About 7km north of central Siliguri, this brightly coloured Tibetan-style monastery is crowned with an imposing 30m tall chorten (Tibetan-style stupa).

Salugara Monastery

Trusted and air-conditioned Amber, attached to Hotel Saluja Residency, serves mouthwatering dishes, including fluffy naans, lip-smacking curries, tender meat dishes and subtly flavoured biryanis that go down extremely well with the city's food lovers. Plenty of alcoholic drinks too; evenings are especially buzzy here. It's 1.5km south of the Central Bus Terminus.

Amber

Around The Corner does Western food as well as any restaurant north of Kolkata. The pasta is European-standard, or you could go for pork steaks, fish and chips, burgers, grilled prawns or apple pie with ice cream. With 10 tables, low lighting and Western rock music, it's also a place you can just come for a drink (beer from ₹150).

Around the Corner

The secluded garden here offers merciful relief from the thunderous Hill Cart Rd chaos. The extensive menu ranges from fine curries and naan (tandoor-cooked flat bread) to Mumbai street snacks, with plenty of hearty vegetarian options and kulfi (flavoured, firm-textured ice cream).

Khana Khajana

This sophisticated (for Siliguri) eatery, 1.5km south of the Central Bus Terminus, boasts a huge range of first-rate North Indian tandooris and curries, some decent Continental sizzlers and top-notch service, including a smart, very amiable doorman. It's also a good place for a cold beer or other alcoholic drinks.

WORLD

The crowded and noisy transport hub Siliguri is the main jumping-off point for Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Sikkim, and Bhutan, eastern Nepal and India's Northeast States can also be accessed from here. Despite being one of West Bengal's largest cities, Siliguri has very little to detain you except transport connections.
