Beautiful pine-covered hills of Solan, Himachal Pradesh have a lovely restaurant called NAAR. This restaurant is recognised as the love letter to the mountain because of its great picturesque ambience and food.
This brilliant restaurant is led by Prateek Sandhu and his team, who dedicatedly offer a sensory exploration of Himalayan produce, making a seasonal menu with various flavours from spring to winter, bringing in the Pahari aesthetics to each one who dines there.
The dining experience is more of a theatrical journey, starting with cocktails and canapés with a multi-course meal designed around mountain-sourced ingredients. Granita, made with sea buckthorn picked off of thorny shrubs in Ladakh and umami-cured trout toasts, offers a special flavour that can only be found at NAAR.
When it comes to ambience, the environment and the location, as well as surrounding wood, slate, and sustainable essence, make it even more aesthetic and mystical. The restaurant in hill station is truly known for adapting the perfect setting to have unique food provided by the mountain, giving it a twist of creativity and innovation.
Even when you look at the staff, they have upcycled denim aprons. The NAAR team also has a four-legged friend, Imli, to welcome the guest, an adorable adopted pup who gives everyone a cosy familial vibe.
Chef Prateek Sandhu is known for his foraging expeditions and Kashmiri roots. All the ingredients provided by the forest come from an extensive knowledge of forging by his staff and other members who help the restaurant.
This one-of-a-kind experience elevates the taste of the food; knowing the food is from where you are dining and is locally hand-picked to perfection provides the guest with a special feeling that cannot be shaken off. NAAR proudly secured the 7th spot at the Condé Nast Traveller x Zomato Top Restaurant Awards 2024, where 50 top restaurants were awarded.
