About Cafe & Restaurant Dining
What Drives Us
I love making people feel at home with food that's both comforting and a little bit special. At Caara, that warmth extends to every plate we serve. We treat everyone like they're at our own table - casual, welcoming, never stuffy.
Our Food Roots
Everything starts with the best ingredients. Most of our veggies and herbs come straight from our farm. We stay away from chemicals and refined sugar, so the food feels good and tastes even better. Think farm-to-table cafe experience, but with zero fuss.
Sourcing Stories
- We grow our own basil and asparagus - you’ll taste the difference in our fresh basil pesto pasta.
- When we can’t grow it, we find local gems: Chamba asparagus, Kumaoni grapes, and fantastic dairy for our artisanal burrata dishes.
- Some things are best imported, like our pizza flour from Switzerland or San Marzano tomatoes for that tangy kick.
What’s Cooking
Our menu is mostly seasonal European cuisine. A few crowd favorites:
- Smashed Chilli & Avocado Toast for breakfast
- Green Shakshuka and that fluffy omelette
- Quinoa salads, house-made buckwheat sandwiches
- Fettuccine with wild mushroom & truffle, real-deal Napoletana pizzas
- Hazelnut chocolate tart and the carrot cake people keep coming back for
The Scene
Each cafe is light-filled, comfy, and tucked inside pretty lifestyle stores. Perfect for a chill all-day brunch spot or a quick solo coffee. Sometimes it gets packed, but that's part of the vibe.

My Story
Hosting is in my bones, not just a job. I mix my personal quirks into every event, from layering tables with crockery I've hoarded from trips to running CAARA with my crew. My husband teases me about my mad collecting habit! Winning Best Luxury Caterer for North India was wild, but honestly, it’s our team and the folks who trust us that make it all happen. We’re all about real, beautiful experiences.
