WOW MOMO — Restaurant in Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation

Wow! Momo has established itself as a go-to destination for momo lovers across India, and for good reason. With a wide variety of dumplings ranging from classic steamed to creative pan-fried and baked options, there’s something for every palate.

The steamed momos are soft, stuffed generously, and come in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian variants. Their pan-fried momos, with crispy exteriors and juicy fillings, are a crowd favorite and pair wonderfully with their signature spicy chutney. I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Cheese momo – the blend of flavors and that gooey cheese inside was delightful.

What really makes Wow! Momo stand out is their innovative menu. Items like Moburg (a momo burger) and momo-filled biryani show creativity and offer a fun twist on traditional favorites. Their chocolate momo is a must-try for anyone craving dessert with a difference.

Service is quick, and most outlets maintain decent hygiene and cheerful staff, making it a convenient place for a quick bite or a casual meet-up with friends. Prices are slightly above local street momos but reasonable for the quality, consistency, and clean environment.

Overall, Wow! Momo delivers on its promise of reinventing and elevating the humble momo. Whether you’re a fan of classic steamed or like experimenting with fusion foods, this chain is definitely...

The founders of Wow! Momo, Sagar Jagdish Daryani and Binod Kumar Homagai, first met each other at St. Xavier's College during their undergrad.[7] With an initial amount of ₹30,000, they started the venture in 2008 at the age of 21. Wow! Momo began as a 6' by 6' kiosk in a Spencer's, which was one of their initial stores (the other one being a kiosk inside a Big Bazaar on rent for 18% of revenue share per month).[8] While Daryani looked after brand expansion, marketing and retail operations, Homagai focused more on production and quality control. They were later joined by another St. Xavier's alumnus and friend Shah Miftaur Rahman, who took the responsibility of cost control and finance.[7]

Wow! Momo, in June 2017, managed to raise ₹44 crore from Lighthouse funds and through investments by Indian Angel Network.[9] A year later, Fabindia's managing director, William Bissell, invested ₹3 crore (US$440,000) in the company, which helped Wow! Momo reach a valuation of ₹300 crore (US$45 million).[10] And in September 2019, after an investment by Tiger Global Management of ₹130 crore (US$23 million), the valuation of the company crossed ₹860 crore (US$120 million), which led to the opening of more outlets in commercial locations like malls and...

During my visit to Wow Momo, I tried their Darjeeling Veg Momo and The Classic Veg Momo. While the taste of both momos was enjoyable and had that distinct flavor associated with the brand, I felt that the pricing was on the higher side.

One of the aspects that left room for improvement was the portion size in relation to the price. The quantity of momos served for the cost I paid was not particularly satisfying. It left me feeling that I didn't get my money's worth in terms of the amount of food provided.

On a positive note, the service at Wow Momo was commendable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured a pleasant dining experience.

In summary, Wow Momo offers tasty momos, but I would suggest reevaluating the pricing and portion size to make it a more value-for-money option for customers. The good service does add to the overall experience, but addressing the price-to-quantity ratio could enhance the dining experience...
