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”

Had a wonderful and very comfortable Time in the homestay. Here we stayed 2 nights in their special upper cottage. The owners Mr. & Mrs. Sarin takes very good care about their guests, they are very polite and helpful. The food that Mrs. Sarin cooks wonderful food, utterly delicious much better than any restaurant you choose, the best part is you will fill like a home. The location near the McLeod Ganj was very beautiful. It takes 20 mins by Taxi from Dharamsala ISBT bus stand to reach the Homes stay. Abhishek_229

Fabulous stay! We had a wonderful stay at this cozy B&B. The Sarins were always very helpful and gracious. The breakfasts were great every morning, served hot and at whatever time was comfortable for us (usually around 10am as we were traveling with 3 teenagers). We all loved sitting on the patio each morning in the sun. The air was cold in February but the rooms had space heaters (for use from 8pm to 8am for an extra 100Rp per night) and extra blankets. We had roast chicken in front of a wood fire one evening and would have eaten more evening meals at the home stay had the evening temps been a little warmer. Happily, there are no shortage of great restaurants in Mcleodganj. The wifi was slow but reception was good. The walk to town took only about 10 minutes and was quiet, scenic and very enjoyable (though steep) and we did it several times each day. We were in Mcleodganj for a week and still didn't have time to explore all the local sites, restaurants and shopping. Flourishing Flora was a perfect place for our family and we would highly recommend it to others who are looking for a clean, comfortable, well located authentically Indian experience.

“Homestay at private bungalow!!” 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2014 1) Mcleodganj Homestay is located at flourishing flora on dharamkot road, exactly 800 meters or 7-8 minute walk from Mcleodganj Main square. I stayed here with a group second time. This is a private bungalow suitable for travelers who want to stay in homestay. This property is designed in excellent way that although being a homestay your privacy is maintained. Since each room having independent entrance and with a private bathrooms. The feel of the location IS SUCH THAT IT TAKES AWAY ALL THE MENTAL STRESS THAT IS THERE IN YOUR DAILY LIFE AND PRESENTS A PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE DUE TO THE VIEW OF THE VALLEY AND THE PINE TREES THAT SURROUND YOU. On my arrival owners son sahil and kulbhushan welcomed us. And served delicious breakfast cooked by aunty Nisha . After having the breakfast we kept sitting on the wooden deck which is so nicely decorated with different plants and flowers, you never feel like leaving the table. Property is small with simplicity embedded and cleanliness is maintained very well. I never got to know that when did these 3 days went away. I will definitely come back.
