Kadhai Paneer
The house argument-settler — smoky, slow, and the reason second helpings were invented.
Taste of the Terai
The culinary experience
Farm-fresh from Patkote's fields, cooked slowly, and eaten with a mountain in view. This is the part of the stay people write home about.

Executive Chef · Evara
From the chef's side of the pass
One kitchen, four homes
Our Executive Chef grew up on the food of these hills — dal cooked over slow fires, greens picked the same morning, spices ground by hand because that is how his grandmother did it. After years in city kitchens, he came back to cook the way the Terai eats: patiently.
The kitchen runs North Indian, South Indian, Chinese and Continental — but ask him what to order and he will point at the kadhai paneer, the house argument-settler, and whatever the garden gave up that morning.

Farm to table, honestly
Picked at dawn,
plated by lunch
The kitchen garden supplies herbs and seasonal vegetables straight to the menu; what it cannot grow, Patkote's farms usually can. Milk from the village dairies, mangoes from the orchards our cycling trail rolls past, and compost from the kitchen closing the loop back into the soil.
- Kitchen-garden herbs and seasonal produce, listed daily
- Village-farm vegetables, dairy and orchard fruit first
- Jain, vegan and allergy-aware meals made properly — tell us when you book
- Ask the restaurant what is from the garden today; the answer changes weekly
The taste map
Order these first
Six things the kitchen is quietly proud of — from the tandoor's evening shift to the chai that ends every bonfire.
Kumaoni Thali
Bhatt ki churkani, aloo ke gutke, mandua roti and jhangora kheer — the hills on one plate.
Tandoor Nights
Kebabs, tikkas and naans straight off the coals while the bonfire gets going on the lawn.
The 7:30 Breakfast
The buffet people write home about — live counters, parathas, fresh fruit and mountain light.
Poolside Grills & Chaat
Order from the water — grills, chaat and cold nimbu-paani delivered to your lounger.
Bonfire Chai & Pakora
A drum, a folk singer, a fire — and chai with pakoras doing the rounds until the sky takes over.
In three words
“A home away from home.”
The line guests keep writing about the food here — plates that taste like someone's mother is in the kitchen, because someone's mother taught most of these recipes.
What guests say about the food
Reviewed between bites
Smooth check-in, superb food, and incredibly helpful staff — Chandan and Champa especially. Perfect location for a weekend escape from the city.
Fantastic stay. Friendly staff, seamless check-in, spotless room and a genuinely comfortable bed. Loved the pool, the breakfast buffet and the spa.
Stunning location and genuinely excellent facilities. The live singing in the evening with tea on the lawn made it.
