The Darjeeling is a quaint little eatery near DB block, Salt Lake which was previously situated in Gorkha Bhavan. If you’re craving Chinese food on budget, this is the place to be! With their pocket friendly prices and great portions, it’s great as a student hangout.

What Makes It Awesome

The Darjeeling is a hidden gem for Chinese lovers! Their pork momos are one of the most popular items on the menu, served with a sauce that is an absolute delight for those who love the heat. Their Chinese chopsuey is known to be a hit and when it comes their portion size, it is more than enough for two. The roasted chilli pork tossed in onions, chillies and bell peppers is sure to become your go-to pork dish.

Their menu also includes other Tibetan dishes such as shaphalays and phalays. If you’re feeling a little experimental, you can also try their Bhutanese dishes, that include ema datshi and kewa datshi, made primarily using chilli and cheese. The service is prompt even though they are slightly short-staffed. The Darjeeling also has an outdoor sitting area in the balcony, that also serves as a smoking zone. With their amazing food, cozy interior and pocket-friendly prices, Darjeeling is sure to be frequented by the Chinese-lover in you! Also, the Darjeeling will win you over not just with their food but also their playlist which comprises all-time favourites like Joe Satriani, Bon Jovi, Bee Gees and the like! They are available on Zomato as well as Swiggy. 

Cost for two can approximately be INR 500 here.

What Could Be Better

The sitting area is not very big and the place cannot accommodate a slightly larger number of people.
