Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Rishikesh

Unnecessarily expensive. Taste of food, quality and quantity are not upto the mark. I visited there because of a well known name but it’s like uchi dukan feeke pakwaan. They are not worth the money. I ordered masala dosa and wanted to order more but thank God I didn’t.

"Avoid this restaurant at all costs! The prices are exorbitant, and the food quality is severely disappointing. The tandoori roti was inedible, resembling plastic more than freshly baked bread. It seemed like they were serving old, reheated food. Not recommended."

Near parmarth Niketan this restaurant is very very famous here. Over hyped maybe. Daal price was like 300 something and the quantity was for 2 only with 3 nan per person. You can give it a shot.

First of all, as usual, we got confused about which one is the real Chhoti Walla Restaurant and which is the original. We ordered the Thali and Lassi. The Lassi was really delicious, but the Thali did not meet our expectations. The taste was quite average, typical of Chhoti Walla, and the Thali was not very flavorful. Additionally, it was quite expensive for what it offered. Overall, the experience was mediocre. But good thing is the Choti wala Uncle. It will make you happy and of the food.

Delicious Food at a Convenient Spot – Chotiwala Restaurant, Rishikesh There are two restaurants apparently by two brothers, we went to the one at the right. Service was very prompt and courteous. The food also arrived pretty quickly, it was tasty too. Prices also are reasonable. Overall a good find for a meal Chotiwala Restaurant near Ram Jhula is a great place to enjoy flavorful North Indian cuisine. The location is very convenient for travelers and pilgrims alike, just a short walk from the iconic Ram Jhula. The atmosphere is decent and comfortable for a casual dining experience. The place is located near Ram Jhula in Rishikesh. I went there for lunch and ordered a thali. The food was good—tasty and well-prepared—but a bit on the expensive side. They charge around ₹400 per thali, which is slightly high compared to other local options

Chotiwala restaurant is very famous in Hrishikesh near Swargadham . The live man posing outside is unique to these Chotiwala hotels . Looks very deceptive from outside but once you enter you will be delighted to find beautiful inside Awesome chairs with AC rooms lovely and mouth watering dishes makes it a hot cake hotel Must visit this economical hotel

The food is delicious, and the highlight of the visit is getting a picture with Chotiwala himself! You can choose between the AC hall and Non-AC seating—both are available at the same price. The service is impressively quick, and both the food and ambiance are clean and hygienic.

We had a wonderful time at Sitting Elephant! The food was absolutely delicious — from the rich, flavorful Malai Kofta to the comforting soup, and the surprise dessert on the house, everything was perfect. A special mention to Sudhanshu for his outstanding service — warm, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. The ambience is cozy, with a beautifully done setup that creates a very relaxing vibe. The live music added the perfect touch to the evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, soulful music, and heartfelt hospitality. Will definitely be visiting again!

Dining at The Sitting Elephant, the rooftop restaurant of Ell Bee Ganga View, was an experience to cherish. Overlooking the serene Ganga, the ambience is both tranquil and inspiring. The restaurant serves authentic Uttarakhand cuisine, prepared with care and rich in traditional flavors. The thoughtfully arranged High Tea added a refined touch to the evening, perfectly complementing the setting. With its blend of exquisite food, impeccable service, and breathtaking views, The Sitting Elephant truly elevates the dining experience in Rishikesh. 🌸✨

Sitting Elephant Restaurant is a must recommend place for Rishikesh Visit. Which offers you a serene dining experience by the Holy Ganga River. Delicious food relaxing ambience and scenic river view along with Ghats, which makes it a perfect spot for peace and flavour lovers. Cheers

One of the best Chinese cuisine available in city which is comparable to all major cities in country. Even starters like dahi ke Sholay was good. Quantity is really good. Dining space is plenty with a small garden like area with a swing where kids can enjoy.

You're really paying for the view! In words of a wise person: if you're there for views, get a drink and sip the beauty. Otherwise if you're for food, get food some place else. A bill of whopping 1700 for Paneer + Naan + Pakoda. All mediocre at best. Their drinks however (we tried the Blackcurrant shake) are good.

We recently visited The Sitting Elephant Rooftop Restaurant in Rishikesh and had a lovely dining experience. The restaurant is located near the main city area, easy to reach by car or two-wheeler, and has a decent parking space nearby which is quite convenient for visitors.The rooftop setup offers an amazing view of the Ganga River, especially during the day, though even at night the vibe is peaceful and relaxing. The ambience of the restaurant is calm and beautifully maintained, making it a great spot to unwind while enjoying good food and the Rishikesh vibe. For dinner, we ordered Paneer Kadhai Khurchan, Subz Biryani, and Tandoori Roti. The food tasted really good — fresh and well-spiced. A complimentary papad was served as a snack, which was a nice touch. Prices felt slightly on the higher side, but the quality and presentation made it worth it. A special mention to Karishma, who attended our table. Her courteous and friendly nature added a personal touch to the experience. She made us feel truly welcomed. Five stars to her for excellent service.Overall, a lovely place to enjoy good vegetarian food with a great Ganga view and warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rishikesh. Note: It is a veg only restaurant.

The restaurant offers excellent views of river ganga and serves food that is both delicious and clean. The staff is courteous and attentive, making the overall dining experience pleasant and enjoyable.

Beautiful restaurant, great food, rich ambience. If you sit and the very back, you'll also get Ganges view. A serene place, and the food quality and quantity is amazing. Highly recommended, will definitely visit again!

e had a lovely time! The vegetable momos and rice noodles were absolutely delicious—flavorful and satisfying. We also tried the kombucha and a smoothie, which were okay but could be improved. The paneer chilly and the fruit pancake rounded off the meal nicely. Overall, a cozy and enjoyable experience with good food and great vibes.

We had the grill tofu salad, little Buddha special and Mexican breakfast. The food was so good and freshly served!! We enjoyed the view to the Ganga River and the atmosphere. The stuff was so nice to us

This place is 100% overhyped. I went here after hearing that their food is good. I ordered two items, veg momos and falafel . The staff were unbothered about addressing the customer. Funny thing is, I found a worm inside the soup given with momos. They said you eat without soul. Momos tasted below average. Falafel plate came with fries that were fried decade ago. Waste of money. Instead go to beatles cafe. They are pretty good.

The cafe is situated at a very scenic point from where the view of Ganga is beautiful. However, our experience of the cafe with regards to food and service was not great. We ordered their Falafel all, tomato soup, momos and brownie with ice cream. Brownie and soup were good but the other 2 were disappointing. The service as well wasn’t great as we had to repeatedly ask for our orders including water bottles.

Nice view,seatings with cushions where you can relax and eat but in summers they need to install more fans to make areas comfortable. Food is better than average and service is fine. It's a busy place bcz of the ambience. Overall good.

The place is very famous for it's view of the Ganges while dining. The place is clean and tidy. Food options are good. It's a little pricy for the portion size. Staff is good. Overall a decent experience.

We went for dinner here on a Friday and luckily found a place to sit without waiting. Food was really nice and we enjoyed all the dishes especially the Shahi Paneer and their special Biryani. Those who don't like spiciness please avoid their mushroom dish in main course. Service was a bit delayed but it's justified as the place was full. And they have indoor as well as outdoor seating. Enjoy your trip in Rishikesh! Hakuna Matata! 🌞🕉️🌻

Little bit far from Tapovan but absolutely worth it!! The food was amazing, delicious and freshly served. We ordered the chicken tikka masala curry, chicken archari tikka and the za’atar chicken salad The staff ware so nice.

This Review is 3 years Overdue. Shout out to Amar and Hari for their exceptional service. Excellent Food. Must Try MUTTON and Israeli Dishes... And Milky Bar Chapati (Amar's Favourite).

Comfortable chill atmosphere. The chicken 65, fried momos and tandoori momos were the Bomb 😘👌🏻 Me and the lads were addicted to that cheeky chicken after a strictly veg yoga retreat. 🍗🐔🐤 10/10 Drumsticks

In my opinion it’s the best cafe in while of Rishikesh. The food and beverages are excellent and quite evident everything is fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Must visit !!!

The food was good , the atmosphere was nice and quiet. They brought the food a bit late but it was tasty. Parking could be an issue since it's a bit inside. You'll have to walk.

One of the best places in Rishikesh. Whatever you'd order it will be excellent. Only place near Rishikesh where you'd find non veg. Excellent quality food.

My love for this place is eternal. They offer a wide variety of options to choose from. Food is good, the views are killer. Freedom cafe is clearly a must to do when in Rishikesh. Trust me you cannot miss this. There are different seating arrangements available, and the service staff is really courteous.

It a nice cafe with good food but slightly overrated. There is a queue to get the seat in season time and 25-30 mins waiting time for your food once you order it so keep the time in mind before going We ordered a paneer shintzel and quesadilla and also a pasta and which were decent not very great. The drinks were good. Try lemon nara for sure very fresh and refreshing

✨ The place has such a good vibe! The food was great too — we tried Arrabbiata Pasta, Falafel, Cold Coffee, Fresh Lime Soda, Mushroom Omelette, All-Veg Burger, and Mashed Potatoes with Fried Mushroom & Onion, Hot Chocolate! Everything except the mashed potatoes was really good! We even played a few rounds of UNO and had a lovely time. Definitely recommend this place! 💯

Apart from the good Ganga view, everything else about this café was disappointing. The food quality was terrible — the potato wedges were clearly fried in old, dirty oil and looked stale. Every dish we ordered tasted bad and seemed hastily prepared. The service was equally poor; the staff were rude, unprofessional, and showed no sense of hospitality. If you’re going there just to enjoy a cup of coffee with a nice view, that’s fine. But if you’re expecting a good meal or pleasant service, I’d strongly recommend skipping this place. Definitely not worth the visit.

We ordered a few drinks like juices and coffee. They were good. Also ordered a few dishes they were also good. But the staff is really really slow. They don’t listen when you call them. Since the old partner left, the things have changed. Also, the view is good. It has a proper ganga view which makes the place more visitable. Overall good experience!

Freedom Cafe, Rishikesh A Must-Visit for Romantic Views Freedom Cafe in Rishikesh is a truly captivating spot, perfect for a romantic evening by the Ganga river. The location is incredibly atmospheric, situated right by the riverside, it offers a magical and romantic night view that’s simply breathtaking. The overall atmosphere is very "cool" and relaxing, making it an ideal place to unwind. The culinary experience matches the stunning setting. The food is absolutely "yummy," and the great service ensures a pleasant dining experience. You’ll feel well looked after by the attentive staff. However, be prepared for its popularity. This cafe is in high demand, meaning booking a table is necessary and you should expect a significant wait, often around an hour or more, especially during peak hours. But trust me, once you secure your spot and soak in the beautiful surroundings with delicious food, the wait will feel entirely worth it. Freedom Cafe is highly recommended for its perfect blend of great food, excellent service, and unforgettable romantic views.

