Nice cafe.. Looking for a place which serves Chinese and Indian and also which has the best view of the valley so consider this place for sure on your list to visit. I had heard a lot about this cafe as they have three branches all over Uttarakhand so it was my first visit and I totally had a great time enjoying the food served to me. I will come back soon.

One of the best restaurants in this locality. Please Go there once! You won't regret it. The price is reasonable, the quality and quality is excellent. Location is prime. Ambience is good. In front of the petrol pump ⛽. Veg and non vegetarian food is available till 10pm. You can also sing songs over there. Spend time with friends and family. Happy vacation 💐

Food and ambience, if you need both of these top notch then this restaurant is for you. The view from the restaurant is mind blowing. Foods are tasty enough. I ordered Mutton Curry & Steamed Rice and it was mouth watering. Their service is also best in class, clean washrooms are available. Mutton curry is 500/- for 4 big size pieces which makes it perfectly value for money. I am sharing the photo and videos. You will see the ambience and the view as well. A highly recommended restaurant on the way to Nainital. Try the foods and enjoy.

This place is very well located. A neat and clean restaurant with convenient access for wheelchair and elderly. The service is courteous and quick. The food is good and flavourful though little extra oily but it's ok once in a while. We were there in the evening the view of the valley was amazing. The karaoke was entertaining. All in all a good experience.

A cute little cafe in bhimtal. Very nice ambiance with decent seating and open area seating overlooking the mountains. Food quantity and quality both are quite nice. The menu is extensive and quite varied. From indian to chinese and even continental is available at an apt pricing. The only drawback are the washrooms. Too small and not the best. A ventilation system for the washrooms is quite necessary and so for the kitchen drainage. (The area stinks)

In Bhimtal there isn't much good option for eat out. Machan is one of the good one, food taste average. Ordered dal makhani and kadhai panner, dal makhani was below average. Atmosphere is good and have both inside and outside sitting. Though view is not that great.

Must visit place when in Bhimtal. Let's start with staff. The only thing they can do better is service but I will give it to them because this restaurant is completely full at least on the peak meal times. When we went to this place around 3 pm, this place was completely full except 2 tables. But on the other side, the staff is friendly and will assist you once they get free from waiting other tables. Good things take time and this restaurant truly resembles this. Coming to the vibe of the place. Amazing. Music playing with so much crowd that you not feel at loss here. Families, friends, couples. You will find everyone here. The views from the restaurant is amazing. Scenic mountain views of ranges and you can also see Bhimtal lake from here. Now the crux of the matter. Food. Finger-licking. Such great taste and served with simple garnishing. Once you taste the food, you will not forget it for a very long time. This might be one of the best places in entire Uttarakhand to be honest. The prices are also not very expensive. You will get the value for your money here for sure. And the menu is so huge, there is some dish or the other for everyone here. Take my word and get to this place. For me this is a repeat restaurant whenever I am in Bhimtal.

WoW!!! Such an amazing experience 😍 Lovely ambience with delicious mouth licking food and amazing service. Tried yummy chicken Manchurian with fried rice and repeat it too. Would love to visit again and suggest everyone to visit atleast once.

Would recommend everyone to visit the restaurant as it's hygienic &mouth watering food can be tasted ❤️...do not miss chicken kali mirch,chicken rara ,Paratha,honey chilli potato, Schezwan noodles.. Avoid mutton as it doesn't taste good over there...

It's really nice to visit this restaurant and it was just a random selection by asking from locals where we can get the good non vegetarian food so they advised us 2 names in which this is the one where we stopped and had what we are craving for. So we had a good experience in terms of quality and the person who is taking orders is the humblest person who always has a good smile on hi face. So all in all food is good, have a wonderful view in there other section, have a good cozy space if you want a warm place to sit and enjoy your time with family and friends

Must try if you visit bhimtal and saat taal here. Butter roti is quite soft, curd was thick & amazing and paneer butter masala is delicious.

My family and I recently dined at Machaan in Bhimtal, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were pleased to find that they offered a high chair for our little ones, making our dining experience hassle-free from the get-go. The ambiance of the restaurant was truly exceptional, providing a serene and inviting atmosphere for diners of all ages. However, it was the culinary offerings that truly stole the show. We indulged in a variety of dishes including Malai Kofta, Paneer Tawa Masala, Dum Aloo Banarasi, Garlic Naan, Stuffed Kulcha, Fruit Cream, Gajar ka Halwa, and Gulab Jamun, and each item surpassed our expectations in terms of taste and presentation. Furthermore, the convenience of ample parking added to the overall positive experience. Despite the high-quality food and ambiance, we were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable pricing, making Machaan an excellent value for money. In conclusion, Machaan is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Bhimtal. We look forward to returning soon to indulge in their delectable offerings once again.

