Well if you know about the food scene in Darjeeling you will surely know about 'Sonam's Kitchen'. It's been 23 years since Aunty and Uncle has been running the business. What you get there? A plate full of Love. Her Pancakes were the tastiest I have had since a long time. Or maybe never. Also, her brewed coffee was amazing. What you get apart from food? A good conversation with both of them that stretches from Food to Travel to various aspects of Life. Their smile and love for each other was so obvious on their faces. Being the curious kind, we asked them about their way of leading life, to our surprise they turned out to be so clear headed. They happily admitted that they go for trips every year for atleast 3 months. Whenever they get the chance they just leave for the unknown. Also how both of them helps homeless kids doing Child labour in a regular manner. Her love for cooking was very obvious because no one could have imagined that these food came out of that small kitchen. But as they say, Food comes from Heart and not from fancy kitchens. Sonam's Kitchen is a living example of it. I probably can't remember the last time I was this content with the food, hospitality and warmth. Thank you for a perfect Breakfast experience.

Can't find any rating other than 5* for this small and modest place. Had to go through a lot of hardship to reach this place on foot, thanks to Google maps showing a steep road as the shortest route to reach this place. However, this is pretty close to the mall. You need to take the left exit. It will take only 2-3 mins to reach that way. Now, coming to the food and ambience. It was freezing cold and raining when we reached there. The owner Mr. Pradhan and his wife (the master chef) welcomed us and there was a heater at one corner which provided the much needed warmth. We had a hearty chat all along our stay there and it felt like home. We enjoyed the wholesome meal. Apart from eggs and the hash browns, we loved the pancakes which were extremely soft and tasty. One interesting thing is that you need to write down your order on a piece of paper with a pencil. There is a good collection of books which you can go through while having your meal. They did not try to mis-sell anything and guided us all along about the portions and the foods which are not suitable together which was a striking difference from other shops. The ginger honey lemon was also appreciated by my companions. If you are in Darjeeling and looking for a quality breakfast, this joint must be on...
