Ambience is really good, food is also delicious. We loved spending time there. Our little boy also enjoyed the time spent there.Only suggestion would be for waiters taking the orders. If guest is ordering multiple items together, try to check whether they want all together or one by one. As we assumed they will bring our menu one by one but they kept it all together which makes us not enjoying the hot food and our taste got spoiled.I would recommend their Chicken Supreme pizza, Classic Cold Coffee and Desi Chai to everyone. It was delicious.

One star for the ambience and food, rest the services are highly poor. The staff is unprofessional, least informed and trained for hospitality. I visited this place with my wife thinking of a relaxing dinner during my stay in Rishikesh, but this place is definitely not up to the mark. Try 60’s cafe guys, you will love it!

Great food, peaceful ambience and I loved the seating arrangement. Perfect place to relax and a have a long meal. Quite reasonably priced as well.

If you are staying in zostel or the hosteller in rishikesh, then this is a must visit cafe as its walking distance from your place.. I visited this cafe for the first time and totally love the vibe of the place.. The staff is friendly n nice .. Interiors is simple yet elegant. They have outdoor seating as well. Overall an amazing cafe but a little offbeat . best place for couples n family to have a peaceful time .. Cheers ..Follow on insta - Indian.travel.blogger

Nice food and ambience. Desserts are a must try.

Place looks amazing. You cant find a good view from hotel. But restaurant will be good. I suggest you to go at night time for an romantic dinner😉.Food is little bit costly & quantity also not that much.Taste wise is also good but not extraordinary.They will take more time to get ready the food. So have enough time and go. Best for friends,couples who needs to spend more time can go and have food 😀

This place is heaven on earth. Its a rewarding place to spend hours after a steep climb. The scenery is amazing, the seating and decor is amazing, the menu is amazing. We would spend hours in here just eating and looking at the scenic beauty. The menu is truly international and everything is done well. We had a Mexican chicken cheesy dish which we went back to eat multiple times in a 2 day visit - it was that good.

Rishikesh, being a holy place, makes it tough for people like me who are die hard non-vegetarians. Most of the cafes serve vegan and vegetarian dishes, which tastes great too, but that craving when you see kebabs or biriyani? Anyways, so Bistro Nirvana does serve non-vegetarian food items and it sure was a much needed meal on the last day of my 2 weels Uttarakhand trip. Had quessadilla, kebab, chicken biriyani, and naan with a local mutton curry preparation and costed us 1500 bucks for 3 people which was pretty economical considering the amount of food we had for lunch. Its in upper Rishikesh and youd have to walk uphill for like 50 mts from where the auto will leave you. Not too steep, so, you wont have much trouble reaching here.

This is located in Rishikesh uphill. The cafe serves good food and has a comfortable sitting arrangement. Preferable time to go in September as its too hot to sit in June without AC after a small trek. Do try are the mutton curry, special sweet dish, soups

This place is really amazing... Great Ambience.. full of tranquility and super tasty food...Menu is really good and every thing is presented very nicely...Mr Pankaj and his team are amazing people.. We celebrated my wifes birthday and they made it memorable...A must visit if you are in Rishikesh...

Best place to eat.. food quality is up to the mark.Best Rishikesh.. one must first time. Best is they dont allow alcohol

The place is a bit away from the main road and its about a 100-200 meter little hike. When you reach the place, you find an outside and indoor seating. We took the tables outside and ordered a cold coffee and ice cream. The cold coffee came at a room temperature and we had to ask them to put some ice in it. The fruit ice-cream was good.One can find here some non-vegetarian options which are rare in main town of Rishikesh. The seating area outside appealed the most to me. It was calm and peaceful under the shade.Some monkeys lurk around the area but nothing to worry the staff shoo them away for you.

In Rishikesh, went to this place twice. The food was good in the first try late night but not so good in the day time on my second visit. Panner Wrap, Garlic Cheese Pizza, Chinese Noodles were all good options.

