I recently had food here and had a mixed experience. The food was absolutely delicious and well-prepared dishes that truly satisfied my taste buds. However, the service was quite slow, which was a bit frustrating. Additionally, I recommend carrying cash for payments, as there was a network issue affecting UPI transactions. Overall, a great place for tasty food, but be prepared for a wait and bring cash.

Stayed for two nights and it was great. The local food made by our host was delicious and just what we needed after a couple of days of hard riding in the mountains. Highly recommended
