Dohneiiong
Pork cooked with black sesame seeds and soy sauce. The toasted sesame seeds, often found in Chinese cooking, takes this dish to another level altogether. Dohneiiong can be found at many food stalls in and around the main city centre as well as near the Police Bazaar.
Tungrymbai
Many locals queue up at local street stalls in Shillong to get their daily fix of Tungrymbai. The dish is popular in Meghalaya and is prepared using fermented soybeans that are grown in Shillong.
You’re unlikely to get this anywhere in the country other than northeast India, so it’s definitely one of the top threats in Shillong. The dish is best eaten with bread or roti. Tungrymbai can be eaten at local street stalls in and round markets in Shillong.
Momos
You may have eaten momos any number of times, but you’ve got to try them here. Popular in the northeast region of India, momos are best eaten with spicy-tangy chutney (a blend of dried red chilli and vinegar).
From street stalls to local eateries, many restaurants in Shillong serve fresh and hot momos with different fillings. Pork and chicken momos are very popular with the locals. If you want to avoid street food, a popular restaurant is Hotel Broadway on GS Road.
