Singpho Tribal Cuisine · Tezpur, Assam

Food from the
heart of the forest

Ancient recipes. Living traditions.

For centuries, the Singpho people of northeast India have carried culinary wisdom forged in bamboo groves and river valleys. Every dish at Singpho Shat Gawk is a return to that origin.

Our story

Born from a
people's memory

The Singpho are among the oldest indigenous communities of northeast India, known for their intricate knowledge of forests, fermentation, and fire. Singpho Shat Gawk was founded to preserve and share this culinary heritage with the world.

Every broth, every smoked cut, every fermented condiment here traces back to methods passed down across generations — unwritten, unmodified, and deeply honest.

What we serve

Dishes shaped by
forest and fire

Our menu is built around smoked meats, jungle vegetables, traditional ferments, and slow-cooked broths — each one a page from the Singpho book of living.

🔥
Smoked Pork & Bamboo Shoot

Pork slow-smoked over hardwood, paired with tender bamboo shoots in a light, fermented broth. The defining flavour of Singpho cooking.

Signature
🍃
Leaf-wrapped Grills

Seasoned meats wrapped in wild banana and taro leaves, then grilled over open flame — the leaf infusing a subtle herbal note.

Wood-fired
🫙
Fermented Side Chutneys

A rotating spread of fermented condiments including smoked tomato, wild herbs, and dry fish chutney — bold, alive, and unrepeatable.

Daily special

Chef's pick
The experience

More than a meal —
a tradition

I
Unbroken lineage

Every recipe we serve has been passed orally through Singpho generations. Nothing has been adapted for trend or convenience.

II
Local & seasonal

Our ingredients come from the Brahmaputra valley and surrounding hills — bamboo, wild herbs, country meats, and river fish in their natural season.

III
No shortcuts

Broths take hours. Ferments take days. Smoking is done over real wood. There is no fast path to food that carries this kind of meaning.

"To eat Singpho food is to sit at the table of a people who have always known how to live well with the land."
