In a sweet new chapter for one of India’s most beloved tearooms, Flurys has officially opened its doors in Darjeeling, marking a significant milestone in its expansion beyond Kolkata. Known for its rich legacy of European-style confections and breakfast classics, the Park Street-born brand is now ready to charm the Queen of the Hills with its signature offerings.

1. A Taste of Kolkata in the Himalayas

The Darjeeling outlet brings Flurys’ timeless menu of rum balls, almond cheese tarts, English breakfast platters, and Swiss rolls to a brand-new audience.
The café’s design blends colonial charm with hill-station coziness, offering panoramic views alongside pastries.
This marks a strategic move in Flurys’ plan to expand across tier-2 cities and tourist destinations.

2. Expansion Strategy

Flurys, owned by Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels, has been on an aggressive growth path post-pandemic.
The brand currently operates over 70 outlets, with a strong presence in Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Siliguri, and Bhubaneswar.
Darjeeling joins the list as part of the company’s goal to reach 50 cities by 2025, including Indore, Vizag, and Gangtok.

3. Legacy of Flurys

Founded in 1927 by Swiss couple Mr. and Mrs. J. Flury, the original Park Street tearoom quickly became a cultural icon.
Over the decades, it has served everyone from British officers to Bollywood celebrities, and now, a new generation of food lovers across India.
