An urban bistro, three floors up

Peperomia sits on the third floor of the ATE Windsor Complex on Mukhani Road. We wanted a place in Haldwani where you could sit for a long time: a slow lunch with the hills in view, coffee with a friend, or a full evening on the rooftop with music and dinner.

The kitchen cooks across the map: tandoori starters and rich curries, biryani and fresh breads, burgers, momos and noodles, parathas in the morning. Ingredients are sourced locally. We pour beer and wine, and nothing stronger.

Like the small, glossy-leaved plant it shares a name with, Peperomia is full of green: planters and palms on the rooftop, warm lights at night and an easy, unhurried pace.
