Dining at Dwarika's Sanctuary

The Table as Sanctuary

At Dwarika’s Sanctuary, each meal begins long before it reaches the plate. On our own farms across Nepal, fields are tilled by hand, herbs gathered at dawn, and grains ground in small stone mills — simple rituals that root every flavour in care. Guided by Himalayan wisdom and the rhythm of the land, our kitchen transforms these harvests into nourishment for both body and mind.

Our Dining Venues

  • Nature's Flavours restaurant at Dwarika's Sanctuary

    Nature's Flavours

    • Hours: Breakfast & Dinner 6:30 AM – 10:30 AM | 6:00 PM - 10:30 PM

    Set beside terraced fields and forest edge, Nature's Flavours is the heart of the Sanctuary's kitchen. Menus draw from Nepal's six regional farms and the changing seasons, blending Himalayan ingredients with Ayurvedic balance. Every dish respects the integrity of its source — herbs gathered at dawn, grains dried in mountain air, flavours left unhurried. To dine here is to taste the landscape itself, alive in every bite.

  • Mako's Zen restaurant at Dwarika's Sanctuary

    Mako's Zen

    • Hours: Dinner 6 PM - 10:30 PM

    A chef-led sequence of courses built entirely on what the farm and Himalayan rivers offer. In the spirit of shizen ryōri, the cuisine is the landscape: local, seasonal, and shaped by the chef's hand. Japanese technique, Himalayan soul. No choice. Only the river's catch, the season's yield, and the meal.

  • Ananta Poolside Restaurant at Dwarika's Sanctuary

    Ananta Poolside Restaurant

    • Hours: Lunch 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

    Poised beside the infinity pool, Ananta looks outward to the Himalayan horizon. Its glass walls open to clouds and light, creating a dining experience that feels both elemental and effortless. Fresh juices, light lunches pair clean flavours with the mountain's quiet grandeur — nourishment best taken with an open view and unhurried breath.

  • Fusion Bar 2.0

    Fusion Bar 2.0

    • Hours: 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM

    As dusk gathers over Dhulikhel, the Fusion bar glows with the comfort of hearth and timber. Herbal teas, crafted mocktails, and Nepali-inspired infusions accompany small plates drawn from our gardens. On cooler nights, guests gather by the fire — conversation flowing as easily as the mountain air outside.
