The 45 best rooftop bars in Rishikesh

Loved the cool breeze and the unique vibe of the place — seating is divided across two / three floors with floor mattresses on upper floor, giving it a cozy, laid-back feel. The view is refreshing and adds to the chill atmosphere. We ordered the Special Freedom Pizza, Coffee Latte, Falafel Platter, and a Choco-Berry Dessert. While the food was average in taste, the pricing is economical, making it a budget-friendly hangout spot.

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.

The Om Freedom Café has worked hard to create a reliable brand. It's justly famous. Its riverside location, of course, does half the job. Its designers and the kitchen have done the rest. The seating in 6 different spaces at different levels, has 180°magical river, mountain and Laxman Jhula views. Two of the levels literally hang over the river. The menu is truly vast and has backpacker favourites like porridge and pancakes, Italian, Chinese, Israeli, Continental and Indian cuisine. Not to forget the bakery counter. The mandatory banoffee pie is there as well as Hello to the Queen. While partaking of Banofee Pie with Icecream, I was kept entertained, not just by the riverside scenes of boats and raftings, but also a pesky bunch of langurs, stealing food from diners! It was hilarious.

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.

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.

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

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.

Best view, best food staff was very brilliant. 🤩 fresh juices. We enjoyed all the items we ordered. Must try this cafe❤️

For expereince you can visit this place but its just one time visit, you wont get good parking space and the entry is congested. I feel it was more hyped on the internet than it acutally deserves. The food was average, only thing that stands out is the view from this cafe. Bring your own plates if you are coming with few of your freinds as they will not bring the plate to serve until you ask them, they just bring the food and no plates to serve among the people you are with.

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.

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 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.

Amazing attentive service and recommendation of food. Food arrived promptly with courtesy and professionalism. Well knowledge of products and dishes recommendation. Great atmosphere I enjoyed some fireworks in distance

This was our last meal here in rishikesh, couldn't have been better way to say adieu to ganga ji with a view, best service and amazing food here. We ordered dahi k sholey which I think were best I've ever had, the coffee was also amazing, we had Alfredo pasta and Schezwan fried rice which were also amazing. The dessert was rabdi kulfi which was truly mouth watering. Had a good time and staff is also very polite and kind.

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.

Jal & Jalebi is a multi-cuisine restaurant, serving authentic delicious food from cultures including Mughlai, Continental, Chinese, South Indian, and of course regional. Services are good. I highly recommend to visit this place with family or friends. Even This place name has Jalebi so must try Jalebi with rabdi its was toooo delicious 😋 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Italian food. Pizza was very good. Tiramisu and penna cota was delicious too.

Food was really authentic and too good. I have tried Fungi pizza and Tiramisu. The pizza was fine however the tiramisu was so good and is a must try. It is bit expensive around 300/- but worth a try.

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.

I tried their Burrata pizza 🍕🍕 and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, and the crust had that perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness. Easily the most authentic Italian pizza in Rishikesh. The service was excellent too—friendly, attentive, and quick. Highly recommend! 🌼🌸

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.

Good and prompt service but the order takes time to prepare for fresh items. Have a good view of the Ganges river I tried their coffee, pies and chocolate dishes Also had the Banana chocolate pancake Recommended place in Rishikesh. All were equally good.

This place has my heart! I landed up here accidentally while I was roaming around waiting for my hostel to check me in. I guess the only reason I ended up here was because it opens earlier than most cafes in the street. I visited every single day of my stay afterwards :) The view from the balcony is just mesmerising. The staff is very friendly, they wouldn’t bother you even if you’re seated for hours (unlike many other places in the vicinity, understandably so they care about table rotation). The place has a free WiFi, and power plugs :) So work away for as long as you want. The food and beverage options are decent, and the pricing is alright. The menu is vegan friendly.

A great experience at the banks of River Ganga. Definitely a place to visit if you plan to grab some snacks while enjoying a scenic view. The staff are polite and most important are kind to furry animals. Must try - Ginger lemon honey tea.

The ambiance is cozy with a beautiful view of the Ganges, perfect for a relaxed meal. Their freshly baked bread ( croissant)are a highlight, complemented by hearty dishes. Friendly service and reasonable prices make it a must-visit for both travelers and locals seeking a taste of Europe in the heart of Rishikesh.

The ambience was perfect. Sitting there in the balcony near the Ganga and watching sunset it was a great experience. Here some guy play flutes, idk if he was visiting or works there but he plays so well. On the other hand i tried Ice lemon tea ,not that great.

I appreciate the freshness of the Cinnamon Rolls at this place, as they are baked on-site. And some other bakery items too. However, the overall experience falls short of its potential. Despite the fantastic location with a Ganga River side view, the cafe seems to lack the effort or expertise to create a more appealing atmosphere. If you're in Rishikesh or Laxman Jhula and have a craving for Cinnamon Rolls, it's worth a try, but don't expect much beyond that.

This is a lovely place in Laxman Jhula. I like the black coffee there – finding a good one in India is not always easy. This place also has delicious desserts and an incredible view of Ganga. To be honest, the most important thing is the staff – they are awesome!

On the busy streets, this is a very good place for wood fired pizza. They have a parking area, ambience is good, outdoors and indoors. Service is fast if its not weekend. They have limited seating if its huge crowd. We tried beetroot soup which was authentic and hot & sour soup which was regular. We tried paneer pizza and fungi mushroom pizza, the base is not thick and hard. Its soft, very tasty. Palak paneer and roti were good. We tried bruseette which tasted different with soya sauce. Lasgene was very tasty. Blue lagoon had too much ice. Their speciality kombucha was very good and is must try. They also include the special request if any. The restaurant is costly for their special dishes. But is one time a good try. Like the review if it was helpful and let me know for any questions.

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 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!

Very good experience. The scenary, the food and the service was very good. Minestrone soup as starter could be served also in Roma or Milano. The pizza is in the diameter of your car 🛞 and tastier than other Rishikesh places. The gangas view and sound is present in each bite. The only thing that should be immediately improved is the rest room...its a little more expensive than near restaurants, but its worth it. David

This is a great find , I must say Vj's cafe. Please try the garage thali in addition to the pizza and also the Kumboza , the prebiotic drink

My friend and myself were exploring a good place for dinner and we chanced upon this place. So glad we did !! We tried the vegetarian pizza, basil tea, lemon honey tea. Food was amazing, ambiance watching Ganges was the icing on the cake. Price was decent and staff were very nice. Must visit. I hope I get to visit here again. Thank you VJ for such a memorable experience.

