Parampara - Guwahati

Best for Assamese thali. If you want to have authentic Assamese thali, it is the best place. One of the oldest hotel in Guwahati. I've been to this place since I was a kid. I love the fish tenga and the aloo pitika.

We ordered 2 thalis, 4 Puris n mix veg. It took them ages to serve the puri n veggies so much do that my son entered the kitchen to check. Thankfully the food was good.

Great experience overall and would highly recommend this place for someone who wants to try Assamese thali
