Taste of Sikkim

Sikkim


Decorated with black-and-white travel prints, Taste of Sikkim is predominantly a small but agreeable bar, though the momos (filled dumplings) are unusually excellent and the fried rice dishes are a great accompaniment to glasses of Madeira-like Sailo wine.

It's right at the main junction between Kookay and the 10zing Hotel.
