Bamboo shoot Achi's Authentic Naga Cuisine — Restaurant in Meghalaya

Naga Food is famous for using Bamboo Shoot in its cuisine. So how apt was it for Achi to name her cute Naga restaurant, Bamboo Shoot. Achi belongs to Tuensang district of Nagaland which is 1 of the 3 original districts of Nagaland but I'm not sure if the restaurant serves food from one of the tribes from that district. So today Isaac & me entered this cute little eatery. Isaac eats here often but it was my 1st time here. The place can fit about 10 people at a sitting. Some effort went into making it cozy. I looked up the menu & Isaac immediately went for the Pork intestine thali. While I've had plenty of Naga pork dishes, I've never actually had one made out of fish. So I went for the Pomfret & fresh Bamboo Shoot thali. 15 mins later our orders arrived. My thali had 2 huge pieces of Pomfret Fish in a spicy red curry, rice, dal & boiled cabbage. Mashed potatoes, fish chilli chutney & sohngang (a bitter vegetable) came with the thalis. The fish had alot of flavor. The curry did have a hint of bamboo shoot but not overwhelmingly so & it had just the right amount of heat level for me. The rice was slightly sticky. The dal was pretty plain but helped cut down the heat. The boiled cabbage & other sides complimented the meal very well. It was so tasty that I even got an extra helping of rice. I don't do spicy very well but for flavors like this, I do try my best. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. This may be one of the better Naga food I've had in Shillong. Perhaps it was all because of the fish. Service was polite & they tried their best to be prompt. I also found the prices reasonable considering the other Naga thalis I've recently ate. This definitely was bomb.

Travelled to the beautiful city of Shillong. Tasting delicious cuisine is always one of the highlights of travel. I was fortunate to try authentic Naga cuisine at the cosy restaurant Achi’s “Bamboo Shoot” for all my three days. Achi is a very warm and friendly host with a very diverse and delicious range of home cooked dishes including her always popular pork with dry and fresh bamboo shoot thali. I loved the chicken with dry bamboo shoot thali as well with local rice and assortments of pickles made with local spices. In spite of her busy schedule she made many special home cooked chicken, pork and fish cuisines for me. The ambience is very homely warm and relaxed with high standards of cleanliness because of her. I’m always going to be a regular at Achi’s Bamboo Shoot for authentic Naga cuisine and wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to my fellow travellers from Delhi...
