Bollywood actress and newly elected Member of Parliament from Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, is all set to fulfill a long-cherished dream. The Queen actress has officially announced the grand opening of her dream café, The Mountain Story, in her picturesque hometown, Manali.

Through Instagram Kangana presented moving video content coupled with pictures that displayed both the beautiful décor and nice outdoors of the café. She made a spontaneous offer to invite Deepika Padukone to be the first customer of the café in her own unique way.
From Silver Screen to Culinary Dreams: Kangana’s Passion for Food
Love and interest in food and hospitality always have been central parts of Kangana’s life. Rajeev Masand conducted an interview with her during 2013 when she shared her desire to open a restaurant featuring excellent cuisine in a relaxing setting. In 2025 The Mountain Story realized Kangana’s childhood dream which she had previously envisioned in 2013.
Her childhood dream realizes itself today as she opens The Mountain Story. My worldwide travels exposed me to multiple dining traditions and food cultures. Through her social media account Kangana excitedly stated that she would open her unique café in Manali.
The Mountain Story will present its very own menu through which international cuisine meets endemic Himachali cuisine. Among the served delights at the café customers can find artisanal coffee along with handcrafted desserts and both traditional Himachali siddu and trout dishes.
A Cozy Retreat in the Lap of the Himalayas
Tourists visiting Manali can find The Mountain Story situated among the scenic pristine landscapes where they will discover a comfortable retreat. The official Instagram account of The Mountain Story posted picturesque shots which showcase its rustic interior design as well as open-air sitting area and natural environment aesthetics.
The personal project supervision of Kangana led to the development of an establishment where nature interlocks with spaces that let visitors experience music and dining.
