Jiva Veg Restaurant
Tucked into the mist-laden hills of Meghalaya, Jiva Veg Restaurant quietly redefines what it means to eat green in India’s often meat-centric Northeast. Within a bamboo-lined cottage that smells of smoked bamboo shoots and just-pressed mustard oil, the kitchen turns out hyper-local jackfruit biryanis, turmeric-laced tofu, and ferments so vivid they seem to hold the forest’s pulse. For travellers tracing India’s plant-forward revolution, this unassuming Shillong address proves that vegetarian fare can be as wild, seasonal and rooted as the landscape itself.
