Sonam's Kitchen

The best breakfast in Darjeeling. Run by a lovely couple who make it feel like you’re having breakfast at home. So warm and welcoming. We went back every morning. The set breakfast and porridge were great and they catered for slight changes to the menu items. Highly recommended!

Hidden gem in Darjeeling. The breakfast platter was freshly made and so fulfilling. Hashbrown was topnotch and tomatoes was too juicy. Best one I ever had so far. Instead of Kaventer's we went there for 2days. No line ,no hustle bustle, such a calm and peaceful little place to have your morning Chai and hot breakfats.

One of the best breakfast place is Darjeeling. This is situated at a walking distance from Mall road, just opposite Tom and Jerry Cafe.

This place doesn't serve meat, but eggs. The shop is managed by one couple, who are pretty great with service as well as communications. They have the amazing toast, fried eggs, Nepalese cheese, hasbrowns, pan cakes and most importantly amazing filter coffee. Only thing is they don't have any meat items when we visited last time. However the food here is far better than other bigger names in Darjeeling. It's a must must try. One wont be disappointed for sure.

Delicious food and the lady over there was so polite. I will highly recommend to have breakfast from Sonam's Kitchen. Fresh food and tasty.

It's quite a hassle to navigate to the restaurant since it's located on a narrow and steep alley.
We had read so many praises about this joint on Google Maps that we took the effort to travel here.

The place is managed by a wife-husband duo. Both of them are quite wholesome and welcoming.

The items ordered are made fresh from scratch, so the waiting time is longer than most other restaurants.

We ordered hash browns, fried eggs, cheese omelette, scrambled eggs, and a pancake with banana and honey.

The hash brown was quite crispy and tasty. Fried eggs, omelette, and scrambled eggs were as expected.

The pancake was huge, with generous amounts of sliced bananas and honey on top. It was extremely soft, and tasted very nice! Probably one of the best pancakes I've ever had.

The pocket pinch was economical.

The lady (who is also the chef) took time to sit and chat with us, since it was raining that day and she didn't have many customers to serve yet.

The overall experience was great. Highly recommended!

Hands down the best breakfast in Darjeeling… maybe even India! Sonam’s humble kitchen makes (in my opinion) the most delicious hash brown and black coffee. On top of this Sonam and Puran are lovely warm hearted hosts. A must visit if you’re hungry in Darjeeling 🙏🏻

This small restaurant is family run by Ms Sonam. Had breakfast with Coffee. Taste is super. Non veg is not available except for eggs. But the food is prepared with lot of love and heart. Ingredients are sourced mostly locally and tastes great. This is a place where you unwind and have good food.

Amazing place! We had a bit of a delay on food as it was busy but so worth the wait. Banana pancake was delicious, best hash brown ever and lovely fluffy omelette. The guys working here were very friendly and hospitable. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Darjeeling

Really good breakfast in Darjeeling! Really friendly staff and really tasty food. The porridge was delicious, the people around me had the set breakfasts and it looked amazing! Highly recommend this place for breakfast with a lovely atmosphere

Had the best pancake ever. Coffee was also great. Lovely folks. They don't serve meat.

This is one of the best places to have English breakfast, ginger tea, pan cakes and many more. What a wonderful service from the owner itself and the food..is to die for..!!

Excellent place to have freshly made breakfast, I loved it and visited twice in my three days of stay in Darjeeling.

lovely cafe with a warm and cosy atmosphere. the food is so delicious and fresh and the staff are so friendly and welcoming! would recommend :)

A lesser known gem in Darjeeling.
Drop in for a special breakfast menu built around Hashbrowns, Eggs, Pancakes and Coffee.
The owners cook themselves and serve you with utmost care and love. And I even had a hearty chat with them.

Please note: They don't serve sausages, bacons, aloo parathas or kachoris. More reasons why this kitchen is so unique and has its own charm.

The Hospitality was immense, The owner &:the staffs are too caring.& Moreover the Food was sumptuous enough. Mix veg omlette & pancake with Banana honey & nuts both were treats to our palate.

Sonam’s kitchen is THE place for breakfast in Darjeeling - her honey, ginger and lemon is super fiery and warming and she makes some of the best porridge and fried tomatoes I’ve ever eaten. Plus there’s a heater, need I say more?

One of the very fine cafe I have ever been to, this place is perfect in many sense hosts uncle and Aunty are amazing people and very polite.
I had omelette and pan cake here and both were really delicious. Cafe is a beautiful place and near mall area makes it easily accessible.
Totally loved the place, I recommend to come here when in Darjeeling ❤

Food Taste is awesome. Service is good. Aunty and uncle's behaviour was also good. Must try pancakes. It was an awesome experience.

Did anyone say best pancakes in the world ?
Sorry I heard Sonam’s Kitchen , this beautiful low key cafe located in my fav quaint town of Darjeeling is a traveler's paradise … amazing breakfast , sumptuous spreads , authentic hash browns and yes mouth watering pancakes , Sonam’s Kitchen isn’t just a cafe for me , it’s an experience and one important reason why I keep coming back here every year … such homely ambience and the friendly smile with which Sonam greets us … truly the home away from home for me

Best place ever to have an English Breakfast. In this world of restaurants, where people served you frozen curries and lentils cooked 2 days ago, here you get fresh food. The chef makes the order one at a time in sequence of order and though you wait for your turn, the outcome is worth it. Wonderful tasty food.