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😊🙏🏻❤️

It was so delicious and authentic. One can't stop at just one. Although it's heavy but the dry fruit lassi in kulhad, makes your day.

Hidden Gem for Lassi Lovers in Rishikesh! 🥤 Randomly searched on Maps after Ganga Aarti and luckily found this amazing spot. As a lassi lover, I was really surprised by the affordable prices and the great taste! Tried 3-4 varieties — all were refreshing, and even had real almond pieces in them. The Banana Lassi and Kullad Lassi are absolute must-tries. Great place to chill after the Aarti. Highly recommend!

Just good lassi for 40RS not very sweet 👍🏻 One request to the owner, make a normal sink with a tap! Present moment clients use bucket with glass 🤦🏻‍♂️

Love this place I tried the regular lassi this time, but I'll definitely be back to try the other varieties next time!

Delhi type famous lassi, must try

Stopped here for lassi once during our visit to Rishikesh. Clean place with reasonable price. Not much space for parking though for a 4 wheeler. Lassi's taste was okay not exceptional.

Tasty, flavourful lassis for you to enjoy after the dip! It's in the centre of the market and I would definitely recommend it if you are visiting Rishikesh. One of the hidden gems of the city.

(10/25) The Staff was really welcoming, friendly and helpful - five stars for them! We didn't stay at Zostel, but we came to see a double room. The room was good and cleanliness was okay by international terms. However the bathrooms are old and somewhat run down - for ₹3500 a night this is simply poor value. Other Zostels we stayed at were more realistically priced for what they had. We found another reasonably priced room elsewhere.

I loved the stay at Zostel Tapovan. It was so clean and one of the best things about the place is their rooftop cafe. The food is amazing. A special mention the people working in Zostel. They are the sweetest, very fun loving and give the right guidance for exploring Rishikesh. They offer services for adventure sports and for renting bikes. I would definitely visit again. Cheers to the new friends that I made here.❤️

A Memorable Stay at Zostel My recent stay at Zostel was nothing short of wonderful, and I'd like to highlight a few key aspects that made it so enjoyable. First and foremost, the staff's hospitality was exceptional. Mr. Rahul at the reception deserves a special mention. From the moment I checked in, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed about the property and the surrounding area. His warm demeanor and helpful nature truly set a positive tone for my entire visit. The food at the Zostel cafe was another major highlight. I was consistently impressed by the quality and flavor of every dish I tried. The menu offered a good variety of options, and everything was prepared with care. Whether it was for a quick snack or a full meal, the cafe provided a delicious and satisfying experience. Finally, the cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable. It's clear that the Zostel team takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of hygiene. My room was spotless, and the common areas were also kept neat and tidy. This attention to detail made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my stay.

We stayed 3 nights at Zostel Tapovan. We'd booked a deluxe twin room and when we arrived had to ask specifically for the beds to be separated and made up. The overall cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, especially the bathroom. There is hardly any water pressure, so we had to have a bucket shower. Most of the electrical outlets do not work including the hair dryer in the bathroom. The remote controls all need new batteries. Despite staying 3 nights, they never replenished drinking water and we had to ask for more toilet paper. However, the most irritating part was the noise. We were on the 4th floor and every night there was loud live music, pushing of chairs on the floor, constant banging, we couldn't sleep. We were told the rooftop bar/restaurant was only open until 11, but the noise went well into the morning hours every night. On our final night our neighbours were listening to loud music, singing, slamming doors and there was no concern or action from the hostel staff. It's not cheap and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I feel like they are trying to portray a high end hotel, but behaving like a backpackers. You can find much better value for money elsewhere.

Best place to stay in Rishikesh. Clean room with private balcony having wonderful view of mountain. Food is top notch with excellent service from the staff . Location is walking distance to river and all major tourist attaraction. Staff is warm and welcoming. 100/100 for providing a safe , clean and comfortable stay 🙏🙏

Stayed at Zostel Tapovan with my friend and had a wonderful time! Clean, cozy rooms, friendly staff, and a peaceful vibe. The mountain views from the terrace café were simply breathtaking – the perfect spot to relax with coffee and good conversations. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience at Zostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always making sure that everything was comfortable during my stay. A special mention to Shakti – he’s a genuinely good guy and very supportive, which made my visit even better. The Zostel café was also great, and the Indian food served there was delicious. Overall, a very pleasant and memorable stay!

It's my first time staying at a hostel. It was a good experience with the stay. I'll definitely come back again and stay at this place when I'm doing a trek because you get to meet strangers and go around with them. Only problem is there is no lift so if you have heavy bags then you have to climb up with those bags and it's a little steep staircase.

Stayed here for 1 night, would not recommend. For 1,800 rupees: - Hot water didn't work - Mould all over the walls - Dirty stained bedsheets and pillows -A/C was dripping water all over the floor. Had to change rooms at midnight. - WiFi didn't work at all during the 24 hours I was there (which they blamed on the weather) - Room door did not close properly and did not lock. - Located right next to an extremely loud construction site. Also not near any places of interest. I wanted to give them a better rating because the staff were friendly. But the property is in such poor condition and needs some deep cleaning and maintenance.

​Mainly patronised by trekkers and backpackers, it provides just the type of facilities required by them. Another plus point is the central location and easy availability of shared rickshaws nearby. We stayed in a 'deluxe room'. It was comfortable. Admirably serves the needs of its targeted clientele.

I stayed in the 6-bed dorm and had a great experience. The dorm was quite spacious with a large, clean washroom. The entire place is very clean and hygienic. The host is super friendly and welcoming. It’s also a great spot for remote work, with a nice café that’s perfect for working. The food at the hostel is delicious and definitely worth trying!

