We've Hunted Down 5 Awesome Places Serving Laphing For Rs 40 @ Majnu Ka Tilla For Y'All

Majnu Ka Tilla is the go-to place for everyone who cannot go to Tibet but wants to experience its cuisine and culture. It’s a little Tibet in itself with absolutely authentic food and well preserved culture, but in Delhi. We’re dedicating this piece to laphing, a popular spicy Tibetan street dish usually made from cold mung bean or potato starch with ghee, soyabean/white flour filling along with a spice masala sauce. Delish, flavoursome and super cheap, laphing says Tibet like nothing else! 

We’ve put together a list of five places where you can enjoy a nice bowl of Laphing @Rs. 40 each!

1. Tenzing Aunty’s

In front of the Buddhist Monastery in the centre of MKT, at the left hand side, you’ll find Tenzing Aunty (close to Ratna Treasure Handicraft) preparing this scrumptious Tibetan delicacy. She’s been putting up this shop for quite a few years and in case you’re not a fan of too much spices, do let her know or else you’ll end up running for water. Try the Dry Laphing here and do visit the Monastery!

2. Stall @ Gate No. 2

Located right at the end of gate No. 2, a lady runs this tiny laphing joint with just a table and lots of slurp–worthy laphing. This one is perfect as a mid-shopping snack because you can get it packed and carry it around with you. You can easily find this one next to Sai Travels at the end of Gate No. 2, so defo drop by!

3. Stall Near The Monastery

If you’re someone who likes to indulge in some chit-chat while gorging on your food, then you’d like to get your laphing dose from this vendor. He sits near the Monastery at the corner and is super friendly. His style of preparation was slightly different, so we couldn’t help trying it. Do check it out and enjoy some interesting convo as well!

4. Stall Near Nguyen House

Run by two young men, this one is almost a tiny food joint with a few stools for sitting while you gobble up your bowls of laphing. You’ll find this one right in front of Nguyen House, and you can get Dry Laphing or Laphing with gravy here and both will be worth it!

Price | Rs 40

5. Isori’s Laphing 

Last but not the least, this one is our favourite of the lot. Run by an extremely friendly woman, you can find this one right in front of Jai Jewellers after entering from Gate No. 1. We’d recommend that you try the Soupy Laphing here as it’s bursting with flavours. In case you don’t like too much spiciness, the vendor will adjust it according to your choice, so come on over!
