Luxmi Kitchen

Top choice in Northeast States


The last word in Manipuri lunch platters, ultrapopular Luxmi does a fabulous chakluk (thali) comprising more than a dozen local delicacies such as tangy fish stew, fried fish, leafy greens, sinju (a salad with cabbage, lotus stems and chillies), local dhals, iromba (fermented fish chutney) and ngapi (fermented shrimp paste). A meal here could well be one of the highlights of your Manipur trip.
