The Darjeeling

In the year of 1950, Republic of China occupied Tibet. Many Tibetans then migrated to India, Nepal and Bhutan. Mainly in hilly areas. At that time, the influence of Tibetan culture spread in several regions of India. This effect comes across beautifully on the food plate. 2 Tibetan food became very popular. Especially those, who love to travel to the mountains, have tested it once. One is Thukpa and the other is Sha Phalay or Shafale. Thukpa can be eaten for lunch or dinner. But you should eat shafale for breakfast or evening snacks. Shafale is made by deep frying chicken and onion filling in a dough. It looks like a crescent moon. Many of you know Thukpa. Noodles in soup with vegetables and chicken pieces. Veg thukpa is also available. These items are available in many places in Kolkata itself. However, a restaurant called "The Darjeeling" in Salt Lake Square offers many more Tibetan dishes apart from these two delicacies. The price is also within reach. To enjoy Darjeeling delicacies while sitting in Kolkata, you can visit "The Darjeeling" in one day.

I visited this place for the first time with family in October 2023. The experience was awe inspiring. Food was authentic Tibetan and the atmosphere was truly rustic. The seating arrangement outdoor was fabulous. I would suggest to try the momo range they have. Service could have been a bit faster but its not a major concern. Three cheers for the cuisine. I would definitely make it a point to visit again whenever I am in Kolkata.

Loved the food. It's a hidden gem for food lovers. The balcony setting along with their authentic flavour food will give u a hilly vibe and experience. I have ordered Chicken momos, golden fried prawns, Chilly Chicken and Korean mixed fried rice. All the items were lip smacking. A must visit place. 💗

Located in sector 1 Salt Lake, this restaurant is one of the Tibetan restaurants in Kolkata. Location prime. Parking - U can park a car or bike easily on the nearby road. Ambiance - very good. A small restaurant with a roadside balcony gives a very feelgood mood. Food - Momos were very good. Love the chicken steamed momo. Phalays also good. Shyapta was realy boring . Thupka n Kawri was not available on that day. Staff- ok ok. Server need to be more informative about food. Price n Payment - price very reasonable. card n upi payment also available Overall a decent restaurant to try Tibetan dishes in saltlake.