⭐ Overall Rating: 4/5 Visited OM Freedom Café, Rishikesh, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful and scenic dining experiences in the area. The combination of good food and a stunning view of the Ganga makes this place stand out. 🍕 Food Experience: We tried lasagne, pizza, pasta, and pancakes, and everything was genuinely tasty. The flavours were balanced, portions were good, and the dishes felt freshly prepared. The pizza had a nice crisp base, the pasta was creamy, and the pancake was a great way to end the meal. A solid spot if you're looking for comforting café-style food with some variety. ⏳ Service: Service was on the slower side, especially during peak hours. The staff is courteous but stretched, so it takes time for orders to arrive. Since the food is freshly prepared, waiting is expected, but they could still work a bit on speed. 🌊 View & Ambience: The view of the Ganga River is absolutely incredible—this is easily the biggest highlight of the café. The peaceful sound of the river combined with the open, breezy setting gives you that perfect Rishikesh vibe. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend sitting on the upper deck. The waiting time for those seats is totally worth it. The panoramic river view from the top level makes the meal feel even more enjoyable. 🎵 Café Vibe: The atmosphere is relaxed, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. It’s a great place for travellers, readers, solo visitors, and anyone wanting to enjoy a calm riverside meal. 📝 Summary: OM Freedom Café is a must-visit if you want great food paired with one of the best riverside views in Rishikesh. While the service can be slow, the ambience and food more than make up for it. Sit on the upper deck if you can—it's an experience you shouldn’t miss. Recommended for: Scenic meals, peaceful evenings, backpackers, café lovers, and anyone looking to soak in the beauty of the Ganga.

I love how serene this spot. It’s so quiet and the view of the mountain is so pretty! Definitely check this place out on your rishikesh visit. I loved their tofu scramble and ragi pizza. The coffee was delicious as well!

This place is amazing for a warm and nourishing meal. The food was delicious, healthy & they had gluten free options. The service was great and we had a lovely server named Lalita who explained to us about the gluten free options. Now I understand what I need to order in other restaurants to have gluten free flour! Thank you so much Lalita for your loving and kind energy 😍

Hello Everyone I have visited this beautiful brunch this weekend and the place is so beautiful and peaceful. I tried the ragi pizza, pasta and sandwich. Food was not just delicious but very healthy too. I would highly recommend you guys to visit this cafe in rishikesh 😊😊

Pure Soul Cafe is a great place! The food here is amazing, especially the pasta. The view is also fantastic. During rush hours, you might have to adjust with other customers, but the people are very sweet and it's easy to manage. Overall, everything was great! Food: 5/5 | Service:

Best place in rishikesh to spend a calm, blissful day with beautiful mountain views. They have completely plant based and also gluten free options in the menu. sweetest people who work here. I had best 3 days relaxing n working here and will definitely go back if I'm ever in the city.

The service was great! The food was delicious and the view is beautiful. Highly recommend.

Recently visited this cafe in Tapovan Rishikesh. The location is beautiful,overlooking the mountains and it's serene beauty. The place is peaceful and spacious , and has option of outdoor sitting as well. We ordered Granola mixed fruit with milk and Sandwiches, both were scrumptious. The food here is freshly prepared and is healthy and tasty. The staff were courteous. Would love to visit this place again and spend more time here

We visited this café during our trip to Rishikesh for lunch, and the vibe was amazing! The seating was really comfortable, and the view was super cool. They offer a variety of food options, and everything we tried was delicious. If you're near Laxman Jhula, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Simply amazing place! Its location, the food of the number 1 chef and the good people there. I recommend coming and relaxing in front of the breathtaking view🥰

I've been a few places, and this is a good one. Clean kitchen, my special order (big hummus with big salad only) was the best order in three weeks. Peaceful place, good atmosphere, very friendly staff, amazing view and location right next to Ganges, very good prices. I don't know what more to ask for. This is also where Yogi is to be too.

Amazing way to start your morning with masala omlet, butter toast and Chai. The chai here is flavourful with perfect ganga view. I'm coming here after several years and it still has maintained the taste. Would request the owner to include bun maska in their menu 😋 if possible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Delicious & Refreshing Experience! Tried this café recently and I was seriously impressed! The Thukpa was full of flavor—comforting, hot, and perfect in spice. The Soup Momos were soft, juicy, and served in a rich, flavorful broth—easily one of the best I’ve had! To top it off, the Mojito was super refreshing and the perfect balance of mint, lemon, and fizz. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing, and the staff was warm and welcoming. If you’re in the area and craving soulful Himalayan-style food with a chilled vibe, don’t miss this place. Highly recommended!

Incredible!! The view on maGanga is amazing and the food is the so good !! Very very tastful and in our years of experience the best in Rishikesh A must when you are in Rishikesh

We highly reccomend this place best service and food so far in rishikesh, amazing view and staff (yogi) *****

I had a really disappointing experience staying here. the rooms are old and run-down. The biggest letdown, however, was the service and hospitality. The owner is incredibly rude—constantly yelling at both staff and guests. We were the only ones staying at the property, which spans three floors, so maybe others are avoiding this place for the same reasons. The food was overpriced. Honestly, they should either close this property or hire a competent manager to replace the owner.

Beautiful place to stay! It's covered with hand made paintings giving a gorgeous Indian heritage atmosphere. The garden makes you forget you are in a city

Really bad experience staying here. From the outside it looks like a tradition wooden house with nice garden, but the rooms are very old and shabby. The main disappointment was the service and hospitality. The owner lady is another Karen who just yells at people including the staff and even the guests. We were a little bit late for checking out, so she started nagging and yelling even though there was no new guest coming that day. We were the only ones staying there in a property of 3 floors, maybe everyone else knew about this experience. Food was overpriced and worse than roadside thela. They should close this property or at least hire a manager to replace the lady.

We enjoy comimg back to eat. Food is delicious and feels so good in the body. Service is excellent.

Lovely diner, like at home ! Very nice family, we love our food and the energy there ! All fresh and delicious

Such a peaceful gem, the only Ayurvedic soul filling food at this side of river. Food made with love. Only using ghee, so not overly spiced. Perfect for your digestion ;). Clean. The family is cooking, and are devoted to your service and the place is cared for in every detail 🙏🏽

Good reasonable priced food and entertainment

Food is super tasty (10/10) and especially the dosas are a must-try! However, the seating is a bit congested, staff could be friendlier, and hygiene can be improved. Still, the taste makes it worth visiting near Triveni Ghat.

Loved the food. Wasn't expecting this exceptional south indian food in North India with perfect south indian flavour. Felt Home. I had Masala Dosa, Idli and onion uttapam. Sambar is super top class. I will highly recommend this restaurant to try. And one request for a restaurant is to add Filter Coffee to their menu which will make it complete south indian cuisine.

This is one of Gem of Restaurant where they serve Authentic South Indian Food. Whenever I visit Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh, I try to visit this restaurant and have their Masala dosa. They serve it with Sambhar, Coconut chutney and tomato onion red chutney. Those two chutney are too good 😋

Visited this place few times. Tried masala dosa, Mysore coconut masala dosa, idli and vada. For Idli i gave 5 🌟 , chutney and sambar also tasty ( perfect combination i must admit). Dosa i prefer more crispy than it was served. But anyway Good place for South Indian food with reasonable prices

An authentic south indian restaurant here at Ghat road Rishikesh near triveni ghat. They ar specialised in South indian menu and serves only south indian dishes. One can get multiple choices to choose from Idli, vada, Dosa, Uttapam etc. The taste is good and order gets serve quickly. They have compact sitting arrangement with clean interior. Overall liked the food.

The behavior of the shop owner is also not good. The service is not good. After waiting for 1 hour they say your order is not ready yet, please wait some more.

Shri Balaji Restaurant is one of the best south indian restaurants in the city. Not just the Indian even foreigners love to have South Indian food here. I took one of my friends from the USA at this restaurant and she loved it! Go for it! The best choice! All time favorite😊🙏🏻❤️

This place has my heart This is In Tapovan, Rishikesh has my heart! They serve the cleanest, most authentic meals I’ve had—every meal that I had here is a delight. Their savory pancakes and healthy pasta options are a must-try. Easily the best spot in town. They also served the best juice

Very tasty, fresh, well seasoned food. Great chill, quiet vibe. Great service. Many vegan, gluten free tasty options.

Their Ragi pancake with a tofu, tomatoes and olives is the best I have had! I would happily eat this everyday. Getting to this place with less than ideal footwear may be a bit of a challenge. The pancakes make up for it though:)

Very kind staff ☺️ they have ragi (gluten free) pancakes and vegan options! Prices are also great. 🙌

Such a cute little hidden gem! Delicious food, lovely staff, and very good prices. We will definitely be back!

Had fantastic experience today. We had Ragi based pancakes Mushroom spinach cream, veg panner masala, kichidi, green juice, and carrot juices.

I love this place! I keep coming back and everything I’ve had here is delicious. The savoury ragi pancake in particular because I haven’t tried them before coming here. The atmosphere is beautiful, you’re surrounded by tree’s. The service is warm and friendly and the food is wholesome and delicious. It taste like a home kitchen. Thank you ☺️

Amazing, beautiful and service, the food organic from there. And super healthy, an delicious menu with a mix of dishes. And all the girls are lovely 💗 and the lovely View 💚

Very rustic very good. Food is great. Definetly different than most options in Rishikesh. The cafe is part of an orphanage for girls. It is run mostly by volunteers at the orphanage. The property is out of this world. They grow a lot of the things served on the menu at the property itself. Its a must go place.

Absolutely delicious and nutritious food. They have their own sweet and healthy cows and garden. A lovely place. Like a dream. 🙏 ✨

The best food in rishikesh! For westerners it’s a haven. Fresh salads that are safe to eat. Kale smoothies, vegan banana bread, lasagna, gnocchis, Ravioli!

The place has a very serene view and a high positive vibe to it. The people running the place serve food from heart. The menu options are limited and taste of almost everything is only ok. I would say its more on the healthier side than taste. Which is good too. Overall a nice chilled out place to visit. If possible go early in morning as it gets a bit hot during afternoons

Best cafe around! This is the only place which has fresh green salad with organic kale, arugula, and lettuce that they grow themselves! And amazing pasta, ravioli, and Indian food. And the best chai! It’s also a beautiful atmosphere, and all the proceeds go to helping their nonprofit school and children‘s safe home. ❤️🙌🏼 Truly a must see in Rishikesh! This place will touch your heart forever 💖

We had 3 entrees for lunch on our last day in India. The setting is amazing, with a kids school on the back, and the restaurants nature view! All the money spend here goes to support the schools, and there is great effort put in here! We can see that the cause is great and that the heart is in what they do 🥰. But the restaurant lacks so much of what you expect from this country’s food. Come here to try the Ginger Lemon Tea - incredible! The cakes are also great! Only the food is no good. I Cannot express the frustration of having a dish called India’s special and having food without salt or spicy... I thought no-spices were against Indian law! This was blend and not well presented. Also had the Tibetan Momo’s that were ok (seeing at the picture) - and “ok” is the best way to describe it. Another ask we had was the Kale Rolls, and maybe it was the worst thing I tried in India. Unfortunately the food was no good - but the place, the nature, the escape from busy streets of Rishikesh are worth the visit. Expect prices to be higher the usual.

A very nice place for food and drinks. Very comfortable warm and good food. Pan cakes are awesome. Fresh toast is also good. Club sandwitch is ok ok Blueberry shake and mixed berry shake can be better

This is so far my favourite spot in Rishikesh,Though it is very difficult to find a seat in this cafe most of the times. They have amazing food options with veg and non veg dishes. Their drinks are also worth trying 👍 They have plenty of sitting upstairs and downstairs.

