Whether you’re visiting for a quick bite, a long leisurely dinner, or a celebration with family and friends, these must-try signature dishes at Brook & Pines are sure to steal the spotlight.

1. The Brook & Pines Wood-Fired Pizza

Nothing beats the satisfying crackle of a thin, crispy pizza crust, fresh out of our wood-fired oven. Our pizzas are a crowd favorite, made with hand-stretched dough, homemade sauce, and a generous topping of fresh ingredients.

Top Picks:

  • The Forest Special: A vegetarian delight with wild mushrooms, roasted bell peppers, olives, and mozzarella. 
  • Himalayan Chicken Pizza: Tandoori-marinated chicken, onions, and green chillies for a spicy local twist.

Each pizza is baked to perfection and pairs brilliantly with our house brews—especially a crisp lager or amber ale.

2. Beer-Battered Fish & Chips

This British pub classic gets a Brook & Pines makeover. Fresh fish is coated in our special beer batter—light, crisp, and golden brown—and served with a side of thick-cut fries and tangy tartar sauce. The subtle notes of our craft beer in the batter bring out a flavor that’s rich, satisfying, and unforgettable.

Perfect with: Our in-house wheat beer or citrusy IPA.

3. Signature Chicken Tikka Platter

You can’t visit Kasauli without indulging in some North Indian spice—and our Chicken Tikka is the real deal. Marinated overnight in a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, then grilled to juicy perfection, this dish is served sizzling hot on a platter with mint chutney and pickled onions.

It’s bold, smoky, and bursting with flavor—ideal for sharing over drinks with friends.

4. Brook’s Special Momos (Steamed & Fried)

Hailing from the Himalayan region, momos are a staple in any mountain-town menu—but at Brook & Pines, we’ve elevated them to a whole new level. Choose from steamed or fried versions, stuffed with your choice of chicken, pork, or veggies, and served with our spicy house-made chilli dip.

They’re bite-sized, addictive, and the perfect starter for your meal—or snack to go with a cold beer.

5. Butter Chicken & Naan Combo

A timeless classic, our Butter Chicken is rich, creamy, and full of bold, comforting flavors. Served with warm, fluffy naan or jeera rice, it’s one of our best-selling dishes for good reason.

Our version stays true to its North Indian roots, with a deep, velvety gravy and perfectly cooked chunks of chicken that melt in your mouth.

Pair with: A cold pilsner or a mild ale to balance the spice and creaminess.

6. Crispy Pine Needle Tempura

A tribute to the pine-filled landscapes of Kasauli, this unique appetizer features tender local pine needles coated in a delicate tempura batter and fried till crispy. Served with a tangy dipping sauce, this dish is a conversation starter—and a must-try for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

Light, crispy, and beautifully aromatic, it’s a nod to the mountains that surround us.

7. Chef’s Signature Dessert: Warm Chocolate Beer Cake

No meal is complete without a sweet finish, and our chef’s Warm Chocolate Beer Cake is a decadent masterpiece. Made using a hint of dark craft beer in the batter, this dessert is rich and moist with deep chocolatey notes. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel, it’s pure indulgence on a plate.

It’s a creative and delicious way to showcase how beer can be more than just a drink—it can be part of the dish.
