Every dish at Green Valley is cooked fresh by our host family using locally sourced ingredients and recipes passed down through generations.
MUTTON MASALA
₹250Tender, slow-cooked pieces of mutton simmered in a rich, aromatic gravy made with onions, tomatoes, yogurt, and a blend of traditional Indian spices. Garnished with fresh coriander and green chilies, this flavorful dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, naan, tandoori roti, or jeera rice. A hearty and comforting delicacy, loved for its deep, spicy taste and melt-in-the-mouth texture.
TROUT FISH
₹1000Fresh trout sourced from the crystal-clear waters of the Beas River, marinated with traditional Himalayan spices and grilled or pan-fried to golden perfection. Crispy on the outside and tender, flaky on the inside, this local delicacy is served with fresh salad, lemon, and mint chutney. A signature dish of Himachal Pradesh, offering a light, flavorful taste that seafood lovers shouldn't miss.
Sidu Momo Chowmin
₹100Our signature Himachali steamed bread made from wheat flour, slow-fermented overnight and traditionally served with desi ghee, dal, or spicy green chutney. A hearty mountain meal on its own.
Dinning Table
₹800A melt-in-your-mouth sweet deep-fried treat made on festive days. Crisp golden outside, soft and fluffy inside — pairs beautifully with a glass of warm milk or evening chai.
