After seeing Maya Devi Temple, come here for a meal. The piquant flavours of Indian and Vegetarian cuisines attract many guests. A lot of people have noticed that you can have good chole bhature, naan and masala dosa here. Check out tasty gulab jamun, pancakes and pudding this restaurant offers. It's nice to taste delicious coffee, masala chai or lassi.
The success of Chotiwala Restaurant wouldn't be possible without the energetic waitstaff. Spectacular service is something visitors like here. A number of reviewers think that the dishes are offered for adequate prices. You will appreciate the beautiful decor and calm ambiance of this place. But this spot is not highly appreciated by Google users who provided it a below average rating.

When we went, it wasn't crowded around 14:30 & got busy after a while. Food is very good, no second thoughts. Service is fantastic for such a small place. No unnecessary talks or bothering one's privacy. The food served is also hot right out of the fire. Chole was amazingly delicious although the rice could've been boiled a bit more, but nothing to complain about. Overall, the food is very good, no doubt, but their service is what I really appreciate which is rare these days. And the price? I think the price is at par with similar restaurants on that street. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

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
