Aam's Courtyard - Dharan

Best cafe visited so far combining Darjeeling and Kalimpong. Beautiful and serene views, clean and aesthetic property and the food is chef’s kiss. Must visit!

Hidden gem of a restaurant with great views across to Kanchenjungha and a relaxed ambience the owner made us feel very welcome! Thei options on the menu (penne, ravioli, lasagne and pizza) were authentic delicious. Well worth a visit after seeing the Pine View nursery nearby. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Truly world class cuisine, and an unmatched, magical atmosphere! My husband, 10 year old daughter, and I visited Aam 's Courtyard this afternoon with some old friends from Kalimpong. Each of us was delighted by the experience! The menu offers a wide variety of options for every palate type. Our friends ordered the pulao and the best fish dish off the North Indian menu, while my husband ordered daal makhani. On the other hand, I ordered the Lemon Glaze Fish from the European menu and my daughter ordered the mac cheese with grilled chicken, followed by the warm brownie and ice cream dessert. We were also offered fish fingers and fry chips as appetizers. Aam 's Courtyard must have some excellent chef(s on staff, because all of these varied types of foods were cooked to perfection! The presentation was spectacular my Lemon Glaze Fish was practically art! Everything looked both beautiful and appetizing but more importantly, everything was utterly delicious! All three locals found the North Indian cuisine to be absolutely mouth watering! My daughter is a picky eater, but she absolutely loved the mac cheese and grilled chicken, the hot chocolate, and the dessert! That 's high praise, as we have trouble finding food she likes every time we visit India, but this was a 100% win! I cannot speak highly enough about the Lemon Glaze Fish with grilled potatoes, vegetables, and what I believe was a beetroot reduction! A feast for the eyes and prepared exquisitely. The hearty serving of fish filet was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and seasoned beautifully! The vegetables were cooked perfectly with just the right hint of fresh crunch, and the potatoes were melt in your mouth tender. The reduction was a lovely, mildly sweet addition to each bite. Truly delicious, and quite a hearty portion! As if the divine food wasn 't enough, the ambience was truly magical. I highly recommend that anyone who visits (and everyone should! try to time their meal to occur at twilight to make the most of the incredible scenery. Whether sitting indoors or outdoors, there is no bad spot as even the indoor seating features expansive windows throughout. The sun setting over the mountains felt unreal coupled with the soft lighting indoors, lush greenery and beautiful flowers, and fairy lights decorating the space, the effect transports you to a different world. The decor was lovely and very calming. All facilities were modern, chicly designed, clean, and convenient. I strongly encourage anyone who has the chance to visit this wonderful restaurant. You will not be disappointed, I can guarantee! As for us, we will visit again at every possible opportunity!