I visited Ganga View Café and overall had a pleasant experience. The pizza was quite good and the coffee was decent, while the banoffee pie was just okay. But what truly stands out is the vibe of the place — calm, scenic, and almost like a pause from the city’s chaos. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the view. I’d recommend this café more for its ambience and beautiful setting than for the food itself.

Stepping into this café felt like stepping into a pocket of peace within the city’s chaos. The atmosphere was warm and calming, with just the right balance of music and stillness that allowed me to slow down and breathe. The service was thoughtful and kind, I've tried so many things here and tbh everything was okaish in taste but all you love is the moment

Such an amazing place. Totally loved the vibe. The staff is humble. Food portions and price are totally justified. Washrooms are hygienic. Its just amazing. Spent the sunset here with my friends

We enjoyed Ganga view cafe . The food taste great, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant and friendly in front of the beautiful Ganga river. We want to thank especially our kind waiter who served us so kindly Mr. Kulveer singh. We will come again for sure 🪷

The view was very beautiful and utmost peace. You can see the ganges flowing and sunshine . Food was also delicious but order only what you have either reviewed or tasted earlier.

VJ's place is a must to visit in Rishikesh. Pankaj, the boss himself will always ensure his customers be satisfied and enjoy the food in his restaurant. He prepare most the food by himself. Sometimes, he prepare meals that is not on the menu out of surprise for this customers too. His food is always good and delicious too. Vj's in Rishikesh is a must-visit for pizza lovers! Their Thin Crust Pizza with spinach, mushroom, and extra cheese is a game-changer. The flavors are spot on, with the perfect balance of earthy mushrooms, fresh spinach, and creamy cheese. The vegetable soup was really good too. What makes it even better? The stunning views of the Ganga River! The cozy ambiance and friendly service add to the experience.

A nice restaurant on the banks of River Ganges. It has great views. Food is excellent. You get great Indian food besides a variety of pizzas. Try out Garwali Thali meals. You will love it. Place is clean, service is efficient and the staff are friendly. Limited parking space available. Centrally located in Rishikesh. Take your family for a relaxed sumptuous lunch or dinner.

VJ's Giardino by the Ganges is a beautiful blend of affordability, good vibes, and scenic charm. Tucked away in the serene surroundings of Rishikesh, this place offers a peaceful escape with a stunning view of nature and the calming flow of the Ganges nearby. The food quality was good. Despite being so pocket-friendly, the vibe of the place is relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for anyone looking to unwind in a natural setting. Whether you're solo, with friends, or family, this spot truly offers value for money with a soul-soothing experience. Highly recommended!

VJ's Giardino by the Ganges, RishikeshNestled along the serene Ganges in Rishikesh, VJ's Giardino offers breathtaking river views that soothe the soul, with the flowing waters and distant hills creating a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The Gharwali thali we savored was a highlight—authentic, flavorful Kumaoni dishes like aloo ke gutke and bhatt ki churkani, served piping hot and generously portioned. Staff were warm and attentive, enhancing the cozy vibe. The complimentary hot chocolate was a sweet, unexpected touch! Highly recommended for an authentic Gharwali escape

VJ’s Giardino offers a breathtaking view of the Ganges and Ram Jhula, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The ambiance is peaceful in the afternoon, while evenings, especially on weekends, can be busy—yet the service remains excellent. The pizza, lasagna, egg pad thai, nasi goreng, and chocolate milkshake were all absolutely delicious! Also they make regular dishes like tawa roti, side dishes etc. The staff is incredibly polite and courteous, adding to the warm and welcoming experience. Plus, its prime location on the main road makes it easily accessible. A must-visit for great food with a stunning view!

This place is right by the Ganges in Rishikesh. The view is amazing – you see the river flowing and green hills. We ate the Gharwali thali. It had tasty local food like potato curry, ragi roti, rice, and more. Everything was fresh and hot. The staff was very kind and helpful. Great food, great view, great people.

Best roof top view of Ganga river and julaa. Must try thali. Pizza is also good. 500inr per head

Anna's Mess is easily the best South Indian cuisine restaurant in town. It's aptly named. It's a mess, you sit, eat and go. Not a café, so no need to linger. Still, it's pretty. The dining space is in three parts, an indoor space for chilly days, a gazebo-like covered space with open sides and a gravel courtyard with potted plants. The beverages maybe pricey, but the food is good value-for-money in pricey Tapovan. It delivers on quality. I'd in mind Ragi Mysuru Dosa, but I asked for Rava by mistake, told there was none, I opted for the Masala Dosa Combo. It was a good choice. The dosa and idli came with three kinds of chutney and sambhar, in reasonably quick time. The food was delicious. The only thing I'll fault is the quantity of the pineapple kesari. Delicious but just a tablespoonful 😔 So, what could they do better, a maitre'd for sure, who could tell you if there's a table available; then the gravel-stone garden courtyard, could do with a lot of tidying up.

Anna Mess is the definitive destination for authentic South Indian cuisine, bypassing fuss for flavor and tradition in Rishikesh. This humble spot serves the true, unadulterated taste of the South, starting with the Dosa Platter, Ragi Dosas, Sambar Rice etc. The authenticity of the kitchen shines through its foundational dishes. The Sambar is a complex masterpiece, achieving a perfect balance of sour tang from tamarind and deep earthiness from freshly ground spices—it is never overly sweet or heavy. The Rasam is a searing, pepper-laced tonic that wakes up the palate and aids digestion. While the Podi Masala Dosa is flawlessly crisp, the true star is the soft, Every dish proves that simple, fresh ingredients, when handled with traditional technique, deliver a depth of flavor that is unmatched. Anna Mess is a non-negotiable must-visit for the genuine taste of South India. Anna is Very humble person and when I told him my name is also Rishikesh then out of his generosity he served us a Ragi chocolate cake which was very delicious 😋

A good south indian style restaurant in Rishikesh. Tried their different masala dosa, medu vada and coffee over a few days. Ghee karam dosa is my fav. The ambience is also good. Has both indoor and outdoor seatings.

Absolutely loved the food at **Annas Mess**! Authentic **South Indian taste** with perfectly crispy dosas, soft idlis, and flavorful sambar and chutneys. Feels just like eating in South India. The place is clean, service is quick, and staff are very polite. A must-visit for anyone who enjoys **true traditional South Indian cuisine**.

Delicious south Indian food We ate the mini dosa platter and the tali which were great. We especially liked the paniyaram! Also don’t miss the sukku milk, it’s delightful. The place has a nice atmosphere and the prices are fair Highly recommend

I had been there on 2 different days cuz the food was so good! Me being a South Indian, I felt like I was at home! The dosa, the chutneys so authentic and the Kuthu Parota I had was very very amazing! I mean even though its a veg variant still it was so so good!

Great food, good portions, reasonable prices! The staff is attentive and professional yet not pushy - I appreciated some spot on recommendations from their kind waiter, Rohid. I went there twice during my short stay and will be back :)

My recent visit to Rishikesh led me to the Oasis Cafe by Salvus, and it was indeed an enchanting experience. Nestled amidst the serene surroundings of Rishikesh, this cafe truly lives up to its name - a refreshing oasis in the midst of bustling city life. From the moment I entered the cafe, I was greeted with a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The tasteful decor, comfortable seating, and soothing music created a perfect ambiance for relaxation and rejuvenation. The menu at Oasis Cafe was diverse, offering a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. I was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the innovative dishes on offer. The chefs at Oasis Cafe truly exercise their culinary prowess, creating flavorful and healthy food that catered to various dietary preferences. Whether it was the delectable Buddha Bowl, the mouthwatering avocado toast, or the refreshing and energizing smoothies, each dish was a delight for the senses. The staff at Oasis Cafe deserve a special mention for their warm and friendly service. They were attentive, taking care of every detail to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu and suggestions for food and beverages added an extra touch of personalized service. In addition to the delightful food, the cafe's location is worth mentioning. Situated near the Ganges river, it offers a serene view, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind after exploring the spiritual wonders of Rishikesh. The open-air seating further adds to the charm, allowing guests to enjoy the natural beauty and peaceful ambiance that surrounds them. Overall, my experience at Oasis Cafe by Salvus was exceptional. The delicious food, tranquil atmosphere, and attentive service made it a true haven in Rishikesh. Whether you're a resident or a traveler, this cafe is a must-visit for those seeking a break from the hectic pace of life. I wholeheartedly recommend Oasis Cafe by Salvus as a place to indulge in tasty vegetarian and vegan delights while soaking in the beauty of Rishikesh.

The hotel above Cafe Oasis is really bad. The owner frankly admitted all he cares about is money. The sheets were re used and not clean, they had burn stains on them, the curtains had broken rings and people could see into the room, the decor was super gaudy and not at all soothing. The people running the place played loud bollywood music all day and spike loudly at each other and the vibe of the cafe was not at all quiet or spiritual, in keeping with what people hope for when they come to a holy town like rishikesh. It was like a gold fish bowl.

Awesome food, and attention to cleanliness. Every effort was made to cook what we desired and always offers of a second serve if required. We have appreciation of the owner/chef hard work wish to please.

I am staying here since last three days. I can say that this guest house is a decent in medium budget range. The mountains view is very beautiful from this place. In the downstairs they have a restaurant also which serves all kind of delicious foods. The prices are reasonable as well. Apart from this, the staffs are good and polite. Given that it's a budge friendly and guest house, you cannot expect everything but you can stay here happily. The Ganga ghats are near and just 5 minutes walk.

Great eating place near Ram Jhula. Quiet and cosy, you can dine at the garden or inside the enclose room. Tried the vegetables sizzler and its marvellous, highly recommend!

Good food, different kind of dishes and you can eat healthy if you would like to. Nice rooms and toilets to be india. The manager or the staff is very kind and helpful

Had several lunches with friends in here. Great service, food is ok, masala tea tastes bad, the water is not even boiled.

Great location and service. Staff is attentive. But sadly food is a downer . We ordered iced tea which was basically served so so diluted that it was only tinted water no taste. They made it again and it was good now. Pesto pizza had literally few small blobs of pesto as a topping . And hummus platter looked pretty but did not kick the taste buds at all. maybe Indian food is better but we didn't try that.

Rating this place a Solid 4 Star as i had a lovely experience. We tried their Pahadi Thali, which gave a nice taste of traditional mountain flavors. Simple, hearty, and satisfying. The food overall was fresh and well-prepared. The highlight for me was definitely their signature dessert, Jal Jalebi. The jalebis were perfectly crisp and golden, served with a rich, creamy rabdi (an indulgent and delightful finish to the meal). The view of the Ganga from the restaurant is stunning, making the dining experience feel peaceful and special. The ambiance is relaxed, and it’s a great spot to unwind after exploring the area.

We loved the ambience and also the food. We tried some local dishes here like Kafuli (spinach with garlic) and Gahat Daal ( a typical lentil grown in Garhwal region) and the taste is unique. But one must try the dessert rabri with jalebi, it's awesome.

