Eating Out in Shillong

When it comes to eating out, there aren’t too many choices of cuisine, though Chinese food is widely available. The best option is to stick to the hotel you are staying in. The south Indian "dosa" and "idli", north Indian "chola" and "bhatura" and Indian snacks are available in small restaurants in the Police Bazaar area. For authentic local cuisine, venture out to Mawkhar Main Road and eat at the small-unnamed shacks. Bars are attached to the hotels. Entertainment is limited in Shillong with literally everyone going indoors at dusk. Safety is an issue with insurgency an unavoidable fact of life in the state and it is suggested you refrain from staying out beyond 2000 hours.
