Best Tibetan Restaurant and Cafe in Majnu-ka-Tilla

Majnu-ka-Tilla is one of Delhi’s most interesting food neighbourhoods for Tibetan and Himalayan cuisine. The narrow lanes of New Aruna Colony and the Tibetan camps are packed with restaurants, cafés and small family-run kitchens where you can find everything from steaming thukpa and momos to tingmo, shapta, Tibetan tea, Asian noodles, coffee and modern café food.

But there is a difference between visiting Majnu-ka-Tilla for a quick plate of momos and actually exploring its food scene.

Some restaurants are best for authentic Tibetan food, some are better suited to cafés and long conversations, while others work particularly well for rooftop dining, groups, dates or an evening meal.

We checked current restaurant listings and available 2026 information to put together this guide to the best Tibetan restaurants and cafés in Majnu-ka-Tilla, Delhi. Prices below are approximate and can change with menu revisions, taxes, offers and delivery/dining platforms.

13. Makye Amay Tibet Kitchen

Makye Amay Tibet Kitchen is particularly interesting for visitors who want the Tibetan side of Majnu-ka-Tilla rather than a generic café menu.

A recent 2026 local food guide places it in the Old Camp and estimates around ₹700–₹1,000 for two. It describes the restaurant as a newer option with made-to-order Tibetan food.

14. Ama Café

AMA Cafe | Majnu Ka Tilla

4.5•Cafe•Open

Website•Directions•084489 94259

No Majnu-ka-Tilla food guide feels complete without mentioning Ama Café.

Ama is especially popular for breakfast, café food, coffee and the cosy Old Delhi-meets-Tibetan-Colony atmosphere.

Current business information lists the café at House No. 6, 1st Floor, New Aruna Colony, with timings around 7:30 AM–10:30 PM and prices ranging from roughly ₹200 upward depending on the order.

Best time to visit

Go in the morning if you're primarily interested in breakfast. For weekends and peak hours, expect the possibility of waiting.

Cuisine: Café, breakfast, Continental/Tibetan-influenced food
Price: Roughly ₹200–₹1,000 depending on order
Timings: 7:30 AM–10:30 PM
Phone: +91 84489 94259
Address: House No. 6, 1st Floor, New Aruna Colony

Best for: Breakfast, coffee, dates and Instagram-friendly café experiences.

15. Burko's

Burko's is among the names frequently associated with the Majnu-ka-Tilla food circuit, but current online information is not consistent enough to publish a definitive phone number, menu price or operating schedule without risking outdated information.

For a directory such as Crown Devour, it is better to show:

Cuisine: Tibetan/Asian-style food
Price: Verify current menu
Timings: Verify before visiting
Reservation: Call outlet directly if available
Best for: Casual Tibetan/Asian dining

This is one of the restaurants where Crown Devour should ideally maintain the information dynamically rather than hard-code a potentially outdated phone number.

16. Shagun Restaurant

There are several restaurants using the name Shagun Restaurant in Delhi, and current business listings do not provide sufficiently strong evidence that the Shagun Restaurant in your supplied list is the Majnu-ka-Tilla outlet.

Therefore, I would not publish a phone number or exact price against this name until the outlet identity is confirmed.

For the Crown Devour page:

Cuisine: Verify current outlet
Price: Verify
Timings: Verify
Reservation: Verify
Location: Majnu-ka-Tilla listing should be confirmed before publishing

This prevents Google users from being sent to a completely different Shagun Restaurant.

17. Lotus House Restaurant

Lotus House Restaurant appears in older Majnu-ka-Tilla restaurant lists, but I could not establish sufficiently reliable current 2026 information for its phone number, timings and menu price.

For that reason:

Cuisine: Verify current listing
Price: Verify
Timings: Verify
Reservation: Verify before visiting

If Crown Devour has an existing restaurant record for Lotus House, I recommend checking its address + Google Maps URL + phone number against the latest listing before publishing it as an active restaurant.

18. Super Laughing

Super Laughing is another name that appears in Majnu-ka-Tilla food searches, but current authoritative information for the exact outlet is insufficient to safely publish a phone number, price and timing.

Cuisine: Tibetan/Asian-style food
Price: Verify
Timings: Verify
Reservation: Verify

Again, this is preferable to putting an old number on the page simply to fill the information card.