We were as much tired as hungry and landed up here simply because of the Google ratings. Vibe was good, dining space was large and well laid out. Even though most of the people were opting for buffet we wanted our own food, hence! Everything we ordered was good, be it North Indian or mediterranean.

I love staying at Ganga Kinare. There's no other place I'd stay in Rishikesh. The staff are so kind, can't do enough for you, the food is truly exquisite, especially the breakfast! To be so close to Ganga is the highlight though, and the Ganga ārti with pundit ji is my favourite 🙏🏼 Thank you Ganga Kinare, I'll be back again and again!

We had an amazing experience at Jal & Jalebi in Rishikesh! The food was delicious. We tried the Garhwali Thali, which was full of authentic local dishes and beautifully presented. A big shoutout to Shashi, who served us with so much warmth and attentiveness. She was very knowledgeable about the dishes and shared small details about how the history and the culture.

The pahadi thali at Jal and Jalebi is fantastic. Tried pahadi cuisine for the first time and must say it was worth the recommendation by Rajat and Aman. The servers were kind enough to recommend it and we are glad to consider their words of praise for the scrumptious food. Thank you again Rajat and Aman for hospitality at Jal and Jalebi.

We stumbled upon this cozy café right outside our hotel and thought of giving it a try. The ambiance is bee fantasy based! Lovely to step in. Some items are unavailable in the menu. We tried the Trio Bruschetta and Arugula Sandwich. Both were just yummy and it was a delicious breakfast for us. Portion size is great. One disheartening thing is we saw full size cakes being thrown in the bin. If this can be managed through effective handling of cooking only necessary items or giving away to the poor, it can make a big difference

Honey hut gives different vibes and different taste. Ambience was amazing. Food and service is perfect. They use honey rather thn suger in drinks that make them special.

This was the CUTEST little spot! The staff was so nice and the food and drinks were really good. I also love how they support the bees and create great products made from the bees! Such a bright and uplifting space as well. Would absolutely recommend!

Cute cafe! Beautiful design, delicious tea and blueberry sponge cake A bit expensive

I spent several weeks lounging in its sibling, The Honey Hut on the Mall Road, Shimla. My delightful experiences with its excellent desserts naturally made me gravitate to its Tapovan branch. This is a larger affair with a lot more seating space, dark-polish wooden tables, and posh single-seater sofas and lounge chairs. The lighting is warm, the ceiling looks like a wooden cottage affair, and the design plays with pastel yellows, whites, and browns. The huge glass shopfront lets in beautiful natural light and is great for people-watching, as it overlooks the busy road leading down to the celebrated Laxman Jhula. The chocolate pastry, I ordered, naturally came with a pot of honey. The very act of letting the honey flow has its own charm and soothing air. The pastry was rich in chocolate and absolutely scrumptious.

An absolute gem in the heart of Rishikesh! Honey Hut is not just a café—it’s an experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed by the most courteous and warm staff I’ve come across. Their service was exceptional—genuinely kind, attentive, and full of positive energy. It really elevated our entire visit. We tried a wide variety of items and loved every bite. The apple pie, blueberry cheesecake, apple lemonade, mango shake, and margarita pizza were all delightful, but the honey sandwiches and sun-dried tomato sandwiches truly stole the show—fresh, flavorful, and unlike anything else we’ve had. What makes Honey Hut even more special is their dedication to authenticity and health. They don’t use refined sugar—only pure, natural honey. Even their skincare products, made with real honey, are worth checking out. I couldn’t resist picking up a few! Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rishikesh. It’s soulful, delicious, and genuinely memorable.

Visited Honey Hut in Rishikesh and tried their cupcake and iced tea—absolutely loved it! The cupcake was fresh and tasty, and the iced tea was super refreshing. Cozy vibe, great service, and perfect spot to chill. A must-visit café in town!

The place was at a prime location and now when the bridge is closed it is not as good as it was before. I remember this place as a perfect restaurant. The place and view from there is great. The food this time was OK but not excellent. The bread was a bit dry and other stuff also... I think they keep stuff out for a long time so it's not as fresh. All in all it was fine and still recommended.

After many visits over many years this experience was poor. The bridge is closed so very quiet here. Ordered Veggie Burger and Fries. After long wait the bun was rock hard, stale. The burger was wood. They said fried. Way over done. Could not eat it. Fries ok. I returned the meal and they were not happy but didn't charge me, which is fair. Just a bad experience after many good meals there in the past. Uggggh. Not returning there anymore.

Not worth the hype. Laxman jhulla is under construction so you won't be getting the best views from this location. Their menu is good, but the quality is not that good. I ordered a chocolate cake and got an insect on it, I communicated the same with one of the staff and he said it came from outside, but he didn't change the cake. Rishikesh has better places than this.

Devraj Coffee Corner German Bakery and Restaurant, located adjacent to the famous Laxman Jhula. Very nice place with the utmost scenic view of the river Ganga and also you can enjoy the view mountains from the other side. Food is great,variety of bakery options available. Service is great.

The three star is just for the amazing location. This location only make your food tastier even though it's not. Don't know why I have ordered Lasagna and Thai Curry with rice. For dessert we also ordered Cheese Pan Cake, just look at the picture, this was far from defination and rubbish in taste. Out of surprise, both were my worst dishes in life, mid that they don't serve non veg, doesn't mean thry can't ruin a dish, it was bland and tasteless. We had to eat because we had the best view.

Nice place to have breakfast . I would recommend their almond triangle and peanut cookies The food was okay , we tried their cheese and tomato toast. It was hard to bite 🙃 The view is nice and peaceful. This place is not wheelchair accessible as you need to climb down stairs to reach the restaurant.

Great location, it's right next to laxman jhula. Service takes time but the waiter notified of the same upfront. Ambience is basic but the visitors make it a good blend of culture. Food tasted good and staff was polite and helpful too.

People think that they can put a woodfired oven and then start a pizza restaurant anywhere in India. But it doesn’t work like that because pizza making is an art and this Restaurant know nothing about making a pizza. Their pizza base is too soft. They put excess mozzarella cheese on the pizza. Also, the chilli olive oil has some rusty kind of smell and. Overall the Pizza doesn’t worth the money. Because they are charging ₹500 for a pizza that is not even 10 inches size. I have been to some very nice pizza places and they charge the same money for 12 inches size delicious pizzas. So, they are following all the standards except making a good pizza. I came here after reading with some reviews, but now I can say that some of them may be fake. 👉 things they can improve - Quality of Pizza very first thing - Good quality Chilli flake and oregano (because they are charging ₹500 and the quality of oregano and chilli flake is very cheap) - A good quality virgin olive oil with different flavours. Until then this is just a money making machine for the owner of this restaurant.

Nice ambiance, but the pizzas were missing flavours, service was slow and not the friendliest. I wouldn’t recommend the marinara pizza, I thought it would be a good vegan option, but barely had any flavours other than garlic. My partner ordered the Bianca Rustico and he described it as a cheese steak with onions, which is not exactly how a pizza should be. Prices are too high for what you get.

Food: The wood-fired pizza is a standout, with a rich, smoky flavor and a wide variety of topping options to suit any preference. Their menu also features a great selection of pasta and lasagna, each dish prepared with authentic flavors that make it worth every bite. Desserts: Be sure to save room for dessert, especially the panna cotta—creamy, delicate, and a perfect way to end the meal. Ambiance: The seating is comfortable, and the space is open and welcoming, creating a relaxed atmosphere ideal for both small and large groups. Service: The staff is courteous and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Location and Pricing: While the restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, locals are helpful with directions, and finding it is worth the effort. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and authenticity of the food make it worthwhile.

Really good italian food if you want a little break from indian food. Fair prices and really nice staff. The pizza is a little small.

Accidentally stumbled upon the best pizza I’ve ever had outside of Italy! We loved the pizza so much that my husband and I each polished off our own. 9/10 for pizzas overall, 10/10 for pizza in India. Truly remarkable! As an aside, the cheese plate is pretty mid so I wouldn’t recommend that, but we enjoyed the Aglio Olio e Peperoncino Pasta!

It seems the place has a lot of fake reviews, the food is not up to the mark. The place is not well lit and well ventilated, very shabby and it gets very hot, humid and suffocating.

The location is bit secluded as it is located off the main road. While even Google Maps was unable to tell the exact location. It is very simple place with an average ambience but with an epic food quality. The service is average because the waiter forgot our order and brought something else and it was difficult to convince him that we didn't order that dish. Pasta was fresh and made on order but the Pizza was AMAZING. Incredibly Delicious Pizzas I think the Best in Rishikesh. They have Gluten free and vegan options as well. I would highly recommend everyone to visit this place if you really wanna have the best authentic Italian Pizzas.

Tattv Cafe is truly a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious with good portions that left us completely satisfied. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience even more pleasant. The ambiance of the cafe is cosy and peaceful with organic decor elements that perfectly complement the natural surroundings. Sitting here with a view of lush greenery felt incredibly refreshing and calming. Cleanliness was top-notch, and it’s clear the team takes great care in maintaining a hygienic and serene environment. If you’re looking for a place that combines great food, kind service, and a soothing atmosphere connected to nature, Tattv Cafe is a must-visit!

We spent a few days in Rishikesh and had breakfast at Tattv Cafe every morning. The service is very kind and attentive, and the food and drinks are delicious as well as safe for foreign travelers. They have a wide variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Highly recommended! +great view

Loved the cafe . Food was delicious. Had an amazing dinner here with my trekmates . Chefs choice white sauce Pasta, baked broccoli with cheese,paneer shak shuka, paneer do pyaza and fresh pomegranate juice were amazing. Service was a bit slow But the quality of food was awesome. Quantity was also descent. Would definitely like to visit again when in rishikesh.

Tattv is an amazing family-run business. Hands down the best cheese omelette in Rishikesh (they use real mozzarella, not that weird liquid cheese that most cafes in the area use). It’s a little on the pricier end but the quality of the food is well worth the price. Also a fan of the Egg & Cheese Sandwich, Porridge with Bananas, Veggie Cheese Burger, Margherita Pizza, and Veg Cheese Momos! Love this spot and love the view!

We started our dinner with minestrone soup. The taste was quite bad. We left without eating anything. But I saw lot of foreigners enjoying pizza pasta burgers and coffee and colas. May be my bad that the soup didn’t taste tasty I had a lot about this cafe but turned out a bad surprise

Eating at this most popular cafe in rishikesh is worth the effort. 5 out of 5 for everything from menu to food and ambience. While you are relishing the Israeli dishes here don't miss out on their lemonana, the green colour drink, more of icecream 🍨 than drink 🍻(puting a picture for you)

A wide selection of items on the menu. Latte was fantastic. We had the set breakfast and the Italian breakfast. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the veggies were flavorful. The bread they use is sourced from the organic store downstairs. It goes amazingly well with their dishes.

This cafe is dedicated to the famous band the Beatles who used to meditate here in Rishikesh and wrote many famous songs from here only. The vibe of this cafe is blended with the charm of The Beatles, which makes it stand out from other cafes. If I talk about food, ginger lemon tea was soothing and kind of balm to the respiratory system, I tried an Italian dish 'Agieolio' which was okayish for me but as per my friend who had tried it before, it was an absolute disaster. Club sandwich was good by taste. The best thing is it's environment, you can sit inside amid The Beatles graffiti or outside in between various exotic flora and fauna. You can't miss this place if you are in Rishikesh especially if you are a music lover.

