Tibet Kitchen

Mcleod Ganj


The dated if comfy red-padded seating isn't especially enticing but a notable attraction here is trying spicy Bhutanese food including kewa datse (potatoes, beans and chilli in cheese sauce, ₹210). There's plenty of other fare including Thai, Chinese and unusual Tibetan dishes including shapta (roasted lamb slices with capsicum and onion, ₹250).
