How was this list made?
We looked at the Google Maps listings shown for searches for restaurants and cafés in Imphal in October 2026. That covers most of them, but not necessarily every restaurant in the city.
Each restaurant is scored by its Google rating, weighted by its number of reviews, so a 5.0 from 12 reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from 600. The score is (reviews × rating + 50 × the Imphal average) ÷ (reviews + 50).
To be listed, a restaurant needs a rating of 4.0 or more from at least 20 reviews. Averages count those with at least 5 reviews.
In Imphal, 31 restaurants qualified. goKalki is not paid by anyone on this list, and nobody can pay to be on it. Ratings change every day, so each name links to its live listing. If something here is wrong, or you would rather your business were not listed, write to hello@gokalki.com and we will correct or remove it. More on the method: goKalki City Reports.
