Places

  1. 1.Kalsang, Rajpur Road

    22 people recommend, 5 warn against it

    This Rajpur Road pin represents Kalsang recommendations across Dehradun's outlets, not a branch-only tally. Momos and Tibetan food recur in the praise, with devil momos mentioned repeatedly across the city. Pizza opinions are split. Several people find the brand overrated or advise skipping it; one specifically warns against the Clock Tower outlet, although another diner recommends that outlet. These experiences should not be read as interchangeable branch reviews.

  2. 2.Lhasa Tibet Kitchen, Rajpur Road

    20 people recommend

    Lhasa Tibet Kitchen receives repeated recommendations for momos, including people who name it among their regular favourites. A detailed recommendation specifically names its Rajpur Road kothay and steamed momos. One diner particularly praises the non-vegetarian versions, while another finds the momos decent rather than exceptional.

  3. 3.Black Pepper, Astley Hall

    19 people recommend

    Butter chicken is the clearest recurring reason to choose Black Pepper in Astley Hall. Several diners also describe it as a long-standing favourite, recalling family dinners and live music in earlier years rather than promising music now. One diner says the portions help justify the higher cost. Another commenter praises the dal makhani, while a separate recommendation cautions that the setting is not especially fancy.

  4. 4.Angeethi By Gaurav, Nehru Colony

    13 people recommend

    Angeethi by Gaurav receives repeated city-wide recommendations for Afghani momos, represented here by the frequently named Nehru Colony location. Two commenters also recommend kurkure versions there, and one names the tandoori cheese momos among vegetarian favourites. Other mentions name Dalanwala and Mussoorie Road, so the tally is pooled rather than branch-only.

  5. 5.Orchard

    11 people recommend

    Momos are a recurring draw at Orchard, with two people describing it among their dependable favourites. One recommendation singles out cheese kothey momos. People also suggest it when ambience matters, including for dates and lunch. One diner found the food unremarkable and the view only middling, but adds that the visit was years earlier and things may have changed.

    Orchard, 3/B, near MDDA Park, Dhakpatti, Rajpur, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248009, India

  6. 6.Walk in Woods, Sahastradhara Road

    10 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    This Sahastradhara Road pin represents Walk in Woods recommendations pooled across its Dehradun branches. A diner explicitly recommends this branch's butter chicken, and another praises its food and service while finding the ambience ordinary. City-wide mentions also praise dal makhani and chicken curry. A Ballupur diner particularly likes the Afghani chicken, while another finds that branch's food oily and spicy. Two people consider the brand good rather than the city's best, and value opinions differ.

  7. 7.Tandon's, Rajpur

    10 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Tandon's in Rajpur receives repeated recommendations for momos, particularly the non-vegetarian versions. One diner especially likes both the mutton and chicken momos, while another finds the mutton version inconsistent. Two people consider it overhyped, and another prefers a different momo shop after trying it. Recommendations are numerous, but opinions are not unanimous.

    Rajpur Road

  8. 8.Ama Cafe

    8 people recommend

    AMA appears repeatedly in recommendations for places to eat, with one diner praising its pesto pasta and pizza. One pizza comparison places it above Kalsang but below Coco Osteria. Value is less clear-cut: one person says it fits the requested budget but not the desired cuisine, while another thinks a slightly higher spend is worthwhile. City-wide meal recommendations are represented by one Rajpur Road location, not a branch-specific menu endorsement.

  9. 9.Coco Osteria

    8 people recommend

    Pizza drives the recommendations for Coco Osteria, especially its Neapolitan style. One diner ranks it among their best pizza experiences in India. The strongest agreement is about pizza rather than drinks: two people criticise the beverages, including one who also found the food disappointing after friends had praised it. Recommendations for Roman-style pizza are split.

    Ground Floor, Coco Osteria, LP Residency, 32, Kaulagarh Rd, Rajender Nagar, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248001, India

  10. 10.Hungry Eye, Garhi Cantt

    7 people recommend

    Hungry Eye in Garhi Cantt is repeatedly suggested for momos. One recommendation names jhol momos, another favours kothey, and a third singles out the chicken chatpat version. The kothey recommendation includes a qualification: that diner finds steamed momos weaker during busy periods.

  11. 11.Downtown, Garhi Cantt

    7 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Downtown in Garhi Cantt is recommended for momos and noodles, with two people particularly praising the momos' juiciness. One diner also recommends the steamed mutton version, and another values the affordability. The enthusiasm is not unanimous: two people consider it overhyped, and one reports a less satisfying recent experience than in the past.

  13. 13.Karigari

    6 people recommend

    Karigari receives recommendations for family meals and lunch as well as biryani. Two people suggest its biryani when asked for the best in Dehradun, with one specifically naming the mutton version. A separate commenter includes it among butter chicken choices.

  14. 14.Trucker's Halt Cafe, Rajpur Road

    6 people recommend

    Burgers account for the recommendations for Trucker's Halt Cafe on Rajpur Road. One person calls them the best in Dehradun, while another recommends trying this independent option rather than the large burger franchises. A third praises the burgers but reserves the strongest endorsement for Riders Cafe. The evidence supports a burger-focused choice, not a claim about the rest of the menu.

    Rajpur Road

  15. 15.Sonam Kitchen, Rajpur

    5 people recommend

    Sonam Kitchen in Rajpur comes up repeatedly in momo recommendations. One person counts it among their favourites, two others explicitly suggest its Rajpur location, and another describes the momos as juicy and tasty.

    Rajpur Road

  16. 16.Only Veg, Raipur

    5 people recommend

    Only Veg in Raipur is recommended specifically for vegetarian momos. One diner describes them as their favourite vegetarian momos, while another suggests the lauki version. Three other people include the shop in their momo choices or agree with a recommendation. These comments support a vegetarian momo stop rather than a recommendation for an unmentioned wider menu.

  17. 17.Singh Soup Bar

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Singh Soup Bar receives repeated suggestions for momos, with one person also recommending its Chinese food. A detailed recommendation favours its kothey and jhol momos. One first-time diner liked the chicken cheese momos but considered them expensive, while another strongly dislikes the restaurant.

  18. 18.Café de Piccolo

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Café de Piccolo receives recommendations in discussions about meals and pizza, alongside praise for its setting. One person likes its Western-style ambience and cooking, while another singles out the feel of winter evenings. A separate recommendation praises the food and service. Another commenter considers it overrated, so the favourable recommendations are not a unanimous verdict.

    Café De Piccolo, 180, Rajpur Rd, Near Sai Mandir, Kishanpur, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248009, India

  19. 19.Tirupati Balaji, Rajpur Road

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Tirupati Balaji comes up as a vegetarian option on Rajpur Road and as one of Dehradun's long-standing eating places. One person particularly values the thali's affordability, and another agrees with a recommendation naming it among vegetarian restaurants. A diner who visited was disappointed by the taste, so the food does not receive unanimous praise.
