Sonam's Kitchen
सोनामको किचन
A small family-run eatery near Chowrasta that ranks high on review lists, famous for its freshly made breakfasts and pancakes.
Located at 142 Zakir Hussain Road, near the TV Tower, about a three- to four-minute uphill walk from Chowrasta. The shop is small and cozy, personally run and cooked by the owner, and has long held a top spot on Tripadvisor for Darjeeling. Signature dishes include chocolate banana pancakes, Eggs Benedict, and hash browns, along with freshly brewed coffee. The average cost is about 250–450 INR per person. Since everything is made to order, the service can be slow, making it suitable for a leisurely breakfast rather than a rushed itinerary. Most sources show that it is only open until around 2:00 PM, so please confirm before heading there in the afternoon.
Opening hours
Approx. 8:00–14:00, dinner hours subject to the shop
