it was our first proper meal after a weeklong trek with dal bhat. so, we wanted to have something heavy, something non veg, something non dal rice. we went there pretty late around 3 pm and had to wait for half an hour more to get a seat. the person at the cash counter was as slow as one could be. there were éclairs near the cash counter, he wasn’t ready to give even that to us immediately. then after getting seat and taking the orders we finally got it. it was tasty alright, but we were too hungry to savor it. we also ordered a hot and sour chicken soup which was brilliant with lots of pieces.

most of the dishes were unavailable so in the minimal menu which was there we ordered dragon chicken and crispy chicken in hot garlic sauce. both were super awesome and crispy so absolutely no complaints there. as whatever we ordered were not available, we asked the waiter for suggestions. he suggested to go for ramen and bibimbap. we chose chicken for the former and beef for the latter. it was my long term wish to have ramen, so i was excited about it. i was very happy when i saw it coming in a huge bowl, but it ended up to be maggi with eggs. anyways i loved the taste, so no complaints there. bibimap on the other hand was lovely with a variety of greens, pickle and flavored rice. beef was not so juicy but still it was a refreshing dish. on a whole a satisfying meal after an arduous week.

the food especially the korean mixed rice was really good. cosy little place with courteous staff. great place to eat out in darjeeling.

one of the best places to eat in darjeeling! right from ramen bowl to phing sha. desserts at end was hands down the best pastry we've ever had. tres leches and korean doughnut are a must have.

one of the best places you can visit.
the hosts are very welcoming and the food is amazing!
the dessert in particular, tres leches, is unbelievably delicious! hands down one of best things i have ever tasted!
cheers!

excellent dining experience within a cozy seating with very good hot delicious food servings. the bibimbap was excellent & the dragon chicken was yumm.. yummy hot food on a cold darjeeling december afternoon.. satisfaction guaranteed !

it was raining .... christmas evening... cold darjeeling... and then you meet a hot steamy bowl of ramen and a plate of sweet and savoury bao....what more do you need

yes.... may be a jar of banoffee pie... light and flavourful.. to finish your sumptuous meal

dekevas is a small eatery that is just before keventer's and right after kunga. this is a must-visit if one wants to eat good food, rather than sit on the terrace of the over-hyped places in darjeeling. the owners run this place with a lot of love and they are actually concerned about how people like the food. everything that we had tasted good here including the baos, ramen, bibimbap, noodles. for the quality of food that they serve this place doesn't make a hole in the pockets.

the place is cosy and serves flavourful food..the chicken and beef ramen are filled with fresh flavours which would leave your taste buds craving for more! loved it!

beautiful cosy ambience. to top it up , they have such a soothing playlist and friendly staff! both the thukpa and ramen were so damn delish. totally recommend!

awesome tibetan & korean food...friendly & polite staff.when in darjeeling do visit dekevas once.11 out of 10

really cute place beside the end of mall road. good food, ambience and vibe.

the chilli garlic noodles and manchurian were brilliant.

it’s surprising to see how unfairly tourists have rated this lovely family run eatery. when you’re travelling you should take a considerate amount of time to try food. patience is key when it comes to having wholesome experiences. we really wanted to try the baos but unfortunately they were out of stock that is why i suggest that if you want to try the korean food you have to beat the rush hour or else you’ll miss out on a lot of lovely dishes. we ordered the pork bibimbap which was absolutely delicious, it completely stole the show. the fried momos were perfectly cooked and the dalley paste added the spicy zing to the taste buds, the passion fruit mint soda was so good we decided to order another serving. we ended the meal with the blueberry panacotta which was smooth and subtle, all in all we enjoyed a really wholesome meal.

on our trip to darjeeling we went to have lunch here. this place was in my list so thought of giving it a try. the host told us in the beginning that it will take time as there was shortage of staff. we were okay with it. we waited and placed our order. we ordered one chicken steam momo and japanese ramen. momo came after 30 minutes of waiting then they informed that noodles for ramen is not there. she asked us to place something else, so we said thukpa but that also she said will take time atleast 20-25 minutes. we already waited so long and we also had some plan of sightseeing so we cancelled the order and paid only for the momo.
anyway i completely understand that due to shortage of staffs that happened and the momo tasted really good. i'm gonna give it a try again while in darjeeling to taste their other delicacies.
interior was small but cozy with 15-18 seating arrangement. but the behavior of the host of really good.
