While in Gangtok, India, I decided to eat at a restaurant known as Taste of Tibet, located right along the MG Marg walking street. Gangtok, in the Sikkim province, is very near Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal, so there’s plenty of both Nepali and Tibetan food.

Here’s the video:

Tibetan food, as I found out, is not overly flavorful – most of the food is quite mild, but it sure is soothing and comforting especially for cold weather. Luckily, at all the Tibetan restaurants I visited there was always a nice bottle of spicy hot sauce to go with the meal.

Momo dumplings, meat pie shapale, and noodle soup were the dishes I ate, and they were all really good.

If you visit Gangtok, be sure to dine at Taste of Tibet!
