Chiabari: The Tea Retreat - Cuisine

The region offers a unique selection of different cuisines. You can start your day with a hearty English breakfast of sausages, eggs and freshly baked bread. For lunch you may like to sample some Chinese with a distinctly Indian twist – a taste that's wonderful to experience, difficult to describe and impossible to forget. After a siesta or a ramble in the jungle in the afternoon, munch your way through a typical Bengali jol-khabar (literally "water and food", it's a term used for high tea-type snacks like samosas and cutlets). You may choose to dine light and in that case Tibetan cuisine should be your food of choice, especially the lightly steamed momos with their clear, delicious thukpa (soup) on the side.

Our khansamas (cooks) are adept at the various cuisines of the region and make perfect guides for your gastronomic adventurings.
