The 14 best foods to try in Dharamsala

I love this bakery. It was a random selection from the list. You enter here and there is warmth in the environment. We tried coffee, hot chocolate, tart, and cakes, and instantly felt calm from the winter. Carrot cake is a must! Backyard sitting is also open which has a beautiful view of the city. Enjoy!

Woeser Bakery is a wonderful Tibetan small business that is run by the amazing Sangma! This woman owner bakery is a unique treat located in Dharamshala! The bakery has a wide selection of yummy treats including vegan cakes, tarts, walnut cups, custom cakes, tsampa balls, breads, coffees, shakes, and hot and iced teas! (And more!!) Located on the second floor, it is super easy to find! The vibes are full of love and peace. She named the bakery after her daughter. The baked good are super fresh and yummy! Gluten free options are available! The seating inside is very cozy and has a bright and light filled atmosphere. There is also a terrace to sit on that overlooks the mountains and nearby surroundings (beautiful view!!) Coffee is really fresh and perfectly flavored. Please come support this Tibetan small female owned business! Highly recommended, do not miss this one! 🙏

Carrot cheese cake and banana cheese cake are a must must try. One of the best cafe in the town. One can enjoy a cinematic 📽️🎥📽️🎥 view while enjoying the cakes and coffee/ teas/ Shakes here. I must visit cafe McLeod Ganj.

Best homemade cappuccino I ever had..!! Variety of pastries freshly made.. Polite staff.. good view from.. Must try in Mcleodganj. Don’t forget to try handmade cappuccino and walnut tart.

The quaint little cafe tucked away under the Black Magic Restaurant in the mini Tibet Market is perfect for coffee and homemade cakes. It's run by two amazing women who bring the best of homemade confectionary to the visitors. Do try their homemade espresso and any of the tarts. All of them are equally yummy!

A true hidden gem of McLeod Ganj! Woeser bakery is a must try with an impressive array of scrumptious desserts. It is run by a lovely lady, Sangmo who has at several instances baked for his holiness Dalai Lama. I highly recommend the chocolate tart, the chocolate truffle, the carrot cake, the handmade coffee and the rhododendron tea. The place has a very cozy vibe to it and they also have a decent collection of books to read while you’re there.

Woeser Bakery is a hidden gem that offers homemade delights in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're craving a comforting cappuccino, a decadent chocolate cake, or simply a moment of peace and relaxation, Woeser Bakery delivers an experience that warms both the body and the soul.

A delightful Japanese cafe, forgotten or at least overlooked by time. A real hidden gem run by a delightful senior Japanese and Tibetan couple. The wife is the cook. A small menu of snacks and beverages is available. The whole of one wall is devoted to books (for the younger generation, books were once seen as essential depositories of knowledge and civilisation, before the Elon Musk Presidency). I really appreciated the atmosphere of calm and peace. Highly recommend as an oasis of calm; a refuge from the domination of the motor cars outside. The home-made lemon curd cake is very yummy indeed and is highly recommended. Places like this are now sadly getting quite rare and are becoming an ‘endangered species’. A must-see experience!

Some places don’t just serve you food—they give you an experience that stays with you. This was one of those rare gems. Run lovingly by a couple, the moment you step in, you’re wrapped in a blanket of warmth and genuine hospitality. It’s cozy, intimate, and beautifully real. While many places try too hard to impress, this one wins you over by simply being itself—authentic, humble, and full of heart. I had the special set menu (available on Tuesdays and Fridays), and every bite felt like a story. The homemade kombucha was refreshing and vibrant, and the lemon curd? Pure joy. I wish I could keep coming back, again and again. If I could give it 10 stars out of 5, I absolutely would.

Always a pleasure to dine here and enjoy simple basic comforting Japanese food. The owners are very simple Japanese people and quite hospitable who speak fluent hindi.

