The Glen, Restobar — Restaurant in Uttarakhand

This place wasn't in my plan but however I ended up going to it looking at the ambience and seating arrangements. I mean if you honestly consider who wouldn't wanna go here for a couple of drinks and food after a good walk on the road that too on a good sunny afternoon with a view of dehradun to look at! However, things are not always as they seem, here's how it went for me.

I enter the place and notice about 4-5 men standing at the reception totally unbothered and unwelcoming, I take it casually. Then after taking a look at the ambience I decided to sit on a table close to the door that went to the balcony. Well it was not the best choice I made because guess what? The washroom was located right next to it and what's worse? the strong whiff that came with the blowing wind. I almost threw up. :)

Then, I decided to complain but by then the door was closed and the smell had gone. So, I instantly took to ordering food since I was hungry in my head and after a good 25 mins of waiting came my food. However, it wasn't just food that was served to me but dusty plates and cutlery along with it which I ended up wiping with the tissue. Now comes the food,

Dahi Kebab: Decently prepared, the quality too was impressive. Soft, creamy and the right anount of spices with a good coat of crunch. I'll give it a good 3.5 on 5 including the presentation.

Bbq Chicken Wings: In all honestly, I'll give it a 3 on 5. I'll admit that the sauce was finger licking good and even the quantity was fair enough. However the drawback was that the chicken stank to me. Now this is highly something that only I experienced. You know how chicken just smells, especially old frozen-thawed chicken. On the other hand, it wasn't the case with the person I went. The other person found it decent.

Drinks: Cosmopolitan & Mojito Cocktail Not the best cocktails, I'd rather take a coke next time if I end up going there. I ended up paying price for something that wasn't even decent enough to be called a cocktail. It more or less tasted like a mocktail with little or no alcohol. Highly sweetened too!

What next? I decided to call for the cheque and run away!

But yes, if I have to list some positives for the place they'd be: The ambience: the ambience is more or less like a restro-pub with a space for live band to perform which is very rare in mussorie. I'm assuming that hopefully this place looks better in the night with music and people.

The range of menu is also something you don't easily find at a local cafe/restaurant in the hills.

The location too honestly, this cafe is located right opposite to Chick-chocolate so let's say right in the centre! It definately won't take you long to spot it.

You googled about the best place in Mussoorie. So The Glen, we also reached almost the same way you guys gonna reach. Google about the best pubs and restaurants in Mussoorie with live band. The Glen is on the Mall Road but it’s closer from the Landour side. I must say the icing over the cake of our Mussoorie trip was to visit The Glen. We came here on Sunday night and did not expect what we got. We reached at 8pm and stayed till it closed. The ambience the look the decor of the place is simply amazing and beautiful. When you go inside it is quite huge with a large seating capacity with a balcony where people can go for smoking as smoking is not allowed inside the restaurant. The food is yummy and whatever you order you are gonna cherish every bite of it. The drinks are not expensive and comparable with others. And then comes the best part about the Glen, the live music, the live band, the singers and the way they keep you on your toes. From the songs which will cherish your friendship and make you remember your old days to you singing and dancing to the new Numbers you have it all. The way they play guitar you are simply left in happiness that you arrived here. They have a little dance floor so stop worrying and dance your night away. Don’t read and waste your time just head to the Glen for the best time...

I visited THE GLEN with 6 other people ( age 16-26) as we all wanted to try a new place in Mussoorie and the reviews of the restaurant was 4+ online on zomato which was pretty amazing. As soon as we entered the place there were several tables that were vacant (Time : around 8 pm on a friday night) so we went onto take the table that could accommodate all 7 of us. As soon as we sat down (literally 5 seconds) the waiter comes up to tell us that the “MINIMUM BILL REQUIREMENT IS OF ₹8000/“ Upon hearing such extravagant condition we left at that time. To my surprise there was no such condition mentioned either on their board outside the premises nor at any online site (Google, Zomato) I read a few reviews on zomato (which I didn’t pay heed to earlier) mentioning the conditions such as “WILL SERVE ONLY IF YOU CONSUME ALCOHOL” and “ASKING IF THEY WOULD CONSUME ALCOHOL” Then i was pretty sure their conditions change for every customer and instead of refusing them to serve (which can be really derogatory for their business) they simply put different conditions so that the customer leave on their own. Would never recommend such a place to anyone. Infact there are other places which not only have live music, good food and a humble staff but has an overall good positive vibe...
