Respecting local customs and traditions is crucial.
  • Which restaurants and bars in Meghalaya, India offer the best local cuisine?

    Many small, family-run eateries throughout Meghalaya offer authentic local cuisine. In Shillong, several restaurants specialise in regional dishes. It's often best to explore and discover hidden gems rather than relying on specific named establishments, as culinary preferences vary greatly.