If you're in McLeodganj and craving authentic Japanese food, Lung Ta Japanese Restaurant is the place to go. 🍣 The simplicity of the place belies the quality of the food. Always try their today’s special and the lemon curd for dessert – they are must-haves! 🍋 This restaurant is the one-stop solution for every Japanese craving. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a large manga cabinet that adds a unique touch. 📚 The unbelievably genuine and nice old couple hosting the restaurant make the experience even more special. Despite the quality, the dishes are surprisingly cost-effective, especially if you’ve spent a few bucks cafe hunting in McLeodganj. 💰 It's a favorite among foreigners for obvious reasons, as they often vouch for its authenticity. 🌍 Visit when the place is quiet to truly enjoy the peaceful, zen ambiance. 🧘‍♂️ My favorite spot is always the corner area where you sit on the floor in traditional Japanese zen style. The place has a serene vibe, and the chefs, who are Tibetan, add a unique touch to the Japanese dishes. 🍜 Even if you’re new to Japanese cuisine, this place is a great introduction. Though it's 100% vegetarian, the flavors are rich and varied, thanks to ingredients like seaweed. 🌿 They have daily specials combo, enough for 1-2 persons, and you can also order à la carte. 📋 Such a nice place with daily specials. We went on Saturday for tofu day, and it was delicious. They serve generous portions, including soup and rice. 🍲 Highly recommended! 🌟

I had last visited them 15 years ago. Since, am not much familiar with the japanese cuisine, I had tried veg curry with rice then. This time, it was on my to do list. Being a vegetarian, it's rare to find a veg japanese restaurant (they serve egg though) We ordered the day's special, along with Kombucha. It was difficult to understand, how to pair items together, but, it was a good struggle. I enjoyed the cuisine. But, I definitely feel, it could be better. Ambience is decent. It feels like family run place. The gentleman is sweet. May not visit again.

Little gem restaurant ! Vintage decoration, selling Japanese food and bread (it looks very good quality bread !) Too good to be true, but it’s true 🤩🤩🤩 Real Japanese food, Taste delicious ! The menu of the day change everyday, I was here on Monday and it was vegetable croquettes with set meal : perfect taste. I will come back here with my Japanese friends !

Delicious meal. My partner and I had the deep fried veggies with rice, super tasty!

We ordered 2 x Thukpa noodle soups. They came out about 10 minutes apart, they were piping hot which is nice, but a little unexciting and bland. The veggies were nice in there but it wasn't something we'd rush back for. Had to go and find someone at the end to pay our bill after waiting a good 10 minutes. It was steady trade in there (mainly monks) but not overly busy.

We just randomly walked around and saw a sign for this place. We decided to try it out and we are very happy we did. It's probably the best food we've had in Mcleodganj. It's a very local place but clean with a very cute terrace. The food is fresh, made on the spot (we waited a bit but we didn't mind). It's also half the price of those more touristy places

Ordered 3 butter teas. Fantastic Tibetan drink. The owners were so kind and gave complementary hot water and snacks which was a first here.

We first time tried Chicken thenthuk, chicken Mokthuk and chicken chowmin here they taste pretty good. Depends upon you what type of taste suits you like that I will suggest if you want to try Tibetan food you surely visit this restaurant and it is pocket friendly restaurant.

I visited this place with so much hope but it didn't go well, I ordered veg fried and steam momos and it was normal, honestly not at all tasty and they didn't serve momos chutney instead they gave mustard sauce. But you can give a try to other dishes they provide. I hope next time I'll get to eat delicious momos with the red momos chutney.

Best Schezhuan food in Dharamshala. Its near His holiness Dalai Lama Temple, the energy is amazing here. Amazing food, amazing view

We enjoyed a lot of delicious local food here! Plus the energy of the staff and the singing chef. Highly recommend 🙏🏻

Moonpeak deli has delicious food, with homemade brown sourdough and delicious house made curries and hummus. I came back here many times during my trip in McLeod Ganj and enjoyed the ambience, the staff and the acceptance they had for me to hang for hours (literally), read my book and watch the McLeod Ganj streets go by. I highly recommend eating the Thali and endless ginger lemon honey tea! Thanks guys, you were an anchor for me during my two weeks in McLeod Ganj.

