CHAPHU
Tucked away in the heart of Imphal, CHAPHU quietly redefines what a Manipuri restaurant can be: hyper-local produce, heirloom recipes, and a chef who treats the smoky umey fire as a co-author. From wild citrus-laced eromba to slow-charred bamboo shoot pork, every plate is a story of hills, wetlands, and fading childhood tastes.
