Openings Fomo Momo on First Avenue

Fomo Momo opened several weeks ago at 85 First Ave. between Fifth Street and Sixth Street. (First reported here.)

Owners Ankita Nagpal and Impreet Sodhi, who grew up in Northern India, started selling momos (a type of steamed or fried dumplings) at a pop-up at Smorgasburg after developing and testing their own recipes. Encouraged by the response to their Indian-style street food, they launched a food truck in Jersey City in 2023.

The East Village is home to the pair's first restaurant (there's a location for pick-up and delivery in Jersey City). 

The EV menu includes sandwiches, bowls, and snacks in addition to various momos. Because someone will ask, a restaurant rep told us they offer vegan and vegetarian options, including plant-based chaap nuggets (the soy-based chaap is a popular South Asian meat substitute).

Hours:
Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday: 4-11 p.m.
Friday-Saturday:  4 p.m.-1 a.m.