Live Free Hostel in Rishikesh is good, but honestly not as good as GoStops Rishikesh. The property is well painted, clean, and maintained nicely. It’s not crowded at all, and the service is polite and decent. If you’re looking for a **quiet and solo-friendly stay**, then this place works fine. It’s peaceful, and since only a few people usually stay here, you’ll get your privacy. However, that same quietness can feel uncomfortable at times. For me, the hostel felt a bit too empty—I actually felt uneasy because there were hardly any people around. They also claim to host music nights or concerts, but during my stay, there was nothing like that happening. So if you’re expecting a lively vibe or community events, you might be disappointed. Overall, it’s a decent place for a peaceful solo stay, but if you want a **more social, energetic, and happening hostel experience**, I’d suggest GoStops over Live Free.

Ambri and Ronit make sure you have a hassle free check in, stay and check out. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are cleaner. The location is perfect with every possible thing to do in a walking distance. Starting from renting a two wheeler, trekking and camping gear to curated trips they have it all. The in house cafe is excellent. They help in arranging cabs for airport transfer. There's even a small perfectly curated itinerary for those who have come without a plan.

So the best way to book is the their website its always cheaper. The cafe is fantastic, the staff is super good and accommodating. The rooms can be better. The bunk beds are too tought to climb to. Some of them shake a bit too much. The picture on the wall impressed me the most.

We arrived a little before 1 p.m. We were told the room would be ready in a few minutes. When it was ready, they would call us. We waited for about an hour and I had to ask for it ourselves. And they said "Yes, your room is ready, you can take key in reception. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you". Simply disregarding the guests. The room was clean with a nice view of the mountains, a hairdryer in the bathroom is definitely a plus, But the WiFi in this room is definitely not a plus. It just didn't work. We reported it several times and were told they'd fix it. And guess what, they didn't fix it and they didn't let us know at all, I had to ask for it several times, so I don't recommend the service at all.

A decent stay overall tbh, dorms room were a bit compact. And the kitchen also didn't have a whole lot of options. But on the flip side a good view, nice terrace cafe. Also, Parking is not as easy so you have to be creative. But if you ask them they will save you a spot.

Overall, the stay was okay. Basic needs were met, but cleanliness and bathroom maintenance need improvement. Positives ✅ Late check-in was convenient Lobby and front area were clean Easy to locate Hot water available for shower Negatives ❌ Pillow didn’t feel properly cleaned Washroom sink wasn’t draining properly Broken wiper in the washroom Poor ventilation in the bathroom

I do know whether they provide room for staff to sleep or not because staff sleep in play area, Few things I don't like about them are First- Today morning when I ask reception for yoga mat, they said we don't have yoga mat. Second - When I entered In play room at around 6:30 AM to do yoga, every one is sleeping here and there on sofas, I felt very awkward to do meditation there because they might got disturbed but I did not find any other place to do so, roof was wet Due to rain. Either you should have one silence room for Meditation or provide yoga mat for meditation or ask them to sleep somewhere else. Also staff behaviour is so casual no professionalism because they are just 18 to 25 age group people. #Clean #NoProfessionalism #GoodLocation #CostlyFood

I had a deeply troubling experience during my stay at Blue Jay Hostel in Rishikesh. One of the staff members, a receptionist named Suraj, behaved in an extremely inappropriate and abusive manner. His conduct was not only unprofessional but also made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable throughout my stay. I strongly urge the management to take this matter seriously and address such behavior immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of future guests. No one should have to endure harassment, especially in a place that promises hospitality and peace. Until appropriate actions are taken to rectify this, I cannot recommend this hostel to others.

Before coming to hostel i had high hopes due to pics but the hostel have too many of the problems but good for many. Cons 1. The wifi is terrible in common areas and no signal in rooms. ( Worst Part ) 2. The management is too weak and lousy that they don't know how to run CRM and take bookings as even after checking 12 hours ago they still didn't knew i checked in and for checkout too they still call you thay when will i check out which i already did 5 hours ago. 3. They don't change linen regularly after every stay of any person in dorm. 4. When asked to change linen after staying 1 day in a seprate room they told they don't have staff in evening time. ( What a hostel with no inhouse staff ) 5. No proper parking guidance but the main con in this is they have specifically written in booking time about having parking and all. Pros 1. If you are someone who wants less restrictions in hostel than this is your go to stop. 2. You will hardly see staff so it makes easy to be around 3. Hostel is overall clean. ( Best Part ) 4. location is in easy access.

Had a good experience at Blue Jay Hostel! The rooms were clean and the room service was also really good The common area was also lively and had multiple games to spend time there The view from the deluxe rooms was pretty and the washrooms were also neat and tidy The staff was very professional and helpful and helped us with all queries we had about rishikesh and problems we were facing The roof top cafe had really good and clean food Will definitely recommend

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) *****

VARR – Temple Food of India in Rishikesh offers an exceptional dining experience that seamlessly blends divine ambience, impeccable service, and soul-satisfying food. From the moment you step in, you are enveloped by an aura of serenity and elegance. The ambience is thoughtfully curated with traditional Indian aesthetics, soft lighting, and soothing background chants that elevate the spiritual and cultural essence of the place. The service at VARR is warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. The staff is well-versed with the origins and philosophy behind each dish, making the dining experience more enriching. Their polite demeanor and timely service ensure you feel welcomed and cared for throughout your visit. The food is the true star — a celebration of sattvic, temple-inspired cuisine from across India. Each dish is prepared without onion or garlic, yet packed with flavors that surprise and delight the palate. From the fragrant khichdi to the rich curries and delicate desserts, everything is served with a sense of devotion and purity.

Sacred Flavors with a Heavenly Ambience This place has a beautiful ambience, tastefully decorated with a serene charm that perfectly complements the dining experience. An amazing experience! The food was incredibly delicious, full of character, and felt like visiting a dozen different holy places at once. The staff were outstanding—their passion and enthusiasm in explaining each item made the meal even more special. Truly commendable

Great Concept, definitely bringing the whole of India Together. Service and Staff is Spot On. What can be improved is the variety of food and also a little modern take on the contemporary food night help justify the cost and elevate the patron's Experience.

Beautiful place and what a unique concept! We really loved our lunch here. The food was tasty, clean, and very light on the stomach despite of it being a thali. They were very sweet to the kid with us and also very mindful of my allergies. It's a little expensive but we had lovely time. Shall definitely recommend it to others!

