Norling Restaurant & Cafe

Dharamsala


The Norbulinka's magical Hummingbird Cafe has a certain Tibetan elegance and outdoor tables that spill into the idyllic, tree-shaded rock garden.

The menu offers selected Continental, Indian and Tibetan choices including delicious shabri (veggie balls in ginger sauce), but if you're in a hurry at lunchtime, you might prefer the buffet (₹525, noon to 2.30pm except Sundays) which includes five mains, rice, breads, cake, fresh fruit and coffee/tea to finish.