The seats are made of fabric and you need to climb onto it to sit comfortably.I felt it quite unhygienic as dirt fro everyones leg might stick onto it.My pasta was not good at all and was very dry especially the chicken and the food was bland.The lemonade was amazing.However people were flocking to the restaurant for some reason.But for me the decor and setting was nice but then the product needs to be worked on.

Ambience was very good, food was tasty with good portion.....The only thing which I felt uncomfortable was during the order, it was late and the restaurant should apologise for that but the staff rudely replied which we felt wrong... But overall nice place do visit....

One of the best places with best ambiance to visit on holiday❤️

A chicken lover finding for good chicken dishes in Rishikesh? Then this is the place you can go to .Good food for the best prices .Whats even better is the ambience and the sitting arrangements.Friends, families, couples . .. best place to dine out.Also the service is super good with food that is tasty and worth the price.Would love to visit again.

Great food... Had food there twice... The first time was extremely awesum one of the best I have had but second time it was strictly good.We had Chicken kheema naan, Chicken chilly, Momo, Pahadi chicken in the morning & mama mia pizza, pasta chilly chicken, gulab jamun in the evng. A must try!!!

Ice tea was ice tea nd thats rare . Good setup and service , made nd projected well . The rout to reach is ok but then u will be surprised with the place and ambience. Tiramisu is awesome nd donuts are crazyyy

When you are presented with a quaint cafe serving amazing food by attentive waiting staff.... Then you are bound to be amazed.. Bistro Nirvana has very cosy interiors paired with some truly delicious food ...

Nice cozy sitting under the mango tree outside and on traditional gaadi inside. Food quality is good. In all, a wonderful experience. Place worth visiting once with family.

Not your quintessential Instagramable café, but unmissable when in town. 😍♥️

Awesome place nd food. Only the serving staff need to learn manners.

Good food, but nor Air conditioner.Staff was also good.

Amazing ambience to chill and try out various cuisines!

Coming from Delhi and after scouting the Himalayas, I cant certify that this is the place for tastiest food in Rishikesh. The ambience is amazing & seating marvelous. The owner himself is a very nice person to talk to. Its a must to go place once in your lifetime to attain Nirvana.

As I was staying at Zostel, Bistro Nirvana was our goto breakfast and dinner option over the vacation. The ambience is great, specially at night. Would highly recommend their Israeli menu options along with chicken skewers and chicken quesadilla. Amongst drinks Lemonana was my personal favorite. Also if you choose to visit, dont miss out on their cheese cake and tiramisu!!

Simply superb!!! Awesome place... Great ambience.. a little short on ventilation (if youre seated inside)... Otherwise super awesome place...The food is lavish, extremely tasty..The one thing which prevents me from giving a 5 star is pace of the service. The staff is ridiculously slow in service although they are very polite

Great ambience. The signature dish - mutton curry was very average.

Absolutely great place to visit. The service and portion sizes are very good. Cookies and coffee are also available for those who want to buy something from a nice cafe. The seating arrangement is lovely.

Lovely place, tasty and quality available there, must visit here (rishikesh)

This place has its ambience, situated near hosteller & Zostel (walking distance) youll see crowd here.I ordered kitkat shake & chicken 65 here.Shake was decent, chicken was spicy yet a little soaky (I mean dont we like chicken a little dry/crispy/fried when it comes to having it as a snack?)Chicken - 300Shake - 150One time try is enough IMO.

This place is really beautiful, I never dreamt of this side of Rishikesh. They have got beautiful a space. Perfect for friends family or someone special. Their mutton is awesome.

The place has some good food choices. They use fresh ingredients. I had Sandwich and falafel which were okay (I have had better). Dont expect the location to have outstanding ambiance or view (there is none). The place also doesnt have air-conditioned seating and it can get very hot and humid if you are visiting in summer/monsoon season. They put up portable fans and have wall mounted fans around but it doesnt help much in humid conditions. Overall, its okay to have a meal here if you are around but nothing exceptional here.

