Best for Assamese thali. If you want to have authentic Assamese thali, it is the best place. One of the oldest hotel in Guwahati. I've been to this place since I was a kid. I love the fish tenga and the aloo pitika.
We ordered 2 thalis, 4 Puris n mix veg. It took them ages to serve the puri n veggies so much do that my son entered the kitchen to check. Thankfully the food was good.
Great experience overall and would highly recommend this place for someone who wants to try Assamese thali
If you are searching for proper Assamese delicacies while in Guwahati, then you must visit Paradise. We had Parampara thaali (served on bell metal)and Vyanjan thaali (served on Steel plate) which had variety of items in it. The best item from the thaali is the Steamed fish and duck curry tastes really good.
Please find the attached pictures of food and ambiance.

Assamese cuisine favour fermentation and drying products as forms of preservation. Assamese cuisine is characterized my minimal use of spices, little cooking, and very strong flavours arising due to use of exotic fruits and vegetables. Assamese cuisine is a bit different than the rest of India but it’s tastes good and rich nevertheless. Parampara Paradise or simply Paradise Restaurant brings out the best of Assamese cuisine and serves it to the city of Guwahati. Situated in Maniram Dewan Road, Silpukhuri, Paradise is indeed a paradise for all the food lovers of not only Guwahati but people from all over Assam.
Paradise restaurant is one of the most iconic and oldest restaurants in Guwahati. It has been a hub of Assamese cuisine since 1984. This place is credited for creating a cult following of the Assamese cuisine. You can choose from a wide selection and versatile menu. Duck, chicken and mutton are a must in every Assamese cuisine. This restaurant doesn’t disappoint with its huge variety of non vegetarian dishes. The menu itself looks pleasing owing to the dishes written in the Assamese language alongside English. The waiters welcome you with a warm smile and greet you namaskar in their traditional way. They are dressed in their traditional attire and the atmosphere is warm and peaceful. The interior of the place is very humble and soothing. The walls are adorned with the traditional Assamese showpieces like the japi, a hat made with bamboo and decorated. Various drawings portraying the Assamese lifestyle on the walls takes the feel of the restaurant to a top-notch experience. The furniture is simple but with a traditional hint in them.
Coming to the dishes, a safe and enjoyable introduction to the Assamese cuisine would be to start with the Vyanjan thali. It consists of steamed rice teamed up with khar (vegetable preparation with soda bicarbonate), dal, mashed potatoes, chicken curry, fish tenga, kahudi, kharoli, khorisa, mahor guri, payas/curd. The parampara thali is for the adventurous heart as this consists of pigeon or duck curry. The khar is a signature preparation made with the key ingredient, khar. Water is filtered through the ashes of the sun-dried skin of banana producing Khar. There is a strong flavour and aroma of mustard in every dish since it is the signature of Assamese cuisine. The cooking medium is mustard oil. The subtly flavoured fish tenga is a beloved of the crowd. It has a nice tangy taste to it. If you are at Paradise, you got to try their signature dishes. Gooseberry soup has its own fan following. Fish bamboo hollow is a traditional dish in which fish is cooked is a hollow bamboo. The fish gets a nice bamboo aroma and taste to it. Bhut jolokia or ghost pepper is the hottest chilli pepper in the world. It is found in North East India. The chicken cooked with bhut jolokia is a must try to experience the spicy twist to chicken. The restaurant serves a large number of traditional specialities. Fish in banana leaf is the all time crowd favourite.
Desserts are a must to give a nice climax to the food experience. Apsoch- a Paradise signature sweet dish is the favourite dessert in this restaurant. It is a dish you must try before leaving the place. You also get to choose some nice Assamese beverage. Belor Sorbot is a must try. Kordoi sorbot, pudina sorbot and gul nemur sorbot are also equally loved.
The food is priced a bit on the higher side. But the exotic taste and rich culinary skills on the platter makes the price a true value for the money. If you don’t mind spending a bit more and want to have an experience of the rich Assamese cuisine, Parampara Paradise restaurant is a must visit for your next Guwahati trip. The warmth in hospitality and savoury flavours of the dishes will compel you to visit this place again and again.
Ever feel like having an Assamese Thali then this is the right place for it. Food is delicious and the quantity is good. You will just keep eating. plenty of variety in the menu aswell, and so many varieties in the non veg thali too. Try the food and guaranteed you will not regret.
