Himalayan Cuisine FAQ
Does SPICE ROOM serve Himalayan food in Denver?

What are momos and where can I get them in Denver?
Momos are traditional Himalayan dumplings originating from the Himalayan region. They're filled with spiced meat or vegetables, then steamed, fried, or served in soup. SPICE ROOM serves all three styles at our 3 Denver locations — we're widely regarded as having the best momos in Denver.
