While walking along Central Avenue today to grab food from another restaurant, a sign for Momos caught my eye. As a momo enthusiast who usually treks to Jackson Heights for my fix, I couldn't resist trying Fomo Momo—so I decided to get more food. I opted for the assorted platter for $23, which allowed me to choose three different types of momos. I went with the vegetarian Schezwan, Afghani, and Achari momos, receiving four of each. They were absolutely delicious!
The variety of flavors offered at Fomo Momo is impressive. Each type of momo had its unique taste and perfectly balanced spices. The Schezwan momos had a delightful kick, the Afghani momos were rich and savory, and the Achari momos had a tangy, pickled zest that was truly unique. As a vegetarian, I appreciate the diverse options available and am particularly excited to try their Soy Chaap next time—something I rarely find in Indian restaurants.
For those planning to visit, a quick note: you'll pick up your order inside the liquor store. Orders can be placed by phone (and I think online—I may be wrong), and my wait time was around 25 minutes. Overall, the momos were flavorful, fresh, and thoroughly enjoyable. I’m thrilled to have found such a gem in Jersey City and look forward to returning soon. I’d give Fomo Momo a solid 4.5...

Each variation they offer is a culinary adventure, and you can't go wrong with any choice. The "Sexy Schezwan" packs a spicy punch, while the others are more moderately spiced. Personally, the "Amazing Afghani" is my top pick, but the "Tempting Tandoori" is also a strong contender. I haven't tried the "Manchurian" yet, but I'm confident it would live up to the high standard set by the others.
What sets these momos apart is not just the flavor but also the preparation and presentation. Even when served from a truck, the food looks great, and the taste is consistently outstanding. They clearly have a secret sauce that keeps everything deliciously unique.
If you're planning to visit their store location, be aware that it’s tucked inside a Deli/grocery store and only opens after 3 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. My only suggestion for the owners? Please start serving in the...
