Gangtok's food scene reflects the city's ethnic mix. Nepali dal bhat (lentils and rice) is the staple, Tibetan momos (dumplings) are everywhere, and thukpa (noodle soup) is the thing to eat on a cold evening. A few restaurants along MG Road offer proper Sikkimese food, which makes interesting use of bamboo shoots, ferns, and fermented ingredients not found elsewhere in India.
