If you’d asked us in February about who we thought might win our dumpling-themed food bracket challenge this year, I guarantee we wouldn’t have thought of a momo spot. While this style of dumplings, which are typically served at Indian and Nepalese-style restaurants, is popular, we simply didn’t realize how popular.
Now we do. Five weeks of (bot-free) reader voting knocked out 30 dumpling restaurants — from Michelin-recommended hot spots to old classics to more modern heavy hitters — leaving just two remaining.
We now have our champion.
, at 14200 E. Alameda Ave. in Aurora, stands at the top. The restaurant specializes in Nepalese-style dumplings, with flavors that include tomato-based, spice-infused tikka masala momos; creamy curry korma momos; and simple steamed momos, seasoned with fresh herbs and served with dipping sauce.
The business beat out its competitor, Rocky Mountain Momo in Englewood.
We’ll have more on Momo Dumplings in the next few weeks, but until then, thanks for voting.