What Should You Eat in Majnu-ka-Tilla?

If this is your first Tibetan food experience, don't order only momos.

Tibetan cuisine has much more to offer.

1. Momos

Momos are obviously the easiest starting point.

Try:

• Steamed momos
• Fried momos
• Kothey momos
• Chicken momos
• Pork momos
• Devil momos

Rigo's Devil Chicken Momos are particularly prominent in current restaurant listings.

2. Thukpa

Thukpa is a Tibetan noodle soup that works especially well during Delhi's colder months.

Look for:

• Vegetable thukpa
• Chicken thukpa
• Pork thukpa
• Mixed Tibetan-style noodle soups

For a genuine Majnu-ka-Tilla food experience, a bowl of thukpa followed by momos is one of the simplest combinations to start with.

3. Tingmo

Tingmo is a steamed Tibetan bread commonly served with meat or vegetable preparations.

It isn't as internationally recognizable as momos, but it is one of the dishes worth trying if you want something closer to a traditional Tibetan meal.

Rigo and Himalayan Restaurant both currently highlight tingmo among their popular dishes.

4. Shapta

Shapta is another dish worth seeking out.

It generally features thinly sliced meat cooked with vegetables and spices, making it considerably different from the typical momo-and-noodles order.

If you're trying Tibetan cuisine for the first time, ask the restaurant which version of shapta is currently available.

5. Laphing

For something completely different, try laphing.

This cold, spicy Tibetan noodle/snack has become extremely popular around Delhi's Tibetan food neighbourhoods.

It's particularly good for people who enjoy:

• chilli
• garlic
• sesame
• spicy sauces
• chewy textures

Majnu-ka-Tilla has several small street-food counters where laphing is available in addition to full-service restaurants.

Best Majnu-ka-Tilla Restaurants by Type

🥟 Best for Traditional Tibetan Food

Rigo Restaurant
Makye Amay Tibet Kitchen
Himalayan Restaurant

These are better starting points if your main objective is Tibetan rather than generic café food.

☕ Best for Café & Breakfast

Ama Café
Wongdhen Cafe
Signature Cafe
Potala Cafe

Ama is especially suited to an early breakfast, while Wongdhen and Signature offer much broader menus.

🌆 Best for Rooftop Dining

Kurama The Rooftop Cafe & Restaurant
Himalayan Restaurant
Signature Cafe

These are better choices when ambience and seating are as important as the food.

💑 Best for a Date

Living Room by Kalsang

Wongdhen Cafe
Signature Cafe

For a date, I would prioritise seating and ambience over finding the cheapest momo plate.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Best for Groups

Living Room by Kalsang
Rigo Restaurant
Himalayan Restaurant
Kunga Cafe

Larger restaurants are generally easier for groups than the tiny Tibetan cafés tucked into the lanes.

💰 Best for Budget Food

Sumo Restaurant
Waho Tenzin
Sikkim Restaurant
Potala Cafe

Current listings place these roughly in the ₹700–₹800-for-two range, although actual spending depends on the number of dishes and drinks.

🍸 Best for Evening Hangout

Bar-Khor
Wongdhen Cafe
Kurama

Bar-Khor is particularly suited to a more nightlife-oriented evening, with a full bar listed among its facilities.

How Much Does Food Cost in Majnu-ka-Tilla?

Majnu-ka-Tilla can work for almost every budget.

Budget visit

₹300–₹500 per person

You can usually manage momos, thukpa, laphing, noodles or smaller dishes without choosing an expensive café.

Comfortable meal

₹500–₹750 per person

This is a realistic range for a proper meal with a couple of dishes and a drink at many mid-range restaurants.

Premium café/restaurant

₹750–₹1,000+ per person

Places such as Living Room by Kalsang, Rigo, Bar-Khor and some rooftop cafés can move into this range depending on what you order.

For reference, current listings show Rigo around ₹1,200 for two, Living Room by Kalsang around ₹1,100–₹1,300, Himalayan Restaurant around ₹1,100, Kurama around ₹1,000 and Wongdhen around ₹1,000.

Do You Need a Reservation in Majnu-ka-Tilla?

For small Tibetan cafés and casual restaurants, walking in is usually the easiest option.

