Saraswati Sweet & Restaurant

Uttarakhand


This busy place with upstairs tables quickly dishes up veg and nonveg momos (Tibetan dumplings; half/full plate ₹20/40) and other Tibetan food, along with Chinese. The thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup; half/full bowl ₹30/60) is spicy enough to clear your sinuses. Many items aren't available until around 10am. It also has tempting bal mithai (fudge coated in sugar balls).