Dining at this restaurant was a truly memorable experience, made even more special by the breathtaking view of the Ganga River. The serene ambiance, with the gentle flow of the river and the soft rustling of the breeze, created an atmosphere of peace and tranquility that perfectly complemented the meal. The location is simply stunning — offering unobstructed, panoramic views of the sacred Ganges, especially beautiful during sunrise and sunset. Whether you're seated indoors or on the open-air terrace, the majestic river remains in full view, adding a unique spiritual charm to the entire dining experience. The food matched the ambiance in every way — flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. Each dish was served with care, and the courteous staff ensured that every need was attended to promptly and politely. This restaurant is not just a place to eat, but a destination to unwind, reflect, and soak in the natural beauty of one of India’s most iconic rivers. Highly recommended for anyone seeking not only great food but a soul-soothing environment.

I tried the Beatles Sandwich here, and it was absolutely delicious. The mesmerizing view of the divine Ganga from this cafe made the experience even more special. Every wall and corner of this cafe is creatively designed and beautifully painted, adding to its unique charm.

Always easy to find a seat. Staff very attentive and quick to serve. Very quick service(by local standards) for food and beverages. Very tasty meals and friendly staff. Have eaten here several times while in Rishikesh and always very consistent.

The Beatles Café in Rishikesh is a cozy, music-themed hideaway popular for its peaceful vibe and scenic views of the Ganga. Tucked away in the Tapovan area near Lakshman Jhula, it's a bit tricky to find — the narrow path and hidden entry can make first-time visitors feel like they’re on a mini-adventure. But once you’re in, the relaxed atmosphere and vintage rock décor are worth it. Despite its name, the café has no official connection to The Beatles — it’s more of a tribute in spirit, with posters and music that nod to the iconic band. The vegetarian menu is varied, with hearty pastas, burgers, and great chai. Service can be slow, but it suits the unhurried, soul-soothing energy of the place. Perfect for unwinding, journaling, or chatting over tea — especially for Beatles fans looking for a nostalgic vibe, even if it's just in name.

Rishikesh is always a vibe, and it felt amazing to visit again after a long time. This café added to the experience. Loved the atmosphere, the setting, and the overall vibe. A perfect spot to unwind, sip something nice, and just soak in the Rishikesh magic. Great time!

Beatles cafe is a beautiful cafe tucked in the streets of Tapovan. You have the amazing view of the ganges from the cafe. The cafe is named as a tribute to the band and has many pictures of the band and its members. Coming to the food- it tastes great and everything is fresh however it is very Indian-ised. What I mean by this is that the pasta here is not the usual Italian pasta but has Indian spices in it. Same goes for the burger and the fries. So for someone who is looking for an authentic taste- this might not be the best option but on the whole- the food tastes good. Its fully vegetarian and also has vegan as well as jain (no onions and garlic) options. The only drawback is that there is no air conditioning in the cafe and it can be very suffocating during summer. Also, the service is a little slow.

Soup was awesome, food was good too but poor service here.they don't give or ask for water unless you demand.If you are with friends/gf it is a good place where u can chill but if you are in hurry then kindly avoid this place as they take more than enough time for meal preparation.Need to work on their hospitality.

Good ambience and nice view. Giving 4 stars as there is no AC and it feels hot during day

Canadian tourist/yogi visiting the area. Food and tea was nice. Very comfortable place to relax. Away from the sound of cars and craziness. Access to the river right across the street. Service was a tad slow but nothing to really complain about.

Rishikesh is one of my Favorite places for a weekend getaway. I have been coming here for years and i must confess i have never eaten better food or been welcomed by better service. PS I love you cafe is absolutely amazing-food,fun,music,art and beauty it's just everything.I highly recommend everyone to have this great experience whenever in Rishikesh.I am definitely coming back for more!!!

A quite beautiful cafe only a few minutes walk from Laxmanjula bridge. The difference here is, it is in a silent, relaxing part of Laxmanula. No horns or street madness and what a stunning location , overlooking the beautiful ganga. The food is Indian based but is top quality and is the best Cafe Chai in town.The staff are very friendly and I got to know a few of them when they let me perform guitar there one evening. Lovely atmosphere and without doubt the cleanest restaurant/cafe in Rishikesh. When i walked into the bathroom I was knocked out by Hilton standard facilities. Daytime of evening, it was a highlight of my trip

We were a group of 8 people and had a great time at the cafe. Music, decor, food and staff everything was perfect. Thank you so much P.S i love you cafe for for an amazing evening. Cheers!

Great good and nice ambiance!! :)

BEAUTIFUL place! Absolutely loved the coffee, the food, the ambience and the service. Will definitely come back next time I'm here. Recommending the mocha, flat white, apple pie and the chocolate cookie!

Visited The Arches Café for breakfast. It was less crowded and has a great view right next to Laxman Jhula (currently under renovation). Once it reopens, this café will be a perfect viewpoint for the bridge and the Ganga. Tried the grilled sandwich and croissant, both were average, but the Americano and cold coffee were good. Worth visiting for decent food and the beautiful river view.

I had an amazing time at Arches Cafe. I spent the whole morning there reading, and the environment was quiet and relaxing. I tried a cookie, pancakes, and coffee — everything was absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable as well; Yogesh Goud took care of me the whole time and was always kind and attentive. If you’re in Rishikesh, I highly recommend this café!

This place near Lakshman Jhula had a different vibe altogether. Food is good and the ambiance is very nice. View of Lakshman jhula is an add on for your experience. The calm going Ganga river beside this place is just amazing.

Arches is a lovely café with a beautiful view of the Ganga. The staff are really welcoming and helpful. Raul was kind enough to recommend some dishes - the Punjabi Chole was really tasty and perfectly spiced as per my taste (I asked for medium spice). The breakfast pancakes are tasty.

Loved the place. Loved the food. Loved the ambience. Tried the Indulgence bowl and BBQ Potato Jackets. Really good !!! Even the beverages are unique and taste good! Staff is very helpful and polite. Clean and hygeinic place

Only recent trip to Rishikesh I visited The arches by Salvus. On day one I went at 10:30pm but they had closed the last order. The vibe and look from outside is beautiful. Then on the second day I went for lunch as I had to head back after that. The vibe and environment in the day is not that pleasing. In the scorching heat the place is hot, AC don't work that well. But the food and the presentation is good. I had ordered mezze platter, hakka noodles and stuffed tandoori paneer. Mezze Platter - 5/5 Hakka noodles - 3/5 Stuffed Paneer - 3/5 My sister ordered brownie shake and rated 4/5 I ordered coconut cooler with mint - 5/5 It is a beautiful place and I would love to visit in the evening next time. One con is the service - you will have to wait for 35-45 min

For an entire week, we happily came for delicious breakfasts at Ira's Kitchen and Tearoom. This truly is the best place in Rishikesh to enjoy a tasty meal and relax in a beautiful garden, shaded by palms and bamboos. There's a wonderful, positive energy and pleasant atmosphere at Ira's Kitchen. The staff are incredibly kind and always ensure customer satisfaction. You can truly feel like you're in a peaceful oasis, far from the city's hustle and bustle. It's the perfect spot for relaxation and a delicious meal!

This place is absolutely adorable—a peaceful green haven right in the heart of Tapovan. It has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The owner is kind and welcoming. The café is located about 100 meters uphill, off the main road and serves great food. I highly recommend it for breakfast. It tends to get crowded on Sundays, so you might have to wait a little for your order. Ira's Kitchen and Tearoom will be closed on wednesdays. While the prices aren't the cheapest, they are fair considering the portion sizes, location, and laid-back vibe of the place. A must visit for a healthy and hearty meal.

Beautiful food & beautiful atmosphere 🪷🤍🌿 very tasty food, we had a smoothie bowl and the coconut muselli bowl. The portion sizes are very good very filling. The staff are so friendly and kind we will definitely be back again thank you 🙏🏽

Just loved the place. Loved the food they served. I had a ragi stuffed chilla and pumpkin soup. Both were delicious. They had open mic live music which was beautiful. The host is gracious and lovely too. I wanted to have my last meal in Tapovan at Ira's but unfortunately it's closed on Wednesdays.

Loved the Food, Vibe and Ambience. Nice Outdoor cafe located 50 Mtrs. Inside the main road. Great food served promptly. I definitely recommend it for breakfasts. We ordered a crunchy Muesli bowl and Stuffed Besan Chilla, and both were outstanding. I never had a better Chilla and the chutney served was the star. The ingredients used are definitely high quality and very fresh. Service is quick and on point.

Our favourite cafe in Rishikesh! The food is delicious and really generous serving sizes. Customer service is great too - the staff and owner are super friendly! Have been multiple times and will definitely be back

This is a beautiful, green, peaceful place If i brag about the food You might not believe it But it’s one of most tastiest meals i ever had I was there in Rishikesh for a month We never skipped a meal at ira’s Unless you get late because it closes by evening

Had dinner at “Cafe Karma” recently, and it’s such a lovely little spot. The place has a charming, rustic feel with old-school artifacts and simple decor that make it super cozy. Surrounded by greenery and the soothing sound of a water stream, it’s the kind of place where you can really unwind—great for a peaceful dinner or just some quality time. One of the best parts? They welcomed my “fur baby” with open arms and even treated him kindly—major brownie points for being pet-friendly! The staff were polite, friendly, and quick to respond, which definitely added to the overall good vibe. We ordered the dal and handi paneer. The food was alright—not amazing, but decent enough. Given the chill atmosphere and reasonable prices, I didn’t mind. If you're after a calm, welcoming place with great vibes (and a spot your pet will love too), Cafe Karma is definitely worth checking out. Rating: 4/5

I have made this cafe a regular spot that I come to while I’ve been living in Rishikesh. Their staff is very friendly and the food is good quality and very well priced. They have a lovely outdoor seating area where it is quiet despite the cafe being right off the main road. Highly recommend!

You won’t find anywhere like this place on the high street. The atmosphere at cafe karma is very peaceful, and everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious too! I recommend it strongly! We also had morning yoga classes on the roof and a deeply relaxing massage

Food was decent. We ordered : 1. Masala omlette: good 2. Mushroom toast : very good 3. Egg paratha: okay not so great. 4. Coffee and tea ,: decent Ambience is awesome. Installations are great.

I stopped in here for brunch and so glad I did. Super friendly staff, the parathas were so good (huge portions too). Found the old tv made into a fish tank really cool

Giving a detail review: The cafe has antique objects and old seats. They've used all the old objects in a smart way to decorate the restaurant. 1. Staff are polite and friendly. 2. Food was hot and served great. 3. We had ordered starters including soups and noodles. The quality and the taste was good 4. May be due to covid the place was not maintained well. 5. Honey chilly potato is a must try. 6. Price is okay.

