Pilibhit House-IHCL SeleQtions Elevates Mindful Dining as The Terrace Marks a Year

Haridwar, Uttarakhand: 28 October, 2025: Rooted in the sattvik philosophy of mindful living and soulful nourishment, Pilibhit House, Haridwar – IHCL SeleQtions continues to redefine conscious luxury. Nestled on the banks of the sacred Ganges, this century-old aristocratic mansion blends spirituality with sophistication, while offering experiences inspired by the Purusharthas. Its rooftop restaurant, The Terrace, marks its first anniversary with a reimagined global vegetarian menu that blends creativity with vibrant flavours.

To celebrate this milestone, The Terrace introduces a menu that balances Mediterranean comfort classics with lighter Pan-Asian dishes. Guests can savour the creamy richness of the Black Rice Risotto, the aromatic layers of a Vietnamese Curry, and the rustic delight of hand crafted Pizzas topped with garden vegetables. New offerings like delicate dim sums and the zesty sour pepper soup infused with timru and Himalayan greens add freshness and depth, while Buddha Bowls and Ramen offer nourishing global appeal.

Spearheaded by Chef Rohit Dubey and Chef Udai Chandra Pandit, the culinary program champions innovation and ingredient integrity. Drawing on Himalayan treasures such as jakhiya seeds and bhangjeera oil, his kitchen continues to elevate vegetarian gastronomy in Haridwar “We’ve listened closely to our guests,” shares Chef Udai Chandra Pandit, Sous Chef, Pilibhit House. “They seek global flair rooted in authenticity. Our challenge and delight lie in creating warmth, indulgence, and freshness while staying true to our wellness philosophy. Some of our most rewarding moments come when guests describe The Terrace as ‘unexpected yet familiar’, an experience that surprises with its creativity yet feels comfortingly at home. Using regional produce and modern techniques, we show that mindful food across cuisines can be exciting, flavourful, and nourishing.”

In Uttarakhand’s evolving culinary landscape, The Terrace stands out as a space of discovery.

A favourite among travellers and locals alike, its tranquil ambiance, panoramic views, and inventive cuisine make it a preferred spot for intimate celebrations.
