Himachal Pradesh, India Food Guide: 6 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Dharamsala

October 7, 2019 Terina Blouin

Reviews on European food in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, India. Serenely spiritual Dharamsala is home to the largest Tibetan temple outside of Tibet. It’s known for its religious iconography and is the monastery of the Dalai Lama, who holds public lectures a few times a year. Once you’ve restored your spiritual energy, enjoy a picturesque stroll to Bhagsu Waterfall or climb the hill to Triund to bask in stunning views of the Himalayas.

Pemathang

Reviewed By AtlTravelalot

I am only reviewing this hotel based on Indian standards and not American standards. I would give it two stars (solely for the view and location) for a hotel in the United States.The hotel has a magnificent view and the staff is very accommodating. The rooms are extremely sparse and not at all luxurious. There are two twin beds in each room. The comforters and curtains don't match, the furniture is old and shabby and the wooden floors are beat up. There is no air conditioning (I don't think any hotel in the area has air conditioning). The rooms do have a private balcony with a magnificent view. You can see many different birds from the balcony, so bring binoculars.I couldn't decide whether to give the hotel 3 or 4 stars. Compared to other hotels in the area, I believe this one is better than most. The main problem is that it is very slightly off the beaten path. You never know when the restaurant will be open. Apparently, the hotel relies on the restaurant for bottled water because it isn't always available. Since restaurants in the area don't offer takeout, if you need food or water, it is usually necessary to take a walk to find it. The room has no charm, other than the view. It is simply a functional hotel with basic amenities. I bought sheets and towels because the linens are very old and the towels smelled terrible when they got wet. I don't think they were dirty, but years of laundering in polluted water has given them a permanent odor.

Known this place for three years now and love it! It's a nice and cozy place to hangout with some friends, read a book, have a chai and enjoy some tasty food. I personally love the different kind of porridge they have for breakfast and my partner loves the homemade granola with fresh cow milk. For lunch or dinner I mostly have the glass noodle salad with honey mustard sauce (the best!) or the crepe with tofu spinach pesto. My partner loves also the chai (strong) and the meatless burger.They do water refill which I appreciate a lot, much better for the environment! The Pacha Mamma crew is always friendly, they love music so sometime there is a unplanned jam starting, they are always up for a chat and they serve good food! It's a place you have to check out :)

Away from the city shore when your heart calls for a break this place will do every kind of healing from calming your mind to reaching out to your souls with lovely people around, I ideally Came along with my mother and trust me not for a second we found this place less than any other property around despite being hostel It felt as safe as any other star hotel and happening as ZOSTEL’s previously called as shivalay hotel 50 meters down the slope opposite Aditya cafe on the way to zostel is This place is a must visit! You will find every person behind the counter as good as some one familiar. Now talking about accessible factor.1. You can get your cab just at 50 meters away from place which keeps the place calm and your feet’s on place, unlike zostel where you have to walk for never ending path.2. It’s the most hygienic place to live in.3. The bed is less than 499 per night.4. It’s less than 1km from vipasana meditation Center.5. The comfort is at its best.6. It’s safe also if you are planing to stay alone.

Worth stopping by! Nice choice of food and cakes look awesome. It's on temple road but you have to look up to find it. ;) Very relaxed atmosphere, perfect to read or work for a while.

Nick's Italian Kitchen

Rude unhelpful staff; couldn’t be bothered to explain or even give us any condiments as they had already cleared the tables by 8.15pm. We ordered mushroom gnocchi, a ravioli & thupka: thupka was tasteless, gnocchi stodgy & ravioli soggy and totally lacking any flavour. Just not worth eating, couldn’t get out of there fast enough! Very disappointed by the whole experience.

Illiterati

Reviewed By Jill_2703

Illiterati Cafè is worth the downhill walk from central Mcleod Ganj to experience eating against the backdrop of the beautiful view they face. For the not-so-fit, I advise a taxi ride uphill back to town. The restaurant serves delicious food in a venue surrounded by books.
