The popular phrase “will travel for food” is something not everyone follows through on.
zworthy restaurant from husband and wife team Prakash and Pooja Ale Magar felt well worth it, though, as I had heard nothing but raves from colleagues and friends.

Calgary Momo House

Calgarians have been travelling from around the city to try Calgary Momo House’s authentic Nepalese cuisine and signature momos. The Nepali dumplings come in vegetarian, mutton, paneer or chicken options and are a must-try dish here. The menu also features dishes like leg of lamb, Himalayan butter chicken and traditional Nepali thali.

Dumplings are a beloved dish in many cultures around the world. Wrapping more expensive ingredients such as meats, cheeses and vegetables in a simple dough makes them go much further. From wontons and perogies, to potstickers and tortellini, morsels of dough formed around a filling are a universal comfort food. It appears that the first recorded dumplings came out of China’s Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago. To this day, dumplings continue to play an essential culinary role across Asian cultures. Here are a few popular types of Asian dumplings and where to find them in Calgary.
