Just on a very beautiful road to Nahan a small dhaba with good organic food. Actually there are no eating joints on this stretch so when you come across this small dhaba managed by local family of nearby village Mashobra you can't skip this without eating their local saag with spicy chutney and Makki roti and tea cooked on a chullah...and overall it's pocketfriendly also.
