Tibetan kitchen · Specialty tea · Open daily in Siliguri

Tibetan Tea House · Siliguri

Come sit under the vines.

Garlic vines overhead, bamboo sofas below, and a pot of Himalayan tea that is in no hurry. Laphing and thukpa, fries and toasted sandwiches — however long you would like to stay.

Open daily · 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM

Darjeeling tea and elegant teaware

The Room

Quiet, green and slow.

We built SERKYEM to be the calmest room in Siliguri — somewhere the noise of the road stops at the door.

Garlic vines
The ceiling is a canopy. The vines flower in violet, and the room takes its light through them.
Bamboo sofas
Low, deep, and built to be sat in for hours. Nobody has ever been hurried out of one.
No rush
Tea comes by the pot. Bring a book, a friend, or a laptop — the afternoon is yours.

gser-skyems · golden drink

The first cup is never your own.

A serkyem is an offering — a small cup set on a wider plate, poured first for the guest, the mountain, the moment, and only then for yourself. Two semicircles, one above the other. It is our name, it is our mark, and it is how we would like you to be received here.

Take Some Home

The tea we pour.

The same leaf that goes into the pot at the café, tinned for your own kitchen — grown a few hours up the road in the Darjeeling hills.

The café becomes your venue — small dinners, birthdays, cultural evenings, team gatherings. Tell us the idea and we’ll shape the space, the menu and the details around it.

Reservations

Keep a seat for you.

Tell us when you're coming and the sofa in the corner is yours. For groups and celebrations, mention the occasion and we'll take care of the rest.

We’ll confirm availability before your table is final.

In Good Company

Kind words.

We ordered one plate kurkure momo. The food was amazing… With the crispness of the momo and the conversation we had with him, completed our day peacefully. It’s a must visit cafe with peace, good conversations, good ambience and of course the best food.
