Black Pepper: Historically Golden

Once upon a time, in its long and storied history, Black Pepper was the condiment of kings.

Black Pepper in history

When the world was further apart and reaching from the east to the west involved considerable travel and expense, Black Pepper, the king of spices, commanded its weight in gold. Unparalleled as a spice, its usefulness in rich kitchens was varied and limitless.

Now, on the other hand, black pepper is just so common its prices are dirt cheap. With production and consumption in millions of tons a year annually, the global nature of the market has made it a common sight on the dining table.

Cancer fighter

By and large, scientists agree that this is a good thing. Because black pepper, beyond just tasting delicious, also contains within it compounds that help inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to recent research. The exact extent of the effect still remains to be studied, but there is a strong correlation. Piperine, a compound in black pepper is supposed to affect the self-renewable process of cancer cells, relieving the stress on the body, depriving the cancer calls.  

So, not only does it taste great, it staves off cancer too. There aren’t many foods that could claim such a distinction!

Our Black Pepper meets black pepper

Modelled in certain ways upon this exemplar spice, our restaurant, Black Pepper, is similarly regarded as the best restaurant inDehradun. Just as the Black Pepper was once highly coveted, so in our Black Pepper. And most importantly, we’ve kept black pepper an integral part of the diet still: not only do our chefs use it liberally, but we have specials that revolve entirely around the idea of dishes with high concentrations of black pepper.

In many ways thus, we go after our namesake. And unlike most of the restaurants around, not only is our food exemplary, but it just might keep cancer away!

Healthy and Responsible: Black Pepper’s food

Lean meats

Eighty percent of any healthcare regiment is the diet. It doesn’t matter whether you are trying to lose weight, or aiming to bulk up – if you don’t eat right, your body isn’t going to go where you want it. Regardless of what kind of body shape or fat content you start out from, your outcome is going to be heavily dependent upon what you eat, day in and day out. This means making smart choices and persisting with them.

Diet and Habit

Changing your body requires time. Recent studies have shown that it takes up to 66 days for new habits to form; conversely, it takes up to 66 days for old habits to break. Within this 66 day period you have to wake up every single day and consciously will yourself – to eat right, to exercise, to not indulge excessively – while painfully battling against the ghost of bad habits you’re trying to discard. Even a single instance of excessive indulgence can derail the entire process.

Eating Smart in Dehradun

This is where Black Pepper comes in. We understand the necessities that compel the intrepid traveler to eat, sometimes excessively, when vacationing. Our solution to that is simple: we will provide you food that’s not only scrumptious and filling, but also comfortable on your waistline!

To accomplish this goal, we have a wide array of specially prepared lean meats that minimize fats and carbs, and maximize the taste. As opposed to red meats (like mutton) and oil-saturated meals, these particular selections can act like an oasis amidst a cuisine rather negligent of its fat content. Black Pepper, the best multicuisine restaurant in Dehradun, ensures not only that we equip ourselves with such recipes, but we also keep a diverse array of them, enough to suit any palate.

The meals themselves…

… are often odd combinations of ingredients. Like our scrumptious Baked Chicken and Mushrooms, a meal that singly accords the weary traveler around 40% of daily protein intake, while providing less than 15% of daily fat. For the palate desiring some Chinese taste, we have meals like Crispy Vegetables Salt n Pepper that provides not only a good amount of protein, but also salts and other necessities. Moreover, despite how it sounds, it’s delicious. Our Dal Makhani Chef Special is to rave for, and provides all the nutritional benefits of excellent pulses, with the taste of the most sinfully extravagant chef meal.

We are mindful of your health in many other ways too: not only are there no dearth of choices like these that can be mixed and matched, but we also provide alternatives to the ‘liquid calories’ in heavy beer with microbrews and the best cocktails in the best restaurant in Dehradun. Furthermore, studies have shown that our kind of ambiance results in moderation and responsible consumption of food, a trait we are glad to instill, despite the orders and revenue it may lose us.

In the end, we aim to provide a healthy place for people and families to unwind.

When can we expect you here?
