A cozy rooftop bar & lounge with an experimental food menu and spectacular views of the Dhauladhar ranges. Located within the premises of Blossoms Village Resort, the lounge is open for all travelers and locals looking for a memorable dining experience.

The view of this Restaurant is beautiful. The entire Dhauladhar Range is visible sitting at the restaurant. The staff is very courteous and polite. The food however is very disappointing. Not even one dish tasted good. Malai Chicken Tikka was the only dish which was nice. Its a place worth visiting for the view for sure but not for food.

Stumbled across this place by accident although you can't miss it as it is in the main square. There is a great choice of food. We chose typical things like noodles, fried rice, veg Manchurian, momos which were all great. Their thalis seemed good too but we didn't try them so not able to comment. Overall, the place is a good place to relax and eat, the ambience is good and its not congested as many other restaurants nearby.

Dropped in for a cup of tea and a late breakfast. The place doesnât look like much from the street, but there is a small, comfortable cafe inside, and a quiet patio with plants, wild birds and a great mountain view over the rooftops. The menu offers an excellent variety of teas and has a fairly broad choice of cuisine, all vegetarian, including some Tibetan choices. There is also a baked goods counter loaded with some very tempting home style baking. I opted for a Chaay Masala and the Farmerâs Breakfast, and I certainly was not disappointed. Both served hot, with fresh ingredients. About INR 200 for breakfast including tea, tax and tip.

We had pizza here last year on a previous visit and I don't recall being overly impressed but this time we tried their pasta dishes and they were much better.We had the pasta puttanesca which I really enjoyed - not TOO big a portion but plenty of flavour and well prepared. We also had the garlic bread with cheese which was more or less cheese on toast (I really didn't spot the garlic) but it was nice. Add two sweet lime sodas and the bill came to 550 rupees for two - very reasonable. Service was well paced. Even though it's only a small place, they seemed to turn the tables over quite effectively so that people were not turned away.

We have been in Mcleodganj for the last couple of days and have ended up visiting this little surprise package quite a few times.. First of all the food : They mainly serve Tibetan food though the menu options per second wouldn't be very high. The dishes are freshly cooked and it reflects in the taste as well. The dough for noodles and dumplings is also prepared in house which sort of adds to the freshness of the meal. They also use wheat to prepare the dough which is also very interesting. If nothing else, it makes the dish healthier. They mainly operate for a few hours during the day and the joint is frequented by both locals and foreigners. Value for money is good too, a meal for two would cost around 300. Must try would be veg dimsums, thukpa and even the noodles..

We went over there to have lunch with friends. The service is slow, the waiter isn't interested in taking orders at all. Because of the good reviews of Lonely Planet we decided to give a chance to the place but it wasn't worth it. Two of my friends got sick after the lunch. My review for the place would be below average.

Common Ground Cafe is a social enterprise that serves not only a fusion of authentic Tibetan and Chinese cuisine, but also as a gathering point and events venue for the Dharamsala community. We hope to serve you soon!

The cuisine is authentically local, food portions are good & prices reasonable. We especially loved the toffee bar & the Tibetan teas. The owner also helped us to procure the Tibetan tea bags from the local market.The vibe, the super warm hosts, the food, the view- they all beckoned us for a second visit during our stay & we really hope to come back again soon!
