Gastronomy with a View

Royal kumaoni recipes. Continental classics. The lake, always within sight.

Restaurant
The Restaurant

An open kitchen. A slow fire. Forty seats.

Our restaurant — Aangan — is a quiet pavilion at the heart of the palace. By day, the lake fills the windows. By night, brass lanterns light the stone arches, and the wood-fired chulha sings.

A small, considered menu — half a dozen kumaoni heirlooms, half a dozen continental classics — re-imagined daily.