However, reservations become more useful when:

• You're visiting with 6+ people
• You want rooftop seating
• You're planning a weekend dinner
• You're visiting during a festival/holiday
• You're celebrating a birthday
• You specifically want a particular table

Restaurants such as Rigo, Living Room by Kalsang, Himalayan Restaurant, Signature Cafe and other larger venues have online booking/listing infrastructure, while many smaller Tibetan kitchens operate more traditionally.

Important: A restaurant's listed phone number is not necessarily a dedicated reservation line. Call and confirm the table, especially for weekend evenings.

Best Time to Visit Majnu-ka-Tilla for Food

Morning: 8 AM–11 AM

Best for:

• Ama Café
• Wongdhen Cafe
• Kunga Cafe
• Potala Cafe
• Waho Tenzin

This is the calmer period for breakfast and coffee.

Lunch: 12 PM–3 PM

This is one of the best periods for serious Tibetan food.

Try:

Rigo → Himalayan Restaurant → Makye Amay → Kunga

Evening: 5 PM–9 PM

This is when Majnu-ka-Tilla becomes much more atmospheric.

The cafés fill up, the lanes become livelier and rooftop restaurants become particularly attractive.

For evening:

Kurama → Living Room by Kalsang → Wongdhen → Bar-Khor

How to Spend One Food-Focused Day in Majnu-ka-Tilla

If you want to turn your visit into a proper Tibetan food trail, don't eat a full meal at every restaurant.

Instead:

Stop 1 — Breakfast

Ama Café

Have coffee/breakfast and explore the Tibetan Colony.

Stop 2 — Street Food

Walk through the lanes and try:

Laphing + a small plate of momos

Stop 3 — Tibetan Lunch

Choose:

Rigo or Himalayan Restaurant

Order:

Momos + tingmo + thukpa

Stop 4 — Café Break

Go to:

Wongdhen Cafe

Have coffee, dessert or another drink.

Stop 5 — Sunset / Evening

Choose:

Kurama

for rooftop dining or:

Bar-Khor

for a more energetic evening.

This gives you a much better experience than simply visiting one restaurant and leaving.

Which is the best Tibetan restaurant in Majnu-ka-Tilla?

Rigo, Himalayan Restaurant and several of the smaller Tibetan kitchens are good places to explore momos. Rigo's Devil Chicken Momo is specifically highlighted in current listings.

Which is the cheapest restaurant in Majnu-ka-Tilla?

Among the restaurants in this list, Sumo, Waho Tenzin, Sikkim Restaurant and Potala Cafe are among the more affordable options based on current approximate costs.

Is Ama Café worth visiting?

Yes, particularly if you're interested in breakfast, coffee and the café atmosphere rather than strictly traditional Tibetan food.

Is Majnu-ka-Tilla good for couples?

Yes. Cafés and rooftop restaurants make the area suitable for casual dates. Living Room by Kalsang, Kurama, Wongdhen Cafe and Signature Cafe are better suited to a date than very small traditional Tibetan eateries.

Is Majnu-ka-Tilla expensive?

Yes. Most of the larger restaurants have vegetarian dishes, and cafés generally offer vegetarian noodles, momos, pasta, sandwiches and other options.

What should I eat first in Majnu-ka-Tilla?

For a first visit, try:

Momos → Thukpa → Tingmo → Shapta → Laphing → Tibetan tea.

That gives you a much better introduction to the area's food than ordering only standard chilli momos.

Final Verdict

Majnu-ka-Tilla isn't simply a place to go for cheap momos anymore. Its food scene now ranges from traditional Tibetan kitchens and family-run restaurants to Asian cafés, rooftop restaurants and modern dining spaces.

If you have only one meal, choose Rigo or Himalayan Restaurant.

If you want a comfortable restaurant for a group, choose Living Room by Kalsang.

If you want a rooftop experience, choose Kurama.

If you want breakfast and café ambience, choose Ama Café.

If you want a broader Asian menu, try Wongdhen Cafe.

And if you want the more traditional side of Tibetan food, explore Makye Amay and the smaller Old Camp eateries rather than limiting yourself to the most Instagram-famous cafés.

The best part of Majnu-ka-Tilla is that you don't have to choose just one style. Spend an afternoon walking through the lanes, eat something traditional, stop for coffee, and finish the evening on a rooftop. That's the experience that makes this corner of Delhi different from an ordinary restaurant-hopping trip.
