I would really agree on one thing from the previous reviews on this cafe and that is service. It's really attentive and fast. And yes the food is good and great for a north indian. Tired poha in multiple places but it's best here among any other nearby options. And yes we were really late, the reason behind the empty cafe in my pictures. And it's calm and peaceful since it's not exactly on the main road, you can come and do your arts or yoga or even work.

The food was really nice and healthy, prepared in a hygienic environment. It was also very peaceful. If you are a couple or part of a group, you can visit and enjoy some good food in this tranquil setting.

This café holds a special place in my heart. During my 10-day stay in Rishikesh, I visited every day, enjoying both lunch and dinner with my friends. Their Cream of Mushroom Soup is a must-try, along with Manchurian Noodles, Pakoras, and Sandwiches. For dinner, I highly recommend their Paneer Lababdar and Dal Tadka. If you wanna try Pahadi food then must try their Pahadi Thali. The hospitality here is wonderful, and Abhishek Bhaiya is always incredibly helpful!
