Full menu and prices

A mehfil is a gathering

That is the whole idea. Come in after a day on the mountain, pull two tables together, and share a table full of food.

Start with samosa chaat, pass around a mixed grill and a basket of bread, finish with warm gulab jamun. Indian beers, wine and mango lassi are on the menu.

Big groups and families are welcome. For parties of 10 or more, call ahead and we will have your table ready.
