Cafe Nirvana Laxmanjhula

Located in Upper Tapovan near Zostel & The Hosteller. It is a bit far from main Tapovan Market, that street above might look haunting at night if you go solo. Found it overpriced and portion size is also less. Pizza took a lot of time to get prepared and was not good. Tried 3 items from their menu - 1. Chinese Vegetarian Sizzler (INR 320) - Liked it, small portions of Fried Rice, Noodles, Chilli Paneer, Mushroom 2. Big Mama Mia Pizza (INR 350) - Not recommended at all, no taste, cheese was also not good 3. Fresh Lemon Soda (INR 70) - Very refreshing, Must try Washrooms are available in the back side. Date of Visit - 20th November, 2023

Best part of this place is- They are PET FRIENDLY… it was a real tough time searching for a place where we could take our pet dog along with. Called them and they confirmed that they are indeed pet friendly and pets are allowed in the open air area. They were nice to my pet and they also honoured our request to give him a couple of boiled eggs to eat.

Good food, great service, cozy ambience with just the right level of lighting and good music...what more could one ask for??? That's what Bistro Nirvana is all about, in a nutshell! This bistro has both, indoor and outdoor seating, and is very cool place to hang out. The indoor seating is very unconventional, as the sofas that face each other on either side of a table, are placed edge to edge. Hence, with no room to let your legs hang over the edge, you will need to either sit cross legged or outstretch your legs on one side, as there is no scope to rest your feet on the ground. Enjoyed the twist in the seating, because it is one of a kind! The pasta is great - a must try, and the Blueberry Cheesecake is also good. The Veg. burger, although made of very fresh and soft buns, is average. The patty can be crispier and overall tastier. The staff is pleasant, energetic, enthusiastic and very honest too. Although we dropped some currency notes a couple of times, different staff members pointed it out to us and one of them even picked it up and handed it over. The only dampner is the road leading up to this place; it is quite bumpy and uphill. If you are on a bike, you will be a bit stirred up by the time you get there. However, the experience thereafter is nothing but pleasant and worthwhile. We will definitely hit this place again the next time we are in Rishikesh, mainly for the Pasta, desserts, ambience and overall experience!

Food and environment was very good. My suggestion the people visit would be if you are in four wheeler park your car on main road ( don’t go all the way to the restaurant).

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The café's cozy interior, adorned with tasteful décor, creates a pleasant environment for patrons to unwind and enjoy their meal. The friendly staff adds to the overall positive experience, providing attentive and prompt service with a genuine smile. Aside from the delectable food, the café also offers a serene and picturesque outdoor seating area. Nestled amidst the natural beauty of Rishikesh, patrons can enjoy their meal while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It's the perfect spot to unwind, soak in the tranquil atmosphere, and enjoy a moment of relaxation.
