Our Menu Highlights
Aloo Gutke
One of the most beloved dishes of Garhwal, Aloo Gutke is made with mountain-grown potatoes tossed in mustard oil and seasoned with roasted spices and whole red chilies. Served hot and crisp, it captures the warmth and simplicity of Himalayan home-style cooking while carrying a burst of authentic regional flavor.
Dal Makhani
A true North Indian delicacy, Dal Makhani is slow-cooked overnight with whole black lentils, kidney beans, butter, and cream to achieve its rich, velvety texture. Infused with aromatic spices and a smoky flavor, this dish reflects the essence of indulgent Indian comfort food enjoyed across generations.
Momo
A beloved Himalayan delicacy, Momo are soft dumplings filled with a savory mixture of vegetables or meat, delicately seasoned with herbs and spices. Steamed to perfection, they are served hot with a tangy, spicy chutney that enhances their flavor. Light yet satisfying, Momo capture the essence of mountain street food and are enjoyed across India for their comforting taste and cultural charm.
