Discover Our Story

The idea behind The Hungry Hornbill was born from a deep desire to share the vibrant, yet lesser-known, cuisine of Northeast India with the world. Despite its diverse flavors, rich cultural influences, and deep-rooted traditions, Northeast Indian food remains underrepresented in mainstream culinary landscapes. We wanted to change that.

Discover the Indigenous Flavors of Northeast India

From the bustling street markets of Guwahati to the smoky kitchens of Nagaland, from the terraced rice fields of Manipur to the misty hills of Meghalaya—our menu is a tribute to the age-old recipes, indigenous cooking methods, and bold flavors that define the soul of the Northeast.

Our Story — A Tale Told in Taste and Tradition

Weaves, Rituals & Ancestral
Pride

Northeast India is a land of vibrant festivals, sacred rituals, and tribal heritage. From handwoven textiles to rhythmic dances, each tradition reflects deep cultural roots. The region celebrates harmony between community and nature, where every tradition tells a story of ancestral wisdom and enduring pride.

Cooked Like Back Home, Served in Goa

Rooted in Tradition

Best chinese food experience for me in North Goa. Tried their chinese pork ribs with Mixed Hakka noodles which were worth every penny. The very notable thing is the little waiting time for your food and such good behaviour from the staff.

Wanderer Bong

One of the best authentic restaurants for north east and Chinese food! Prices are economic and good sized operations! Food flavours are amazing and a good choice on the menu! Can be quiet at times they need to advertise more! You can also have a game of pool whilst waiting for your order! Went several times and will definitely go back!
