Review Hills-e-ishq - Mussoorie

One must try their Garhwali Thali. The owner is welcoming, very friendly, and can customize food as per your dietary needs. We stayed at Bataghat and the restaurant is about 15 minutes walk. So after a heavy lunch (we overate as the food was delicious), all we needed was a short walk, and nothing could beat the walk in that picturesque, calm landscape on a sunny afternoon in December. The view overlooking the hills/mountains is equally mesmerizing. Many celebrities seemed to have visited the restaurant. I would highly recommend it to everyone wanting to try local authentic food in a quiet environment away from the chaos of a city.

A great place to try local authentic cuisine. The view here is gorgeous and the owners and staff are very attentive and friendly. The food came out amazing. The Stinging Nettle Kebabs are a must try (be cautious about the sauce they're served with - extremely spicy!) Visit the Jabarkhet nature reserve for a walk and then come on down to this beautifully set place.

We ate the Garhwali thali (nettle saag, soup, mixed dal, potato sabzi, raita, bhang ki chutney, red rice and rotis). Really filling, reallllly tasty! Ashu (the proprietor) is extremely warm and took the time to introduce us to the local ingredients. Don't miss the nettle tikki! (be prepared for a very long walk from the char dukaan side of Landour, or take a cab). Also the view from the cafe is outstanding.

If you are looking to taste authentic Garhwali food then this is your place to be. Although the restaurant offers a broader menu of typical Indian food, however i would highly recommend the garhwali thali. It contains 8 items; Phanu (soup), mixed dal, kandali (stinging nettles vegetable), aloo thichwani (mashed potatoes curry vegetable), pumpkin/cucumber raita, red rice, mandwe ki roti, bhang ki chutney, jhanhore ki kheer. We also tried rhododendron root fresh soda, on the recommendation of the chef. It was too sweet for me. However the rhododendron root flavour was exciting. I would recommend making it less sweet. And finally, the ambience is spectacular. It's right on top of an uphill road. The seat next to the window is absolutely spectacular. I would highly recommend a lunch at Hills-e-ishq.

Located very close to Jabarkhet natural reserve, this cafe is a natural part of the tour to the reserve. Serving sumptuous Garhwali food, it's a great and very healthy change from the sugar rush Landour bakeries provide. Try the Thali because it brings the best of everything. The owner takes personal interest in your experience and you can also pick up local spices to take home. Sit by the window for the view and keep a stick handy to deter the monkeys lest they share your lunch.

This place has authentic delicious pahadi food , i was thinking from a long time to taste bichhu ghas dish(nettle leaf) , here i got oppotunity to taste soup of it, It was delicious , veg kabab was also good.

Delicious food in a terrific ambience ☺️ I had a super delicious "Kolath dal" (horse gram) Paratha 👍👍 For dinner I had boiled potatoes fried in Jakhiya seeds, which tasted amazing!

Authentic garhwali food, far away from crowd in the ambience , the service,the food , everything is good . Not to mention some historical pics of mussoorie inside. Loved it.

Visited this place before our jabarkhet trek. We wanted to have the maggi and The server recommend local dishes - roti roll and nutty kebab and red flower drink. All 3 was superb way beyond our expectations. Highly recommend

The food is good and the atmosphere is fantastic...service is fast and they serve you with all the generosity and love.

I would say this is must visit place for garhwali thali and stay in homestay atleast 2 days. AshuJi thank u for everything.

We were looking for authentic garhwali cuisine in mussoorie for dinner. While the operation time mentions closing at 6 pm, we called Anju and she was more than happy to accommodate us at an odd hour. The food was excellent and the passion she and her team demonstrated for gharwali cuisine reflected in the taste of fare served. Least to say it was a 5 star experience in Gharwali cuisine. The Swale (gharwali poori) is to die for. PS: We had 60+ parents and a 2 year old accompanying us and the team at hills-e-ishq left no stone unturned to make us feel comfortable - they setup an awesome in-house fireplace.

Absolutely loved the food here. We had the Garhwali Thali - good, clean, tasty and satisfying home food. And the Stinging Nettle Tikka - served hot and is delicious. The staff is nice, and the owner was very sweet and explained the dishes to us. Overall a very good experience - definitely recommend going here.

Absolutely amazing place for local garwali cuisine, the most unique receipes Do not miss the bicchu buti kababs , they are just amazing. The host Ashu Jain is a very interesting and enthusiastic person to meet , adds to the whole experience of a meal at the cafe.

Delicious Authentic Food, with Beautiful View as well!! You will get proper Garhwali Thali here..

Went to this place after seeing the google reviews. They serve authentic garhwal food (veg). The taste and portions were all good. Few items were very good while few others I liked lesser because of the palette preferences, not because anything wrong with their taste. But must try the local food here for a different experience

Very nice cafe Good location Thali food is awesome do give it a try.
