About Restaurant
A Dining Space Rooted in the Jungle
The Restaurant at Vanasthali Jungle Resort sits within one of Uttarakhand's most evocative wildlife destinations — Dhela, Ramnagar, on the southern edge of Jim Corbett National Park. Rather than competing with the landscape, the restaurant embraces it: the design draws on natural materials, earthy tones, and an open, airy character that brings the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest directly into the dining experience. Whether guests are arriving after an early-morning safari or winding down after a day of nature walks, the space offers a grounded, unhurried atmosphere that is distinctly different from a conventional hotel restaurant.
The setting makes it a natural choice for private dining occasions, intimate celebrations, and resort-hosted events where the jungle backdrop is as much a draw as the food itself. Its position within the Vanasthali Jungle Resort means it serves both in-house guests and visitors who have come specifically for the experience of dining in the Corbett buffer zone — a detail that gives any gathering here a sense of occasion that is hard to replicate in an urban venue.
Events & Private Occasions
The Restaurant lends itself to a range of curated gatherings: family milestone celebrations, small wedding meals or post-ceremony dinners, corporate team retreats, and wildlife-themed hospitality events. The jungle setting is a particular asset for corporate groups seeking an offsite experience that moves beyond a standard conference room — a meal here can serve as the centrepiece of a broader retreat at Vanasthali. For destination weddings, the restaurant can form part of a wider multi-venue event spread across the resort's outdoor and indoor spaces.
Menus typically centre on regional and Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients suited to the resort's forest surroundings. Groups visiting for events benefit from the resort's dedicated hospitality approach, where food and beverage arrangements are coordinated alongside accommodation and activity planning. Prospective bookers are encouraged to reach out to the Vanasthali events team directly to discuss menus, minimum guest counts, and any specific dietary or cultural requirements.
Location and Access
Dhela is a village in the Ramnagar range of Jim Corbett National Park, placing Vanasthali Jungle Resort — and its restaurant — inside a forest buffer zone that very few dining venues in India can claim. Ramnagar Railway Station is the nearest railhead, and the city of Ramnagar itself serves as the main gateway town for most visitors travelling to this part of Corbett. The resort is accessible by road from Ramnagar, and guests travelling from Delhi typically reach Ramnagar by overnight train or by road via the Moradabad–Kashipur route. The remoteness is not a drawback for event bookers — it is precisely the point. Groups arrive and stay together, creating an immersive shared experience that begins the moment they enter the forest, and the restaurant becomes the natural gathering place at the heart of it all.
