They stock & sell Darjeeling Tea.

With its thatched roofshades, low-lying, cushioned cane furniture and lots of greenery, Dolly’s exudes a lot of warmth, attracting shoppers and college-goers in hordes. Handmade paper lanterns light up the circular tables. Infused with the personal touch, the shop is spread over two floors with a huge courtyard in the center.Dolly, the owner of this tea shop, is herself available at most evenings greeting the guests.