The food is really good and delicious. the experience you get before starting a meal is divine. The servers are super warm and explain you everything in detail and serve you with such humility that it justifies tha name of temple thali which definitely adds to more taste. They even served my child whatever he demanded with a smile on his face. Must try experience if you are coming to Rishikesh.

The restaurant is an excellent area for people seeking diversity in food. I prefer taste over variety. The taste of the variety of food didn't match my expectations. The price, according to what they serve, isn't up to my liking. The service starts and ends, and when you expect there will be more, you realize this is it. If they say it offers 20+ dishes, they include the worthless pickles and other small dishes also, which hold no taste and worth being called an independent dish. My final word would be, go there if you want to taste India, and not if you seek taste.

Very interesting concept of bringing food from all the temples across India into a plate and serving you beautifully. We enjoyed the thali here where each item was made with care and tasted delicious. All the food items were mild in spice level which made sense as the food represents different temples. All the options were served in small portions initially to reduce the wastage. We can order more whatever you like. Special mention for the dessert. Imarti rabdi and peda were out of this world. The price of the thali is on the higher side for Rishikesh but the quality of the food was also quite good. I wish we had more appetite.

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.

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

Best stay in Rishikesh! I love the ambience, cozy and relaxed environment, great for working, Manas, Neeraj and entire staff is so cooperative and friendly. They will make you feel comfortable. I've stayed here for a week 2 times. My favorite room is the big one, amazing lighting with huge window. Thank you Manas and Neeraj! I will keep coming back to this wonderful place! Namaste! 🙏 ❤

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.

This guest house is in the lap of a mountain surrounded by greenery all around. There is a waterfall flowing through the mountain which can be seen from the balcony. The rooms were neat and clean. Food was homely and fresh. Prompt services. Though NOT meant for elders as the way up to the resort is an uphill climb which gets slippery during rains. Perfect for young backpackers and couples.

Overall, I had a great experience with the (pyramid cafe & Guest house ); staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to celebrate a birthday weekend. I would like to thank from bottom of my heart for early check in and I really enjoyed the fresh food . We will visit soon and refer our colleague also :)

A very nice place serving organic food, a lot of it from their own organic garden. No soft drinks with sugar here! Especially the falafel platter is extraordinary tasty, fresh, served at the right temperature and totally recommend by me without any hesitation. It's the best in town. Last but not least: very friendly and dedicated crew. I always feel most welcome here. I just love this place!

I Accidentally came across this place and really happy that I found this place. The place is very peacefull, staff is very humble,helpful and co-operative. The food is just amazing. Rooms are economical, neat and have view of trees and can here water fall as well.During my stay my morning started with beautiful birds chirping.

We visited this place in February this year. It wasn't crowded at all due to covid. Overall a great experience with amazing host who was kind enough to show us around. Food was really good and freshly prepared. It was so soothing having our lunch in peaceful, green ambience. Will definitely visit this place when in Rishikesh again.

We visited pyramid cafe recently and this was one of the finest food experience I had in long time. One of the best to eat and indulge. Have ample time in hand as everything is freshly prepared and nothing is precooked. We had shakshuka with hummus and pita and potato with cheeze sizzler and mint lemonade. The presentation, taste and hygiene was bang on. Do have a look their photo book for the birth and journey of pyramid cafe and guest house.

Not a very easy location to get to with a bike. The surroundings were nice, greenery all around & peaceful. But the food wasn't tasty at all.. Neither the Indian food, nor the Mexican we had. & drinks were pretty bad too. We left half of the food uneaten.

Nice place to spend some good time and have great food with friends, can take off your shoes and sit Indian style. Great Ganges view. Food portions are just right matches the price. Ambience is good. When we went some construction was happening downstairs due to which lesser number of guests. But service was alright, am sure they get many guests and according to the staff place is crowded in the evening.

It's a decent place with a good view. The prices are really reasonable and the menu has a lot of variety. We loved the smoothies and sushi here. The tea and the porridge could have been better. The quantity of this place is super amazing.

Excellent “Milk Coffee,” Pretty good tofu scramble. Great fresh juice ~ beautiful view of mother Ganges. JAI!

I tried many cafes and restaurants in Rishikesh but this falafel plate is one of the best dish I came across during my two months stay ! The cosy atmosphere with holy Ganga was also makes me want to come back again. The fresh Joice called “good morning” was also good.

AWESOME DELICIOUS FOOD. Very homey. Very peacefull music. Didnt want to leave. Don't expect restaurant level atmosphere. Feels very comfortable. And cheap compare to many other places

Good food. *Very* slow service. Wifi. Sweet atmosphere

Delicious food, correct prices. And very chill place

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.

Best location and best accomodation in tapovan. You can’t book online you have to walk in and see with the owner which make it so much better for the stay. Such a lovely couple and the boys working there are very nice too Highly recommended

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 🙏🏽

Disappointed with the Chef's culinary skills. We ordered 'Chilli Basil Noodles', we received salty chowmien noodles. Ordered 'Greek Salad' specifically asking for feta cheese, we received an over-sour-salty marinated salad plate with salted cottage cheese, rendering it inedible. The only satisfying treats we experienced here were the fresh juices and the alfonso mango ice cream - a must try - backdropped by a beautiful view of the hills and ganga. Special thanks to Mr Manoj and his server team for trying their hospitable best.

One of the best cafes in rishikesh, at least in terms of taste and service. The ambience is simple and elegant and is not fancy like some other cafes but pretty good for a simple meal. The staff is also very hospitable. Rates are relatively on the pricier side. Pizza, sandwiches and desserts, everything we tried was good.

I entered here just to have one hot chocolate. The outdoor and indoor maintained clean. I liked the ambience of colorful bottles, fresh baked and coffee preparations. I had hot chocolate and with latte art it made me happy. The service is very good and warm. I would like to come back here. The price is a little higher Overall its a good try who want to tickle their taste buds. Like the review if it was helpful and comment for any question

“Amazing Croissant & Espresso!” Stopped by Divine Cafe & Bakery during my trip to Rishikesh, and I’m so glad I did! I ordered a croissant 🥐 and an espresso ☕️, and both were absolutely perfect. The croissant was buttery, flaky, and fresh—easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The espresso was rich, bold, and just what I needed to kickstart my day. The staff was warm and attentive, and the service was quick. If you’re a fan of good coffee and freshly baked treats, this place is a must-visit in Rishikesh. Highly recommended for a morning pick-me-up break!

