Terrible Experience – Completely Unprofessional and Rude Staff

We had an extremely disappointing experience at The Mountain Story, owned by Kangana Ranaut. Upon arrival, we were allotted a table by the receptionist. However, just five minutes later—and before even taking our order—we were abruptly commanded (not politely requested) to move to another table.

When we asked to be seated outside instead, considering almost all tables were visibly empty, we were told it wasn’t possible. If the table was already reserved, it should never have been given to us in the first place.

To make things worse, the waiter, Chetan, rudely refused to join two tables for us when we requested, displaying zero courtesy or willingness to help. The staff clearly lacks basic manners, professionalism, and hospitality.

I had the chance to visit Out of the Mountain Story, Kangana Ranaut’s beautifully curated restaurant in Manali, and it was such a unique experience. I ordered the Kulavi Thali, which turned out to be pretty good — authentic flavors, wholesome, and a true taste of Himachali tradition. Though the portion size felt a little smaller, the thali itself was delicious and left me satisfied. I tried Siddu as well and it was just perfect.

What makes this place truly special, however, is not just the food but the ambiance. The restaurant is designed like a heritage home — warm, rustic, and deeply rooted in local culture. It feels like a blend of old-world Himachali charm with a touch of elegance. Sitting there, you don’t just enjoy a meal, you get to experience the essence of the mountains, their history, and their stories.

It’s a must-visit if you’re in Manali and want more than just food here, you get heritage, culture, and a sense of place beautifully...
