Needless to say, the menu, which offers a plethora of Himalayan favourites, is for every and any pork lover. The non-veg section features sliced pork with vegetables, pork lemon fried, crispy pork and honey, masala pork, pork with green peppers, fried dried thukpa (egg/pork/chicken and buff). There’s also an assortment of momos ranging from Yeti kothe special momo, newari momo cha, shabalay (a Tibetan meat filled deep fried pie), to name a few. The menu even has an elabourate variety of noodles and veg options as well, gundruk dadeko (sun dried green leaves tossed in traditional spices) and piro aloo (Darjeeling style cumin garlic and turmeric spicy potatoes).

Pork momos

We tried the pork fried rice (Rs 255), pork momo (Rs 275) and a Bhutanese chicken gravy, sha datchi (Rs 375). We were hoping to get by a hectic Saturday afternoon at work, and so, deliberately chose to order light. But the portions were generous, more than enough to feed two very hungry people. Our order came packed in 100 per cent biodegradable packaging—eco-friendly, check. 

Sha datchi is a Bhutanese chicken dish cooked in a creamy cheese curry, and best paired with tingmo, a steamed Tibetan bun that looks like a bread roll. Let’s just say that this dish reminded us of cream cheese pasta, just that it’s not. The flavourful curry is not the ideal Indian gravy that we are otherwise used to. This one is thick, cheesy, warm and uplifting with diced chunks of chicken and bell peppers—it is the kind of comfort food that takes getting used to. The bun was soft and chewy, and when dipped in the gravy, melted immediately. But, this is a dish, we’d suggest having warm and fresh. The consistency of the gravy thickened after a while, and gluttonous as we were, we ate it, but it wasn’t as delicious when cold.

The pork fried rice was filling. We’re a huge fan of choris pulao, but this is nothing like it. The rice is sautéed with spring onions, and tiny dices of pork; and while it may seem too bland, it came with two different sauces, which loaded the dish with a lot of spice and flavour. The skin of the pork momos were nicely translucent, not starchy in texture, and was packed with and packed with freshly cooked meat.

We enjoyed this Himalayan meal, and it came just a week before an impending trip to the mountains up north. It was like a new home calling us,  first through its food.
