NAAR

Amazing experience! Totally worth every penny. The food was amazing - we tried 15 different dishes and everything was mind-blowing either vegetarian options and non-vegetarian ones. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They played a huge part in the whole experience because we felt really taken care of. Worth visiting and experiencing this unique journey!

Naar is one of the best fine dining restaurants in India. It is also set in the magical backdrop of the Himalayas, which makes it very special. As the 100 year old Michelin guide would say " ☆☆☆ : Exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey"

Nestled high in the Himalayas, Naar offers a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience that marries the breathtaking beauty of the mountains with exceptional culinary artistry. Spearheaded by chef Prateek Sadhu, Naar is deeply rooted in a philosophy of sustainability and seasonality. With an on-site farm providing organic, locally-sourced ingredients, every dish at Naar reflects the purity and flavors of the region. The sixteen courses are a journey through both- traditional Himalayan flavors and contemporary techniques, crafted to create a unique fusion that feels both grounded and innovative. Dishes such as the smoked cheese cheeseballs offer an irresistible start, blending rich, smoky flavors with a delicate crunch. The lamb 'ceviche' on a nettle leaf is a bold combination of freshness and earthiness, with tender lamb paired with the sharp, green notes of nettle, creating a marriage made in heaven. For those who love umami, the smoked trout on toast is a delicate yet impactful dish, with the smokiness of the trout elevating the simplicity of the humble toast. The black wheat noodles with lamb bring together the earthy richness of hand pulled noodles in the deep flavors of a rich gravy, creating a comforting yet luxurious dish, especially when it's freezing outside! It's a small bowl of noodle soup you could clutch on to on a cool winter night. A true standout is the kulcha-like bread with duck pickle, where the soft, warm, horse gram floured bread envelops perfectly aged duck, melding the textures and flavors in a heavenly bite. I'm not done yet, the hearty porridge with crispy pork, a soulful dish that combines the deep smokiness of pork with the creamy texture of porridge, delivering a satisfying and warming experience. To end our meal, of course on a sweet note, the green apple sorbet provided a refreshing, tart contrast, while the burnt milk ice cream brings a rich, caramelized sweetness to end the meal on a decadent note. At Naar, every dish tells a story of the land, the seasons, and the artistry of Chef Prateek Sadhu, inviting us to not only taste but also experience the spirit of the Himalayas in every bite.

It’s Pahadi ‘Noma’ in our very own backyard. What a gutsy move by chef Prateek and his fantastic team to open a restaurant here in the middle of nowhere. Excellent interpretation of Himalayan cuisine using local ingredients. We tried the set menu with wine and cocktail pairing, wines were decent but the cocktails were amazing. All this served in a beautiful minimalistic setting by very competent and pleasant staff. All power to you guys.

A delicious and adventurous journey up to Naar. It's a deliciously unique experience I've never had before. The menu apparently changes often, based on what the mountain offers! Looking forward to another visit 😀

Very much overhyped. Tasted 16 things nothing was a WOW. The taste was pretty average main course was below average. Cocktails were Great. Service was amazing. But in my personal opinion it is neither worth the hype nor the effort to go Kasauli to have an over expensive below average food.

NAAR is a culinary playground where the spirit of the Himalayas comes alive. Translating to fire in Kashmiri, NAAR is a reference to chef Prateek Sadhu’s passion and mission to spotlight Himalayan cuisine with his signature playful and respectful approach, while telling the stories of this vast and inspiring land and its people. Experience the flavours of the world’s greatest mountain range, in what we’re calling Himalayan-forward cuisine, that spans six unique seasons and champions the very best ingredients from this unique terrain. One of the unique and best food experiences in the region, chef Kamesh Negi is like a book of botany , having knowledge of so many herbs , plants and shrubs. Just a conversation with him and he takes you to ladhak, utrakhand, Himalayas and even abroad Food is awesome and the location is perfect with a beautiful valley view from the dining room.

An incredible experience, with an amazing, truly hospitable team, and a gorgeous setting. The flavours are incredible and exquisite, plus the local touch in the menu makes it superb! The 15 course tasting menu had use eating for nearly 3hrs, and we asked for seconds for many dishes 🤤 Quite expensive yes, but also worth it. Well, you have to go prepared to spend that much for everything that is on offer.
