machan

wat a fabulous place . i sat here after 15 yrs n still it has kept it's taste n service intact .
more than d food , wat attracted me was d service by mr arjun who politely took orders , got my items delivered n even packed sone potion left.

set with scenic lake by its side , i was greeted with neat n cosy interiors , some 8 tables n tidy tables n cutlery.

ordered d awesome "kheera raita" n mind u , it ain't anything one prepares at home by cutting kheera . infact , kheera was mildly fried with jeera n few spices n mixed to give it such a different taste . lovely .

next up , d softest rotis ever . ones that can be easily broken with a finger .
also ordered mix veg , a great preparation .

not to forget , i didn't have to ask waiter to get , onion/green chutney / pickle . all provided at d start only .

m so very happy. looking forward to try ur other fares sometime in future

this place is a must visit for anyone heading to the city of lakes. they have such great variety of food. almost all the restaurants here serve the same variety of breakfast, i really liked the channa bhatura here. will head there again, when in the city :)

i would like to praise this restaurant for three important reasons:

1. courteous staff - akhilesh was a great host to talk to!
2. food quality - for a 4n stay in bhimtal/nainital, we had dinner for 3 nights in a row. in particular, i loved their chicken manchow soup, and murg masala curry.
3. ambience is always a crucial factor to get that first impression right. the location is on the bhimtal - nainital bypass road, and you get plenty of parking spots available. also, i do not want to miss praising the bonfire arrangements that we were provided with.

what to improve - keep up the good work the way you do. who knows we might be opening a restaurant together someday :)

thank you akhilesh - from rani sahiba @ delhi

so glad to find this place. this place look ordinary but is amazing. simple and elegant!
on the last day of our trip we decided to try this place. and it was a good idea.
the veg hot & sour soup is sooo soul satisfying!
the pizza is amazing too. the indian is good too though the salt in dal was less.
prompt service. good portions.
all and all it’s a-one!

great place for hangout with friends or family

they serve desi indian food with such amazing flavours that will remind you of the food straight out of your own kitchen. soft buttered rotis and paneer cooked with an indian tadka , mouthwatering!!! 
overall had great experience here.

to enjoy an authentic indian desi style lunch, this place fits perfectly!
the quantity of the paneer served seemed to be a bit less according to the price but it was really yummy. full of spices, with butter roti and a glass of cold drink ,this is the place to enjoy a great meal!! ❤️

service was very poor. it took around 50min just for a pasta and the quality of food was not upto the mark after waiting so long.even dishes were overpriced.we ordered cheese and tomato pasta but there was no cheese and vegetables. even the lady owner doesn't bother when we complaint and was showing attitude.she said don't come next time it you don't like it

the staff was good, food was delicious. we ordered iced tea, fresh lime soda, dal makhani , manchurian dry and gravy one later and butter naan. i went here because of good rating. everything was fairly good. the only thing which was bad was dry manchurian. it's outer surface was super hard, couldn't chew on. so left that. one can see beautiful naini lake sitting beside window while eating. the moonlit stream makes it amazing to experience.

been here on a rainy night and got seated on the window side with a great view of lake! 😍
staff was friendly and service was good.
we ordered tandoori chicken which was okayish as it lacked the juiciness of chicken. in the main course, we ordered chatpata chicken punjabi style which was really great as it had a rich chatpati gravy and chicken pieces in it were excellent and perfectly cooked. for anyone visiting here, chatpata chicken is a must try!! 🤩

there is no other place in this town which is the best as this restraunt. this place has a great lake view n it's a family place. i love all the food items but my favourite is the kali mirch chicken and the mutton biryani 😍

visited here during trip to nanital. its located on mall road. they have few table where you can get view of lake. it was cold weather so decided to try their coffee and burger which was value for money.

bang on one of the ends of mall road, machan is one of the countless restaurants littered around the place vying for customers. although it caters to both chinese and indian, the chinese cuisine is what the locals suggest one should try. after sampling their food i can safely state there's nothing dramatic to write about and although their takeaway proportions are huge coupled with its pristine location by the lake it still doesn't do enough to warrant a second visit...

love this place😘😍😍 amazing delicious food.loved the most is the manchurian and chiliy chicken and chiliy panner most. every one should visit and taste the tasty food

went to the place for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the great views of nainital lake from the restaurant.food is extremely delicious and service prompt.the helpings are also plentiful and we ended up packing half of the food coz we were unable to finish it. tried chicken lollipop along with chicken sweet and sour soup for starters and had chicken kadai, chicken chowmein and paneer parantha. overall, highly recommended restaurant.