We were recommended by at least 3/4 people. When we went there, we liked the ambience later we ordered shawarma, some kind of tikka and 1 more Mexican dish, all tasteless only food looking good but the taste is not good at all. Later we did not order any other main courses we straight away left and went to another restaurant called Pink cafe must go there. Extremely good food there, it is just opposite this restaurant. Please dont go here, the menu, photos and ambience is attracting but the food is not good.

Bistro Nirvana in rishikesh, uttrakhand.It is in area which is surrounded by zostels where people around the world come for affordable stays.The location and ambience is superb, we tried thepsa soup, pasta, chicken indian sizzlers, the taste was amazing and economically the rate was quite affordable.In dessert we tried Hello to the queen ice cream and it was just amazing.Anyone can come there and spend time and also work here while having food, many tourists prefer to stay there and visit bistro nirvana.If you are in rishikesh the you must have to visit thia place.

A nice place in a beautiful location. A nice cozy atmosphere with good food & music. One of the few cafes in Rishikesh where you actually get tasty food. Also, you can get non-vegetarian food here (Hard to get in Rishikesh). Overall, would recommend a visit once.

Excellent food. Owner of the restaurant is great

Pros:Good staffing.Food was served on time.Food was tasty.Cons:Hand wash area was far from the restaurant.Mutton was to be cooked little extra.

Worst experience ever. The food, the ambience and the staff. Nothing really contributed to the evening.So bad that I had to literally stop my orders and leave the food as it is.One star goes to the cleanliness though.

I ordered chicken sinner burger and Chinese sizzler with pina colada and nirvana punch juice. The food was complete waste. The service was very slow, nobody listened as if we guests are just a liability. The burger was cold and no taste. The sizzler tasted stale and smelly. It is all hyped by stupid vlogger. Kindly don’t go here it’s complete waste of time and money.

Pathetic Bistro... Over hyped as hell... No hygiene at all... We sat there for 15 min and no one gave us menu; we had to ask for that. Then no one attended us to take our order . Again we had to shout out several times to get their attention (plz note the place is very small and could be heard from every tiny corner)I ordered Chinese veg sizzler and nirvana punch for myself and my husband ordered chicken sinner burger plus pinnacolada.... The burger was served cold and tasteless after 40 min of wait and sizzler came after another 15 min. Noodles in sizzler were stale I guess. It was tooo smelly and pungent in taste. Infact, everything of the platter- chilly potato, some kind of manchurian, fried rice ..was disgusting to eat!!! Total waste of money and time.n yeah I forgot to mention...the furniture is broken from many places as well...Ambiance- 2/10Food- 1/10Service- 1/10

The ambiance is just amazing.The service was slow, I ordered a veg pizza and a starter, pizza was not up to the mark, but starter was amazing.

Awesome experience of stay awesome food specially pahadi mutton curry and banoffee pie their specially home made.... Awesome ambience staff and crowd

Good food,better ambience, a place for relaxation👍

Food wer good, better view in night.Loving it

Nice place to stay and spend quality time with your friends .Kaafi sukoon hai full vibe hai . If you are visiting rishikesh do check out this cafe , you are absolutely gonna love the ambience and the food .

Loved it, delicious meal overall. Go for butter chicken I truly loved it, kadai chick was lil spicy so opt wisely and specific with requirement.Overall good ambience, lil walk you need to do for delicious food.Advice, park your car near hill, dont think to drive near cafe. ;)

One of the best cafes in entire rishikeshHighly recommended for those who arent vegan and loves to eat chickenLooking forward to visit again 😀

The place serves great tasty food, there is no parking, but thats okay, must go there and get a malai kofta, its the best i have had in Rishikesh, and later top it with a milky bar chapatti, only thing changed this year was the amount of Nutella in the desserts, there was none. I dont like that now.

Good place good food.Slightly difficult to reach.I would recommend it to anyone who visits Rishikesh.

