Paradise

Paradise is one of the oldest restaurants in Guwahati, an iconic restaurant that has served perhaps generations of the same family and made each one of them come back for more. Paradise is often credited for bringing traditional Assamese cuisine into the mainstream. One will always find it crowded despite its two-floored seating area. Decorated with traditional bamboo items and regional objects, it has an atmosphere of simplicity which represents the lifestyle followed by the Assamese people. The thali (full meal) is the most famous offering they have, order it to understand the rich flavours of Assamese food.

Tucked inside the Dynasty Hotel, dining at Tandoor is a regal experience. Tandoor is well known; it’s long established and hasn’t dropped its level of service and the quality of its food. The food is mainly North Indian with some Assamese dishes available. There is beautiful artwork on the walls along with well-cushioned sofas and tables, and servers are dressed immaculately in Mughal uniforms. If this wasn’t enough, the soft Indian music played in the background takes the whole experience up a notch making it a grand affair.

Red Hot Chilli Pepper