Cafe Karma has a love atmosphere and an extremely kind staff. My friends and I regularly came to this cafe during our month in Rishikesh. I tried other places but never found a place as welcoming and relaxing. The food was excellent and they very kindly helped us arrange a taxi on our last day when we ran into an issue with our Uber. We are very grateful for their hospitality.

good food. good ambience. good service. veg restaurant with delicious dishes

Unfortunately I couldn't eat therefore I am going to be talking about the customer experience and not the food. The place was empty, just a couple of people talking and someone who looked like a waiter hanging clueless around. After 5 minutes I got approached by the waiter and offered a menu. I study the menu, nothing remarkably weird or outstanding either, I order. At that point the waiter goes weird and asks one of the two people (westerners) chatting amicably at a table to take the order - I am puzzled to say the least - upon placing the order this person says that what I want is not available but I should try something else instead - to which i reply that I know what she's offering but it's not what I want due to the presence of spices my guts are not happy about - the person insists I should try and that the recipe can be modified. I say no as I really wanted to eat chickpeas. Now, I am not questioning the quality of the food here which I really hope is outstanding but the whole procedure made me feel awkward, out of place and that rather than been a customer I was intruding their peacefulness. If so I am sorry, I thought that It was a restaurant and that by 1.30 pm I could just have a normal meal and go.

For 16.10.2021 Breakfast : Parathas Taste : Yummy with additional butter. Quality: Good Dinner : Thali Taste: Not so tasty Quality: Ok Have to asked so many times for onion , chilly, Daal. Had to wait 25 mins for dinner. Only one person was managing things. It was more like requesting food from them so many times despite paying fully. Management need to review their manpower. Need more hygienic conditions as well.

Overall good experience. I came here twice. The first time I got the veg. Manchurian and naan. The Manchurian was very good and portion was great for the price.The naan was mediocre and that is putting it nicely. I went back a second time for a proper dinner and got the malai kofta which was amazing as well as two types of roti which were also good. I would recommend this place for the Indian staples, with the exception of the naan. The lemon, honey & ginger tea is also very good.

Vibrant flavors, colorful dishes. I really enjoyed their masala tea

The publicity of the place is "high speed WiFi" never is true, the food some times is good, sometimes is bad. The Russian women that take care of the place is just worried about the Russians clients, any others nationalities doesn't care for her. It's really sad because is a good opportunity to have an amazing place for yogi people, but they don't care .

This lovely cafe is definitely worth a visit during your stay in Rishikesh. The atmosphere is super relaxed and the food is really yummy. My favorites are the special Khichadi and the Vegetable Burger. Everything else on the menu is great as well. I've been here almost every day during my time in Rishikesh because it also has the best Internet in town and is great if you need to get some work done. :)

Lemon Tree in Rishikesh is a great place to stay. The food tastes amazing, and the private pool is a big plus there’s no crowd and since it’s covered you can enjoy it even during the day You don’t need to carry a swimming costume and there are no strict formalities The gym area is also really nice and the buffet is excellent I absolutely loved the food However, one concern is that they don’t inform guests when the housekeeping staff will enter the room. We had gone to the pool and during that time the staff came in to clean without any prior notice Since we weren’t aware we hadn’t locked away our expensive belongings

Guest house for civil servants also. High class and luxurious. Great view. Excellent service by every hotel staff whether it is for car parking or helping people to carry their luggage or anything.

It was great experience. Beautiful location ⛰️❤️. Service was very great👍 Specially thanks to Ms. Sapna, Mr.Suraj and Mr,Satyam for the memorable stay ❤️🙌 Front office staff was very nice and kind. Thanks Mr, Sachin for the smooth check in and check out..He is welcoming always with smile.👍 KEEP IT UP TO ALL

Our recent stay at Lemon Tree Hotel, Rishikesh was disappointing. To begin with the positives – the rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The dinner and breakfast were truly delightful in terms of taste and quality. However, that’s where the good experience ended. Hospitality was nearly non-existent. Despite informing them that we were travelling with two small kids, they allotted us the last room on the top floor, making it extremely inconvenient to move around. On arrival, we were simply handed over the keys at the reception with no assistance whatsoever – a first for us in a hotel of this category. Our luggage was delayed by over 30 minutes, adding to the frustration. The location is also a letdown – situated in one of the most congested and chaotic areas of Rishikesh with no scenic view to speak of. The biggest disappointment came in the form of staff behavior. We arrived 15 minutes late for the complimentary evening high tea and despite polite requests, the restaurant manager rudely denied even a cup of tea. The tone and attitude were unprofessional and completely lacking in basic courtesy. Additionally, there were no activities or play area for kids, which made the stay rather dull and inconvenient for families. To sum up, Lemon Tree Rishikesh fails to deliver on hospitality and guest comfort, and falls far short of expectations when compared with nearby competitors like Aloha on the Ganges. Would not recommend for families or those expecting a warm, relaxing experience.

The experience here was fantastic. Be it food, hospitality or room service were addressed promptly. The staff were very friendly, special to mention Mr Satyam Rawat was very polite and did his job with utmost satisfaction. And restaurant staff were quite prompt at service. Will definitely visit here back.

We had booked a one night stay at the lemon tree, Rishikesh. Once there we loved the location being surrounded by lush green mountains, baskin robins, Burger king, Barista, Dominoes right next to the hotel, peaceful environment, comfortable spacious room with great view, courteous and helpful staff, sumptous buffet spread, compelled us to extend our stay to 3 nights and 4 days! Good part is its very approachable, on the main road. Rooftop pool, gym and spa were an added bonus. Open bar and sitting area on terrace is equally good. We enjoyed our rainy evenings on the terrace. Their restaurant citrus is a great place to have amazing food. We had our breakfast, evening high tea and dinner there. The staff went out of their way to cater to our needs, taking feed back about the food every day to give great service. All in all a great value for money.

Hotel is good as per other reviews. Location, food everything was superb. Room services are the best and on time, special thanks to Mr. satyam Rawat for the kind response and service. Overall it was a good stay for holidays when one just want to relax and chill.

This places easily serves the best coffee in Rishikesh. We went there everyday for coffee and food, but explored other cafes for food as well. The food here is delicious and healthy, the ambience is welcoming, there is a small selection of books outside to read from. The space indoors is small so on a hot day make sure to get there before peak hours to find the higher tables to sit on.

A café unlike any other I've seen. Located in a cul-de-sac in a quiet part of town, it's in a large, lush garden filled with trees, bushes and lawns. There's a small, indoor dining space, but few people prefer that. The vast majority sprawl on tables across the garden in a variety of different seating. The menu is vast and eclectic, strong on vegan preferences but also serves eggs and omelettes. The americano I ordered was really good coffee. The vegan porridge bowl I'd for breakfast was good enough for two. The helpings are really large. The food is at good value-for-money prices. It's a great place to linger from breakfast to dinner.

My favorite café in India! This place became my little sanctuary. It’s beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature — with butterflies, monkeys, and stunning trees all around. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the café is tucked away from the noise of the city, which makes it the perfect spot to relax or recharge. I’ve been in Rishikesh for a month and came here every single day — sometimes even twice a day 🙈🙉🙊 It’s that special. I truly recommend this place. My favorite things to order: • Almond latte with 2 shots (big mug!) • Adaptogenic smoothie • Golden milk with almond milk • Spinach & mushroom pancake • The chocolate & raspberry cake • The carrot cake (so good!) Thank you for creating such a nourishing space — full of good food, good energy, and a lot of heart. * special mention to Viplav for his smile and respectful approach, he is one of the more beautiful people that I’ve met in India. Namaste 🙏 I will be back! With love, Sofía.

Very good cofee with nice atmosphere. I went there twice and this was very tasty. My favorite was the avocado toast and the eggs with bread

The best coffee for my taste, perfect cappuccino. Tiramisu is incredible, creamy and not too sweet. The food is delicious. They cook very quickly. The service is great. I recommend visiting this place.

One of my favourites cafes in Rishikesh! Staff was always super nice and helpful. I loooooved their coffee and kombucha. And I couldn’t go to secret garden cafe without ordering banana-papaya smoothie bowl (SO GOOD!). Definitely recommend!

Really calm atmosphere, cute looking cafe and delicious food. We ordered their banana shake, shakshuka, potato spinach cutlet and pancakes! Alll of food was amazing. Loved it

Three of us - from Bangalore and Delhi - went on a Saturday evening for dinner. We sat in the inner hut. The ambience is nice with a few musical instruments for us to try our hands on. We ordered a Bruschetta, chilly paneer and a tofu sizzler. Accompanied by a lemon ice tea and fresh lime soda. All of these were great and are recommended. The staff was prompt and helpful. Overall, a great experience.

This cafe serves the best food I have had till now. I tried thupka for the first time and I am completely in love with it. Even ppl seated next to me ordered the same looking mine. Also, the staff there is very polite and professional.

Nice interior. Tasty food. Clean and hygiene. Located in the heart of the market near Lachman jhoola. Varieties of cuisines from all over the world are in the menue card. We ordered falafel. Something new.

This is located near Laxman Jhula. I had significant experience in this cafe. I went there by looking into the reviews. Beautiful cottage/cafe to have breakfast and lunch, try food from all over the world. I tried Italian and German breakfast. They do very healthy service. I loved this cafe while staying in Rishikesh.

I absolute love eating here. Everything they cook is deliciously fresh and oh so yummy! As much as I love Indian food, it’s great to have a break every now and then - and this place is just perfect. Best hummus and falafel ever, washed down with freshly squeezed carrot, apple and ginger juice. Fabulous.

Visited this place on my visit to Laxman Jhula. The atmosphere was chill and the staff was friendly too.We ordered Burger, Pizza and Cold Coffee. Burger was amazing, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. The pizza was delivered piping hot but did not serve upto our expectations. The cheese released all its oil leaving the pizza extremely dry and unpleasant to eat. Coffee was decent.

If you are looking for a good vegan or vegetarian sizzler or lasagna in Rishikesh - the buck stops here. Pros: Brilliant Taste, Freshly cook food, Excellent Service, Remains open till 11 pm, authentic, value for money, eco-friendly simple ambiance (made of bamboo), large serving (any dish is suitable for two people), Parking area right across the road. They also serve host of Israeli and Russian food too. Cons: No credit card acceptance, payment only via Google Pay or cash #sizzlersinrishikesh

Loved the food and the atmosphere here. It was not crowded and the service was good, the waiters attended us with great interest and made sure to fulfil all requests. The price is average and the place is clean and hygienic. It serves only veg. There were plenty of thali options of different indian regions and cuisine

I have visited this restaurant last year with family my experience was good so this year I visited rishikesh with my friends I suggested that they should definitely go there but my decision of going there again was wrong we waited almost 1 hour for a cup of tea and then they serve the tea with food. They charged 60 rs for a water bottle. Food was average but I think they should work on their service when I visited last year their one of employee(I don't remember his name)was very polite towards customer but he was not there this year so my last year experience was good only because of that employee not because of the restaurant.

The experience was quite disappointing. The manu was extremely unclean — it was sticky, covered in fingerprints, and so dirty that it felt unhygienic to even touch. To make matters worse, there was a cockroach in the handwashing area, which is located right next to the cocktail section. The staff was rude and failed to handle the situation in a respectful or professional manner. I expected better service and cleanliness. On a positive note, the food itself was good

Best restaurant for food lovers. We tried there Uttapam, Gobhi Tikka, dal tadka, panchmel Dal Roti Mix veg. Dal tadka was awesome, must try for evyone If you are going for main course. Also there are sockets also which you can use to charge your phone while eating. A beautiful ambience is mood refresher.

