Must Try Foods In Dehradun, Uttrakhand

Chilli Momos At Kalsang

This Kalsang branch in Dehradun is more spacious and grand in every way. The service is amazing and so is the ambiance, but the food is the highlight. Kalsang is an authentic Chinese and Tibetan joint, and pretty much everything it has to offer is worth trying, from thenthuk to thukpa, and fluffy Tibetan buns to sugary fruit beer. But the chilli momos are the best. Served in a thick, spicy gravy with bell pepper and shallots, the delicate momos are heavenly. Do not leave Dehradun without trying them.
