A Kumaoni Culinary Delight in Nainital

Tucked away in the picturesque hills of Nainital, Naini Retreat offers a serene getaway amidst nature's splendour.

But what truly makes this retreat stand out is its Kumaoni and multi-cuisine food, expertly crafted to suit all taste buds! Here are my top picks from this heritage property's in-house restaurant Gurney House and the Stella Bar!

BREAKFAST BUFFET: The breakfast buffet at Naini Retreat boasted an impressive array of options. The spread included traditional Indian dishes such as paranthas, chole bhature, dosa and idli; continental favorites such as baked beans, hummus, pita, waffles and eggs; and local specialties such as halwa, achaari aloo and ragi breads! The aloo tamatar sabzi and their special masala chai were noteworthy, offering a delightful blend of spices and flavors.
