"A tiny food stall inside the larger international market run by Phuntso Lama, a Nepali-born Tibetan cook, that became a local and national sensation for its hand-made dumplings. Operating from just a couple of tables and selling thousands of dumplings daily, the stall is best known for jhol momo—chicken-filled dumplings bathed in a garlicky, dried-red-chile, soybean-seed spiced tomato sauce—and for Tibetan-style dumplings stuffed with pork and chives. Praised on Yelp and featured on TV shows like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, the food is celebrated as transcendent and well worth the hype, and dining there offers an unobstructed view of the market’s multicultural bustle." - ByZahir Janmohamed