One of the worst cafes to visit, especially in a tourist attraction. I ordered grilled chicken and all they did was made a bland gravy with chicken breasts filled with raisins and absolutely no spice. A very eurocentric place, wouldn't recommend.

One of the finest experiences in Mcleod. This place is famous among locals and foreigners alike. Food quality and taste is awesome. They prepare food afresh for every order. Try their Pork and Ham sandwich. You’ll love it.

A really nice, stylish and clean cafe right in the middle of town, near the Dalai Lama’s Temple. Seating is available on the small terrace outside next to the main road and inside. They have a snacks, beverages, cakes and other goodies at reasonable prices. Highly recommended this place

This is my favourite cafe in Mcleodganj. Their coffee is amazing. We had the spinach and cheese omelette, it was superb. Its a small cafe with minimal staff, so the service can be slightly slow. But the food is worth the wait!

Vegan burger is next level.. Pricing is absolutely worth it Better to fancy vegan burgers of mumbai/delhi It is a clean rich taste, bun is almost like some kind of cake, eggplant, veggies are cooked nicely Patty is soft and filling, not oily or deep fried Sauce is also nice and not overpowering perfect amount Served with french fries and salad

One of the best places I visited and spent time at in McLeodganj. Lovely staff, excellent food and wonderful vibes. It is a must-visit. Try their omelette fromage and omelette smoked chicken! Their drinks are All good. And finally must try their almond cake.

One of the most celebrated cafes in Mcleodganj. Good place, dishes are good as well but not as great as the hype. The window offer lovely views and you can enjoy them chugging down some beers. The location is in the market and during the day it’s a struggle to get your car anywhere near the cafe. So, the best approach would be to walk. Don’t get confused with Jimmy’s bakery.

We had heard from someone that Jimmy is renowned as one of the best restaurants in McLeodganj. But we wrongly went to Jimmy’s Himalayan Kitchen instead. Unfortunately, they were not serving dinner at that time, so one of the waiters kindly directed us to this one which was just a short walk away. This restaurant is located on the first floor, and we navigated a rather narrow staircase to get there. Upon arrival, we noticed several groups enjoying the mattress seating area. We opted for a table and placed our orders, which arrived in a timely manner. The restrooms, located on the second floor, could benefit from some improvements. When I requested a beer, I was informed by the waiter that customers are responsible for serving themselves. While this was unexpected, I chose to overlook it. We sampled a variety of dishes including pizzas, pastas, and juices, all of which were quite satisfying and generously portioned. The option for online payment with a credit card was convenient. The staff maintained a neutral demeanor throughout our visit. Overall, we believe this restaurant holds its ground in the McLeodganj dining scene, and it’s certainly worth considering for a meal.

Visited there after reading many reviews. So expectation was high. We tried veg Peri peri pizza, banoffee pie and cold coffee. Banoffee pie was delicious must try. Pizza was different not good not bad, just ok ok types. Cold coffee was not good at all, totally avoidable.

We visited Jimmy’s Italian Kitchen in McLeodganj and ordered the vegan pizza, Arrabbiata pasta, and two virgin mojitos. The food tasted good—well-prepared and flavorful, especially the pasta. The mojitos were refreshing and tasted just like you’d expect at any good dine-in restaurant. Portion sizes were quite generous—definitely enough for three people. We couldn’t finish everything, so the bill of around ₹1100 felt a bit pricey for two, but would’ve made more sense for a group. The place has an old-school charm, though it felt a bit dated, and during our monsoon visit, there was some water dripping from the ceiling which was a downside. Overall, a decent spot for Italian food in McLeodganj—especially if you're dining with friends or family.

