Barmani Restaurant & Hotel Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

Barmani Restaurant & Hotel is a roadside restaurant with rooms, about 8 km from Mini Goa on the way between Pathankot and the lake. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and most people stop here for a proper Punjabi meal before or after a day at the water.

The menu is the kind of food Punjab is known for: dal, paneer and seasonal sabzi with tandoori roti, parathas for breakfast, and a thali when you want a bit of everything. It is a sit-down place rather than a snack stall, which matters on a long day out with family.

Because it also has rooms, it is a practical base if you want to reach Mini Goa early in the morning or stay back for the sunset without driving to Pathankot city in the dark. The setting along the road is green, with views of the Shivalik foothills.

A good way to plan the day: breakfast here, boating and activities at Mini Goa in the morning when it is cooler, then back for lunch — or the other way round, with dinner here on the way home.
