Smokehouse Restaurant & Cafe

We had an incredible private BBQ evening at the Smokehouse by BraaiCraft. We were staying at their Native Route cottages, and we requested a private dinner for our stay.

They had set up a cosy bonfire in the garden, and we were treated to some exceptional Asado-style mutton and chicken with chimichurri as starters, followed by a delightful chicken galantine with mushroom sauce as the main course. Every dish was prepared to perfection and tasted outstanding.

We also couldn't resist purchasing one of their portable firepits, which is a fantastic addition to our garden.

It was a lovely and relaxed evening, perfectly complemented by our stay at the cottage. We highly recommend Smokehouse by BraaiCraft for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in the mountains.

I visited this place with my mother and aunt, and we thoroughly enjoyed their pulled mutton burgers, perfectly smoked on their beautiful smoker showcased right in the garden.

The smokehouse is pet-friendly, and while we weren’t travelling with our pets this time, it was wonderful to see their elaborate pet menu, featuring smoked pet food and even premium kibbles!
I can’t wait to return with my fur babies for a memorable experience!

Tucked away in the serene village of Shanag in Manali, Smokehouse by BraaiCraft is a gem for food lovers.

From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The menu is packed with delicious options, and everything is prepared with such care. We tried the mutton roast, asado chicken, and finished off with the plum cake and ice cream for dessert – every bite was an absolute delight!

The cosy ambience, paired with the calming sound of the brook flowing next to you, made it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy a great meal with family.

What truly sets this place apart is their unique BBQ equipment on display. It’s not just about the food; it’s an experience for anyone who loves great barbecue.

If you’re in Manali, don’t miss this place – it’s a perfect mix of incredible food and peaceful vibes.

Had amazing bbq dinner while staying with them. Absolutely loved the asado chicken and chimichurri dip. Fish and chips was also very nice.
Their bbq machines are south American

This place is nothing short of amazing—a dream spot for anyone who loves good food and great vibes. The BBQ grills, the stunning location, and the perfect music set the mood just right. We ordered Chicken Roast and Trout Asado, and both were unbelievably good. What really stood out were the generous portions and top-quality food. If you’re in Manali, this is a must-visit. You won’t regret it!

I don’t think we’ve ever eaten so well on a trip before! Smokehouse quickly became our go-to for meals, and for good reason. The roasts were unbelievably tender, the sausages packed with flavour, and the chicken galantine was a pleasant surprise. But the real highlight? The Smokehouse breakfast cooked live on the grill—an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time.
If you love great food cooked over fire, this is the place to be!

Nestled in the serene surroundings of Shenag, Manali, is a hidden gem offering an exceptional barbecue experience. The authentic flavors, international quality, and experiential dining,complete with watching the chef in action—make it feel like a culinary journey far beyond India. The Chicken Roast and Trout Asado are must-tries, reminiscent of the bold, smoky barbecues I enjoyed in South Africa. With generous portions and a tranquil ambiance, this is the perfect spot for food enthusiasts and big family get togethers seeking a unique and memorable meal. A true standout and my surprise find in Manali!

Amazing barbecue experience in the mountains!!!The open kitchen setup offers an engaging show as the skilled chef prepares meals right before your eyes, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the dining experience. During our corporate offsite brunch, our large group was comfortably accommodated in this cozy venue. What makes this place truly special is not just its delicious barbecue, but also its warm atmosphere enhanced by the presence of Elsa and Lilly, the restaurant's four-legged guest relationship officers who make this pet-friendly establishment feel even more welcoming. For those seeking unique experience in a mountain setting, go for it!

A beautiful place in Manali for barbecues and smoked food run by warm hosts. They make it fresh right in front of you. Loved the breakfast we had here. Thank you Faiz and Nitika for hosting us. We’ll be back for more.