Quite an aesthetic ambience with a breathtaking view. Had sicilian chicken and it was really done. The chicken could have been a little softer. Had Tibetan butter tea as well and I loved it.

Went to Jimmy Kitchen after seeing so many reels but honestly, it’s just all hype. The place was stinky the moment we walked in. Felt damp and unclean. Totally put me off. Food was nothing special, very average. Service was fine ..we sat there for so long and no one came to take our order. When they finally did, they gave us a handwritten bill and still charged GST. No proper bill .. that’s just not okay. Vibe was totally missing. Didn’t enjoy anything. Waste of time and money. So many better places around .. not sure why this one is hyped.

The ambience, the food and the people serving it...all were awesome. Pizza seems to be their masterstroke...almost every table had it. We had Peri Peri Pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I had ever had. Cold coffee was amazing and hot chocolate was just the best.... amazing food and a great place to visit if in Mcleodganj. Kudos guys. Their good indeed makes you smile with their food and an amazing view out the window!

Nicks Italian kitchen is a must visit place. The ambience, the food and the people serving it, everything is good. Amazing food and a great place to visit if in Mcleodganj and an amazing view out the window! It has a lovely open terrace with great views of the mountains and some of the snow-covered Dhauladhar peaks. The menu is wide-ranging and every dish is delicious and freshly made. Don’t miss out their desserts!

I had high expectations for Nick's Italian Kitchen, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The food was completely bland—even the pasta lacked any real flavor. Service was painfully slow and inattentive, making the whole experience frustrating. To make matters worse, even the desserts were subpar. The carrot cake with cream cheese, in particular, was just bad. The only saving grace was the ambiance, but that alone isn't enough to make me want to return. Definitely not worth the hype!

Homemade sauces, homemade bread, homemade Kombucha and lots more. Great vegetarian Italian food and really good service. Independently run by a Tibetan family for many years, and served the likes of Richard Gere and Demi Moore.

This is the best place to eat in McLeodganj. I went there twice in a span of 4 days. There Masala tea is absolutely amazing. The scrambled eggs are delicious, veg cheese sandwich was so flavourful. There bread is such good quality. The service is good, view from outdoor seating is breathtaking. Prices are decent. I would love to go there again. PLEASE HAVE THEIR BROWNIES, THEY ARE DELICIOUS.

A small and charming café tucked right along the bustling streets of McLeodganj. Here every lane seems to hide a gem or two. Nick’s is definitely one of those. Perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed coffee break while soaking in the mountain vibe. I really liked their simple and thoughtful practice of asking customers to write down their orders on paper, it adds a nice personal touch to the whole experience. Definitely worth a stop if you’re wandering through these lively streets.

We went for breakfast. Ordered their English breakfast with choice of fresh juice. The juice was good, no added sugar. Also had cheese and mushroom grilled sandwich. It was good, the filling was proper and enough. The ambience is beautiful overlooking the mountain. Perfect to enjoy morning breakfast

Food was a yum. Worth the visit. And the ambience was also good. Unfortunately I only hv the photo of the pizza. Pizza was soooo good.

Go for the breakfast here. Have some freshly made crepe pancakes along with a beverage of your choice and you will thank your stars! Take in the breathtaking view while the aroma of pancakes and crepes waft in the air.

When I think back to my time in McLeodganj, this café stands out as one of the most memorable parts. The cozy atmosphere, the healthy food prepared with care, and the wonderful people I met here made it feel like home. This is the perfect place to read a book and drink tea while watching the mountains outside. Yangzom cares for the guests and makes the place special. I hope to visit again someday.

A very good restaurant! The restaurant has a cosy atmosphere. The best advantage and a reason, we chose to visit is the fact, that you have gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options to choose from. If possible, they will let you switch ingredients of a meal based on your special needs. They serve nice big portions, we ordered gluten-free burrito whith avocado and full of boiled and also fresh veggies. The portion was bigger than expected, we almost had problems to finish it :). We were afraid to eat fresh vegs in India because of water contamination, but here they state in the menu that they treat the vegetables with sterilised water, which is very important. We had no problem after eating their vegs. Keep in mind that they don't serve every option from the menu every day, as it is a small restaurant, but you will always have options to choose from even if you have special needs. As a dessert we got a gluten and dairy free pancake with no sugar, just fresh fruit. Very nice experience.

