Apart
from being the best tourist destination, Darjeeling is also renowned
for its food and wine especially momos and tongbas respectively.
"Momos drive the tourists nuts" is the phrase heard from
restaurant owners who sell momos. Momos found in Nepal are not momos,
but momochas which is totally different from the momos found in
Darjeeling. Darjeeling momos are exceptionally mouth watering and
the locals say that no one can have just one, but more and more.

Tongba
or local beer is not only popular among the locals but tourists
as well. These local beers are not readily available everywhere,
but in special restaurants as Hot Stimulating Cafe near Shrubbery
Park. Tongbas consume a lot of time to drink because the juice from
the ingredients has to seep into the water which is poured from
top. Its taste can only be felt when one drinks it and the best
of all, it is said to be 100% free alcohol.
