Delhi and Darjeeling. The karimeen one here is something else entirely — coconut and curry leaf inside a dumpling sounds wrong until you taste it. Genuinely the best momo shop in Kerala for me.
★★★★★
Came for the crunch, stayed for the fire chutney. I now order it by the bottle. Place is tiny, so reach before 7 or be prepared to wait — worth it.
★★★★★
Ordered through Swiggy twice in one week. Arrived hot, steamer-fresh, packaging is genuinely lovely. The malai momos are dangerously soft.
★★★★★
The beef momo is the real Malabar deal — slow-cooked, peppery, with that coconut finish. Tandoori version is my second order every single time.
★★★★★
Took my parents here on a rainy evening. The thukpa is comfort in a bowl, and they let us sit by the open kitchen watching them fold. Felt like family.
★★★★☆
Smoky, charred, properly spiced. Only gripe: they run out of the karimeen momos by 9pm, so go early. The tandoori plate is a solid backup.
