I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aahaar, a truly divine experience. The ambiance was serene, the staff attentive, and the food, oh, the food! Every dish was a masterpiece, prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. The flavors were exquisite, the presentation impeccable, and the overall experience left me feeling nourished and spiritually uplifted. If you're seeking a truly satisfying and wholesome meal, I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.
Aahaar a Vegan Pure Vegetarian cafe in Dharamshala is run by NID graduated couple. Nice vibes, good service, different food…. This is not typical cafe for Pizza, Pasta & spicy food. It is pure veg Satvik food. They don’t use any animal product including Cow Milk, No Sugar is used, oil is not used for cooking. The food options are good fusion of organic ingredients, mix of natural items & cook’s own creativity & food sense to give you pure natural taste without using masala or readymade seasonings. It is not suitable for everyone’s taste - no standard menu of Pizza, Pasta or Rajma Chawal type Indian food. But what they offer is truly unique & natural. Must visit for foodies.
It was my first visit to vegan restaurant and I was really suprised how good the food was. I had pumpkin soup and It was delicious 😋. If you are in Dharamshala and you want to try something refreshing, pure and less spicy and this is the best place for that.
The best restaurant in Dharmshala, in India… in the world… food is fabulous… service is superb and spirit of the owners is out of this world!!
I recently dined at AAHAAR, Dharamshala, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The satvic food they serve is not only delicious but also incredibly nourishing. The positive atmosphere enveloped me from the moment I walked in, and the owner's friendliness and support added an extra layer of warmth to the meal. Thank you for providing such a wonderful culinary and spiritual experience.
What a wonderful place. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared. My wife and I have been vegan for over a decade and the thoughts, flavours, presentation and love that went into all of the food and drinks we tried here were really uplifting and inspiring. The location is really lovely and the family and the staff that run the place are kind and welcoming. It’s so lovely to find such a gem of a place to dine in such a beautiful and remote area. I would certainly recommend this to all of my friends and family. I hope to visit again the next time I am in the area.
