Tucked away in the mist-laden hills of Meghalaya, Jiva Grill reimagines the Northeast’s fiery soul as flame-kissed plates that travel from local farms straight to a sizzling griddle. In a state better known for pine forests than restaurants, this Shillong hideaway fuses Khasi smoke-craft with pan-Indian spice, turning humble pork belly, river fish and jackfruit into charred, juicy stories. One sear, one bite, and India’s grill culture suddenly has a cool new highland address.
Jiva Resort Saitsihpen, near Kutmadan, Cherrapunji, Meghalaya 793108, India
None
Perched near Kutmadan within Jiva Resort in mist-wrapped Cherrapunji, Jiva Grill turns local Meghalayan produce into flame-kissed plates that feel both familiar and refined—think bamboo-shoot smoked pork, citrus-rubbed river fish and garden-fresh greens finished over charcoal—served in a glass-walled pavilion that hovers above cloud forest. Service is relaxed yet attentive, the wine list is concise, and the 4.6-rating is earned by consistent execution and those valley-to-horizon views that make every bite taste of the highlands.
