Oak Restaurant

Oak Restaurant is located inside the Te Aroha Resort up in Dhanachuli. If you’re driving toward Mukteshwar, you’ll find us near the Dhanachuli Bend in Tehsil Dhari. Being out here in the hills of Nainital is quite different from running a place in the city. The weather changes fast and sometimes the supply truck takes longer to reach us because of the winding roads. We spend a lot of our time in the kitchen prepping vegetables and making sure the stoves are ready for the lunch crowd. It’s a quiet spot most of the time, except when the resort is full of families. We don't use any complicated menus or fancy terms for our food. We just cook what we know people like to eat after a long day of walking in the fresh air. The staff mostly lives nearby, so we all know each other well. Sometimes we sit outside on the steps when it's slow and just look at the hills. It’s a simple life up here in 263132. We have to be careful with water and electricity because being in the mountains can be tricky. We aren't trying to be a celebrity chef spot. We’re just a restaurant in a resort where you can get a hot meal while looking at the trees. It’s honest work and we like being part of this mountain community. The view makes the long hours a bit easier for everyone.
