About Naar: A Culinary Destination
Naar, which translates to “fire” in Kashmiri, embodies Chef Prateek Sadhu’s passion and mission to spotlight Himalayan cuisine with his signature blend of creativity and respect for tradition. Located in the picturesque village of Darwa, Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, NAAR is not just a restaurant—it is a culinary destination that has redefined Himalayan-forward cuisine. This philosophy embraces the flavours of the world’s greatest mountain range, presenting dishes that span six unique seasons and champion the best ingredients from this extraordinary terrain.
Chef Sadhu’s approach at NAAR is deeply rooted in the everyday food traditions of the Himalayas, but elevated through modern techniques to create a menu that is both inspired and rooted. Each dish at NAAR tells a story of the land and its people, bringing the spirit of the Himalayas alive on the plate.
