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...
Read moreAbsolutely loved my visit to Nawang Restaurant in Darjeeling, right near Mall Road. This little gem packs a big punch in flavor and warmth.
First the vibe: the space is cozy and compact, but somehow it feels instantly like home. It’s the kind of place where you’re greeted with friendly smiles, and the intimate seating makes every dining moment feel personal and relaxed. Don’t be put off by the size—the atmosphere is charming and incredibly inviting.
Now the food: authentic Tibetan at its best. Each bite carries a comforting, authentic taste that reminded me of home-cooked meals, but with a distinctive hill-town twist. We tried the chicken curry with roti and rice, and it was a perfect balance of spice, depth, and tenderness. The chicken momo is a must-try—succulent filling, perfect steam, and a flavor that defines the “forever favorite” status for many locals and visitors alike.
If you’re in Darjeeling and craving truly tasty, comforting Tibetan dishes, this is the place to go. The quality of the ingredients and the generous portions make you feel you’re getting authentic value. Highly recommend going for their momo and the chicken curry—you’ll leave with a happy belly and a smile.
