Food & beverageCooked with a local hand
One multi-cuisine restaurant, buffet and à la carte, and a kitchen that cooks the food this region actually eats.
The view does as much work as the menu
Our multi-cuisine restaurant opens onto the green. Buffet and à la carte through the day, with a kitchen that leans on authentic home-style cooking.
- Kumaoni staples beside the Indian, Chinese and Continental dishes guests expect
- Jain, vegan and allergy-specific meals cooked properly, given notice
- Breakfast boxes packed before first light for morning safaris
- In-room dining through the day
- Private tables set outdoors on request
- Tasting sessions for wedding and event menus

The restaurant
Before you book
What cuisines do you serve?
One kitchen covering Indian, Chinese and Continental alongside Kumaoni staples. Buffet and à la carte service through the day, with the restaurant opening onto the green.
Can you cater for Jain, vegan or allergy-specific diets?
Yes, and properly rather than improvised. Tell us when you book so the kitchen can order for it. Jain food is cooked without onion, garlic or root vegetables in a separate preparation.
Do you pack breakfast for early safaris?
Yes, and without being asked twice. A breakfast box and flask are ready at reception before you leave, and the kitchen stays open for a proper late breakfast when you return.
Can we have a private dinner outdoors?
Yes. Tables can be set in the gardens or by the pool, and for Saalora Suites we will set one outside your own door. A day's notice is enough for most setups.
What is Kumaoni food, and should I try it?
It is the local hill cuisine: bhatt ki churkani from black soybean, aloo ke gutke with dry red chilli, bhang ki chutney, madua roti from finger millet, and bal mithai for dessert. Yes, you should. Our kitchen team grew up eating it.
Book direct, stay better
Best available rate, breakfast for everyone in the room, first pick of the forest-facing stays, and a safari desk that actually gets the permit.