This cafe is located at a great location in the Tapovan area in Rishikesh. Offers decent views (there are other cafes in the area with better views), good food and friendly staff. They also have a tea bar with interesting flavors to try for custom made tea. Special shoutout to Sandhya who has been extremely helpful and responsive with all my orders!

This is the place you must go to. This is not a hidden gem, but definitely underrated because there’s no hype and spiritual “branding”. This cafe is air conditioned. That’s what you need after a walk in the hot sun in Lakshman jhula area.

This is the one place in Rishikesh where good food meets wonderful ambiance to result in a peaceful culinary experience. We ordered blueberry cheese cake, chocolate coffee cake, and a choco muffin. The pastries were delicious and well made. The muffin was also good but could have been much better at that price. Later we also ordered two lattes which was equally good. For two people we paid around 1400 which is a bit pricy for many people including us. But we were so frustrated from the food we have had so far at our stay and other cafes that we coulpd justify the price for the experience. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone visiting Tapovan atleast once and more if your budget allows.

We ate amazing Tofu, Veg Fried rice, Dosa... The best I've eaten I think in India! The pastries were also delicious to celebrate a birthday. The staff and service were very good! We will definitely be back!thanks again 🥰

A large place with a huge selection of fried foods alongside sweets. Everything we ate was excellent and the place is very close to the central Ghat

Despite the heavy footfall, orders are taken efficiently—names noted on a list and tables turned quickly. You might wait ~10–20 mins during peak times, but the food arrives fast once seated. With a cost around ₹400 for two, portions are generous and prices reasonable for Rishikesh standards. Cleanliness: Most reviews praise a generally clean, well-managed environment, though a few mention occasional lapses—one noted a cockroach sighting in sweets .

Absolutely delicious! We visited Rajasthani Misthan Bhandar and were thoroughly impressed. We tried the samosa, lassi, veg noodles, soya chaap, and steamed momos — every dish was bursting with flavor. For dessert, we had the rasmalai, which was the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the place was clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend this spot — 100% worth a visit!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rajasthan Mishthan Bhandar: A Must-Visit for Authentic Delights! If you're in Rishikesh and craving authentic Indian sweets or savory snacks, Rajasthan Mishthan Bhandar is an absolute gem! 💎 I recently had the pleasure of visiting, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly prepared delicacies, promising a delightful culinary journey. Food (5/5) 😋 The food here is simply exceptional. Every item I tried was bursting with flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Their sweets are perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and melt in your mouth. The namkeens are wonderfully crisp and seasoned just right. A special mention goes to their samosas 🥔🌶️ – they are arguably the best in Meerut, perfectly crispy on the outside with a flavorful filling. Their jalebis 🌀 also deserve a shout-out for being deliciously syrupy and fresh! Staff (5/5) 👋 The staff at Rajasthan Mishthan Bhandar are incredibly friendly, courteous, and efficient. They genuinely seem to take pride in their work and are always ready to help with recommendations or answer any questions you might have. Service was prompt and with a smile, making the entire experience very pleasant. It's rare to find such consistently good service! Ambiance (4/5) ✨ While it's primarily a sweet shop and not a dine-in restaurant, the place is clean, well-maintained, and hygienic. It has a traditional yet inviting feel, and you can see the fresh preparations being made, which adds to the appeal. It can get a bit busy during peak hours, but that's a testament to its popularity! Pros: 👍 * Authentic Rajasthani Flavors: Experience the true taste of traditional Indian sweets and snacks. * High-Quality Ingredients: You can taste the freshness and quality in every bite. * Excellent Customer Service: Friendly, polite, and efficient staff. * Wide Variety: A vast selection of sweets, namkeens, and even some street food items in the evening. * Hygienic Environment: Clean and well-maintained premises. * Value for Money: Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Cons: 👎 * Limited Seating: Primarily a takeaway establishment, so seating options are minimal if you plan to eat there. * Can Get Crowded: Due to its popularity, it can be quite busy, especially during festive seasons or peak hours. Overall: Rajasthan Mishthan Bhandar is more than just a sweet shop; it's a true culinary institution in Meerut! Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in delectable Indian treats. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning soon! 💯 #MeerutFood #RajasthanMishthanBhandar #SweetTooth #IndianSweets #MustVisit #Foodie #LocalGem

I tried 5 of their items from different categories and I must say every single of them is best in class and taste really good. It felt no one can beat this taste in this price range, I'm happy with the food and pricing. Thank you rajasthani misthan bhandar.

Visited this place after years, it's too noisy. Food is just ok, won't rate it outstanding or even great. Though it's very popular among tourists but I guess things are not all the same.

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

We have ordered Olive con mushroom pizza & Alla Pesto Pasta. Pizza was pretty good & tasty with fresh veg in it, whereas pista was okay okay. Nice mountain & river View from the restaurant.

Food was great. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Amazing place. Just sit back and enjoy your food. Note- They prepare fresh food, so t it does take time dor each order.

LA Bella cafe one of my favorite cafe. Food, his service and the most important things is view that's amazing.the manger behavior is so friendly. I hardly recommended that everyone who visit rishikesh you need to also visit in LA bella cafe.

People have already uploaded too many photos so no photos from my side. This restaurant is on first floor view is okay only. Food is good specially lemonade. Now catch for all these cafe is , all have all most sane menu and same test and sane looks. So where ever you are comfortable and have a good view just sit back and enjoy as I did with the 3rd Cafe in this area

Cafe is neat and clean, quality is good and taste is authentic. I'm visiting this place from last 10 years and they have very welcoming nature, location is perfect and food is super fresh everytime

Never ever had imagined to have such good quality of food in Rishikesh and the restaurant location just above holy river Ganga is something one must not miss, while visiting Rishikesh. Gives full guarantee of satisfaction and you would too surely give 100% marks to any dish ordered and prepared in La Bella

Very friendly staff and nice cafe. Right opposite to Laxman jhoola road. They serve verities of Israeli food as well. Do try pizza 🍕 and banana Nutella chocolate pancake 🥞 Don't try sizzler / soup 🍲

It's a nice cosy place to spend a evening. Relaxed seating. I score 4 to the place and 3 to the food. We order pizza and Gunochi Agli spinaci ( it was not an authentic one). Taste of the food was fine.

