Naar, a newly opened restaurant in Darwa, Himachal Pradesh, is revolutionizing Himalayan cuisine under the guidance of chef Prateek Sadhu. The 14-course menu highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from local forests, featuring dishes like sunderkala millet noodles and trout ceviche. Since its launch in late 2023, Naar has gained acclaim, being featured in notable travel publications. Chef Sadhu aims to present these regional cuisines in a contemporary context, blending traditional techniques with modern presentation to tell the stories of Himalayan culinary heritage.
My job is to tell those stories... I don’t want to put rustic food on the plate. I want to play around with the nuances, and make it cool and relevant to the times we live in.
Naar showcases the seasonal bounty of the mountains and the interwoven culinary cultures that exist there, through quirky small plates of prickly pear sorbets, trout ceviche, cactus tart, and dehydrated winter carrots.
