    Any bad review you’ve read about this place … forget about it. They are under new management, they have recently finished renovating, and updating the menu. I loved my visit so much my first time there I decided to go back a few days later. Their salads were fresh, their steam buns were perfect, really tasty hummus platter, and some of the best dessert in town. The only dessert in town that has a firm, crunchy, GrahamCracker crust .

    Beautiful interior Cosy place for breakfast, lunch and dinner Thupka could have been better in terms of quantity of soup. The noodles were too loaded and wasn’t in right proportion with the amount of soup and veggies. But the taste was good Must try- Cappuccino and broccoli chicken stir fry. Those were absolute bomb and so was the veg omelette

    We loved every thing we had. It is so worth the hype. We had double roasted pork, Tibetan thali and Tolumein chicken soup. Every single thing was so filling and so delicious. It was our first meal in McLeod and a great start to our trip.

    After reading some good reviews about it online me and my family decided ti have our brunch here. We ordered A manchow shoup along with some unique handcrafted dimsums and a pad Thai. Their pad thai was unfortunately even less craftful and authentic than a chow Mein from a local roadside vendor, with flavours and ingredients going haywire. The dimsums were ordered without mushrooms but they came with the mushrooms and the owner kept on insisting that it didn't contain mushrooms even after we showed him a few pcs. Finally we enjoyed our manchow soup and left it to try some of the other more authentic cafes in Mc leod

    We were full after all day eateries hopping but we had to visit this place for the much talked about Nepali Thali. It was delicious, fresh, homely, less spicy, flavourful and served hot. We were allowed to share unlike many places . The chicken curry was so tasty and the chicken was fresh and tender. Will visit the place again to try other dishes.

    Scrumptious! Vegetables were all crunchy and juicy, each topping discernible from the others. Cheese was just perfect, stringy as it should be as you lift each piece trying not to drop anything. Coupled with the spotlessly clean cutlery and condiment tray a five star review was always going to happen. A classy dining experience in the heart of the town.

  • 5/5 Aishwarya T. 3 years ago on Google
    Gem place to visit for a lunch/dinner in Mcleodganj. We visited this places just to sample the wood oven pizza and it took us by surprise. One of the best pizza places in the area. The crust was so soft and delicious. After trying one pizza, we came back again to this place to try out some more stuff. Even the deserts served here were mouth-watering especially the Choco Mousse Cake.

  • 4/5 Vrinda S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has fast service and decent food. It wasn’t very crowded on Sunday afternoon (when everything else was jam packed) and the portions and pricing is good. Would recommend trying the chowmein and Hong Kong style gravy and even the vegetarian steamed momos. Only negative - can improve on the hygiene a tad.

  • 1/5 surya p. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there after going through reviews. But shockingly the food was pathetic and more than that the response by the staff when we gave our feed back about the taste and texture was depressing. Seems like their top priority is making money than satisfying customers and providing them good food. Really horrible experience, Try avoiding this place, as there are plenty of other options around the place.

  • 1/5 Ban B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went with great expectations and came out with bad feeling. I rarely put review unless it leaves a lasting impact. This is probably one such instance. Two gents sitting next to us ordered Thupka - I could hear them saying it's totally bland. They asked the waiter to provide some sauce. Waiter kindly informed the lady-in-charge who assisted with set of sauces and I heard her saying "this is how we make Thupka". 2 minutes later I see those two guys walking towards cash counter to pay. I asked what were they eating and should I order it - one of them said without a flinch that it's tasteless. I inquired if he knows how an authentic Thupka tastes like - to which he said "plenty of time I have been to Dharmshala and had it, if the owner doesn't like us we won't come back". While walking out he said - do try the bakery though, it's good. To which we obliged and ordered 1 blueberry cake and 2 chocolate cake pieces. Later was good. A group of 3 young people came and sat on the other side of us. They ordered some shake. I notice after a few sip all of them decided to call the waiter to ask for some sugar as the shake was less sweet. The lady-in-charge came to inform they add honey not sugar to which the youngsters said add honey. No issue. The lady-in-charge grinded her teeths... Our order - with high hopes we ordered a few things, I ordered Pad Thai but I got some slimy spicy noodle with corn and ketchup. Puzzled I didn't knew what to do other than asking people in my group to taste if they like. Nobody liked the looks let alone the taste. We had 5-6 other orders billing Rs1890, way more than what I would expect to pay for the quality of food that was served. Curiously, I asked if the lady-in-charge knows how Pad Thai is made? to which she replied "this is how we make it". Without me asking if she would charge for food that someone won't eat - she somehow expected this question and answered "we have put efforts making it and I will charge for it". Since she opened the money topic - I asked "would you consider replacing it with some other food that is edible". She bluntly said "you can order another item but Pad Thai will be charged as well". We finished our food at our leisure (except me), paid and walked out. I got disheartened by the behaviour of lady-in-charge. Food was anyways bad, but it's normal to encounter both tasty and not so yummy food when you travel Price: High $$$ for the food standard, taste. Business is about money but when someone is in food serving business - I believe it is also important that your customers don't go out empty stomach.
