Had an absolutely amazing time here. The food was delicious, the quantity was great, and the drinks were comforting. The seating is spacious and comfortable, the place is clean, and the people are friendly. Great food, great service, must-visit if you're in town

One of the best breakfasts served in Darjeeling despite its tiny size. It has a homely atmosphere created by its owners who personally cook for you serve you delicious and sumptuous meal at a reasonable price. It already a very popular joint for the Indian...tourists especially working youngsters. A short and concise menu of one page is easy to choose from and lives up to its expectations.More

Sonam's Kitchen is very close to Mall , Darjeeling. They serve continental breakfast. Menu is quite simple. But it is worth mentioning that the fluffy omelets with a choice of cheese, tomato beacon pcs ; hash brown - crispy, crunchy and enormous (a plateful size)...are very tasty and memorable. Their clients are mainly foreigners and Indians, tired of eating alu paratha and puri-bhaji.More

Every time I am in Darjeeling I ensure I have chance to go to Sonams kitchen. I have been going for many years now and the service and food quality have not change - they are still great! This time I went for lunch and...breakfast as part of my visit. Their pancakes are wonderful and they make the best hash browns around! Sonam and her staff are so knowledgable and friendly you have have a wonderful chat whilst you eat. Overall a brilliant place to eat good food, connect with people and relax!!More

A small bit a really cosy and hospitable place. Sonam di is probably one of the first people to serve homemade delicious hashbrowns in Darj, and that you won’t be disappointed. The other ones not to miss trying are the banana pancake with nuts and...ginger honey lemon green tea - it does have a special ingredient (I believe). They are all made to order so please be patient, so you can enjoy one of the most “delish” breakfast in town. Probably much healthier, tasty, less oily with two superb hosts - Puran and Sonam.

Sonam's Kitchen is one of the best places for authentic continental cuisine. It is the best place for hash brown and pan cake. They use fresh bread and cheese for making their signature lip smacking breakfast. Visiting Darjeeling will always remain incomplete, if one does...not have his breakfast here. Their honey lemon ginger tea is a must try !!More

Sonam's Kitchen is a must try in Darjeeling who love continental breakfast. It's a small cosy food joint easy to locate, 2 minutes from Darjeeling Mall road crossing horse stable. Hashbrown Bread Tomatos with Scrambled Eggs Cheese Honey combined not only fill ur stomach but...also give immense satisfaction to ur tastebuds and hygienic too. Banana Honey Nut PanCake is also a must try along with lemon ginger tea in a cold day. Don't forget to check her collection of books while waiting for breakfast preparation and listen her native song while she prepares ur lip-smacking breakfast.More
