Nestled on Rajpur Road, Ellora’s – also known locally as Ellora’s Melting Moments – has been a gastronomic icon in Dehradun since 1953. Founded by ex-army man Shri Krishan Lal Gulati, the bakery began as a modest outlet opposite St. Joseph’s Academy has grown into the Doon Valley’s largest bakery, with pan‑India reach and a legacy of over 500 baked goodies.
The iconic milk rusks—crunchy, buttery, and perfect with chai—are often hailed as "the best in India. From plum and fruit cakes during festive seasons to choco‑truffles, black forests, carrot, red‑velvet, and vegan options, their range is diverse and inclusive. Quick bites like cheese puffs, veggie and chicken sandwiches, and patties add a savoury balance to the sweet lineup. The chewy caramel toffees are a local legend. Children and adults alike have grown up trying (and failing!) to finish them quickly — their slow-melt texture is part of the charm.
The flagship store on Rajpur Road remains the busiest and most iconic. It’s where tourists flock for souvenirs and locals return for their regular fix.
If you're visiting Dehradun, Ellora’s is a must-stop destination. Whether you’re grabbing a few rusks for the journey home or indulging in their fresh pastries on the spot, you’ll leave with something more than just a treat — you'll take away a piece of Doon’s soul.
