Anytime is a good time to indulge in a feast of momos, soups, and chow mein. No matter how much our taste buds crave the chatpata street stall version of these yummy dishes, only the authentic flavours can truly satiate our cravings. Nestled in the  Suburban Hospital Road, you can spot Tibetan Delight in a narrow passageway. The doors to this Kolkata eatery opened long back in the late 80s. You can still experience its rustic charm and decades-old vibes during your visit here.

Decked up with dim lights, the interiors have beautifully preserved the decades-old aura. In the era of aesthetic and photo-appropriate cafes and restaurants, you will find simple wooden tables and red plastic chairs here. To add to the decor and beautify the place, there are some frames and large wall fans.

You will find momo stalls and shops selling so-called authentic Tibetan and Chinese delicacies probably in every other corner of the city. But why is Tibetan Delight still a popular hotspot in between so many new and glammed-up establishments?

The ambience does not really matter to that extent if we get to taste the real flavours of our favourite cuisines. In between the dim setup, foodies from different parts of Kolkata and neighbouring places visit here just to enjoy that traditional taste and immerse in the original flavours.
