Khyber Bar & Restaurant

Up here in Manali, things change quite a bit depending on the season. We are located right on The Mall, which is basically the center of everything in the city. When it’s winter and there is snow everywhere, people come inside to escape the cold. It’s a bar and a restaurant, so you can get a drink or sit down for a full meal. We have been here for a long time, and we see all kinds of people coming through. Some are tourists who are just visiting the mountains for the first time, and others are locals who live here year-round. The City Centre area is always moving, with people walking up and down the street looking at shops. Inside our place, we keep it a bit more relaxed. The lighting isn't too bright, and we have the usual wooden tables you see in many mountain spots. We serve various dishes, mostly the kind of food that fills you up when it's chilly outside. Our staff knows the regulars by name, and we try to get the food out as fast as we can, though it gets slow when the place is packed on weekends. It’s a straightforward business. We aren't trying to be the fanciest spot in town, just a reliable place where you can get a beer and some hot food after a long day of walking around Manali. You can see the mountains from the street outside, which is always a nice view for everyone.
