cafe evergreen

i have only tried the bakery here which is awesome, can't say much about the food but have heard alot from.others that they serve some good food, theambienceis quite nice with a river view behind it.

have visited this place with my family when we were on a himachal pradesh tour. we made a halt here and had our lunch.
we ordered
mushroom fried rice (5/5)
paneer masala (5/5)
barbeque chicken with fries and hummus (5/5)
tasted accordingly. the food was great both in quality and quantity. the thing astonished me most was the decor and the sitting arrangement. theambiencewas great as well with the young crowd and the families as well.

the more i talk about kasol, the more i want to go back to this place. its ever so serene and scenic landscape, the vibe and the people around can never get out of our head! but this review is not for kasol(maybe someday later) but a cafe situated in the heart of the hills - the evergreen cafe.

food - we ordered veg falafal roll, french fries(complimentary), veg pizza and omelette(we were really craving for one). i would not say the pizza, french fries and the omelette were the best(we have had some amazing pizzas and omelettes in the past and ofcourse we recently tried burger singh's french fries and are in awe!), however(extra emphasis), the falafal roll is something to talk about. first, it was huge. second, it reminded us of the falafal rolls we had in tripoli(oh in case we did not mention, we were born and brought up in tripoli, libya :)). we can definitely give the food here a noble 3/5.

ambience : this is the star of the cafe. theambienceis unparalleled. the hills surrounding the cafe blanket it from the hustle bustle of the city and the people in here gave it an extra vibe, an extra sparkle. the cafe kept shining like a north start amongst the ocean of cafes around it during the night sky(simile). we wouldn't mind giving a rating of 5/5 for ambience. paise isi ke hain bhai!

service : once again, we can't complain for a delayed service when the place is jampacked. a decent 3/5 from our end

overall rating : 3.6/5

we visited the kasol outlet of this café, but i couldn't find a listing for that on zomato. despite having heard that café evergreen was the best in kasol, it failed my expectations. what disappointed me the most, was the long wait for our order to be taken and an even longer wait of about 45 mins for the food to arrive. the staff though polite, were very few in number and least bothered to attend to the tables.

we ordered veg pesto pasta, bar-b-q chicken tikka and chicken schnitzel. the pasta seemed more like white sauce than pesto. the chicken tikka came with a side of french fries and the schnitzel, with hummus, which was a bit too bland for my liking. all three dishes were okayish - the quantities were fine but the quality was not worth the price at all.

the decor andambiencehowever was pretty cool, with an indoor seating area as well as an outdoor one, overlooking the hills.

we enjoyed theambiencecoz there was an awesome live singing performance , the place is by the riverside, the sound of the river flowing with the singing added an icing to the cake
