    Order the steamed chicken momos with the fiery red chutney and skip the tandoori, which regulars rate poorly. It is a standing pavement counter, cash is easier, and queues are long after seven.

    Kothey momos come crisped on one side and steamed on the other, and the jhol is the other reason people wait. Seating is tiny and the queue runs past an hour, so arrive before the 1pm opening.

    Where
    V-10 and V-16, Yashwant Place Commercial Complex, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110021

    Fish or mutton steamed momos are the point, and the chilli garlic prawn if it is running, but the sizzlers the name promises are not. The complex is crowded after dark, so go early and expect basic seating.

  10. Giri Momos Centre

    ND Market, Pitampura North Delhi

    Open
    Evenings only, about 5pm to 10.30pm
    Where
    Shop No. 26, ND Market, near TV Tower, Pitampura, New Delhi 110034

    Chicken afghani momos and the fried mozzarella are what the counter does well, so ignore the soya chaap and most of the sixty-odd novelty fillings. Reviewers flag hygiene, and it opens only in the evening.

    Take the fried mutton momos at stall six with the clear soup, and skip the plain chicken plates elsewhere in the haat. Dilli Haat charges entry, and the wait runs long at weekends.

    Pork momos are the order, with the smoked pork version worth adding, and the noodles are not. Seating is limited inside Gallon Plaza, so a takeaway beats queuing at dinner.
