- Being a busy commercial center, Kalimpong boasts of a vibrant street food scenario full of old eateries and stalls.
In today's episode we are exploring some of these along with our dynamic host Nicholas Ghatani who is a freelancer in the area of tourism and media. He is also the co-founder of a small hot sauce manufacturing company named Greenly.
The day started with a simple yet delicious traditional breakfast at our homestay prepared by the very warm and genial Ms. Duke. This consisted of sel roti, chamri and aalu dum. The pretzel shaped sel roti made of rice and semolina was irresistible. The fenugreek seeds flavoured chamri, which was prepared on our request, was subtle and filling.
When the breakfast got over we departed for our first street food destination at Rishi Road named Amdo Restaurant that specializes in Tibetan dishes. Its interiors resembled a cosy Tibetan household. Here we ordered a Wai Wai laphing, tingmo and pork chilli. The former was a fun thing to try because of the contrasting textures of its components. Tingmo was pillowy soft and went well with the spicy pork chilli.
From there we reached Haat Bazaar which houses numerous stalls of daily commodities. It is also dotted with many small food stalls doing brisk business by catering to the shopkeepers and visitors. The first place that we went to was Manoj Food Cart. Here you will find different fried snacks. We opted for the sha phaley which is somewhat close to a minced meat paratha. The filling was spicy and juicy. Next we got to know about some local daily food ingredients and marcha which is used for making local liquor.
Next stop was Tara Phambi stall that is run by two genial ladies. Phambi is the most quintessential street food of Kalimpong that is prepared from mung beans through a slightly complex process. They are jelly like savoury chunks that are tossed in a chilli based sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed its silky, smooth and spicy mouthfeel. This was followed by a zesty plate of aalu thukpa which was noodles topped with aalu dum.
The following stop was Tenzing restaurant where we had a big sized pork momo. This place too is an old eatery serving affordable traditional snacks to the locals. This bread like momo was totally opposite to its regular thin skinned counterpart.
The penultimate stop was another old joint named Nima which is famous for thukpa and momo. We had intended to try chicken or pork thukpa over here but since it was all over, we didn't try anything else.
The final stop of this insightful tour was Renu Radhan's pickle shop. It is managed by a genial hardworking lady, Renu Pradhan. She sells various kinds of pickles and other local treats. With a beaming smile she made us taste some of them. If you have a penchant for local goodies, do give it a try.

omg nicholas was so generous man very good manners kudos to him
"Shutter wala dukaan and ab hum bahut khush hai" is such a heart warming moment ❤️❤️
I enjoy how she expressed that part believe me I am right now in J&K 2022 I have seen her since 2002 she is same, the only vegetarian momo in kalimpong bus stand with beet root soupy maternal grand ma used to eat there.
True that....warmed my heart.
That's India 🇮🇳, different taste, different lifestyle, eating habits, language, still the love and respect is there, that's how India should be rather than fighting each just for the sake of politicians, and religion. Don't fight we all are one....
Thank you once again for introducing us to the various local dishes along with heart touching hospitality of kalimpong people 😊😊🙏🙏
Oh thats our grandson Danu with Sapraji ☺️ thats just great 🙏
I haven't been home (Kalimpong) for the past 2 years, this video made my day 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent..... people of Kalimpong...lovely... Incredible India with all community
"Raaste mein kha lena."
What could possibly be a more heartfelt gift for someone perpetually on the move as he meticulously and lovingly turns over the pages of the epic cuisines from the farthest corners of India for his viewers.
That lady made my day. Thanks again Anubhav.
despite knowing everything yourself the way you let the guide speak is fantastic.
No one covered this part of India -Kalimpong . Thank you for covering Kalimpong Food. Sapra sir, Love from Mumbai .
Much respect Anubhav ji the amount of knowledge and research,your effort and time you have put on about local food and place really shows 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks again for a great video love from kalimpong
If you're still in Kalimpong, I strongly recommend trying "kachar pachar" near the old Kanchan Cinema hall. It's basically aloo thukpa with a lot of extra stuff which makes it even better, and it's one of the most famous foods in Kalimpong. Any local will guide you.
He did in his latest video ..!!
The thing i like the most is ki anubhav kuch kaat-te nahi hai, puri baat sunvate hai har dukan valo ki ya shopkeeper ki, baaki vloggers kvl “ohohoho” “ahahahah” krte rehte hai ! ✨🤞🏻♥️
Pickle shop aunty is the best 💕rise and shine aunty 💕
This episode touched my heart.. innocence of hill people, their simplicity n simple but tasty n healthy food. Great Episode looking for part III
Waaaaah...this is humility..the lady shopkeeper rocks..
Oh my God. How cool is this place and people. They are wonderful people living in paradise. Thank you Anubhav from Sydney for introducing such a beautiful part of India.
Love Anubhav Sapra's videos, too good, the way he presents the various cuisines of India, such a humble soul.
I am from Tripura,a small state in northeast.I can assure you tribal people are the simplest and purest form of humans you will ever come accross in this gross world. And I feel proud about the fact that I share a strong bond with them.❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing episode of kalimpong part 2 video was amazing and enjoyable or bhaut umada and shandhar or jabarzdast video 😍😃😋👌👍🙂🤩
While he was trying aloo thukpa, the little kid is helping his father in the background. Very cute scene.
Hello Anubhav ji 🙏 ek aur nice vlog Kalimpong ki yaadein taaza ho gayin ..... yahan bahot greenery hai dekh ker aankhon ko sukuun milta hai.......after 10-12years baad yahan ka scene dekh ker accha laga....kyunki mere bacche iske pahle yahan boarding main padhte thye toh hum log hamesha jaate thye...thanks kalimpong ki travel karane k liye 🙏🌹🌹🌹
another informative episode...the old shop lady was so adorable... :)
Another excellent episode... Showcasing the great local food diversity of Kalimpong which most of us miss-out during our visits as we are not aware off.. Have generared much interest to try these goodies in the next visit...😊🙏👍
It’s amazing to see this vedio , after watching this feels like this place is more like Nepal than India, language , food, ingredients, people and May be everything..resembles Nepal. ❤️
Enjoyed the video. Simple people with smiles on their faces. Thank you Sir for presenting themselves.
Lovely scenic beauty, as if colourful embroidery on nature s canvas...
The farmers food is similar to 'khari bhaat', (which has sliced onion along)... 'sel roti', true, reminds of festivals, and is near to taste, to 'meetha pudla'...
Ive noticed this many a times, the fluency of the hand movements, while wrking wth kitchen tools...which is a v distinct specialty of the chefs frm the north east...
The market visit was fabulous... 'phambi' was something v different i got to know, also was thinking, what a, 'HI' wud people be experiencing wth the traditional alcoholic beverage...
The show stopper was the last shop... loved everything about it... specially the candle flame sealing of the packet!!
Thank you
Nima restaurant.....one of the best and old restaurant in kalimpong.
Excellent 👌 once again showing us