Awesome place to spend some quality time alone or with group. The owner is a very nice and friendly lady. Their menu is awesome and the preparation of food is very authentic and delicious.

One of our favorite cozy spots in Dharamshala/Mccleod Ganj. Shakshuka, crepes, veg sushi and vegan peanut butter noodles are some of our favorites. Oh and I normally don't like. Kombucha much, but their homemade Mango/mint kombucha is delicious! Must try! (note my husband usually orders extra eggs with shakshuka, the normal portion everywhere is usually 2).

Quaint little cafe with most heartwarming food. The owner has been mindful in advocating enough for sustainability (cloth/ wooden coasters, felt slippers for guests, minimum disposable items) and vegan diet of course! Do yourself a favour and visit over for a breakfast if around mcleodganj.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crepe Pancake I had the best experience here! The crepes and galettes were so delicious — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff were super nice and made me feel really welcome. The place has such a cozy vibe, perfect for brunch or a treat with friends. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Definitely coming back soon! 💛

Though the food was good, the overall experience was disappointing due to poor service standards. The waiter assigned to our table was extremely unprofessional—speaking loudly, acting indifferent while taking our order, and even muttering curses about another guest in front of us. He was also talking on his mobile phone, engaging in loud conversations with other staff, and, shockingly, was smoking inside the restaurant and serving without washing his hands. This behavior is completely unacceptable and a major health concern. Management must take immediate action to enforce hygiene and customer service standards.

One of the oldest and famous place in Dharamkot. Vibe of this place is always high.. nice seating arrangement of all kinds on two floors. Amazing food variety from Indian to Italian to Iranian. Equally delicious variety of drinks and deserts.

don't think too much.. a must visit place, this was one of places that locals recommended....relaxing & soothing with scenic ambiance..... saw a lot of international tourists, local Israeli's & tibets, place felt some kind of a "global corner".... ordered hummus falafel platter, it was smooth, well balanced ,felt clean & satisfying.... overall decent food with scenic & laid-back vibes...

The vibe here is incredibly calm and soothing — perfect if you’re looking to unwind away from the usual noise. The ambiance, the views, and the overall atmosphere make it an ideal spot to just sit back and relax. I absolutely loved my time here and would love to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene spot to eat, chill, and soak in the mountain charm.

Great tasty food. Lovely staff. We ate there every day during the last week. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is decent overall. Mushroom tikka was definitely the highlight—flavorful and well-cooked. The rest of the food was just okay, nothing too special. Service and ambiance were average. Good for a quick bite if you’re in the area, but not a must-visit unless you’re craving mushroom tikka.

Nice place to eat and chill. The menu is extensive and food is good. They have amazing cakes and coffee that’s not to be missed. It’s located in Dharamkot and you can easily get a taxi right outside the cafe. Nice place to sit, eat and relax on a holiday

Almost no words to describe my experience... I came here and looked at the menu. Firstly i was bamboozled by the options😅. Then i made up my mind to try lamb for the first time in my life. I ordered Shakam Datshi which is inspired from a Bhutanese cuisine. It was served with an option of tingmo or steamed rice on the side. I ordered both. The taste was equally heavenly with both the sides. My forst time having lamb and the experience was sublime.

Excellent food. Waiting time was bit too long but was worth the wait. Would recommend visiting this place with some extra time in hand, you won’t be disappointed 😊

This restaurant was my shortlisted. So after my visit i realised that i didn't make wrong. I had visited during lunch time. I ordered chicken momo, chicken drumstick, pork ribs, egg fried rice and chicken Manchurian. All the items were excellent taste. Quantity was adequate. Service was fast. Staff was cordial. Highly recommended.

