Yo Tibet
In 2008, Sonam Lhamo Bhutia and her husband opened Yo Tibet in Humayunpur, one of the neighborhood’s first eateries. It has since turned it into a staple of the local food scene. While the menu features Indian-Chinese favorites it’s the Tibetan classics that steal the show. We went for the laphing - a spicy, cold noodle dish that’s become a local favorite. Yo Tibet isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a slice of Tibetan culture in the heart of Delhi.
Lha Kitchen
In 2018, Dickey Bhutia opened Lha Kitchen. This Himalayan restaurant specializes in Nepalese, Bhutanese, Chinese, and Tibetan cuisines. We went for the dry Thukpa and the Kothey Momos.
Oh Assam
Oh! Assam offers cozy, home-style Assamese cuisine. Opened by home-chef Rubita ‘Ruby’ Brahma in 2017, it's known for its wholesome thalis, we came for the Duck curry, the Pork with Lai Shaak and the incredible tart Fish Tenga.
Hornbill
For rustic Naga food, Hornbill is the spot. Founded in 2015 by Khevito Elvis Lee and friends it’s all about bold Naga flavors. The standout dish is smoked pork with bamboo shoot and axone, and the Pork and beans salad. Another must try is the crunchy pork belly.

Now, this is what I call a food vlog….Man o man NorthEast food gems are so underrated. Everything looks magical. Instead of diverting to western food just travel to North-East....recipe changes in every up and down of the hill. As a foodie just loved this one. Amazing, mouth-watering. Hats off to you two because you were open to a different palate of taste altogether. One of the best video really satisfying both of you really enjoying. Love to the north east people and the cuisine.

[@TheBigForkers]

Much love to you for taking the time to write this comment. Collectively we should address these cusines to a wider audience

The fun thing is, Humayunpur is mainly well known among the students here in Delhi. It's fairly affordable and just great food. Majnu Ka Tila also has the same vibe, being a Tibetan settlement. You'll find Aunties making laphing just outside the monastery, and the restaurants are also damn good and always inexpensive. I love these places as much as any fancy restaurant you could go in Delhi :) Loved that you had a great day there.

[@TheBigForkers]

It's such a gem

One of the ingredient that goes into making Laphing "Wai Wai" is a product of Nepal. How can it be a Tibetian dish?

[@TheBigForkers]

Laphin actually comes from Liangfeng, of Chinese origin. Wai Wai is not an ingredient, its an additional topping. Food doesnt always have political boundaries and the addition of of Wai Wai is an example of such fun versions across the regions.

[@TheBigForkers]

That is so true, and we are cognizant of that, but that's how the food is served. 100% agree with the sentiment

[@Arnab013]

​@@TheBigForkers always followed u for your knowledge about different cuisines (South asian). Was disappointed to notice, u added Tibet in NE (being part of india).

[@TheBigForkers]

We added Tibet, because the place is called Tibet, and serves Tibetan food. We also showed the map to add context to the food being from Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and the Seven sisters + 1 brother.

[@bardisnice]

​@@Arnab013 north east also comprises of the state of arunachal and sikkim. The western part of arunachal called west Kameng district has a significant tibetan influence and similar influence in sikkim. So tibetan cuisine is definitely a part of the north east cuisine though not geographically or politically but definitely due to cultural influences. If you want to pick and choose we can go over the cultural and food history of the north east.
