Visiting this place the 2nd time, now since the COVID restrictions have been removed the place was almost full. Good to see this place so lively. This time we had ordered: Flaming lollipop - the waiter gets the dish to your table and light's up the lolipop with a bit of alcohol. The chicken burns right in front you soaking the alcohol flavour. The taste was too good and the quantity is more than enough for 2 people, do try this dish if you happens to visit. Burnt Garlic Chicken Fried Rice - This dish was tasty and the quantity is quite good, it is topped up with some scrambled omlet which completes the dish. Butter Chicken Masala Gravy - nothing too out of the world but it is butter chicken so it is delicious Mango Mojitos - We tried this for the first time , it was really good and refreshing, and since the mango season is just around the corner, this really hits the right spot. Give this a try if you are not a fan of hard drinks. Pink Panther - this drink was a bit overkill, too many ingredients it also had some chocolate and ice cream in it. Personally dint like the composition, but if you like chocolate and ice cream in your cocktails go for it. We happen to visit during the Happy Hours hence we got 1+1 on cocktails. Overall - Good food, drinks...
Read moreThe start of mountains the end of valleys. The end of rest the beginning of journeys. Finish the wine begin the feast. End the meal start the dessert. Break the quiet join the beat. Quit the normal embrace the quirky. Under a giant mango tree nestles this cool outdoor Dhaba with wall frescoes and vehicle cutouts and sawed off wooden benches. Plastered walls have colored collages and glued in bric a brac. The open to sky area has water shafts plastic shhets and chiselled whittles of tree barks to lend it at once a rustic and roguish look. Once, murderous bands of robbers may have slaked their thirst with rice wine and Himachali Dhan thaalis and nautch girls under black, thunderous skies. Staff dresses in black and serves you with a merry spring in their step. Trust their restrooms to be clean and fragrant. Have a beer and try their specials on offer. Must have a pit stop up or down Kangra. Folks from Pathankot drive up on weekends, when you need to book ahead, and enjoy drinks and live music. Oh, live music can range from Pink Floyd to bathroom singers- here you'll get the average 'India Got...
Read moreI was on my way to Dharamshala/McLeodganj when we came across this gem on the highway called Firangi Dhaba.It was a breath of fresh air on the highway which have shady, unhygienic dhabas. But, as we entered this eatery it's not the traditional dhaba its more like a modern cafe which one finds in New Delhi or Mumbai.Amazing decor to go by.We tried various dishes as we were 6 people and which were all great. But, some standout dishes were Dhunni Chicken, Khatta Meat, Bhutta Curry and Veg.Himachali Dham Thali.They were absolutely lip smacking. On our way back to New Delhi we made sure we stop again at this eatery as we could not get enough of it.This time we tried the Angrezi fare comprising of Triple Cheese Roll, Cheese Fondue and Pasta in Arabiatta sauce as usual it was fantastic. In the end, Kudos to the team to come up with such a concept on a highway. I strongly recommend for everyone passing on this highway to try this brilliant Firangi...
