Set in the serene hills of Kasauli, NAAR is a destination in every sense—an immersive three-hour lunch experience crafted by Chef Prateek Sadhu and his team. With more than eight thoughtfully composed courses, the tasting menu is a deep exploration of local harvests and regional produce, presented with precision and quiet drama. Rare mountain flavors take center stage, transformed into dishes that feel both rooted and radically inventive, with pairings that surprise and linger long after the last bite. The beverage program mirrors the kitchen’s philosophy, carrying the same depth, storytelling, and bold experimentation as the food. Reservations are essential, as NAAR is open only for lunch service—unless you’re staying at the nearby property, which allows for a more private extension of the experience. It’s not just a meal; it’s a slow, deliberate celebration of place, produce, and craft.

Loved every bit at NAAR. The 15 course tasting menu sounded like leaving us hungry at the end but when we went by course after course over a period of three hours it ensured we skipped dinner as well. (we ate during lunch time) The menu is full of surprises and would recommend anyone not to go doing good research but go for the delight elements. The road to the restaurant can be a bit of a challenge but worth the drive. Tip - Ensure you take time out and interact with the people cooking and serving you and take a good tour of the open kitchen.

One of the best food experiences I've had in India. The NAAR team goes the extra mile with the amazing location, vibe, attention to detail, and warmth. I enjoyed each aspect of the meal. - Each course was exciting, and I was anticipating it - The cocktail pairing was also brilliant Worth the trek all the way to Kasali. Do not miss this at all. 🔥