Superb is the word.Ambience, staff, cuisine and taste all of them are second to none. While the location is little difficult in terms of accessablity but once you are there its worth the effort.Try Ma ma mia pizza here!

It was amazing.. Food quality was also nice but very good place to go in rishikesh

Nice place with good food definitely must visit place , make sure you have time as food preparation takes a lot time . Sit inside as outside birds can create problem

Good food but too crowded..service is good.Indoor seatingValue for money!

Ordered chicken greek salad...one raw insect was found in that..... pathetic experience...we showed the insect to the manager...He taken this very normally..At the end , he just deducted the price of greek salad without any regret.

Bad food quality. Unhygienic place. Too Expensive for such quality. We ordered tandoori momos which were not at all fresh. The pizza was of no taste and the base was so crunchy. It was my first time and my best friend birthday. Food quality ruined everything.

Great ambiance, 300 meters walk.Chicken biryani 5 starPeanut butter shake 1 starExpensive menu and demotivated/ sad staff

Food Quality is very bad & ambiance is not also upto the work . Service is good .

Loved the Food & the Ambience...

Lovely Place. Tasty food. No views. But is cool and calm.

Best food in town and the staff is amazing! They are so caring and helpful... Everyone smiles and the place is wonderful!

Great place to be, especially during late afternoons or evenings. And food is good.

Located right beside Zostel and Hosteller, you will find diverse crowd. Ambiance is good enough, seating is comfy though. I would rate food to be above average still one of the best in the Rishikesh and tapovan area.Most importantly, one of the very very few restaurants to serve Non-veg in Rishikesh.

Best view Best place Best food in rishikesh loved it

I felt it would be a good place to visit after all the below mentioned reviews..But I am extremely disappointed with the ambience only wall fans are operational no air conditioning and the service was also late by more then 1.5 hours..I would suggest not to opt for this place if your visit is for couple of days,otherwise your whole day would be spoiled after the visit.

Best in town as we love the cheese and the ambience bit walkable distance as it is located in inner side of a lane

Do try the Classic Margherita Pizza!! The fried momos we also yummy! The pink sauce pasta was ok!! But the pizza is awesome!!We hogged twice in the bistro!! The place has a cozy vibe!! Literally food nirvana!!

Amazing experience. Sitting arrangement was superb and the food was fab👍🏻

Its always great to be back to this place. Nothing like that

I was in Varanasi exploring cafes for a week. This is the best cafe I have been to! Amazing food .. Amar was such a good host. Mexican cheese something is a must try . Love the interiors

My first meal here: aglio olio pasta and Ganga garlic pizza were disappointing. But maybe the Bistro is better with their non-veg dishes.

Great ambience, great food. Only problem for travelers is to get cabs here and reach.

I love the place ambiance and atmosphere is nice Ana relaxing , place is clean . I have been going there couple of years but unfortunately not sure what happened to their food .The food unfortunately is now a days taste less ..

Good place for Non Veg Food in Rishikesh. Little hard to reach.

An interesting place. Rustic decor. They have seating outdoors as well as indoors and a multicuisine menu. Importantly, they have meat on their menu which is a big deal in Rishikesh! We had the Pollo Pesto pizza, Chicken Pozole, Pahadi mutton and Garlic Naan. For drinks we tried the peanut butter chocolate shake and red miracle ( carrot, beet root , celery). The drinks were good but the food ( esp the pozole ) was a bit of a miss. We ended our meal with some lemon, ginger and honey tea which was superb! Service was a bit slow. We weren’t mighty impressed but will definitely give this place one more go.

Good food, anbient atmosphere, mix of traditional and modern restro, recommended:)

Its a very very good place to hang out for long time with so much cosy seating arrangement and good non veg items at Rishikesh in a very reasonable rate. Love to had lunch and dinner both at the end of our trip days during vacation. Staffs are also very well mannered. It put 👌👌👌👌👌to them

Ambience is great. But food is pretty average. The tiramisu is amazing though do try it.

