Chotiwala Restaurant

The walk with a view of Maya Devi Temple is what you can expect after dining at this restaurant. Chotiwala Restaurant offers Indian and Vegetarian dishes. The truth is that you will really enjoy nicely cooked dal makhani, paneer and chole bhature. Being at this place, order good gulab jamun, pancakes and pudding. Get your meal started with great lassi, coffee or masala chai.

The cool staff reflects the style and character of this spot. Spectacular service is something that people note in their reviews. Most reviewers say that prices are low for what you receive. The terrific decor and peaceful atmosphere let clients feel relaxed here. But google users rated this restaurant and it didn't get 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