We loved every thing we had. It is so worth the hype. We had double roasted pork, Tibetan thali and Tolumein chicken soup. Every single thing was so filling and so delicious. It was our first meal in McLeod and a great start to our trip.

Beautiful interior Cosy place for breakfast, lunch and dinner Thupka could have been better in terms of quantity of soup. The noodles were too loaded and wasn’t in right proportion with the amount of soup and veggies. But the taste was good Must try- Cappuccino and broccoli chicken stir fry. Those were absolute bomb and so was the veg omelette

After reading some good reviews about it online me and my family decided ti have our brunch here. We ordered A manchow shoup along with some unique handcrafted dimsums and a pad Thai. Their pad thai was unfortunately even less craftful and authentic than a chow Mein from a local roadside vendor, with flavours and ingredients going haywire. The dimsums were ordered without mushrooms but they came with the mushrooms and the owner kept on insisting that it didn't contain mushrooms even after we showed him a few pcs. Finally we enjoyed our manchow soup and left it to try some of the other more authentic cafes in Mc leod

Ordered momos, pretty thick coating of flour, staff was busy in phone and took a lot of time to prepare the order. Average experience, can explore better options surely around.

I loved at Bodhi Greens it’s a vegan cafe, I had a V60 coffee and another day a daliya bowl. The coffee was really good, strong but smooth. The daliya bowl was simple, warm, and pretty filling — kind of gave a homely feel. The place is amazing and nice to sit for a while. Staff were polite and service was quick, You must visit.

Been there several times, one of the most recommended places in Dharamkot with healthy meals. Staff there is very friendly and make you feel like home. Loved their smoothies bowls.

Visited Body Greens due to the statement for healthy food. Had a pumpkin soup and their version of pad thai. The flavours could not impress and generally prepare these dishes better at home myself. The location itself is nice and could have a lot of potential. Edit: After the food in the restaurant, and their feedback, I wanted to give them a second chance so tried their bakery products and went for the mango cheese cake. The piece in the photo is 350 INR... never had such a small piece offered. It was frozen at least sometimes due to the water crystals, flavourless and tasted more like cardboard than Mango Cheese cake.

Beautiful place by beautiful & passionate people. The only cafe I liked in Dharmkot. Healthy nutritious food at reasonable prices. The only thing is, you need to wait a lot to get your order sometimes. And sometimes there’s noone to attend or talk to. The smoothie & smoothie bowls were fabulous. It’s Satvik & nutritious. Chef Varun is a sweet guy, you might find him there smiling & waving. Beautiful place.

Like the concept but not the dessert unfortunately. Tea is good with their special coconut-soy milk. Banana bread I didnt enjoy - very coarse grainy texture, too sweet and not great after taste.

A great place with good vibes and very delicious and healthy food - every dish I’ve ordered was tasty and rich, the desserts are amazing! Highly recommended!

Can't tell how many times I ate in this restaurant. Food is great, clean and healthy. The stuff is amazing. Got so many adjustments, always with a smile.

Nice little cafe. The ginger lemon honey tea was nicely made. Found the noodles of thukpa a little thick. The pizza was huge and I didn't expect vegetarian pizza to taste soo good.

Overall decent food for the price, and tables near the windows have a nice view. Ordered a masala chai that lacked spices though. Potato & paneer Momo's, vegetable chow mein and vegetables omelet all tasted good. Would recommend going for a fairly inexpensive meal with a view.

The cafe offers good tibetan food at budget-friendly prices. It has a peaceful atmosphere and a laid-back vibe offering a satisfying meal without the need to splurge. A good choice for anyone looking to enjoy good food in a calm and cozy setting.

Namgyal Café in McLeodganj is a hidden gem for anyone looking for a delicious yet cost-effective meal. I ordered noodles and thukpa, and both dishes were decent and nice. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was well-prepared. What really stood out was how affordable it was — I had a great meal for under 150 INR. The cozy atmosphere of the café also adds to the charm, making it a perfect stop for a brunch.

