Right after seeing Maya Devi Temple, come here for a meal. It's great to try Indian and Vegetarian cuisines. Taste nicely cooked dal makhani, masala dosa and paneer to form your opinion about this restaurant. Come here for tasty gulab jamun, pancakes and pudding if you are hungry. Most likely, you'll come back to Chotiwala Restaurant later to degust good lassi, coffee or masala chai.
Many people point out that the staff is creative at this place. Enjoyable service is something that visitors highlight in their reviews. The reviews of this place mention inflated prices to be paid here. You will certainly like the peaceful atmosphere and nice decor. But most clients who use Google didn't grant this spot a high rating.

Iconic Place, but Needs Improvement Chotiwala Restaurant in Swarg Ashram, Rishikesh is a landmark vegetarian restaurant that’s been around since 1958. It's known for its pure-veg food, especially the Punjabi thali, and its iconic “Chotiwala” mascot sitting at the entrance. What I Liked: The place has a traditional Indian vibe, with a spiritual Ganga-side location. The variety of North Indian vegetarian dishes is impressive. Prices are moderate – a thali costs around ₹200–₹250, which is decent for tourists. But here's the truth: Service is slow, especially during lunch hours. We waited over 25 minutes between dishes. Hygiene and cleanliness need improvement — the wash area wasn’t well maintained. No clear menu prices — they served items without us ordering and later charged for them. Honestly, the food taste was average, not matching the hype or history. Tips before you visit: Visit during non-peak hours to avoid waiting. Ask for a printed menu or confirm prices before ordering. If you're here for the experience or photos, it's worth a try — but for foodies, there are better veg spots in Rishikesh. Overall: A nostalgic and historic stop, but not a must-visit for great food. Go for the legacy, stay if you like the vibe — just manage your expectations. #ChotiwalaRishikesh #VegetarianRestaurant #GangaViewFood #RishikeshFoodReview #ThaliLovers Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ₹200–400 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Dal Makhani Vegetarian offerings: Menu is all vegetarian
