CALL - 9736083878 FOR FREE HOME DELIVERY

We have been running “Taste of India” since 1995 a long time. Being the first restaurant to be “published” in “Lonely Planet” In Mcleodganj.We have re-located 2 years back from jogiwara road( centre of market) to now- “Opposite Tipa Dharamkot road” in Mcleodganj. People are missing our food. New Location - Our new location which is just 800 meters away from main square which is 2 min drive and a 10 minute walk only on dharamkot road just opposite TIPA  .Our new arrangement offers a beautiful “garden restaurant” with exotic plants and “amazing views” of the valley.

Our food - We not only cook good food but it is our passion to be consistent with our quality we are sure of providing the food to all people who are willing to taste some delicious Indian food which is not “bland” or “over spicy” neither “oily” or “stale”.

If you feel lazy to leave your room -  Generally, people staying in hotels do not get the “desired” meals within there rooms and have to compromise with whatever they get even if that food may not be upto the mark and no vacation is complete without food. But our food delivery will provide you a “range” of “north-indian cuisine.

We serve fresh, hygienic, aromatic flavours . We deliver in”Mcleodganj” and nearby places like – Dharamkot, Bhagsu-nag, Tibetan library etc. If tyou are staying a little far off you can always call us and discuss for “delivery” and we will be more than happy if we could serve you our food.

We too offer “packed-lunches” for trekking/pic-nic or a “get away”. Just visit us on the new location or dial – 9736083878, 9736040937 to experience “authentic Indian food”

“serenity” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2012 "I was traveling alone to Mcleodganj from Shillong and was really unsure of how to get a comfortable and safe place to stay. I was so glad to come across Flourishing Flora through Tripadvisor, that i didnt have a second thought but called up Anil Sarin if I could be accommodated there. Luckily I was and when I reached this beautiful place I was completely mesmerized by the serenity of the place and the beauty of the surroundings. This homestay is infact the best here and the room that i chose was this wooden cabin and it was so so cozy and warm, very comfortable and makes you feel at home. If one is looking for a peaceful retreat, then this room is the best. The breakfast was awesome. One should not miss the banana pancakes. Dinner is superb and relishing. Last but not the least, the hosts were very hospitable. Each and every one of you, Anil, Nisha, Sahil and Bhushan, thank you so much for your warm hospitality. I indeed had the best stay and i do wish to come back someday and stay there another time." ( As Sent on Trip Advisor) ---monalisapyngrope, Shillong, India monalisapyngrope Shillong, India

I was on a road trip and i'm traveler who likes to stay in homestays n hostels as i like to meet people . I believe great conversations take place when we meet new people . It totally surpassed my expectations . So i like places which are peaceful n away from noise n all the chaos of a city . This place is perfect . It is a 10 minute walk from mcleodganj mainsquare n on the road to dharmkot . Its away from all the chaos of town and very peaceful . You could simply enjoy your morning tea in peace with a amazing view of the mountains from the in house cafe . The walk to mcleodganj main square( centre of town ) is very photogenic n thus keep your cameras ready :p . Since its a homestay so please dont expect it to be a normal hotel . It is a family run and sahil the amazing guy handles the guest part . He was so caring about his guests that i noticed that he doesnt sleep unless his guests are back home and especially concerned regarding safety of women . The food was very well served and the rooms were very clean .this time i was in family room but next time i want to stay in the hut they have on the top floor . That room gives a breathtaking view . So if you get that room consider yourself lucky as the valley view is to die for . I prefer travelling like a local n meeting new people thus homestays gives you that experience were i made some amazing friends from across the globe . I loved the place so much that i stayed an extra night out there . Sahil n family has perfected the art to give experience of a homestay and services of a hotel . Also i missed out on the special roasted chicken that mrs. Sarin makes , make sure you dont miss it :( . Simply amazing . Thank you sahil n family uday b

“Friendly, clean and beautiful!” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2014 This review is very late, but I just had to write this because my stay at McLeodganj Homestay was just so fabulous. I stayed here for two nights and the hosts Nisha Aunty and her son Saahil were ever so helpful. Right from booking the homestay, everything went so smoothly that I didn't have anything to worry during my trip. The Saris have a beautiful house with a small cafe and a wonderful small nursery. The house looks beautiful when lit up at night. The room was decent and clean. There was a small water issue one day but they were prompt to solve it. I fell ill on the second day and they were very helpful at that time. A wonderful place to stay while in McLeodganj (though it is little walk uphill from the main town). Stayed June 2014, travelled solo monty1505 Kochi
