Ananda Dhaba Mcleodganj — Restaurant in Himachal Pradesh

So I eat here a couple times a week. In fact I was just eating a yellow dal soup I reordered because it was so good—seasoning of the gawds. I really like this place because although it says that the food taste home cooked, it really taste like really good home cooking (not your average home cook). The food taste fresh and it is expertly seasoned which is what sets it apart for me. I cook in a restaurant in NY and for me this place stands out as pretty damn delicious. As I am here to learn Ayurveda, I’m trying to eat well balanced meals so usually I come for the special thali because the thali is probably the best I’ve had and I’m not given a bunch of cheap terrible quality rice to fill me up and distract me. Dal Mhakini is the lentil version of divinity. And the Kadai Paneer is literally like cheese in puffy cloud form in a creamy sauce. Rice jeera is worth the extra rupees. And chipati and papadam have something extra here that make them not run of the mill in anyways. Food aside, Sanjay is always there when I arrive to help make good menu choices and help me give me a couple local tips. (I like to have a place where someone remembers your face). All in all this is a great place to eat & enjoy a healthy and really nicely prepared meal. I’ll be back before the week is out. Many many thanks to them for keeping me nourished with good food while I make Mcleodganj my home base for...
