There are certain foods that instantly transport you back to a place. For anyone who has spent time in the hills, that dish is often a plate of steaming hot mutton momos. Juicy, flavourful, and comforting, they’re one of the mountain region’s most beloved culinary staples.

Of course, hopping on a road trip every time a momo craving strikes isn’t exactly practical. Thankfully, Delhi has a spot that brings a taste of the mountains to the capital.

Tucked away in the bustling lanes of Yashwant Place in Chanakyapuri, Laguna has quietly built a reputation among momo lovers for serving authentic-style mutton momos alongside a solid selection of Indo-Chinese favourites. The restaurant is particularly known for its momo offerings, with both chicken and mutton varieties featuring prominently on its menu.

Among the many eateries that call Yashwant Place home, Laguna remains a personal favourite. The must-order combination? A plate of Steamed Mutton Momos paired with Chilly Garlic Chicken Fried Rice. The momos are packed with flavour and served with a spicy accompaniment that elevates the experience, while the fried rice delivers the perfect balance of garlic, heat, and comfort.

Don’t expect a fancy dining experience. The ambience is functional rather than memorable, and the focus here is firmly on the food. Fortunately, that’s where Laguna shines. Despite its popularity, it remains relatively affordable, making it a go-to spot for a satisfying meal without stretching the budget. The restaurant is generally priced around ₹500–₹700 for two people, depending on what you order.
