I have been at this cafe many times during my recent visit to Mcleodganj. I love trying new cafes and new dishes but I found myself going to this place again and again - The staff is very hospitable and the food is nice too. The view from the outdoor seating area especially on the second floor has a very heavenly view of the mountains.

A Perfect Dining Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pahari Cafè, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with fresh ingredients. Whether you're a fan of hearty meals or light, flavorful bites, there's something for everyone on the menu. The atmosphere was just as impressive. The cozy yet stylish ambiance made the dining experience even more enjoyable, perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. To top it all off, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Their recommendations were spot on, and they truly made us feel welcome. Overall, I highly recommend Pahari Cafè to anyone looking for a fantastic meal with great service and a wonderful atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This was our second trip to McLeod Ganj, and after trying several restaurants in the area, none came close to the food experience we had at Pahari Cafe. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented — truly tempting and delicious in every bite. Located right in the heart of McLeod Ganj, the cafe offers a stunning panoramic view of the valley, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful meal with a breathtaking backdrop. We ordered: • Fresh Lime Soda • Mojito • Pink Sauce Penne Pasta • Stuffed Grilled Chicken Breast with Cheese Sauce & Sautéed Vegetables • Steamed Chicken Momos Every dish was served with generous portions and tasted absolutely amazing. From the refreshing drinks to the creamy pasta and juicy grilled chicken, everything was top-notch. Special mention to the hospitality of the entire staff — they were incredibly attentive, polite, and made great recommendations. You can tell they truly care about the customer’s experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting McLeod Ganj. Whether you’re here for the food or the view — you’ll walk away satisfied with both.

A very pretty place with ambient seating and mesmerising view. The staff were very polite and sweet. They suggested us to have jhol momos, which i must tell you was yummy. We enjoyed every bit of it with the view of snow capped mountains. A full 10 on 10 to this place.
