i am from rishikesh and this was my favourite restaurant until my last visit in november 2020. i understand that due to covid, the staff had changed but i hadn't seen the quality of a restaurant deteriorate so much. i had friends over and this was my go to place. on reaching there, i was insisted on taking the outdoor seating then the chair was broken. when i asked to replace it, the person in charge said other tables are reserved and if they change then they will face the problem then. somehow i managed to sit in that chair without taking the backrest, the waiter gave no attention to us for 10 minutes despite constantly asking for the menu. there is a candle light arrangement but they didn't light it only on our table. i was still sure food is going to begreatbut alas the food was totally bland. there was no salt and no flavours. when told, the waiter said that foreigners do not prefer much salt or spices. mind you, due to covid there has been hardly any foreigners in rishikesh for past 8 months. then we ordered a pasta at last with specific instructions on the spices but it never came even after 20 minutes and we paid and left. it was the most horrible visit and nobody enjoyed.
