Lhasa Newar

Lhasa Newar stands out for bringing genuine Newari and Tibetan cooking to the table, a rarer find even within Gangtok's crowded food scene. The Newari and Tibetan thalis are the highlight, rich and comforting, while the hot chocolate and Tibetan platter also draw repeat mentions. The interior is decorated with authentic wall art and artifacts tied to Newar and Tibetan heritage, and the staff often share stories behind the dishes and decor. It sits a little further from the MG Marg strip, making it feel like a quieter, more considered stop rather than a passing visit.