I was in rishikesh (tapovan) in October 2020 . And this place was nearby my yoga school i used to go their with friends and I have tried this fruit bowl , coffee and pancake and much more and everything is damn tasty and healthy and i would like to tell you this place have this touch of creativity and they build things we throw when we get bored but they use those things in decoration like cycle tyre and sitting area with traditional things ( ghadwali ) and owner is very friendly and kind hearted person ❤️

One of the best cafes that I have hoped into while in Rishikesh. Fresh food everytime. Delicacies from all over the world. Enjoyed the food. Authentic Israeli food.

I have been suggested to visit this for Akai bowl and banofee pie, unfortunately they have stopped making Banoffee pie but i had Akai bowl and it was absolute heaven and drool worthy, definitely best meal of the trip, since I reached little late in the evening so couldn't took much pictures of the place.

Food is good, food quality and quantity is also high. Atmosphere is good. But service slow

Glad to visit here. Very friendly staff. Delicious Food. Pizza and Shakshuka was really great. I'll definitely visit again whenever I'll be here. Thanks Amit Negi for your wonderful service.

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.

The lift was not working, you need to change the building for using lift. I ordered food also not good. The only good part was the staff they were humble, helpful. If you are going solo then it is worth it(meeting new people) but if you are in a group better to take other hotels or hostels better stay and better view from the room.

The Hosteller, Rishikesh Upper Tapovan is a beautiful property clean and full of good vibes. My room was hygienic and the breakfast was delicious. The staff here is friendly and helpful. A special mention to the Community Manager Kaashi who made the experience truly unforgettable. He took a bunch of us on night rides and star-gazing trips to some lesser-known but stunning spots. He also guided us to a sunrise point, which was an incredible experience and made everyone feel welcomed and included. His energy and conversations brought people together like a family. Overall The Hosteller team is doing a fantastic job.

I had one of the best hostel experience over here. Met some cool folks. And place was vibrant and yhe view was perfect. Here I had the chance of meeting Kashi. He's the best community manager I've came across. Very proactive. Gets to know everyone. Puts his time in doing that. Overall, I liked this hostel for the views, vibe, activities, communities and of course with a very active community manager

I stayed at the Hosteller, Upper Topavan for 3 nights and have had a great experience. The onboarding check-in done well in advance proved to be smooth. The rooms were well kept. The Cafeteria service was great. The staff are quite supportive. Overall, a great experience. The only difficulty that I faced is because the location is situated uphill and since we did not have a four-wheeler vehicle, we had to walk upto 500 mts.

Had a wonderful day stay! The place had really nice vibes – perfect for a quick getaway. The service was excellent, with staff being very cooperative and attentive throughout. The food was also delicious and well-prepared. Overall, a smooth and relaxing experience. Highly recommended for a short and refreshing break!

I had an excellent stay during my trip to Rishikesh. Awesome vibes, lively people amazing staff and awesome hospitality. The live music on the weekend was just perfect. Loved this place. I lost a thing or two at this place but everything else was nice.

The service was not up to the mark. The add on of ganga aarti is just for showcase and they dont help with anything. We had carry heavy suitcases ourselves because their lift was not working, the staff didnt bother to help unless we had to argue. The rooms are decent but the overall buildimg space is very conjusted.

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.

Got Scammed! We booked dorm in this hostel at lower price, while checking in they falsely claimed that the room we booked is under maintenance, and they had upgraded (priced higher) our room according to availability. This had happened with many of our dorm mates. Also, the staff, especially the owner was so rude. Rooms were ok, I doubt if the bedsheets were changed. Will recommend to prefer other good hostels. The hostel is about 25 minutes walking distance from Ram Jhula (since Laxman Jhula is not operational)

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The room was dirty, with stains on the carpet and an unpleasant odor throughout. The air conditioning didn’t work, and the bathroom had mold around the shower. Staff were rude and unhelpful when I asked to switch rooms. The bed was uncomfortable, and I could hear noise from the hallway all night. Breakfast was cold and barely edible. For the price I paid, I expected at least basic cleanliness and courtesy. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely never stay here again. Totally disappointed and frustrated

Wonderful hostel , I recommend everyone to stay there once, it is very neat and clean. Apart from Lakshman and Ram Jhula, there is also sivaPuri Neelkanth Mahadev Temple nearby. I liked it very much. There are a lot of facilities in this budget. The main person wants cleanliness which is more than expected

Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs! My stay here was absolutely awful. To start with, there was no water in the toilet, which is simply unacceptable. The condition of the room was shockingly poor – everything felt neglected and unhygienic. The cleanliness was non-existent: dusty surfaces, stained linens, and an overall filthy environment made it impossible to feel comfortable. It was not just disappointing, it was distressing. I strongly advise others: do not waste your money or your peace of mind. There are far better options available. Save yourself the regret – stay away from this place!

One of my worst experience. We booked a room by contacting the hotel directly with a booking amount (half of the total) and due to flight issues we have to cancel it and Shiv Shakti team confirmed the cancellation with a refund in 3-4 days but no refund was provided after 2 months as well, they even stopped taking calls and stopped replying to messages. I do not recommend anyone to this hotel.

These guys are running a scam, kindly do not book this property, I booked a room on 4th of october and the rooms were very dirty, I could not stay there for even 10 minutes even after paying full amount, my 2k rs got wasted and I had to find another hotel in the middle of the night. This place is a nightmare and an health hazard, below are the images for supporting evidence

Best hostel near Laxman jhula. Only 2 min walk to Laxman jhula. Very affordable stay. Most of the rooms are packed with foreigners. View of Ganga and new glass bridge is amazing from rooftop. Amazing experience. Clean and organized.

Worst experience ever! My personal room was stinking, i had ants on my bed, no basic amenities. No value for the high money I paid for this room. It is at a height so i had to park my bike elsewhere with additional parking fees. In addition to that staff is so impolite. The backend team put my contact number on block. Not addressing our problem properly. I wanted a refund for my second day. They wasted my entire first day of two day trip. Money wasted, time wasted.

