shiva cafe

food was average but the view was mesmerizing.
this place is famous among travellers. to reach there, you have to trek for about half an hour from bhagsu waterfall.
the food is not that great but the vibes you get after reaching there are just soo good.
if you are in mcleod, you should definitely go there....not for food but the view and vibes.

this is indeed a difficult place to reach. on the way to bhagsu nag, there is a diversion which will take you here. the cafe is on top of the waterfall and around 700m of climb. but once you reach there, you’d realise it’s worth the climb. the view is fantastic and the food matches that. we ordered a veg maggi, pasta and nutella pancake. the pancake and pasta were really good. the place was bouncing with great music as well. one can easily spend a couple of hours just sitting and chilling here. definitely should visit if you’re going to bhagsu nag.

shiva cafe is very well known among travellers. this cafe is not about food or taste, this place is all about view or how you get there after a half an hour trek. you have to cross the bhagsu waterfall to get which is the most beautiful thing about this place. place has a very peaceful environment. food is below average but you'll love to have food there with this kind of environment. must visit place if you are in mcleodganj.

probably one of the best places i've visited.
came back from kareri trek.
comforting place. good food. great environment.
must visit for anyone visiting mcleodganj

okay,so shiva cafe is so famous among certain circles (ahem) that it's not so much about the food as the entire experience. getting their can be a bit difficult as you have to climb along the bhagsu waterfall.
the location is brilliant,the artwork and decor even more so. it has a very chilled attitude,and is great for the munchies. i had their customary bowl of chicken maggi and a cup of honey lemon ginger tea.
we basically hung about for a couple of hours and enjoyed the music and the view,what with being so high ( up in the mountains, i mean).
climb high to reach shiva. will be worth it.

this place is situated near the waterfall, after about 20 minutes of walk from market. the incline is a bit steep. so, won't suggest for old people. the service was horrible, actually. the staff seemed arrogant and understaffed. though the ambience more than makes up for it

shiva cafe is a very popular place with the travelers and rightly so. it's a short trek away (around 1 hour) from the main mcleodganj market. the trek is quite easy and has decent views.

the ambience is brilliant at the cafe with trippy posters, art work, and books all around you. the staff is amazing to talk with. you can play your own music on request however the default music is also amazing!

coming to food you must try their desserts, their chocolate bomb and pancakes are delicious!!

you can also try having a go at a variety of exotic teas available at the location. the rates might seem a little high however i would give them the benefit of doubt owing to their relatively remote location.

so overall don't visit this place only for the food. visit for the overall experience of the journey as well as the destination. it's quite a soothing experience and a must do on visiting mcleodganj.

awsomazing is the word for this cafe..hardly 15 mins walk uphills from bhagsunag falls.. this picture friendly place has a beautiful ambience.. perfect view.. delicious food..peaceful.. courteous staff.. we had mushroom soup and sweet and sour soup.. which were amazing.. i dint expect mushroom soup to be that heavenly in an isolated cafe uphills.. also we had vegetable noodles and wood oven pizza.. noodles were kinda desi style bt was good to taste.. pizza was also enjoyable.. all in all must visit place when you are in mcleodganj..

view 10/10
ambiance 10/10
food didn't tried
service -10/10
we tracked towards shiva cafe from bhagsu nath . after reaching there we realised the reason why people love to track. we tried to order something for us but waiters and biller of the cafe are too busy they didn't take order. after spending almost 30min we unable to place order so we decided to track down. very bad experience.

a beautiful cafe located in the hills of dharamshala, the cafe is based on the name of lord shiva, the place also serves sheesha , the music of the place is so trance that you cannot just leave this place, the food is too cheap and really good with taste, they serve many varieties from chinese to mexican. we had noodles, momos and mexican enchiladas all of the cusine were too good in taste. totally value for money great place.

reaching this place was very tough as it is located on altitude.. the place offers hookah. we had ordered pizzas and other stuff. food was not bad. the best thing about this place is the ambience. it has a very different vibe. great music was being played.

shiva cafe, the most popular place in mcleodganj is worth a visit.
approximately around 6000ft high, shiva cafe has a beautiful view.
the ambience is nice.
talking about the food, almost 98% of people order maggi, so we did the same. we ordered plain and veg maggi, black coffee, coffee, and a non-veg maggi.
the food was good.

overall - very good

good things first-menu is very good, has a lot of varieties and food is very delicious.we ordered pizza and sizzlers for veg, pizza had 8 slices and had thin crust.for sizzlers,the quantity was little less but the taste was good.
some negatives-the café is located at a height which is difficult to reach.so when you are hungry and planning to go to cafe, by the time you reach there you are famished and after having belly full meal by the time you reach down, you are hungry again! waiters are less so service is slow.mocktails are kind of okayish.

overall-good

cafe is located way up... it's hard to reach there to be honest... and food ain't any way close to the exertion you take jus to reach this cafe... and if food being bleh wasn't enough, the waiter didn't even know how to behave with his customers... what a rude chap... i was highly irritated with their services n behaviour... would never ever recommend a place like shiva cafe to anyone...

first of all , you will have to struggle a lot to reach this place because one has to walk for more than a kilometer to reach this cafe, no vehicles are allowed to reach this place. it took us around 20 minutes to reach this place. the ambience and the vibe of this place is quite worth it. i loved the music. we ordered farmhouse pizza which was delactable and 1 chicken pizza which was average.
