    The story

    Momos are the steamed dumplings of Tibet and Nepal. The Tibetan name probably comes from a northwestern Chinese word for steamed buns, and one common account says Newar merchants from Nepal brought the recipe back from trading in Tibet; whether it travelled from the Kathmandu Valley to Tibet or the other way is still debated. Many Tibetans came to India after the 1959 uprising and brought momos with them. In the Indian plains the filling changed, with chicken becoming the usual meat and vegetable momos made for the many vegetarian customers.

    Burger Singh is the story of one nickname. Kabir Jeet Singh, from an army family, went to the University of Birmingham for an MBA and paid his way with evening shifts at a burger restaurant and night shifts at a pub. He found British burgers bland, started working Indian spices into the patties, and friends began calling him Burger Singh. Back in India, he opened the first Burger Singh in Gurgaon in 2014, in a space of about 98 square feet.

    More than 100 outlets in over 50 Indian cities, many of them small outlets built for delivery.
