Sikkimese cuisine

Sikkimese cuisine is a collection of dishes representative of the Indigenous peoples of Sikkim. Rice is the staple food. Millet and fermented foods traditionally constituted a significant portion of the cuisine.

Nepalese cuisine is popular, as Sikkim is the only state of India with an ethnic Nepali majority. Many restaurants in Sikkim serve various types of Nepalese cuisine, such as the Limbu, Newa and Thakali cuisines. Tibetan cuisine has also influenced Sikkimese cuisine.