The place is quite and cozy. The owner is very friendly and honest. We tried the pizza on his recommendation and it turned out great. Everything was fresh and nice. It takes a little time for the food to be ready but given the freshness, it's worth it. We also had a ginger honey lemon which was again very refreshing during the winter. Amazing places for a wonderful lunch or dinner.

A must visit cafe if you want to taste authentic Tibetan cuisine. The cafe is located on first floor just near the Namgyal monastery. Authentic Burmese costume is offered here and has authentic taste. The food portion is large, so don't order more than one dish per person. The sitting area is slightly cramped. But the food makes up for it!

After traveling for a long time, I and my friends came to this cafe before leaving. The first thing to notice here when entering is the comforting and cozy ambience. The staff here was very friendly and welcoming. We decided to order pizza and we were delighted by the quality of the pizza and how well made it was. There’s also a huge variety of green teas and other types of teas you can choose from.

Did not have a good experience. The food was bland. We tried a white sauce pasta which we felt was under seasoned. We also ordered a chicken pizza. The chicken in the pizza was so dry that we could not chew it at all. We had to remove the pieces of chicken to make the dish edible. The overall ambience was nice. I have given the experience 3 stars because I have previously been to this place and have had some good experiences.

Located down jogiwara road in mcleodganj. Its a pretty cafe offering good views of the dhauladhar. Food is pretty tasty over here. Lots of variety you get

The quintessential hippie cafe of town with matttesses and cushions for sitting and spending some quality time either alone or with friends. The wall art and graffiti also adds to the charm. The continental food here is highly recommended

This place is on the temple jogiwara road. And is one of cool places to sit and eat. The nest is to order Chinese, Italian or continental. I would not recommend Indian. Although Indian food wasn't bad. Just a bit bland for my taste. Definitely recommend going here once.

In the crowded and cramped streets of McLeod Gang, I wanted to try it out because of the reviews I heard from some people. They have two levels of restaurant. One with the usual dinein and the other with the sit down and open window with the mountain view . I tried the mount view level. The place is pretty shabby and not kept so clean. There were lotof flies. I ordered the vegetarian wood fire pizza and it was great. The three only stars for the pizza. Ambience is a 0/0.

Carpe diem is a 10 minute walk away from the Mcleod market square. It has both indoor seating and a rooftop seating. The ambience resembles Goan shack with lovely music b running in the background. We ordered a Crispy fried vegetables and a chicken pepper steak. Both were good. The place is worth a visit if you're in Mcleodganj.

Run by people from Nepal this place has everything whether it is French,Italian,English, Chinese for breakfast ....Hash brown breakfast is also good choice... and do leave your photo to be kept on table under glass.

Came here for late lunch on account of all the hype and recommendations I was given. Left a bit disappointed as the food (while definitely good) wasn't much to write home about. The Sushi are the must try dishes here. Come here if you care about having a great ambience and lots of space. Compared to most places in Mcleodganj this establishment is much larger and has capacity for a 100 people I'd think. Service is very nice too, but expect it to be slow. Come here if you want to have good conversations over music. Hot chocolate was fine but well priced. Pizza was good but nothing great to write about. Sushi platter is a must try though the soy sauce was too cold. Don't order veg momos here. They are a bare pass. You're better off trying them elsewhere. It's expensive but reasonable. Expect to spend 500 INR per person.

Jimmy’s Asian Kitchen is a vibrant, multi-cuisine gem in McLeod Ganj—renowned for its momos, ramen, Thai curry, wood-fired pizza, and friendly ambiance. It’s a great pick for groups or families, with added charm from their guest-house feel and bakery touches. While service quality can vary during busy hours, overall it’s a crowd favorite for both comfort food and special meals. We tried the Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken , Peri Peri Fries , All Cheese Pizza, Crushed Pepper Chicken, Chicken SuiMai . All dishes were freshly made and tasted awesome

We visited this restaurant for lunch. It was almost empty with just one or two more guests. We ordered spring roll, veg Manchurian, fried rice and noodles. The food was good. There was some waiting time before food was served. Overall it is a good place to eat and a must visit if you are around.