Wow. Simplicity at its best
Wow. Every other word is superfluous. Thanks for the wonderful share 💯🍻
I respect your dedication towards making these vlogs. That pickle lady was so happy to share her story . A real inspiration .
Nice video. Thank you for your sharing such great content. Have a good time
Yet another fabulous video👌👌 The lady shop owner in the end is such a wonderful soul, really emits the love of an elder sister..
कलिम्पोन्ग का प्यार सिर्फ़ जायको में नहीं तो यहाँ के लोगोंसे भी है. बडे बडे शहरों में ग्राहक और विक्रेता इनके दरमियान संवाद घुटके रह गया है और सिर्फ़ सिक्को की आवाज सुनायि देती है. लेकिन यहाँ विक्रेता ग्राहकोसे संवाद कर एक रिश्ता बना लेता है. यही बात इनको एक उत्तम विक्रेता बनाति है. सिक्कोका व्यवहार तो सभी करते है लेकिन प्यार का व्यवहार करके ग्राहकोको अपना बनाना कोई इनसे सिखे. आज पहली बार आपके एपिसोड में खाने की आवाज से ज्यादा लोगों की प्यारभरि बातें सुनायि दी. इसतरह के जायके चखने का स्वाद और भी उमदा होता है.
Thankyou for visiting Kalimpong and exploring different food
Last lady is so sweeet 😊

BEST BLOGER.
I found some excellent and healthy eating options viewing this video which are easier and less time consuming to make
Waaaw very nice video ever
The way of your video making is excellent.. you talk to the food vendors in a very polite way. I especially like your conversation with Biharis vendor.
North eastern people are so lovely to talk to.
They are always so welcoming and have smile on the face.
I will definitely visit north east in coming times.
This is East India not North East
So blessed to have you in Kalimpong... A place I hold so dear to my heart. Do visit Dr.Grahams Homes Kalimpong.
The variety of vegetables and foods you get in Kalimpong will make a super market underwhelming that's the beauty of this wonderful town.
Thank you for visiting kalimpong 🙏

NEPALI IS MODERN VERSION OF DOTELI LANGUAGE.
DOTELI is a KUMAONI DIALECT LANGUAGE.
There are many community in NEPALI.
LIMBU,TAMANG, RAI,KHAS ARYANS, MANGAR,GURUNG etc.
KHAS ARYANS SURNAME match with maximum KUMAONI and GHARWALI also.
Bcoz WESTERN NEPAL and KUMAON,GARWAL was under same KINGDOM KATYURI KINGDOM, KHAS MALLA KINGDOM.
