Machan Restaurant
Machan
A second-floor lakeside restaurant opposite the Boat House Club, serving North Indian, Indo-Chinese and Kumaoni dishes.
Machan is in the middle of Mall Road, opposite the Nainital Boat House Club. Its second-floor windows overlook the lake. It opened in 1994 and also has branches in Bhimtal and elsewhere. The menu centres on North Indian, Indo-Chinese and Thai dishes, but it also serves traditional Kumaoni food such as black soybean curry (bhatt ki churkani) and ras-bhaat, and its snacks are often recommended too. About ₹700-750 for two. During peak mealtimes, arrive early to get a window seat.
