Review Hot Stimulating Cafe - Darjeeling

Nov 23. We stopped here twice on our visit to Darjeeling. A quaint little spot with indoor and outdoor seating. It is a short walk from town on the way down to the Zoo and near Nigtingale park. Lovely couple running the place. Darjeeling tea is good. Veg momos were great (65Rs). Good view from the outdoor area.

This place is very close to my heart. Every time I visit darjeeling I must visit this place. Aunty is very much polite and soft spoken to us always. Momos here is a must try.

If you're into Starbucks, and fancy joints, read no. further. This unassuming place is off the governor's house, on the road. It seats 36 people, including outdoor and indoor tables. Their momo is superb, so is the Darjeeling tea. Price point is extremely reasonable. The view from the outdoor seating area is breathtaking. And there are cats.

Probably the best vegetarian momos in Darjeeling. They’re juicy, and the chutney is spicy - makes for a great combination. Frequented by school kids, which should also tell you about its VFM. They serve both steamed and fried momos. Outside and indoor seating are both available, and if the weather is favourable you can get a good view of the mountains. Check out this place after a visit to the zoo and HMI, both of which are at a walking distance.

A must visit if you are in Darjeeling. Way better than all the other recommended places. A fifteen mins walk from chowrasta. Head here for great views of Darjeeling. One must get a table outside. It's owned and run by an old couple. Perfect place for momos and coffee.

This is a small but an outstanding cafe on the way to the zoo to spend time and relax. Here we got the authentic flavor of Darjeeling tea and momos and the soup was delicious. We enjoyed 'B for T' a millet beer served in a bamboo glass with a bamboo pipe. Also the owners of the cafe were very courteous.

A beautiful place in Darjeeling to spend time. Outside the main city this cafe is popular amongst the locals. But you can try it for local foods and a must try coffee. Price is little bit high I think, but the ambience, view, behaviour of cafe owners easily compensate that.

Awesome cafe. The old lady there was too sweet and the taste is marvelous with just a simple lower price. We took black coffe, tea, pancake with honey Thukpa and chow wai wai. The wai and pancake was just yum being homemade. This place has a nice scenario available as well.

This cafe is located only 12-15 minutes walking distance from Darjeeling mall. The cafe is small and nice.

A very offbeat and comfy place. The old couple at the place are very friendly and adds that extra bit of charm to the experience. Everyone should try their homemade beer and tea (preferrably together)

We came here for a Momo making class and had the most wonderful time. The lady conducting the class was lovely and we exchanged stories throughout the class. She explained everything very well and the momos were delicious. We ate some together and got to take the rest home. It was an absolute highlight during our time in Darjeeling.

Amazing view, so delicious food & very affordable price!Must visit place!

The place is not so highly decorated but the view was really nice. We ordered wai wai, sausage and momo. The wai wai and sausage was delicious. And also the price was within the budget.

Quality is not the same as earlier it used to be. But a good place to chill-out. Have tongba and momo. Also Darjeeling special tea if you are tea lover.

Small neat cafe on the way to Zoo and HMI. Very welcoming owner and good coffee with a nice view.

Very friendly, talkative and helpful owners. Tasty food and chai. Located in a quiet area, not so far from the Zoo. An ideal place to relax and unwind.

Can anyone tell me if Rumba is still the owner? I lost contact a few years ago and want to get in touch. Thanks!

Awesome Darjeeling tea and amazing view. The hosts were very warm in their welcome. Although it says on other sites the momos are great, in fact they are so so in nature. I would recommend everyone to visit this place just for the view and the tea. It is worth it.
