Dining guide

Ananda in the Himalayas Dining Guide

Four cards sit on the dining index: The Restaurant, Palace Lounge, By The Pool, and Private Dining. The Restaurant plates Indian, Asian, and Western in a sal forest overlooking the Rishikesh valley. Tree Top Deck is the outdoor terrace on the same card. The Pavilion, in the restaurant building, is the tea-and-meal room and the only venue with a printed clock — high tea every evening from 4–6 PM. Wine and liqueur there are for guests not on wellness programmes. Palace Lounge is the Viceregal Palace check-in room with ginger-lemon infusion; the index FAQ calls it the tea lounge. By The Pool is the temperature-controlled pool with a juice, shake, or lassi menu. Private Dining books poolside, the Music Pavilion, villa pools, the Ananda Suite gazebo, the Viceregal terrace, or the Palace rooftop, plus picnics at Sunset Point or the Palace lawn — all outdoor dining subject to weather, via reservations@anandaspa.com. No restaurant, pool, or lounge meal hours are printed. No weekly close is printed. In-room dining is available on the FAQ. Alcohol is on request and may be restricted by programme. Chicken and fish may be restricted by programme. There is no formal dress code. Wellness menus change daily; à la carte changes by season. Confirm the day’s service with the house.
