The in-house restaurant serves local, regional, Chinese, and Continental cuisine using locally sourced organic ingredients. Evening entertainment includes nightly Tharu and Kumal cultural dance performances by the riverside, plus live music and themed dinner nights. Guests can also enjoy a bush dinner on the riverbank or a cooking class to learn local recipes.