My first restaurant experience in Assam and it was good. Enjoyed their ambiance and delicious preparations. Authentic Assameese thali, I went for the Mutton option, with great other accompaniments. The only missing thing is a faster service. I understand food takes time to prepare,but a glass of water shouldn't! The only area of improvement remains that. Otherwise,a must visit place of you're in Guwahati.
This was I believe my 50th plus visit to this legendary regional Assamese speciality restaurant, which our family has been patronising for the past 25 years plus and in my most recent visit, the same taste, portion size and service greeted us!
We went for the vegetarian vyanjan thali and added steamed fish in mustard cooked in banana leaves and fish slow smoked in bamboo hollow. This was the tastiest I had eaten in a few moons.
The vyanjan thali is an amalgamation of all regional favourites starting with Kharoli, kahudi, khorisa and the all time Assamese favourites khaar and aloo pitika.
The Tate still remains the same and this is perhaps why I visit every time I’m back in guwahati.
Service is absolutely fabulous and you are always greeted with smiles and courtesy.
Hope this place always stays the way it has been for years. An absolute must once you are in Guwahati.
We are from Bangalore and really wanted to try authentic Assamese thali. We were told to go to paradise restaurant. The veg parampara thali was really wonderful! I personally liked their dessert of puffed rice with jaggery syrup. The bamboo shoot chutney and panner steamed in banana leaf was also really nice. My friend had the non-veg pthali with duck, which she said was delicious
So this place has 3-4 floors, when you initially step in and see the ground floor it looks as if it's not open. Once you climb two floors, it's a whole another experience. Authentic assamese food as well as ambience at it's best. Food tastes great and the staff is friendly. I would say it's slightly on the expensive side but worth the experience. A meal for two could cost you around 1k.
Ps. They serve beer too
Went here for the food and were not disappointed. Had the mutton and chicken thali and it was delicious. Simple, homely and not too heavy on the pocket. The staff was very accommodating and the toilet was clean.
Tried their Assamese non veg thali. was a great way to try out varied dishes. I particularly liked the fish curry dish. Definitely worth a try
I was looking for an authentic Assamese restaurant and our guide suggested this restaurant. I was planning to go for the Parampara thali however I have pigeons as pets and can't think of eating them so I avoided that. I took the second option, non veg thali and it's awesome. It was less oily and felt very healthy yet tasty. Their ambiance is also nice. It's a very good option for a family lunch or dinner.
Me and my family went for lunch there. One of the places in Guwahati to get authentic Assamese food.
This is one of the places that ages like fine wine. I have been coming here since I was a kid, and the charm, food quality as well as the courteous staff never fail to impress me. If you're visiting the North East, this place is should be a must in your go to list.
Simply awesome.. It's a complete experience, the way they treat you, guide you for the right food choice and above all the authentic taste.. it's just fabulous. Any food enthusiastic shouldn't miss this place at any cost. Would love hop in again once in Guwahati. Keep it up, bid thumbs up 👍👍
Loved the ambience and the service. Lovely Assamese songs in the background. We got the parampara thali and it had duck meat, mutton, fish of 2 varieties, kheer, dal, pitika(aloo), bamboo, and more cooked in mustard oil. We paid rs. 650 for this and was worth it. We recommend going here.
We were visiting from Scotland and I need gluten free food. Were looking for breakfast and stumbled onto the aptly named paradise. The atmosphere was perfectly calm amongst the bustle of Guwahati. The service was impeccable and the amount of food was great. Had the vegetable thali and it was delicious. Only one thing in the platter I didn't try, though we think it was made of chickpea and not wheat. Highly recommend anyone looking for delicious food eat here. We went back and had lunch the next day. If i am ever in Guwahati again I will eat here!
One of the oldest and best restaurants serving authentic Assamese thalis. Whenever I am in town I make it a point to visit and relish their amazing food.
Decor wise it’s simple and more authentic Assamese touches can be added to further enhance the feels.
Went visited this place with our entire joint family.
It was a thali party. Since we were 20 of us, the service took a while.
Each of us got the classic Assamese thali.
The thali had every common household spread including fish and Khar.
All of them suited our taste buds, stomach and was very satisfying.
I hope they have upheld the same quality after 2021. If yes, we will visit again.
