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
