A culinary experience here is no less than an indulgence in some of the best delicacies, with four in-house restaurants and bars each with a varied menu and flavours. The meals are curated with organic, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, upholding the resort’s ethos of Eat Well. While many might opt for their go-to items, do not miss out on an interactive Teppanyaki experience at Toya, a restaurant serving progressive Asian cuisine. At Akasa, the region’s essence is captured on a plate with a Garhwaali Thali, paired with an interactive experience for the guests courtesy of its open kitchen concept. The plate is an ode to the surrounding culture, best experienced within the bounds of the foothills for an authentic flair.

Pebbles, the third on the list, is a grill and barbeque restaurant by the infinity pool featuring a list of delectable bites and signature cocktails, meant to be enjoyed at a swim-up bar. Lastly, Haven Lounge in the hotel’s lobby lets you savour breathtaking views with a choice of fine malts and light bites, but its hot chocolate and Eclair experience is a true standout. With Westin Saga at Sky Deck, a flavourful Garhwali tea awaits while you peer high above the cityscapes. Leave some space for BBQ delights, available at both the sky deck and poolside. The sizzle of barbeque and the al-fresco ambience sets the scene, while the delectable bites transform it into a memory for a lifetime. Else, a dining experience under the stars captures the true essence of luxury rooted in nature, as you relish gourmet delights in the faint glow of twinkling beams.
