the patio restaurant is a definite go-to place for anyone who enjoys good food, super landscapes, peaceful serene surroundings along with warm and courteous staff.

ambience: the restaurant is a patio restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. the cane lampshades along with the green plants and the yellow napkins - add warmth to the interiors. i would give it 4/5.

food: the menu is interesting mix ofdishesfrom various states of india. this is indeed a refreshing change from most menus.
drinks: the smoked chaatch is a must try. i would give it 5/5.
appetisers: the dahe ke kebab, paniyaram, chilly paneer were all exceptional
main course: the palak parathas with dal, biryani, burger, sandwich, pizza- all were exceptional.

a must visit place when you are in rishikesh !

we went there for a family dinner, this is one of the best fine dining restaurant. everything thing was perfect - view,service,food! we ordered paneer tikka in starter - it was very fresh and well cooked.
in main course we ordered rajma chawla and daal makhni with palak and mirchi parantha. both of thedishestasted were delicious. even there white butter was very fresh and nice.
in desert we ordered moong dal halwa and gulab jamun. both were awesome.
food quality and taste was too good.

they had live music too which was icing on the cake !


bill for 4 people was around 2700.

we stayed at the place while visiting rishikesh and this was the place where we had our dinners. 
the place is beautiful, nestled within the shivalik hills. the breathtaking mountains and flowing ganges provide a sense of serenity. 

ambiance of the location is incomparable. and the place is perfect for a romantic getaway and candle lit dinner with live singing :-). an experience that will be remembered for a long time. 

pricing wise - the price is on the higher side for thedishesand the quantity. but given the place and services offered the pricing is kind of justified.

thedishesat the place are named after the places that ganges visits/ flows through and the menu comprises of the famousdishesfrom each of the place respectively.  
coming to the food part: 
soups: 
1. tomato soup: did not leave an impression. seemed a little uncooked to me. the best part were the cut garlic kind of raw that came into the mouth that would lend the much needed flavor to the soup. can be definitely missed. i will rate is as a 2/5
2. lemon coriander: i have had much much better versions of this soup. the lemon had been added so much that the soup had become bitter and i could not taste the coriander that this soup is known for. it was only lemon. the cabbage added was fibrous and not edible. this soup too i would rate it as 2/5

main course: 
margarita pizza: safe play. this was thin crust pizza. very tasty perfectly cooked with generous amount of cheese. i rate it as 4/5

garhwali platter: this comprised of dal, rice, pyaaz tamatar ki sabzi, alloo ki sabzi, chutney 1 with salt, jeera, hari mirch and chutney 2 with salt, and red colored (dont know the exact ingredients). 
dal and rice were very tasty, the pyaaz-tamatar sabzi lip smacking. the two chutneys with generous amount of salts lended extra flavour to the entire dish. 
this dish is a must have. 

hirsal platter that comprised of rajma and chawal: 
the chillis served with the rajma and rice were amazing. the rajma was average. 

ghat ki aloo sabzi: this was standard fare where tamatar ke shorbe ka aloo was served with puri, with hari chutney and tamatar ki meethi chutney. this dish was again average. 

overall the place is a must visit for experiencing the ambiance.

so i went to this patio - aloha on the ganges with my family... and i enjoyed the food there.. i have tasted manydisheshere and all are so good.. and best part to compliment was the presentation of the food which was super amazing.. i also like the service if this restaurant.. i surely wanna come again here🍕🥗🍛
