Autumn in Kasauli isn’t just about the golden skies and crisp air—it’s also a season of festivities and celebration. With Navratri, Dussehra, and the anticipation of Diwali, the town is filled with devotion, color, and joy. And when it comes to blending festive vibes with soulful dining, Brook & Pines Café stands out as the go-to destination.
If you’re in Kasauli this October, here’s why celebrating Navratri and Dussehra at Brook & Pines makes the season even more special.
The Festive Spirit in the Hills
Kasauli may be a quiet hill station most of the year, but during the festive season, its charm multiplies. Temples are decorated with lights and flowers, the streets come alive with local fairs, and families gather to celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
Nestled amidst this festive aura, Brook & Pines Café offers a cozy yet vibrant setting where travelers and locals alike can dine, celebrate, and soak in the joyous atmosphere.
Navratri Special Menus: Flavors of Devotion
For many, Navratri is a time of fasting, reflection, and devotion. But it’s also a time to celebrate wholesome, satvik food made with pure ingredients. Brook & Pines crafts special Navratri delights that honor these traditions while adding a modern twist:
- Sabudana Khichdi & Tikkis – Light, nutritious, and perfect for fasting days.
- Kuttu ke Pakode & Pooris – Crispy bites that are both festive and filling.
- Aloo ki Subzi with Rock Salt – A comforting classic with a homely flavor.
- Fruit Bowls & Smoothies – Refreshing, seasonal, and energizing.
For those observing fasts, these dishes provide a divine dining experience. And for others, they’re a chance to taste the unique seasonal flavors that Navratri brings.
Dussehra Feasts: Celebrating Togetherness
As Navratri culminates into Dussehra, the energy in the air is electrifying. Families gather to watch Ramlila performances or the burning of Ravana effigies, marking the victory of good over evil. After these celebrations, a hearty meal becomes the highlight of the day—and Brook & Pines serves up just that.
The café curates special platters during Dussehra that bring people together:
- Tandoori Platters with smoky kebabs and grilled veggies.
- Festive Thalis featuring local Himachali delicacies.
- Signature Desserts like saffron kheer, gulab jamun, and festive puddings.
Dining here feels less like a meal and more like a celebration of community and tradition, where every dish tells a story.

Brook & Pines doesn’t just serve festive food—it creates a festive vibe. During Navratri and Dussehra, the café rooftop is decorated with string lights, marigold flowers, and subtle festive touches.