I was surprise to see how the staff was managing the show. The supporting kitchens are street food vendors. Dosa darling and Pizza Italiana saved us and others from hunger.

Worst experience ever.. I visited here 3 days before. Since we are on way to Kanatal, thought to have some safe veg option. So i ordered south indian thali meals. Dear south indian friends, never order this. They actually gave north indian dishes and curries in the name of south thali. Not even a single curry had 10 percentage taste of south indian food. Example they gave bindi masala, bengan fry etc. They gave dal curry and said its sambar, and it was already rotten. I informed attended he neither denied it tasted bad. Thry are real cheaters....and gave 100rs discount for feeding the rotten food.😬 Note: Fromm that evening onwards me and wife had loose motion lasting for 2 days to recover. Thanks to the hotel for cancelling our tour🙏. We just cancelld trip due to ths and returned to home.

Has an extensive menu and we loved all the foods we had.

Good family restaurant with great ambiance Plays light music on both floors Food quality is good and drinks choices are available in all segments Bit expensive but value for money Also always from main road but walkable

Food was really delicious. We ordered pizza, dal makhni,butter roti n veg biryani Everything was tasty and the review is incomplete without mentioning Deb ji, he was very warm.

Lovely place with a really good ambiance. If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy beer and great food, this is definitely the place to be! Their grilled fish and chips were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. One thing to note — the road leading to the restaurant is quite narrow, so be careful if you’re driving your own car, as you might get stuck with oncoming traffic. I’d recommend taking a two-wheeler when visiting for a smoother experience. Overall, a great hangout spot for good vibes, food, and drinks!

Awesome food all thing good with music. Staff is too good. Service person Dev is great Host

Such nice place, good music, good vibes. Food it's delicious and staff very friendly.

My experience was superb only food was bit delay but everything was perfect

Wonderful experience every time I visit Pink Cafe. Great food, drinks and beers. Awesome staff that always make me feel welcome. Shout out to my man Arjun Ji for always looking after me 🙏🏻

I visited OM Shanti Shanti Café after reading great things, and it truly lived up to the name, It’s a peaceful gem in the heart of Rishikesh! I originally stopped by for a drink and was warmly welcomed with kind smiles and great energy. To my surprise, the café now offers free morning meditation and yoga sessions for customers, a beautiful touch that adds to the whole experience. The menu is extensive and full of delicious options, so whether you’re after healthy eats or a refreshing drink, they’ve got you covered, however, what really sets this place apart is the absolutely breathtaking view of the Ganga River. I found myself lounging on their comfy pillows, sipping a cold drink, and just soaking in the peaceful vibes. It’s the perfect spot to unwind. Everyone at the café made me feel genuinely welcomed and valued, and the relaxed, soulful atmosphere makes it a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Note that the entrance isn’t immediately obvious, as it’s tucked behind a shop. But once you’re nearby, just ask around and locals will happily point you in the right direction. A must-visit spot in Rishikesh for good food, good vibes, and soul-soothing views.

A Spiritual Hideaway on the Banks of Maa Ganga! If you’re visiting Rishikesh and searching for a place that brings together peace, good food, divine energy, and breathtaking view of maa ganga — look no further than Cafe Om Shanti Shanti. The view here is absolutely breathtaking – the mighty river flows right beside you, offering a sense of calm that’s hard to describe in words. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual. At the heart of the space stands a beautiful idol of Lord Shiva, radiating peace and grounding energy that fills the entire cafe. Whether you’re there to meditate, read, or simply take a break from the world, this place wraps you in tranquility. The food is wholesome and delicious, made with love and served with warmth. The host (Sanju Ji) is incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel at home instantly. On weekends, the live kirtan fills the air with divine melodies that stir the heart and uplift the spirit. If you’re in Rishikesh and seeking peace, beauty, and good vibes, Cafe Om Shanti Shanti is an absolute must-visit. Come for the view, stay for the energy.

What a great view, really had a good time, the food was the not the best I had in rishikesh but the service and attention from Atul were priceless. The music, the atmosphere, the looks and the view from the place to the Ganges is something everyone should experience in rishikesh! Thank you 🙏🏽

“A Hidden Gem by the River” If you’re in Rishikesh, Om Shanti Cafe is a must-visit! This place is a perfect blend of a serene ambiance, stunning views of the Ganga, and delicious food. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the laid-back atmosphere. I tried their Avocado 🥑 Smoothie and it was absolutely delightful. The menu has a good variety of options, from healthy smoothies to foods like pastas and pizzas. The Vegetable Sandwich 🥪 was a highlight for me—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The best part? The riverside view! Whether you’re meditating on the sound of the flowing Ganga or simply enjoying the sunset, this cafe gives an experience that’s both rejuvenating and soulful. Great spot to unwind, work on your laptop, or just chill with a book. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Rishikesh—an absolute gem for foodies and travelers alike!

Had a really nice brunch early lunch here, quiet, good atmosphere. All the food was great, highly recommend the banana Nutella pancakes, smoothie bowl, hummus, Avacado sandwich! Very relaxed would recommend and come again. It was a little warm but when the table with the fan come up we were offered it straight away. Made to feel comfortable

Good location but super sad food. I ordered Dal and Rice - Quality and Quantity both super bad. Eventually ordered Club sandwich - How can someone make super bad sandwich? They served us Mayo sandwich.. Not recommended.

Best pancakes ever 💜 also the vibe abs feel of the cafe is too good. Silent peaceful and view the overlooking Ganga Maa is just indescribable. Amazing energy and vibe.

Bhumi Café in Rishikesh is an absolute gem with a serene, laid-back vibe. The smoothie bowl was refreshing, the breakfast combo was delightful (the hummus was exceptionally good), and the carrot cake made for a perfect indulgence. The highlight, though, was their adorable dog Vodka, who adds so much warmth to the place.

Amazing Experience – Delicious Food & Great Vibes! I had such a great time at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was fun, vibrant, and really well-designed – it’s the kind of place you want to stay and enjoy for hours. On top of that, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Whether you’re going out with friends or on a date, this spot is perfect. Highly recommended!

I have been to this place many times i love the way they serve specially their bowls amazing presentation and taste has an open area as well i 100 percent recommend

Nice place, big yard and a lot of place inside. Well decorated. Young people, mostly tourists. Mix of good westetn and indian food. Great service. Great for all day light meals and hanging out.

The best smiles will attend you in this place besides they serve delicious, healthy and at very good prices , I have come every day since I arrived in Rishikesh and I do not get tired , really is highly recommended , ask for KK ( Keke ) the manager will be your new friend !!! !!!

Very good food, amazing menu and very kind staff. Good place to work online. Vegan and gluten free options

Love the vibe of this place! The staff is super friendly and they made the BEST mocha I’ve had on this trip so far (I’ve had a lot) ;). It’s full of warm and calming energy. I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Thanks you to the team of Sky deck restaurant. We went to Rishikesh for our daughter’s first bday. We didn’t know about the place much. I get to know about this place from google. I requested them for a small set up for the bday. Mohhit, the manager of the restaurant went above and beyond to meet our expectations. I requested him to help me with nay contact of customised cake. He did a small setup of us and even arranged the cake as well. Thank you Mohit and team for everything.

Had a wonderful experience at SKY DECK Restaurant! The rooftop view was stunning,the food was delicious,and the vibe was just perfect. Special thanks to Sandeep Rawat for his excellent service - attentive,polite,and super helpful. Highly recommend visiting for a relaxing and memorable evening.

Got opportunity to stay at this place for 2 nights , courteous staff good food Quality , ordered all veg food and taste was super delicious . Rooms are spacious neat and clean . Looks like this hotel is recently build or had an upgrade in interior Breakfast buffet was missing although same was managed by the staff well . The hotel is close to the Triveni ghat which is an add on in speciality

One of the good options for lunch in Rishikesh.

Sky deck restaurant is very welcoming . Amazing food and service. The Staff are extremely knowledgeable , friendly and helpful , amazing experience and honestly I would like to come here again and again

I just loved their Ambiance and food. Good service 👌🏻the nature of the staff is very nice☺️

Very curious and polite staff. Very helpful in suggesting dishes. Ambience and veiw is very good.

Best coffee you will find in rishikesh!!! For the people who like good real espresso coffee - that’s the place for you!!! For lactose free people you can find different options for milk :) Cakes are amazing! my recommendation is the carrot cake with the glaze on top, the almond /nuts chocolate and the banana cocoa cake 🙏🏽 the owner of Moktan café is the most nice & gentle. serving you with love and smile 🕉️

I will go again in my next visit too ☺️.. Perfect coffee, green tea, honey lemon ginger tea. I went there two days in row and packed bakery items for home too 😄 The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming ☺️. You can sit and meet new people over coffee ☕. Must try bakery items too. Thank you the complete team for giving me such an awesome experience 😊.

What should I say, One fine-day after almost 2 weeks since my Rishikesh Trip. I was still travelling in Goa and there is one good cafe in South Goa named CanTine and I bought Banana bread in the morning. And the bread was so slaggy and wet. I was not convinced and cannot able to forget how good the “Chocolate Banana cake” I had and it reminds this shop!! That much Good this shop is :) Wonderful and Should be known to all!! Hidden gem 💎

Being French, I can tell you Moktan is the best place to have homemade bakeries in Tapovan 😋🤤. I have been dreaming about Bagsu and other cakes for long time before coming back a second time in Rishikesh 🧡 Thank you for the warm and community atmosphere. Staff is sweet and smiley 😊

Best place for coffee and pastries. Must try the coconut bounty, carrot ginger cup, bagsu (Nepalese dessert) and everything else! Clean place, friendly owners and workers. Highly recommended

Really good apple strudel and coffee! Place is small but super cute and staff is very nice! Recommend 😍

Best masala chai and cookies in the town. Hospital crew, good food, they have they own bakery, always fresh food, masala is spicy and i loved it. Highly recommend!

Serves Both Veg And Non Veg Dishes. Serves One Of The Best Fried Fish And Butter Chicken.

Located near Natraj Chowk on Dehradun Road, Tip Top Restaurant is a longstanding establishment in Rishikesh, serving food since 1962. My recent visit to this eatery, now situated in Muni Ki Reti, Dhalwala, left me with mixed impressions, but it’s a spot worth considering for non-vegetarian food in a city where such options are scarce. The ambiance is modest, with a no-frills setup typical of traditional Indian restaurants. The interior could use a refresh, as the decor feels dated, and cleanliness seemed inconsistent—tables were wiped, but the floor and corners looked neglected. The staff, however, was courteous and attentive, promptly taking orders and checking in during the meal. Tip Top’s menu is a draw for non-veg lovers, offering dishes like fish curry, chicken rara, and tandoori items, which are rare in Rishikesh due to its spiritual vibe. I ordered the fish curry with butter naan, and my friend tried the chicken kadhai. The fish curry was a highlight—spicy, tangy, and flavorful, with tender fish that paired well with the soft naan. However, the chicken kadhai was underwhelming, with an overly oily gravy and a lack of depth in spices. Portions were generous, and the pricing felt reasonable, with our meal costing around ₹600 for two. Service was quick, with food arriving within 15 minutes, but hygiene raised concerns. The plates were clean, yet the overall upkeep of the place made me question kitchen standards. Another downside was the pricing for some items, which felt steep for the quality—like the ₹80 plain naan. For non-vegetarians visiting Rishikesh, Tip Top is a decent pick, especially for fish dishes, but don’t expect a fine-dining experience. If you’re craving spicy, hearty non-veg food, it’s worth a stop—just ask for milder flavors if spice isn’t your thing. With some improvements in cleanliness and consistency, Tip Top could truly shine. I’d rate it 3.5 out of 5, a practical choice in a veggie-dominated town.

