Hotel jeewan palace and joshjus restaurant — Hotel in Uttarakhand

Food to me, goes beyond a means of sustenance ...it has something to tell. Always!||||Kumaon is known for its spell-binding views of the Himalayas, peaceful retreats in the mountains and impatient rivers, but food rarely finds a mention. The restaurant of the Jeewan hotel- 'Joshju's' tucked in the suave hill-station takes the tourists to a different level. Scalloped stainless steel platters, bowls and glasses with warm food actually.smell better than Dior! Joshju's is, most definitely, worth a visit! ||||The owner, Siddhart Joshi introduced us to the eclectic (and mostly unknown) Kumaoni cuisine with great interest. The hot chapattis made from flour obtained from mudd (millet seeds) and buckwheat with pahari alu ( fried delectable potato wedges with local condiments), bhatt ki daal ( mixture of lentils boiled together, seasoned and served with dollops of butter), jholi (something like punjabi kurry) and exotic bhaang ki chutney were a few dishes that we tasted here! The quality of food was excellent! ||||So the next time you are in Kumaon to admire the magnificence of the snow-capped peaks squeeze in a day or two to explore the food offered by this restaurant – it will certainly spice up your Himalayan experience!||||We didn't stay overnight in Almora, but, Siddhart took us around the neat and tidy rooms they have in offer for the tourists. The rooms are a bit small...but, loaded with adequate facilities. The courtesy offered by the staff and the owner was stupendous!||||On our way back from Binsar, we informed Siddharth to keep the same menu ready for us one more time. He handed the portions and watched them scooped out with the same speed and gusto- surely we were looking like the cannibals at...

Hotel Jeewan Palace & Joshju’s restaurant is located at Mall Road, Almora, Uttarakhand. It is opposite Bhairav temple and center of the city.

Bed sheets and towel was not so sparkling clean. Washroom was little smelly.

Room size was not so big. Room has some spaces around doors where cool winds can come inside.

Table was not so cleaned. Parking four wheelers is little difficult here.

It has a restaurant on the first floor.

I would avoid this property and wouldn’t recommend it for...
