Our Story

Once upon a time in the bustling streets of Sydney, two friends, Inder & Rohit, embarked on a culinary adventure that would change the Indian food scene forever. In a distant land far from their homeland, they found themselves missing the flavours and comfort of their native cuisine. Rohit, married to his wife from Sikkim (Northeastern India) had a deep love for Momo and Inder had a passion for creating unique desserts. Inder & Rohit shared a vision of merging these two culinary worlds to create something extraordinary. Their story began in mid 2021 when they decided to offer Indian food outside Samosa, Naan and Butter Chicken.

Meet our co-founder, Indrajeet Magar (Inder) hailing from the foodie haven of Kolhapur in Maharashtra, India. His passion for exploring diverse flavours and textures is evident in every aspect of our business. With double masters in business, he combines his academic excellence with a love for culinary adventures. However, it's his sweet tooth that truly stands out. With a particular fondness for ice cream, he has spent countless hours savouring and experimenting with this delightful treat. From classic vanilla bean to exotic fruit infusions, his enthusiasm for ice cream is not just a hobby but an inspiration that drives our creative vision. His dedication to perfecting every scoop reflects in the quality and innovation we bring to our products, making each bite a testament to his love for sweet indulgences.

Rohit Sanga (Rohit), our co-founder from the vibrant city of Delhi with a background in hospitality, Rohit brings a unique blend of business acumen and culinary passion to our venture. His deep-rooted love for vegetarian momo has made him an expert in crafting these delicious dumplings. His dedication to perfecting the recipe and ensuring the highest quality ingredients is evident in every bite. Rohit's enthusiasm for vegetarian momo not only drives our product innovation but also shapes our commitment to delivering authentic and flavourful experiences to our customers. His vision and passion are integral to our success, making him an indispensable part of our team. The absence of these familiar tastes in their new home motivated them to take matters into their own hands. They decided to introduce these cherished flavours to the foreign land they now called home.

Their journey began with countless hours spent in their small kitchen, experimenting with momo fillings and crafting unique Indian-inspired ice cream recipes. They faced challenges along the way, from sourcing authentic Indian spices to perfecting the art of momo making to nailing the texture and taste of ice creams, but their determination never wavered.

After months of trial and error, they finally achieved the perfect combination of Indian spices and local produce for their vegetarian momo. Their momo are filled with a variety of delicious vegetarian options, from their signature Original Momo & Masala Paneer to fusion fillings like Spinach, Schezwan & Beetroot momo with Indian spices.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant flavours of India, they started experimenting with unique ice cream blends. Pink Guava with Salt and Chilli, Roasted Almonds with Saffron, Custard Apple, Alphonso Mango, Pineapple Chaat (Chaat is an Indian powder spice mix) and Chikoo (Sapota) soon found their way into their ice cream machines. They named their venture "Icy Spicy," - Indian Dessert & Momo Bar. Their food soon became a hit among locals and expatriates alike.

Both momo & ice cream at Icy Spicy became local sensations. Their customers couldn't get enough of the delectable momo and the rich, creamy ice creams infused with the essence of India. Their restaurant provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where patrons could experience a slice of India in every bite.
