Nimtho Sikkimese Restaurant
Nimtho
A popular restaurant serving local Sikkimese and Nepali dishes. The Sikkimese and Thakali set meals are the top choice for home-style flavors.
Upstairs in the New Market area near MG Marg, founded by Binita Chamling, who wants visitors to try Sikkimese home cooking beyond momos and thukpa. The signatures are the Sikkimese pork set and the Thakali lamb set, which come with rice, dal soup, local wild greens, mushrooms, cheese and several tangy chili pickles. The restaurant also serves tongba, a millet drink in a bamboo vessel. Plenty of vegetarian choices. It is crowded at mealtimes, with slow service and many stairs, so it is inconvenient for the elderly. About 400-700 rupees per person; a short walk from the pedestrian street.
Opening hours
