Here are some great spots in and around SF Road Siliguri one should definitely try if they are into street food.

He originally opened and operated his stall at Punjabi para and later shifted to SF Road.

Jalpan’s Momo
This is another great vegetarian spot for just momo lovers. The momo here is worth all your attention and money.
