Chennai’s snack scene gets an upgrade with momo and pizza rolls

With Chennai’s scorching summer sun making even the idea of stepping into the kitchen feels like a full-on Olympic event, quick and satisfying bites start to feel less like a treat and more like a survival tactic. RollsKing, a brand known for its grab-and-go format and indulgent kathi rolls, has rolled out its latest additions, Momo rolls and Pizza rolls, across select outlets.

Momo meets pizza: Chennai’s new grab-and-go bites

When a box of these landed at our office, we tucked in before they had a chance to cool. And given the heat situation, we leaned towards the Veg momo roll over anything too heavy on chicken. Packed with golden, crisp-fried momos and coated in a bold, spicy seasoning, then finished with chutneys and a sharp crunch of onions, this one delivers on flavour while still feeling just restrained enough to justify the choice.

We would usually pick momos over pizza without a second thought, but when it came to these rolls, the tables turned. The veg pizza roll leans unapologetically into indulgence. We were quite impressed by the way the molten cheese, herby notes, and classic pizza toppings were all snugly wrapped in a kathi roll. It is rich and cheesy, and ensure you have it hot. We quite liked how the flavours came together, especially when the cheese bursts into your mouth with the herbs and the crunch of the onion lends a unique flavour.

And of course, we couldn’t just cheat on the Chicken seekh pizza roll. The chicken was juicy and well-spiced, with just a whisper of cardamom adding a bit of flair. A light layer of mint-coriander chutney brought in a refreshing lift, rounding things off rather nicely.

One of the highlights here is the choice of base. Whether you’re after a flaky lachha paratha for that proper street-style crunch, a multigrain option for a nod to healthier habits, or whole wheat, there’s a roll for every mood.

To wash it down, we went for some smart summer choices. The Aam panna was tangy, cooling, and exactly what’s needed when Chennai decides to turn up the heat. But the true champion was the Indian masala shikanji. Zesty lemon, gentle spices like roasted cumin, black salt, and ginger, with just the right touch of sweetness, made it both refreshing and hydrating. Most importantly, neither beverage was overly sweet. The shikanji did such a stellar job that we almost forgot how hot it was, a small miracle in itself.
