Dining

Flavours of Kumaon, served with a view.
At Amaraya, dining is not a convenience — it is part of the stay itself. Seasonal ingredients sourced from the orchards and farms of the Kumaon hills, regional flavours that shift with the harvest, and settings that make the landscape an inseparable part of every meal. For those looking for restaurants in Ramgarh, Uttarakhand that go beyond the expected, Amaraya offers something rarer: the table as an experience in its own right.
Each of our dining settings has its own character, its own relationship with the light and the landscape — and its own particular pleasure.

The Dining Room

The Dining Room is the warm heart of Amaraya — an unhurried space where mornings begin slowly and evenings find their natural rhythm. Natural materials, soft mountain light, and interiors that feel both refined and genuinely welcoming set the tone for a culinary philosophy rooted in Kumaoni tradition. The menu draws on local produce, regional recipes, and the kind of attentive, personal service that only a property of eleven rooms can offer.

Whether you arrive for a leisurely breakfast before a forest walk, return hungry after an afternoon at Kainchi Dham, or gather at the table for dinner as the hills go dark — The Dining Room is where the day comes together. One of the most considered places to eat near Nainital, it makes no effort to be anything other than exactly what it is: honest, unhurried, and very good.

The Walnut Tree Garden

Beneath the shade of a magnificent old walnut tree, the garden opens into one of the most quietly enchanting outdoor dining settings in the Kumaon hills. Dappled light, the sound of birds, the scent of the surrounding orchard — this is farm to table dining in Uttarakhand in its most literal and most beautiful form. The Walnut Tree Garden is the setting for long lunches, afternoon high teas, intimate celebrations, and private gatherings where nature is not merely the backdrop but the host.

The Lower Deck

Tucked along a secluded garden pathway, the Lower Deck is Amaraya’s most private dining setting. Sheltered, intimate, and quiet, it is designed for those who want a meal that belongs entirely to them — a personalised breakfast, a romantic dinner, a chef’s table experience for two, or a private family gathering away from the main house. The surrounding garden and the sounds of the hillside do the rest.

The Upper Deck

The Upper Deck opens to a panoramic sweep of the Kumaon valley and the forests beyond. At sunrise, the peaks catch the first light. At dusk, the valley settles into colour. At night, the sky above Ramgarh is uncommonly clear. The Upper Deck is where Amaraya’s most memorable meals happen — sunrise breakfasts, sunset cocktails, starlit dinners, and celebrations that the Himalayan horizon quietly makes unforgettable. For outdoor dining in Uttarakhand at its most elevated, there is nowhere quite like this.
