Tholgiri

An Assamese enthinic place in Guwahati having both a restaurant and a shop selling local good, mostly food stuff. Had chicken thali ( local country chicken). Food was good and tasty. Local side dishes were worth trying. Small place which can accommodate about 10 to 12 persons at a time. Price is reasonable. Also tried Red Tea which was served with jaggery. It was OK.

My partner and I visited ‘Tholgiri’ on September 15, 2025 (Monday). One needs to visit this cafe-cum-eatery to get a glimpse of the richness of Assamese culture. While we ordered only Red Tea, we loved the ambience and the collection of traditional Assamese food items and artefacts. On our way out, we bought one (1) packet of Beet Assamese Pitha. When we tasted the Pitha, we found the taste awesome. The service was outstanding and the ambience was simply phenomenal. We shall be visiting this place for a proper meal soon enough!

The tholgiri veg thali here provides authentic Assamese dishes, which you will surely love it, along with it we had duck curry, it was excellent and two people can easily share it. Just that the quality of rice was disappointing, and it was cooked more as well. Otherwise everything was perfect.

A nice place to experience local Assamese cuisine. Traditional Assamese thalis , tea , snacks , sweets are available here and also one can purchase different kinds of local rice, snacks items & clothes etc. from this place. We tried local chicken thali , veg thali with mushroom, tea and pitha. All are decent in taste but service was slow.

Awesome place to try Assamese thali. I loved every single dish of their thali. Veg and Non veg thali available. Bit costly, but I found it worth the amount. It is a house - converted to restaurant, on 1st floor. Spices, tea, earrings , fridge magnets, etc available at the store at entrance. There are only limited seats - 2 or 3 tables in total.
