If I say I love this place, that would be a massive understatement. Everytime I go to Darjeeling, I go to this place and come away happy and lost in my tastebuds. Lots of people have waxed lyrical about this place and I am pretty darn sure lots more will do so again. But I just want to add my... More

Small, cosy, and friendly. Everything we tried was good but I especially liked all the different thukpa, especially the ones with homemade noodles. If it's full, it's worth waiting a bit for a table.

The momos, the thukpa, the shabbaleys - you name it and they produce it steaming hot and wonderful to taste. The family run business has been one of our favourite destinations in Darjeeling over the years. You will always leave with a smile on your face.

Kunga Restaurant is a small, simple, no fuss eatery which serves a good variety of delicious Tibetian food. We ate lunch at Kunga twice and enjoyed the thenthuk (veg or non-veg noodle soup), momos (fried or steamed dumplings) and thukpa bhathuk (think Italian gnocchi in soup). Very good value for money and excellent location on Ghandi Road which is a... More

I visited the place very recently. I had ordered for a plate of momos, fried rice and a chicken manchurian. The food was bland, with loads of garlic and no salt. I would recommend anyone visiting the Kunga, to re-consider their options and instead head to Dekevas, where the food is way better.

small place, a tad cramped, but offers great value for money and tasty momos. It is right next to the mall and is run by a family, always have a queue of people waiting to be accomodated! Food is good but not delightful and extraordinary, may visit while on way to the mall

Had visited Kunga Restaurant after going through the reviews in TripAdvisor. Since the same had been ranking in number 2 in the list of popular and highly recommended restaurants of Darjeeling - our expectations were high. Unfortunately, our experience did not match to our expectations. Since the taste of food found was bland - I understand the said Restaurant is... More

Have been to Darjeeling several times and this is a fantastic new discovery! A very small and intimate restaurant with some of the best food! The Vegie Thenthuk is amazing and all food is reasonably priced. Didn't have time to eat our momo's in the restaurant so they were packed into a takeaway container and we ate them in Ghoom... More