Two stars because we had a mixed experience, 4 stars for the ambience, negative two for the following incident, we had ordered Indian Sizzlers and Lasagne, sizzler was served within twenty minutes and we were so busy in having that we did not even realize we were served something different instead of lasagne, as soon as we had first slice we were aware that it was a PIZZA, lol, now the waiter also realized and came to us to have the following convo.Some supervisor came and told us since they have already prepared lasagne, we would want to have it, we said no , we are not hungry anymore and dont want lasagne. Then he told us it was complimentary because it was their mistake to mix up the order.We said what if we dont wanna take it, and would it be deducted from waiters salary, all of sudden the cashier came in with the bill and all three itmes were there with GST.I was shocked , the guy who had mentioned it was complimentary was no where to be found.. and they said since we had taken a slice we have to pay for it, else it would be deducted from the waiters wage. This baffled us, and we were not getting honest replies, we were not sure if there was any such rule, where the loss had to be compensated from the waiters salary. We asked the cashier to call the owner, he refused.. Overall, people might take advantage of your nature, we just did not want the waiter to suffer for a simple human mistake..

Always my fav place to eat when in Rishikesh and craving for non veg 😍🙌Clean cool and awesome service by the boys.Food is always taste at best,try Masala chai, mutton curry,pad thai noodles and sizzlers its worth it. And end with a warm lemon honey water to soothe the digestion 😀Always coming back when in Rishikesh 💞

Nice place to try some unique food।

One of the best places to visit in rishikesh, if you are looking for some good food. The atmosphere is calm and serene. They have a good menu too, with a wide range of variety. If you are planning to go this place, make sure you have cash in your pocket because they dont accept cards or digital payment.

Nice vibe about this place , food is good but dont expect anything out of this world 😅😅

Ambience is goodFood is lovelyEating in squatting position is definitely a different experienceFlies are disturbing.Power generator back up is worth noticing

One of the best in tapovan ...Amazing;delicious;outstanding food ....enjoy every bit of food.

Great food and ambience. The chicken schnitzel is amazing.

Very private, simple decor, great service and some lip smacking food. Must try the pahari mutton

Best place to eat if you are in rishikesh. Must visit place in rishikesh

They have outside seating without any arrangement for summer. As its not a pet friendly restaurant, one of us had to sit outside with our dog. The inside seating is so messed up. Half of the seating is okay. The other half is made in such a way that u have to take off ur shoes to sit and there isnt much space to sit. Very cramped up. It is definitely not a family restaurant. It is not okay for seniors too. My mother in laws knees were hurting. My 5 year old couldnt sit easily too. Services was pathetic. Took over an hour to serve food. Food taste was above average but the experience ruined everything.

Amazing Food! Cannot have anything better if in or around Rishikesh.Just try anything and you will not be disappointed!Cheers!

Good place to have non veg...ambience is also good

If you are in Rishikesh this is a must visit cafe with the most fantastic crew and ambiance.

Amazing place for dine....Best tandoori chicken I have ever had!!

Lovely place with lovely Ambience, Chilly Chicken is a must try😍

Situated at tapovan, the bistro is in a very narrow lane from the main road, the ambience is the very first thing i liked while entering, its quaint with soothing music, food is also good. We had aalo Paranthas, veg sandwich, scrambled eggs with hummus everything tastes fine.

Nice place, awsome atmosphere there. and main part is nice cushion. go for it. and they have speciality in israeli food.

Nice place to have great food. Reaching the pace might be a bit challenging but the ambiance is awesome.

Great ambiance, nice sitting, light music. Best to visit at night coz of their dim light decor. Food was ok ok. Not that good as I expected it to be. We ordered veg Chinese sizzler. Its was ok not that good. We ordered pahadi mutton gravy and naan that was good and well cooked. We also ordered afgani chicken and chicken pizza. The quality of chicken in both the was not at all good. It was like uncooked raw chicken. Rest the staff and services was good.

Disgusting peoplesNot even picking up the phoneThe location provided is not useful.
