If Dehradun cafés had moods, Gulsarai Kashmiri Café & Studio would be the calm, soulful one. Tucked away near Rajpur Road (Dhakpatti), this place feels like a soft, slow escape — warm décor, Kashmiri vibes, gentle music, and a whole lot of heart.
The space is cozy, aesthetic, and peaceful — perfect for long chats, solo coffee dates, or lazy weekend lunches. It’s not loud, it’s not rushed — it’s the kind of place where time naturally slows down.
Gulsarai is known for its Kashmiri-inspired menu and comforting flavours:
🍲 Rogan Josh & Chicken Yakhni (must-try if you love rich, aromatic food)
☕ Kashmiri Qahwah and ginger tea for chilly Doon days
🥪 Light café bites like rolls, fries and sandwiches for easy meals
Average cost: ₹200–₹400 per person — affordable, cozy, and worth it.
The “Studio” part is real — you’ll also find handmade art, candles, décor items and local crafts you can browse and shop while sipping your coffee. It feels less like a café and more like a creative little space.
If you’re craving something different from the usual café scene — something calmer, warmer, and more soulful — Gulsarai is your spot. It’s not just a place to eat, it’s a place to slow down. And sometimes, that’s exactly what Doon needs.
