Joyful Café

Joyful Cafe at Norbulingka is a hidden gem! The Cappuccino is rich and satisfying, and their wood oven pizzas are a delight for the taste buds. The ambiance is delightful, offering a perfect blend of joy and relaxation. Friendly staff and a menu that caters to both coffee and pizza lovers make this a must-visit spot in Dharamshala. Highly recommend!

Such wonderful hosts! And they serve such delicious food!

The wood fired pizza 🍕 was a delight. Authentic Italian Pizza!!

Would love to come back in the future!

We had Sushi rolls (served with wasabi, ginger slices and soy sauce), Roman Italiano thin crust Pizza (with perfectly cooked eggplant), Chicken wings and iced Americano. The portions were amazing and the everything on the table was delightful! The place was also very clean with warm vibes, with its wooden furniture, and earth colored walls and an all window facade. Thank you to our hosts and the waiter for the great service and good food.

Very Nice service. Very fast service too. Great food! I prefer the Mocha cafe, Mexican Hot Pizza and French Fries. For dessert Banana cake.

The people are humble and explain the dish if you don't know. Ambience is calm and music is very good too.

Worth the visit in Dharamshala! Come atleast once!

Beautiful, warm and cozy just behind the Norbulinka Institute. I had a coffee and bacon pizza and it was great. On a cold rainy day the coffee was perfect. The pizzas are made using traditional ovens and it was perfect 👌. Had a good chat with the owners and they are really nice and friendly people. You should definitely say hi to them when you visit this cafe. I don’t have a sweet tooth but tried their Chocolate cake and it was awesome! This is a nice little cafe and very moderately priced.

Tip: Take a book with you and enjoy their coffee, pizzas and desserts!

A must visit place if you are in dharmshala. Everything on menu looks great and the food is even better. The owners are so humble and polite to talk to. They have asked me to come again to try some more Japanese dishes 😅.

This place definitely serves the best coffee in town !! Located in Norbulinka this cafe has everything on the menu list which would make you feel satisfied!!

It's a must try restaurant in Norbulingka, Dharamshala. ( don't forget Hot peach tea)

Absolutely lovely place with beautiful ambience of solid wood, a wood fired oven for tasteful pizzas of thin crust, cakes and milkshakes with an elaborate menu to order, excellent service and must go place on your Dharamsala trip.

Firstly I would like to mention the ambience of the place that is absolutely home like they welcome you with a big smile and always assist you with the menu so that you get the best. The pizza is yummy and has a great wooden oven taste to it, one cannot miss the opportunity to taste thier pizza and moreover I really like the wooden interior of the cafe gives a great feeling

Went there after reading so many good reviews and had high expectations. And the expectations weren't shattered. Pizza was absolutely amazing and so was the coffee. The owner was gem of a person, so humble. He himself offered to get a half and half pizza made since me n my wife both were struggling to settle on a single flavor pizza. Just don't order in a hurry since the order will take 20-30 mins.

The best cafe I ever visited.
Food tastes so good that it is unimaginable.
The staff is so good.
The location is also amazing.
Everything is amazingly good.

I really love this place. The pizzas here are really tasty and the ambience is wonderful. My favorite thing to have here is the Japanese Green Tea (matcha). It's so different from the other green tea that you find in India. You must give it a try!!!

We were here for a supper and tea and had ordered- Masala chai, honey ginger tea and half half pizza.
One of the best thin crust pizzas here. Must try.
Also we packed their well known carrot cake and chocolate cake.

Best place to have pizza in Kangra Valley. Been there 4 times and each time is better than last. The host makes it even more comfortable.