Best non-veg local restaurant, delicious, fast and affordable

My last experience was bad. Naan and Laccha Paratha both were burnt. The taste was ok. Tip Top is not the same as before.

Very very Bad experience, First I order half fish , taste like yaaak no taste Nothing, Second i order half chicken, that is also very very bad, no taste, Very very bad experience mine. No cleanliness, no handwash there, Tea is like dirty water, how can i pay full money. Service boy also not good. I never ever come here again. Thaank you very much

This is a family restaurant, all types of veg and non veg biryani and all types of products are available here Any customer who goes there once will want to go there again and again. I liked this hotel very much.You must visit once, for more information you can search Tip Top Restaurant

Good food. And they serve good quantity n quality... Service was also good

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation. It’s the cutest rooftop cafe with great river side view. The hot chocolate drink is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

Amazing cafe with breathtaking view of river ganga n laxman jhula.. The place has rooftop seating n has ganga as backdrop. Nice chilled out cafe in midst of the market . 10 min walk from laxman jhula.. I tried 3-4 items naming Kashmiri pulao , pizza n hawaii salad.. Coming to drinks we enjoyed cold coffee n peach ice tea.. Overall a must visit cafe in rishikesh.. Cheers to the staff n team of Good times. Follow on insta - Indian.travel.blogger

There is a pleasant and calm indoor seating area and also a beautiful outdoor seating area with a perfect view of the river. As soon as we arrived, we felt that the place was well-kept and that there was care taken about the cleanliness of both the seating environment and the food. Very varied food, each dish more tempting than the other. Healthy and tasty at affordable prices. We loved it and will be back!

This place is amazing! I love the atmosphere and vibe here! The food and coffee is great! I also like the fact that the have a little hearted seating area for getting warmed up. Such a cozy little place! Yogi was great and helped me to find the perfect dinner dish! He was also always available when I needed anything. Very great staff! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is one of the most satisfying cafe in Rishikesh. The vibe, food, view, hospitality, everything is on point. Sat here for around 3 hours on a sunny day. Visitors can try out the Chinese cuisine from the menu. Lemon Ice tea has to be my favourite from this cafe.

Everything about this place was bang on and superb, much better than the over hyped Little buddha cafe, to start with the delicious mix sauce pasta and cold coffee along with the aerial view of the captivating ganga river.I would highly recommend this place.

Loved the food, view and hospitality here. Tried their oreo berry crush, their good times pizza and freshly squeezed orange juice. Loved everything about this place. Just try in Rishikesh.

I absolutely love this place. All foods are made very freshly and the owner and his friend are super warm and welcoming 🫶

We enjoyed our stays here a lot. The food is freshly made by the two very nice guys working at this place. You feel warmly welcomed in this place and the food is somewhat special in comparison to other places. Very clean and healthy food

I’ve been coming to this café for the past month while doing a yoga course, and I absolutely love it!! The vibe is so calm and peaceful, the owners are wonderfully welcoming and kind, and the food is healthy and really delicious. It’s a super comfortable spot to relax. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely, cozy cafe.

I love this place. Staff work so hard I felt I was being cooked for in my own home. Food is excellent with really good energy. I felt so well after their ginger shots. Thank you

Amazing food! Fresh, super tasty, lots of healthy and vegan options, most nice owner and staff, chill and home vibe atmosphere, just in the heart of Tapovan. Highly recommended 💗

It opens early,it has good price, excellent quality and very good service. We enjoy coming back 🥰🙏

This was my go to place during my month in Rishikesh. By far, one of the most comfortable, friendly and quality places in the area. Everything on the menu is delicious, the gentlemen that work there are fantastic, and you might even get to pet a cow while you’re there🐮 Definitely go here!

I recently visited this place, and the Italian food was absolutely delicious! The pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly—The pizza had a thin, crispy crust with fresh mozzarella and basil. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly. A great spot for anyone who loves authentic Italian food!

Good food. We were looking for a place to have dinner with a terrace view and it came out good. Good food and great staff support. We had Pasta, Lung fung soup, hara bhara kebabs, special green pizza for dinner and for drinks we tried virgin mojito. Food was top notch. Very nicely presented. Only problem I felt was service. It took them 50 minutes to cook the fire wood pizza. So cutting off 1 star ⭐ for it.

This restaurant offers a cool and great environment with rooftop dining option. One of the waiter was very friendly and helpful in suggesting us green special platter that allows us to taste a variety of the dishes. Ordered tandoori platter, paneer butter masala and naan. The green special platter consists of tandoori aloo, paneer tikka, tandoori soya chaat, tandoori mushroom and veg kebab. Enjoyed most of all the dishes except for soya chaat. The paneer butter masala was flavourful, slightly sweet and creamy. Their masala chai was very good.

Very clean and warm atmosphere... The food was amazing and the quantity as well ... All the staff very nice and welcoming definitely a place to visit and enjoy the atmosphere and view.

I order the lasagna and it was amazing, Mahesh Chandra gave to me the best service, so friendly and I felt so welcomed! I highly recommend this place !!

Came with my family of 4. Only two other tables were occupied. My first dish (pizza) came after 50 mins of placing the order, this too after repeatedly asking for the food. And the wait was NOT worth it. Second dish (pita with hummus) came 10 mins after the pizza. Again average. For the last dish I had to ask them to cancel it as it was another 15 mins after I had finished pita. They then got it after 5 mins, the last dish too was below average. I seriously question their current rating on google. Even if this was a one off bad night for them in the service domain, the food hasn’t convinced me to risk it all again to come back. I wish them all the best and hope others don’t have to face what I did today.

Very good ambience. The food is amazing, must try wood fired pizza and hydrabadi biryani. The restaurant is understaffed with only 2 person working in the morning especially so even a simple item as honey ginger lemon tea takes a lot of time to come.

I order paneer butter masala very less portion really over price I paid 179 rupees I called to delivery boy he said to ki restaurant ko call kro and restaurant owner they not received my call such bullshit thing sameness swigging and restaurant owner

Well Food Quality Decreased After Covid. The only best thing here is price which is quite affordable & staff is good but the taste isn’t what it was like before.

The food was very bad and use fake non veg or frozen food.I got loose motion from 2 days

I am buy butter chicken from there test good but not different

Basic interior. Did a breakfast here. Parathas, eggs to order. Service could have been more faster. Over all good place for casual eating while going or coming back from Jolly Grant Airport

Costly and not worthy according to the price ,moreover if you order for home ,they don't even pack the food properly they give the food in plastic bags not the boxes ,I ordered butter chicken that cost around 300 for boneless 6 pieces ,small pieces ,but the gravy taste was not good

Restrorent situated at rishikesh dehradun way, serve you veg as well as non veg food, thalis are available but no fast food or desert is mentioned. Food is so so kind of, but dal makhani taste delicious.& Restroom is also available here.

The location is perfect, space is quite big with multiple seating options. But it has more downsides to it. The service is very poor, the seating is randomly managed, people sitting randomly everywhere. No management at all, lot of mosquitos and spider webs This is a new place which is still under construction, it would turn out to be a good place once finished.

Amazing cafe with best views on the bank of holy Ganga river, 1 minute walk from Triyambakeshwar temple. We went for a quick halt. Ordered mocktails, noodles and fries. It was good. A little expensive on the pocket but that's justified for the spot. Overall very nice.

The best cafe I have ever been into . Amazing ambience, the view was spectacular, very humble and well mannered staffs . I had a lot of dishes and all of them were delicious , go spend an evening with your loved ones and enjoy the visit.

The pizza was lovely and the view was to die for.

One of the best food had here , the dishes and the varieties of food feels its vibe. Great hospitality, and dev was best at his creative in dishes decor.

I loved this cafe. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The coffee was great and food very nice they even made a special drink for me. I will definitely come again."

Atrocious food! The noodles and bread were stale. Halfway through the meal, a monkey came and took half of my sandwich. Good riddance.

The place is quite shabby and very low on cleanliness. The bench for sitting has torn cloth. Seats for only 5-6 people. Bhatura had raw dough and not at all crisp, rice was also undercooked. Staff is curt.

Excellent job, delicious food service was too good ,Nice location. easy to find this restaurant. Walking distance Triveni Ghat and Rishikesh Main market.i want visit to again this place. Thanks Mr . Rakesh for your kind behavior.......

The taste I have never before I hv local people for recommendations for quality food, than I find this restaurant best food on cheap cost hygiene and hospitality was also good.

World's best Rajma Chaawal & and Tha most delicious yours favourite Chholy Bature... This is the most beautiful and ousum Restaurant that provide very wom ...of its item... Plz visit once ...you will become a dy heart fans of its taste....

Very spicy food

I was went rishikesh past year and got thus restaurant of real indian taste of rajma chawal, and kadhi chawal, Easy to find location its on triveni ghat chowk Must visit place for super quality of food

I was went Rishikesh past year with my family I got this Shir Ramji Resturant on the main location of Triveni ghat chowk , perfact taste hygiene, nominal cost,loved it

Might deserve 2 but giving 1 to balance the overall rating of the cafe. Since I went there after seeing the ratings only. Tried Burgers, Shakes and chilly potato and all of those were pretty meh. I asked them to reheat the burger but even then, it wasn't warm enough for cheese slice to melt. Not recommended.

Quantity and quality of food is not upto bar, price is like the cafe is 5 star and the quantity is very little, for example i ordered Manchurian for 160 rs. And i got just 7 Manchurian, which cost almost 23 rs. Per Manchurian, i tried normal restaurant or even 3 star hotel, who gives better quantity.. Very disappointed n will never visit this cafe again...

The food was good. Beverages were average. About the place- the open area is still better, the inside room was smelly. No print menu is a good initiative to save paper. But the menu available as PDF is not at all well curated. They should atleast have a properly designed menu for digital use. There are way more pictures and stories than the food. The staff does not know the price or what is available in the kitchen. It's ok for young people. 60s cafe cannot handle people above 50s. I am a bit disappointed but the food was still good.

The sketches of Lata Mangeshkar and other great celebs was the best spot for clicking photos. We had pav bhaji, it came with good portion and was so tasty. Lovely place to hangout.

Good service 👍 great staff ...good hot chocolate ☕ latte ...I can enjoy it

I ACTUALLY LOVED THE TASTE OF THE FOOD...no lies.. We ordered so many things such as lemon iced tea, milk coffee, salted fries and bombay aloo masala sandwich. All of them were so fineee.

Newly opened branch, very clean and cozy vibe, friendly owner / staff. I had pesto pizza which was delicious with ample gooey cheese.
