crepe pancakes

this place had become a go to place during our stay. this place only serves veg food but don’t let that bother you as their veg food is really good. theirburritois a must try. the place is nice and cozy and forces you to spend more and more time there. prices are minimal. their staff is friendly and they undercharged us (you heard it right) and even after bringing it to their notice, they said ‘ it’s ok sir no problem’. wonderful place, must visit if you are in mc leodganj.

i ordered aburritobowl and some teas, the food was absolutely delicious. the ambiance was great, my friends and i chose a cozy spot in the corner. crepe pancakes have a huge collection of buddhism books.

the food is so delicious. every item on the menu is prepared with love. went there everyday for breakfast or lunch during my stay, and every time it was worth the money. the café is cozy and family run. i tried the sushi,burritobowl, tortilla, salads, crepes, carrot cake, fruit salad : all of the dishes were delicious. the sushi is made with brown rice and is so reasonably priced. the cinnamon oats pancake with apple cheese sauce is just heavenly. theburritobowl had the rice done right! and the carrot cake was so yummy.
they also have a nice selection of herbal teas. i tried the ginger lemon honey and tibetan herbal tea and both were very relaxing. also, a unique item is the kombucha tea which is fermented (it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but go ahead and try).

in short, best place to eat. in love with this place.

i walked by crepe pancake hut probably 70 to 80 times before stopping in. neither crepes nor pancakes, particularly vegetarian ones, sounded good prior, but i wanted to give them a try before leaving. i am sorry i waited so long!

like most restaurants in mcleod ganj, especially the ones with eastern-style (sit on the floor) seating, this place was filled to the brim with young, bohemian, hippie-wannabes. if you have traveled in india recently, you know the type ... long, filthy, unwashed dreadlocks, pajamas, nose stuck in their phone or computer and unable to carry on a conversation with anybody over 20 even if their life depended on it.

anyway, enough of my judgmental attitude (i really am working on it and learned a bit more through buddhist philosophy classes, but it is obviously a work in progress) and on to the food. 

i ordered a veggieburritowith avocado pico di gallo (90 rupees - $1.45) and a pot of lemon ginger honey (50 rupees). theburritowas crispy and tasty, filled with sauteed bell peppers (capsium) and onions, kidney beans, and accompanied by half an avocado peel filled with a combination of mashed avocado, diced tomato and onion, and a bit of sour cream (or yogurt, i could not tell which).

the pot of ginger lemon honey was delicious and one of the cheapest in town at 50 rupees, filling my cup four times at 12.5 rupees (20 cents) a pop. in all, it was a light, healthy, yet filling lunch at an extremely reasonable price.

combatcritic gives crepe pancake hut 9 bombs out of 10 ... bombs are great!

a cozy lil cafe with a homely feel. we came here twice in 2 days! amazing portions and quality of food. everything is customized to your taste. great desserts. waffles and crepes are to die for. theburritobowl and sushi is the best i have ever had. go for it