Our stay at this hostel was absolutely incredible! My friends and I had a fantastic time. The 6-bed dorm was clean and comfortable, and the common area was a lively and fun place to hang out and meet other travelers. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly cooperative and went above and beyond for us. We arrived completely soaked from the rain, and they were kind enough to provide an early check-in, which was a huge relief. The manager and the entire team were so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. I can't recommend this place enough—it’s the perfect spot for travelers looking for a great atmosphere and exceptional service. We're already planning our next trip back!

Oct 11th, 2025 Infected with mold and moldy smell as soon as you enter. A lot of dead and alive bugs even on the bed. Ants on bed. No amenities what so ever. Got very scratchy when took a nap on the bed. Spend many hours with the customer care. NO HELP! They won't let you make your point. If you push too much they might give you a different room or one in a nearby property but don't expect refund for all the time wasted. They don't really care about their customers. They definitely pretend they do. Great Ganga view though.

We had a really amazing experience at goSTOPS. Lovely rooms and great amenities, with a nice view from the terrace. You can easily get scooters and river rafting rides nearby. We paid around ₹350 per person for rafting and ₹300 per person for rafting photography. Scooter rentals cost about ₹250–300 per day, and petrol is available at ₹120 per litre from a nearby general store.

I stayed with my friends here for 2 days and those 2 days are memorable because of this stay. Super Friendly Staff and Super Caring. You can access to Common Area with lots of space, Pool, Table Tennis and Carrom. They also have projector if you want to binge watch. Apart, from that we got access as well where we captured some breath taking views. At last, I recommend this to everyone for there visit

ZERO STARS: Deceptive Listing and Poor Access This booking was a mistake. The hotel photos are pure fiction. Upon arrival, there was no vehicle access, only a sketchy, narrow walkway that made handling luggage unnecessarily difficult. This vital logistics failure was never disclosed. The entire stay felt like a fraudulent transaction. We were given a substandard product based on a false advertisement. If you value easy access, cleanliness, or accuracy in a hotel description, look elsewhere. This place is a hard pass. Avoid this dump.

I was at this place for 3 days. We stayed in the room for 2 days and then we opted for dormitory for 1 day to experience that as well. Ambience is amazing. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Food is served 27/7 which is good. There is good space for us to play and chill. We played TT and enjoyed the ambience over there. The only recommendation is that, it would be great if they provide water glasses, cups, kettle and some tea/coffee/milk sachets which ideally should be provided in a room. Apart from this particular thing, everything is perfect, I loved the way they colour coordinated everything which is very attractive. The key system is good idea for us to comfortably roam around individually without any hassle. Wifi connectivity details are shared to us through mobile, so the technology is good. I would strongly recommend it to everyone to experience this hostel.

After hopping alot of hostels I can say, Joey's Hostel Rishikesh delivers outstanding hospitality with friendly and humble staff. I experienced both dorms and private rooms, they are clean, comfortable and spacious—with serene views of the Ganga. The laid‑back, non‑judgmental ambience invites you to relax, mingle, or simply be yourself. Its location ensures excellent accessibility, very close to Laxman Jhula and local cafés. Staff members go above and beyond to help their guests with anything and everything. And weekend events at the rooftop café brings the perfect finishing touch to the place.

Amazing people - Danish and David were super helpful, friendly and welcoming. Great location. Great view from roof. Nice clean and comfortable room for a good price. I liked it so much I booked it before and after Valley of Flowers trek.

They had bed bugs cockroaches and we informed them however they were like we dont have any rooms available my friend slept at the reception where we paid for a private room like ssly when we said what about the refund they were like it wont be possible like ssly guys cant you guys maintain and do the cleaning of the property literally a nightmare im not coming back again here advise you guys to check the property first and dont go on the review pay little extra but find a good place here but not this i really dont like to give bad reviews however i really cant help cuz im so frustrated at the moment they shud have moved us to a different hotel but all they could say is no and nothing else. And im sure that they will delete this review however ill make a video on my channel and post it.

Nice place to stay in Rishikesh Tapovan area.. They have dorm bunk beds as well as private rooms.. I stayed in a dorm room, which costed 450 rupees per day.. very affordable at the prime location of rishikesh.. If travelling solo, dorms here are super affordable and comfortable.. Staff are super helpful and friendly.. They have a small restaurant at the top floor, food is decent.. Art work on the walls inside are good..

We stayed for 4 nights. We had a private room, the room was clean and the a.c was great! The staff were amazing and very hospitable, we rented bike from them and received towels when needed. The price was very good and fair. We had a little bit of a problem with the shower but it was ok. Be warned that there’s a hostel is a little down from the main road so you’ll have to clime a bit in the mornings.

An amazing hostel with extremely chill vibes. Rooms were good and clean. Staff were too courteous, amicable and helpful. We had initially booked for 2 nights but ended up extending our stay for over a week. Never thought that we would end up there making friends for life. Also the view from the terrace is just mesmerising. A 10/10 stay. Special mention to the chef Rana bhaiya and Shyam bhaiya for offering us a plethora deliciously cooked meals. Highly recommended to everyone who wants a budget stay and create unforgettable memories.

Bedbug alert: 03OCT2025 The place is disgusting. Unfortunately these reviews have been superficially inflated on all platforms. The pictures are not what it looks like. Extremely dirty from the lobby up to the dorm room where I should have known better with how dirty my bunk was. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep for a couple hours just to wake up to see a bedbug bite on my leg. Sure enough I flipped up the sheets and there this guy was. Avoid like the plague and don’t believe the reviews. They gave me my money back but didn’t not seem at all worried about cleaning the situation up.

Good place but mostly empty They must offer happy hours drinks to attract more clients

Worst place, I was searching for a restaurant to have dinner with my family, and most of the restaurants were close due to Holi celebration in the city. So I decided to go here, I found that the prices are very much higher than any other restaurant. You will get veg noodles in ₹250 and the main course (only vegetables) starting from ₹300 which is again very less in quantity. You will get simple water bottle at ₹45. I know there are some restaurants which may charge higher than this but they also give good services and nice ambiance. This restaurant neither had a good ambience nor good services. We just ordered 3 items and we get it in 45 mins, despite of having only 2 customers in the restaurant. So the overall experience is not good. I rather prefer other restaurants better than this.

