THE APPETITE MOMOS, MUMBAI

This is my favorite place for momos or dumplings, whatever you want to call it in the city. This does not have a fancy set up, and isn't some fin-dine either. It just a small take out place that is located in Thane. The main attraction is that they come cheap, really really cheap and serves the need for after office/college snacks for public of Thane. Me among those. This place was introduced to me by my colleagues almost 8 months back and there has been no stopping me since then. Since it is so closely located near the station, it tends to get crowded, because where else will you find some yummy dumplings at such prices? The answer is almost no where. 

Even though the place is more or less a take-away or stand and eat, it attracts crowd like honey attracts bees and you will be lucky if you get to the front of the crowd to place your order and after that a place to stand and eat. All the momos are served piping hot. So be ready to get your tongues burnt, but then what are momos if they are not served hot. They lose flavor otherwise I believe. One end of the wall has a comic strip telling you of the story of how Appetite came into existence. I have never been able to actually read it, well, again, too many people surrounding the entire place to get a look even. Some Lucky Day, I will. I love stories you see.

The place serves both steamed and fried variants. The menu is made up of the simple classic versions and adding some twists by Indianizing the momos with the likes of Paneer & Chicken Achari. They also have Cheese variants, which without a doubt is my favorite. - Koi doubt mat rakhna! (Ref: Geet, Jab We Met). That strong feelings for the cheese one! :D However, even though I like them all, I prefer the Steamed Ones more as compared to the Fried ones. Only the cheese one,always, always , always have it fried! The cheese melts in such a spectacular way then and the cheese bursts in your mouth, which is how cheese is supposed to be. Half plate consists of 4 pieces which is ample for 1 person as a in-between heavy snack. Yes, they tend to be heavy as well. Atleast, I find so. If your appetite is bigger, then a light snack.

The momos are priced between 50 - 70 Rs per plate depending on what you order. Told ya its Cheap! 65 rs for 8 pieces of chili cheese fried momos. What else do you want????!!!!
