FOOD AT KINGS LODGE

Kings Lodge offers a range of both local & global cuisines. We also give our guests a true sense of enjoying the tribal life by offering Baiga Thali, a cuisine, which is a culinary heirloom of a tribe inhabiting the nearby villages. They are primarily dependent on the forest products, so is their food which primarily consist of coarse grains like Kodo & Kutki Millet. The lodge also grows a lot of its own produce including herbs like wild mint, basil, and dill along with vegetables including tomatoes, pumpkins, carrots, radish, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant , and the latest addition being micro-greens for salads. Breakfast dishes of fresh papaya and fruit from the garden, to roasted and stuffed green heirloom tomatoes, pumpkin soup, or desserts using the vegetables and fruits grown in the garden have become a way of life in the Pugdundee kitchens.
