ganga view cafe

good cleanliness, food is really amazing, we ordered sandwiches and cold coffee for breakfast portion size andtastewas amazing. seating is evenly placed, not congested like some other cafes at rishikesh. must visit

situated on the other side of lakshman jhula. a bit pricey if you're on a budget but has pretty good food and a great view! loved the hummus! authentic intasteand texture (i've spent 15 yrs in the middle east). haven't found it this good in other cities. tables were well spaced out to have your privacy. can sit here for hours just watching and listening to the sound of ganga flowing underneath.

visited the famous ganga view cafe at rishikesh.

located right opposite the lakshman jhula this is a beautiful place located on the banks of river ganga

we tried cheese sticks , chocolate cheese cake, mexican pasta.

the staff is extremely helpful and food with the view concept is absolutely mind-blowing.

the food in itself is a little bland for indiantastebuds.

place has good ambiance & view one should go but the foodtastecan be more better .. cold coffee was amazing but the pasta and hammus pitta was not upto the mark but good to eat .. staff were amazing .. one can chill with frnds and family .. kids would love the place as well as its spacious enough.. one must try once when in rishikesh so overall ratings

ambiance- 4/5

sorry to say that the absolute worst food i’ve had in rishikesh, if not all of india (!!!) was served by ganga view cafe. believe me when i say the good reviews here are because of the view and not the cuisine. 

the meal in question was “sweet and sour vegetable tofu”. the contents of this dish? 6 pineapple chunks, 2 sliced mushrooms, a quartered 1/2 inch length of cucumber, half of a sliced tomato, and 5-6 sad, flavorless pieces of tofu in a pile of slimy sauce, flanked by 100 grams of rice. thetasteof the sauce was unspeakably bad, like sweet pizza sauce with too much pepper. the presence of pineapple (the most abundant ‘vegetable’) was baffling and totally unwarranted in the peppery slime. it was disgusting to the point of being inedible. 

was there a mistake? certainly not. when asked, the waiter confirmed, in his words, there was actually meant to be “not much veggie” in the dish called “vegetable tofu”. while i guess half of a tomato and 4 pieces of cucumber technically qualifies as “vegetable”, it doesn’t in any way represent an acceptable meal to serve for 190 rupees.

the portion size was pathetically small for such an expensive price. about half the amount of what you’d get in the restaurants nearby (no kidding). 

so if you’d like to sip a coffee and look at the ganga, this may be the place for you. however, if you’d like to eat something reasonably named, priced, portioned, or not tasting of expired ketchup — run far, far away from the ganga view cafe.

ps. the menu prices on zomato photos are wrong. they have uniformly raised all the prices (by like 50rs.) while keeping the portions small.

finding a good place in rishikesh was difficult. it wa sthe only cafe where i could get mytastefood.
also the best part was view.
we ordered oat meal, sandwich, oreo shake, cold coffee and brischeetas.the quanity andtastewas good.

so this place comes with a ganga view ,we went for lunch and ordered a plenty of dishes ljm3 hummus and pita ,and few varieties of indian cuisine, hummus was terrible i have no idea with indian cuisine as i didn'ttasteit , but even though food goes wrong sometimes, service can cure it but that's the worst part the waiter completely avoided us , for our parcel we had to take the food till the kitchen ,, would never visit again.
