"Glenary's on Mall Road is one of those places that earns its reputation. Sat by the window with Darjeeling tea and eggs at 8 AM with the hills in the mist outside. That breakfast stays with you."

"Keventers near Chowrasta is the real deal for breakfast in Darjeeling. The sausages are made in-house and the rooftop view of the Kanchenjunga range on a clear morning is something I wasn't prepared for."

"Gang Jong has been around for over a hundred years and the Chicken Taipho shows why. One giant steamed momo filled with meat and onions — it's a full meal on its own. Nothing like the regular momos you get elsewhere in Darjeeling."

"Tiger Hill at 4 AM is freezing and the momo stall there is the only thing keeping you warm while you wait for the sunrise. Simple dumplings, spicy chutney, Kanchenjunga turning gold in the distance."

"Kunga near Gandhi Road is where you eat if you want actual Tibetan food in Darjeeling, not the tourist version. The Fing noodles are unlike anything I'd had before. Closes at 6 PM so plan your lunch accordingly."

"Kathmandu Kitchen in Darjeeling town is where I had the best dinner of the trip. Pork sekuwa grilled right, gundruk chutney on the side — the Nepali flavors here are distinct and the portions are generous."

"JOJO in Fufufatak is a local spot that most tourists miss. The Wai Wai Mimi with spicy potato curry is comfort food at its best. Small place, no frills, but the food is honest and the portions are filling."

"Santa Banta Dhaba is a solid dinner option in Darjeeling when you want something warm and filling. The thukpa was good but the wait was longer than expected on a weekend — about 25 minutes for a table."

"Picked up Lopchu Peda from Mukhiya on the road to Tinchuley. The khoya sweet has a firm, slightly grainy texture that's different from regular peda. Bought a box as a takeaway from Darjeeling and it lasted two days."

"The Tinchuley viewpoint stall is basic — a chulha, a pot, and a view of the mountains. The Maggi took a while and the tea was slightly too sweet. But sitting there with Kanchenjunga in front of you makes it hard to complain much."
