Gangtok food, sight-seeing and shopping options
Food is not an issue in Gangtok. In MG Marg there a lot of good eateries where one can have veg, non-veg, South and North Indian food. Don't expect an authentic dish like the ones you have back at home and you won't be disappointed.
Food while travelling to Nathu La Pass is a major issue. The place where most of the taxis stop (nearby Tchangu Lake) doesn't have good options for eating. The Chinese recipes dished out were pretty tasteless and we had to be satisfied with Maggi. If possible, carry some food along so that you don't end up complaining later.
In Gangtok, the major mode of commuting is city-taxis (there are no public transports like buses). They cover all the major places and are shared. Usually the fare is Rs 10 per person. You just have to stand on the road and wait for one. Or else for more convenience, book one through the hotel you are staying in. Usually it will cost you Rs 70 to 100 depending on the distance. All city-taxis go to MG Marg (this is where you will need to go often for planning your travel, eating or shopping). MG Marg is also a shopping destination where you can get all your necessary stuff.

Hotel Review of Royal Plaza, The
Comments: I stayed at the Royal Plaza in May 2007 when I had been to Gangtok as part of my honey moon tours. This is a typical business hotel and is definetely not geared up to meet the needs of a vacationer.
Front Office - The service of staff stationed at the front office was dismal.
Food - The food served at the hotel's restaurant is tasteless. Choices are limited.
Location - The hotel has a scenic view of the mountains.
Room - The interior and decor of the room is very bad a leaves much to be desired.
All in all, it is a hotel which charges rates equal to a 4 - 5 star hotel but provides services of a 2 - 3 star hotel. Thumbs down from my part towards the hotel.
Best Experience: I wish I can name any.. sigh!
Worst Experience: Listed in the overall experience

Hotel Review of Royal Plaza, The
I visited the gangtok in the first week of september, the weather was slightly humid and with slight cloud cover but no rain. The hotel royal plaza is a nice property with well furnished rooms and excellent facilities. The stay was very comfortable and the resturant "orchid" was really good serving all variety of food. The rooms have a large glass windows like balcony, which gives a breathtaking view of the valley and the mountains....
