Cafe Swayambhu – The Dining Room
Walking up about 30 metres on a bridle path from the main road and climbing 18 steps, one reaches the dining room. The dining room also serves the purpose of a restaurant. When we have a full house, we serve wholesome buffet meals. The menu comprises vegetarian Indian and Kumaoni dishes. We usually serve traditional home-cooked Indian food.
Satvik set-menu meals are served in the dining room.
We serve breakfast between 07:30 and 09:30 am.
We serve lunch between 01:00 and 02:30 pm.
We serve dinner from 07:30 pm till 09:30 pm.
We also entertain special requests for meals like traditional Kumaoni regional dishes.
Please note that we require sufficient notice for these dishes or we may not cater to such requests.
Ask us for an outdoor private campfire meal. We'd be happy to arrange it for you. It may cost extra though.
We do not have room service at all. However, if you tell us in advance, we may serve a few things in the room, provided the hotel is not too busy.
à la carte menu is available. Check another tab for the menu.
We try to keep spice and chilly levels low, but if you still find the food too hot, let our staff know and we’ll be happy to suit it for your taste.
Please inform us if you have any special dietary requirements.
If you require a packed meal at your departure, please let us know in advance.
We do not allow pets in the dining room.
We do not allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages at the lodge at all.
We stock a limited selection of fresh drinks and mineral water at the lodge. All beverages are chargeable.
We encourage you to drink filtered water as we want to minimize the use of plastics. We serve filtered water that is safe to drink.
We discourage the use of pre-packaged food items and bottled water as it adds to pollution and is an additional cost for us to carry it all the way back to Haldwani for proper disposal. The guests may get their own food items as per their preference and are requested to take away as much non-biodegradable material with them.
We would urge our guests to not smoke in and around the lodge, inside the rooms, and in the dining areas.