One of the best places to dine! The quality and taste of the food are absolutely top-notch. Every dish is flavorful and well-prepared. The service is excellent—quick, courteous, and attentive. A delightful experience overall. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding hospitality

A Hidden Gem in the Hills – Jimmy’s Asian Kitchen, McLeodganj: Stumbled upon Jimmy’s Asian Kitchen during my trip to McLeodganj, and what a delightful experience it turned out to be! The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, with comfortable seating that lets you relax and enjoy the beautiful hill town vibe. The veg momo were absolutely fantastic – soft, perfectly steamed, and bursting with flavor. And the hot chocolate? A total cherry on top – rich, warm, and just what you need in the mountain chill. Yes, the street outside is quite narrow and gets busy, so parking a car can be tricky. But once you're inside, the chaos fades, and you're in for a treat. The food did take some time to arrive, but honestly, the taste made it totally worth the wait. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy good Asian food with a great atmosphere in McLeodganj. Can’t wait to go back!!!

We stopped by Jimmy Asian Kitchen in Mcleodganj (located on Jogiwara Road) on a rainy day and were pleasantly surprised! Though we were the only ones there at the time, the restaurant’s colorful and cozy indoor ambiance made it a warm escape from the weather. We ordered veg momos, spring rolls, and dry thentuk, accompanied by three cups of masala tea. While the service was a little slow (possibly because of the rain), the food more than made up for it. Everything was freshly made, and the flavors were absolutely on point—especially the masala tea, which we totally fell in love with! Highly recommended if you're looking to enjoy authentic Asian flavors in a charming and peaceful setting. Would love to visit again on our next trip

Honest review alert!!!!! If you’re in Dharamshala and craving fresh, flavorful food served with great presentation, this place is a must-visit! The variety and quality here are truly impressive. From perfectly steamed momos to beautifully plated sushi rolls and mouthwatering side dishes, every item feels thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the dips/sauces complement the food so well. I especially loved how neatly everything was served – it really adds to the dining experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, this restaurant is a gem in Dharamshala – combining taste, presentation, and comfort in the best way possible. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and a memorable dining experience!

A very authentic food with homemade ingredients from scratch. I couldn't see any adulterated ingredients or spices. A thumbs up definitely but can improve the ambience or add some soulful music to go with the food.

Yummy 💚 Local Nepalese/Tibetan restaurant run by two kind young men! They don’t have a fixed menu, but they cook with seasonal, fresh ingredients that day, so stop by to ask what’s available for breakfast or lunch! You won’t regret it!

Some localites recommend this place. Very authentic and delicious food. They noodles were freshly prepared/pulled. It was light and non oily just perfect

Amazing Tibetan food made by a very friendly young man with a big passion for cooking. The ingredients are fresh and the food is delicious. The owner made the soup especially for me on the basis of vegetables and not lamb as I am vegetarian. Definitely visit this authentic and cozy place !

A very good and absolutely authentic Tibetan restaurant that serves up tasty breakfasts and excellent Momos all day long. Also the yak butter tea warms the soul! Go here, give thanks, tip well, and be blessed.

Vege momos from Kelsang’s Kitchen was one of the best I had! 😊🙏 So I had it 3 times. I wish I stayed longer to try all the other dishes too. Kelsang was so helpful too, bit of a life saver connecting me with a good cab driver and other advices. Very much appreciated!! Definitely a must try for authentic Tibetan food after a visit to Namgyal Monastery 🙏🙏😊

The best vegetarian momo I had in Dharamshala! The owner is super kindly and passionate about servicing high quality, tasty menu
