This Pelling traveller classic creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere at night with candles and colourful, half-lit globe lamps; by day the balcony has great views towards the (distant) Chenrezig Statue. The menu has Indian, Chinese and Tibetan selections, with a standout the chicken taipoo – a delicious, fist-sized, filled steamed bun.
