Restaurants in Jim Corbett - this getaway from Delhi is just a 6-hour drive, packs in adventure, and is very family-friendly. Jim Corbett National Park is located close to Ramnagar and makes for a very convenient weekend road trip!

The National park is of course known for its wildlife safaris and adventurous tours. One end of Jim Corbett, Dhikuli is full of many resorts and wee bit of restaurants. There are many resorts deep inside the jungle, and the best bit is that most of the area is driveable. You can drive through the shallow end of Kosi river and into the winding hilly roads. If you are lucky, you will also spot a herd of deers or elephants.

Restaurants in Jim Corbett

You will find some exquisite cafes and restaurants, buzzing with families. Order something non-fussy, and don't over complicate. There are some impeccable grills located inside Taj Corbett Resort, but the dining is reserved for in-house residents only. The main Dhikuli road is sprawling with many cafes and restaurants all within walking distance from one another.

Day 1

The nest

Built almost like a greenhouse, The Nest is beautiful. The greenery surrounding it makes it an ideal picture spot and they also offer packages for wedding photography. The natural light is stunning and the interiors are lined with posters of old films. Also, this place is huge!! Order a classic chicken curry and roti and you are good!

Day 2

Kosi deck

Kosi Deck - this absolutely beautiful river side restaurant is a must visit. Also one of the only places to serve alcohol, the Kosi deck has fabulous Kumaon food and the view is even better. Stop by and don't forget to take a walk on the river side and spot some grazing horses. The best tables are by the edge of the deck of course!

Diner's villa

The cabanas in the outdoor area are absolutely gorgeous, especially at night. The interiors are very typically 'tiger' inspired with pictures and skin. Their playlist is pretty kickass. We stopped by for some breakfast - the tandoori paranthas and masala omelette were both amazing!
