B
Beatrix
Upbeat and cartoon-walled, Beatrix is just a peg above a student-style hangout. Its eclectic menu offers fish and chips, momos (Tibetan dumplings), Hakka Chow and a mysterious ‘con est soir’. It’s on Manik Chandra (MC) Rd.

Khorika Restaurant
Named after the Assamese khorika (barbecued dishes), this restaurant may be canteen-style but it has authentic Assamese cuisine. For the whole hog share the sample-everything khorika (Rs. 500) with friends.

C
Broadway
A no-nonsense restaurant serving the usual mix of Indian and Chinese meals, although staff here have taken that literally with bi-cultural offerings such as paneer Szechwan (unfermented cheese in a Chinese chilli sauce).

Ginger Restaurant
Sink into cream-leather seating and enjoy a break from Indian fare with pasta, crepes, cannelloni, stroganoff or just a fruit sundae at Ginger Restaurant. Attached is the futuristic, metal-panelled bar Platinum, and a faux– British pub. PS: Early closing is a government restriction.

Chat House
The modern glass tower Baliram Building, on the corner of Naren Bose (NB) and NC/SC Rds, contains several floors of good dining. The rooftop Chat House has an open-sided, but roofed, terrace for cooling breezes, good views, Indian snacks, noodles, pizzas and momos.

Sangai Restaurant
The dining room doesn't look special but ask for the 'local' menu and choose from Guwahati's best selection of Manipuri specialities. Try Erongba (jackfruit-kernel chutney) with Nga-Thongba (fish and ginger curry) on chakhao (black Manipuri rice).

Paradise
Well known for its authentic Assamese cuisine, its thali is the best way to get a lot of small tasters. Assamese food is not a lip tingler like typical Indian food and for some this cuisine can seem rather bland, but it’s the subtleties you’re after rather than the heat.

Delicacy
Tucked beneath a repulsive overpass junction, the odd location is far from central but worth the trek for Guwahati's very best selection of northeastern cuisine styles. There are almost a dozen types of rice alone. Take buses 1, 2, 3 or 21 from near the museum.

Restaurant Kurry Klub
Very tasty food served in a small dining room whose decor would be rather striking if only the lighting was improved. If you’re staying in the Hotel [Hotel Welcome Palace] , room service is faster and beers can be acquired.

Tandoori
Majestic North Indian cuisine served at stylish low tables by waiters in Mughal uniforms accompanied by gentle live tabla music. The prawn dishes, yes a little expensive, are delightful.

Sagar Ratna
This sparkling, modern chain-restaurant specialises in vegetarian Indian food. Big windows, wickedly delicious coconut dosas and good air-con justify slightly elevated prices.
