Snack packs: Best Asian dumplings in Calgary
You know your way around wontons, jiaozi, gyoza and samosas, but have you ever tried a momo? Momo are dumplings commonly found in Nepal, Tibet and parts of India that are often shaped quite similarly to Chinese xiaolongbao, though there are also crescent-shaped momo. At Himalayan, you can choose between chicken, pork or vegetarian momo. The use of various herbs and spices makes these dumplings unique from their East Asian counterparts, as does the spiced tomato sauce used for dipping.

These dishes were born in the Himalayan Mountains and are lightly influenced by the food of China and India. Notably, half the restaurant’s mains are vegetarian dishes.