G2C is a highly popular Bar and Restaurant in the area, attracting a large number of visitors. This popularity can be attributed to its wide range of cuisines, diverse selection of alcoholic beverages, and the availability of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The staff at G2C consistently demonstrate exceptional courtesy and professionalism, ensuring a pleasant dining experience for guests. The food preparation at G2C is of high quality, with generous portion sizes, and the prices are reasonable, making it an attractive choice for customers.

Location is very near to Natraj Chowk

A good name for a Bar and Restaurant but in reverse order. It suits better to name it Chill to Grill as it follows in the course of dinner. Good food and service but a bit slow. I wonder if it's deliberate to show the outlet to be busy as currently patrons seem to be limited. Brand new interior and furniture make it look attractive too. Parking is ample I love that aspect.

If you are looking for a restaurant where you can do get-to-gather, party, then yes this restaurant would be a perfect choice for you as it has a good amount of facilities and space. Here you will also find a bar where you can consume drinks 🍻. But if you want that you will have lunch or dinner here with family, then this is the wrong decision taken by you because their taste is only nice in terms of food, you cannot call it wonderful.

We went during the lunch time on a Sunday. This place has a seperate family restaurant and a rest-o-bar. Sufficient parking with on site security was there. Though the restaurant was empty when we arrived at around 3:15 in the afternoon but we got everything available in the menu. The quantity of the good we ordered was very good to our surprise. The taste was also descent.

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

The biggest strength of Riverside is that it's open spaces, the stunning location adjoining the river and the hills. One can just spend the time in the property on the swings or benches looking at the beautiful scenery. They have plenty of options for activities like badminton, vollyball, other outdoor sports, with beautiful riverside stay etc. The rooms are designed with a beautiful look and were spacious. But i Considering that this a must family and corporate groups,the food is damn delicious There is variety in veg and non veg section. Must visit 5 star riverside place with beat amenities and staff serving.

Had an incredible time camping in Rishikesh! Beautiful location by the Ganga River, great activities like rafting and trekking, and a cozy, well-maintained campsite. Highly recommended

The experience of camping in Rishikesh with this fantastic riverside spot was nothing short of magical. The serene beauty coupled with the gushing sound of the river made for a truly memorable stay. Not to mention, the Rishikesh camping packages offered were comprehensive, catering to all our needs from meals to adventure activities. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reconnect with nature.

Absolutely loved our weekend getaway at this riverside camping site in Rishikesh! It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The camp is quiet and remote, yet felt completely safe. Their Rishikesh camping packages provided a variety of activities, so there was never a dull moment. Can’t wait to return and try rafting!

Great camping experience! The campsite was beautiful and the activities were fun. Food was good, but the washroom could be improved. Overall, a memorable stay!

Unforgettable experience at Shivpuri! Riverside camping with thrilling rafing and cozy bonfires. Highly recommend the Rishikesh camping package

Camping in Rishikesh was amazing The tents were clean staff were friendly and the views were stunning Loved the bonfire and rafting experience Will definitely come back

A perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is less rush than expected and the time of sunset, with a golden blithe all around the beach is mesmerising and awe-spiring. Also, there is a regular ferry service to Lakshman Jhula and back. But it ends at sharp 6:30pm.

What a mesmerizing place to visit. You really feel something here. The weather, the view, and the surroundings are top-notch. The cold water flowing in the river and cool wind flowing around you is what you are looking for. The rocks and pebbles will make you wonder about the history of how these small pebble were big rocks. Must visit recommend.

Pebble Beach in Rishikesh is a serene and lesser-known riverside spot, perfect for those who love nature, peace, and photography. Located near the famous Laxman Jhula, this place offers a calm and picturesque escape from the bustling tourist areas. Unlike the usual sandy riverbanks, this beach is covered with smooth, round pebbles, giving it a unique charm. ###Why Visit Pebble Beach? ###1. Peaceful & Less Crowded Unlike popular ghats and busy tourist spots in Rishikesh, Pebble Beach remains quiet and less explored, making it an ideal place to relax, meditate, or enjoy solitude by the Ganges.

This is such a beautiful place to go in Rishikesh.At first it was not in my list but later on someone advised me to go there and I really spent such a good time here.The water is so clean and it's cold also.Its safe to go inisde until a certain point after which it's a little deeper.Must go with family and friends.Also it has rafting activities available.

Very close to the main tapowan market but since, it's a well known spot, it's usually crowded and people also take holy dips over here Instead of the ghats which makes the place unsanitary

The yoga classes are thoughtfully designed to suit all levels, whether you're a beginner or learned Akash sir is truly exceptional—a perfect blend of knowledge, passion, and compassion. They take the time to guide each student, ensuring proper alignment and technique while encouraging mindfulness and self-discovery. Their ability to create a nurturing and positive environment makes every session a transformative experience. Thanks to Akash sir and the Tattva yogpeeth, I’ve not only improved my physical strength and flexibility but also gained inner peace and clarity.

Good vegetarian food. It can be boring and tasteless sometimes, but good for elderly people.

Superb food. I think this is the best option in the whole Rishikesh area for North Indian food.

Worst tea, brekfast is fine, not best just ok. Even not taking feedback seriously to improve quality.

Good

Beautiful settings. We were in the terrace overlooking the Ram Jhula and the serene Ganges. We had the pizza and this was good. Also checked out the bakery - very good collection

(Translated by Google) TERRIBLE! We stopped for a chai and a bathroom stop. Dirty bathroom, terrible smell. The chai was not good and we paid 153 INR just for a chai. Folly!!! Avoid this place (Original) TERRIBILE! Ci siamo fermati per un chai è una sosta in bagno. Bagno sporchissimo, odore terribile. Il chai non era buono e abbiamo pagato 153 INR solo per un chai. Follia!!! Evitate questo posto

I stayed at Devine Resort for three days, had breakfast each morning, and enjoyed dinner on two evenings. Gaurav was exceptionally helpful with my elderly parents, ensuring they were comfortable and had everything they needed. Thank you, Gaurav, for your kind support!

Rooms are good, service is great. Food could be a little better.
