The 13 best spots for dumplings in Darjeeling

The best best best food I have ever had!!! This place is being viral for all the right reasons. It’s worth every hype. Their PHING is to die for. We tried so many items from their menu and nothing disappointed us. Each item was better than another. Honestly if you also go to Darjeeling very often like me you should definitely give this place a try. Though you need to remember one thing that their cooking style is very different. More like Nepali and Tibetan style. So if you’re hoping to taste Chinese flavours this is not a place for you. They use very little oil and sauce. Make regional dishes. We loved it. It’s my favourite. ❤️❤️

Dekevas is truly a gem in Darjeeling! The food quality is absolutely top-notch, fresh, flavorful, and served with great care. Their chicken bibimbap bowl and kimchi fried rice is hands down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced, hearty, and bursting with taste. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are attentive and welcoming. A must-visit if you’re in Darjeeling and want authentic, delicious food.

Darjeeling Glenanries is a delightful café that perfectly blends cozy charm with breathtaking views. The breakfast menu offers fresh and flavorful options, making it an ideal spot to start your day. Their bakery selection is a highlight, cupcakes are moist and beautifully decorated, brownies are rich and indulgent, and other pastries are equally tempting. Complemented by well-brewed coffee and a warm, inviting ambiance, Glenanries is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy both hearty breakfast and sweet treats in Darjeeling.

This is a restaurant where you can feel relaxed and relaxed. It's a small shop with four tables, and although it has an old-fashioned atmosphere, you can feel the cleanliness. There is an English menu. Tibetan and Indian cuisine. Chicken and lamb too. I probably can't drink alcohol. Tibetan Buddhist reliefs are modestly displayed, giving it a simple and nice atmosphere. The female owner is kind and maintains a reasonable distance. Darjeeling milk tea is delicious. (20 rupees) On the day I visited, it was closed at 8:30 pm. A small, cozy eatery. Though the space is quite small, only four tables and assorted chairs with them. The owner is quite humble and well behaved. Just stumbled upon it during a lazy afternoon while roaming the streets of Darjeeling. Had a long talk with the owner while eating. Ordered Pork Thukpa and Chicken Thukpa. The food was delicious, amount of meat in the Chowmein was adequate. They offer trekking tours as well, bounced back some ideas regarding that too. The trekking tours offered by them are both in West Bengal as well as in Sikkim. It was a small food joint where Nepali and Tibetan foods were available, we tried their chicken momo, egg chowmein, egg fried rice, dry chilli chicken, chilli pork dry and pork curry. The foods were beyond expectation! One of the best pork curry I tried there, the pieces just melted in my mouth it was too yummy, chili pork was very well cooked and equally delicious, dry chilli chicken was a bit different from other places, I liked it very much, and lastly the momo was also excellent. I would love to recommend this place to everyone who like to try good food in cheap price in Darjeeling. If you can ignore the ambience this is one of the best place to have Nepali and Tibetan Dishes. The owners were very very welcoming and also friendly. Really liked the place. Hope to meet you soon.

It’s a small eatery on Dr. Zakir Hussain Road famous for its breakfast platters, brunch and cozy environment. I tried their Breakfast platters of Hash Brown, Scrambled Egg, Cheese & Bread Toast. The combination is absolutely amazing. I have ordered a Darjeeling Black Tea & Cheese Omelette separately, both were tasty. The owner was very welcoming. We chatted a lot about the local cuisines. It’s a must visit for those who love the proper English Cuisine.

There are various famous food joints and restaurants in Darjeeling serving delicious and awesome food. Many of them are located near the mall road. And among them, although a little less known among tourists, The Park restaurant is a very good dining restaurant serving really good and tasty food. It is located very near to the Darjeeling Clock Tower on the downhill road. The ambience and interiors are quite nice and they serve a variety of food items. Price is medium and the staffs are courteous. Overall its a nice restaurant and a must visit for tourists visiting this beautiful hill town ❤️❤️

Visited Penang after nearly 5 years. The decor and interior has improved. The food was awesome as usual. Still one of the best places for Chinese food in Darj. Loved the Chilli pork. The chow and fried rice was delicious too. Special mention for the American Chpp Suey, though it could be a too sweet for some palettes. Al in all great food.

Delicious food at an economical price. Momos and Thukpas. It tastes like home food.

It's Awesome and amazing Hotel Staff behavior is so Good and respectable And Room's are very neet and clean

A small but quaint place serving some delicious food. We had the steamed momos and laphing. The two chutneys were amazing and service was fast. Lots of local folks were eating compare to tourists at all other places. You gotta try this when you are in Darjeeling

Best and delicious Nepali food, must try if your are in Darjeeling. Staff is also so friendly loved the place and would like to visit again

Going down the tail end of mall road, you'll find several shops selling food, clothes, tea, lottery tickets, you name it. It's a bustling street on weekdays and weekends that feels strangely empty when the crowd is reduced even a little bit. Some of these shops have closed doors and shuttered windows with holes for food, and some of them are wide open with inviting samples kept behind glass. And then there's Kalden's: a small shop with a red signboard, unpretentious, unassuming, beautiful. The owner sits out front on his chair, welcoming you with a smile. Talking to him and his wife is half the fun of visiting this place - they are people with good humour, lots of knowledge and lots of tips for you to explore around Darjeeling and neighbouring areas. They'll even tell you what dishes to try if you want to go beyond the usual momos or thukpa - both are great, in fact the best momos in Darjeeling by a long shot, and an incredibly flavorful thukpa - but there's a lot more to Tibetan cuisine than that, and Kalden's is a great representation of it. I tried Syafale and it was delicious. You can't get it more authentic or more tasty than here. I'm left with a very distinct image of this place - while I was having some great food after an afternoon of exhaustion, some school kids clamoured by the front window. "Ae baccha log, chocolate, toffee, chocolate lelo!" the owner greeted them with his hearty belly laugh. In short: you come to Kalden's for the authentic and delicious food, and you leave with joy in your heart. Can't rave enough about this place.

Iconic food paradise in the city, variety of tasty Street food, and a major tourist attractions, all along the busy mall road towards chourasta, mostly non veg haven for meat lovers, there are veggie items as well, must visit and highly recommended.