Very clean and nice looking restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and gave large portions and beautiful presentation. There was also a wide variety of different cuisines and sizes to choose from. Prices are closer to 300 rupees/person, but it is well-worth the cost and makes sense due to the portion size.

Nice place interms of location and ambience. At this price point they can improve the taste and quality little more.

Food was great, ingredients were fresh and pure The place sits along the road facing the valley with a view of the lake Place has a very relaxing vibe, they even do live music on weekends Prices were just right If you reach before 12pm, do order Gobhi ka tandoori paratha.. which will fuel you up for the day Overall - A fulfilling experience!

I recently dined at Machan Restaurant in Bhimtal, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a diverse menu with a focus on tasty Chinese and South Indian cuisine, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The highlights for me were the delicious noodles and mouthwatering Chinese dishes, as well as the flavorful South Indian offerings. The best part? It's all reasonably priced, making it a great value for the quality of food you receive. What truly sets Machan apart is its fantastic location. Nestled in the beautiful Bhimtal area, the restaurant provides a stunning backdrop of nature. The view adds to the overall dining experience, making it a memorable meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you're a local looking for a tasty meal or a visitor exploring Bhimtal, I highly recommend trying Machan Restaurant. It's a culinary gem that combines great taste, affordability, and a picturesque location for a memorable dining experience.

Visited this place last summer. Tried their cakes and coffee, and they were amazing. The baristas themselves were super nice. The vibe there is super cool, loved the rustic decor of the cafe. They have very nice indoor/outdoor seating areas. Highly recommend this place, especially for breakfast or quick bites or just for coffee.

I don't understand what's so special about this place. The food and service are so bad that I can't recommend this place to anybody. Our group ordered multiple dishes, Chicken pizza, Mountain burger, Apple pie, Hot chocolate and Chicken sandwich and all the dishes can be prepared 10x tastier at home at 5x less price. In addition, the service was also slow and when we asked to replace our hot chocolate, the new order never came and we had to leave after waiting for 25 minutes for the replacement. Highly over rated place which can surely be avoided.

Amazing!! Amazing!! Amazing!! Firstly the calmness of place.. secondly the look of cafe.. thirdly the Books out there❤❤❤ Sitting is so good. They have live shows in the evening. Very nice and warm ambience. Must visit

Cafe i heart is a beautiful place to spend relaxed time. Cafe with beautiful ambiance , energetic environment , live and live band in evening. You can feels positive vibes at place with open /closed sitting space. Good place to have quick snacks if u r tired from long drive. Cafe offers pizza , pasta , coffee , shakes , sandwich , burgers etc. I have ordered pizza supreme ,chocolate shake and French fries from a limited menu options. Food taste 3.8/5 Service 3.9/5 Ambience 4.5/5 Value for money 3.8/5 Must have pizza , coffee and sandwich

We visited here twice just because of the hype. The first visit was not so good because that day there was not much crowd and we ordered a veg burger and an ice tea. We really didnt like the burger much but the ice tea was amazing. The second visit was great because of the amazing brownie sundae which was a lil overpriced and the russian tea cake. It was really crowded that day due to the long weekend. Verdict- the place is beautiful yet needs some more ventilation when overcrowded. Also, the place is overpriced but serves some good bakery products. The owner owns a dog which makes it a pet friendly cafe

Ambience with great service from staff are the USP of this place. They got both Indoor as well as outdoor sitting options. Loved the vanilla shake. Food taste is more on the blanded side, may be to cater a wider audience. Prices are on the higher side.

So sad that the whole experience was so bitter and disapponted. We ordered all possible vegetarian. We complained n number of times but everything was still bad. First visit and disappointed. Not worth a single penny. Rate 5 stars wale leking food quality 1 stars wale.

It’s one of the best café in Bhimtal area. The pizzas are highly recommended. Burgers and pasta were very average. The ambiance is good and service can be improved. The prices are on the higher side.

Expensive place, food is okay. Definitely not value for money. Cafe was packed with people so serving speed is justified. But the taste of food was not that good. Interior of cafe is good. We ordered a couple things like pasta,garlic bread,shakes,Burger etc but none of them has that remembering taste. Overall not a very pocket friendly place given the taste that you got.

Went there for the first time during the start of this month. As soon as you enter the cafe you will have a great aroma of coffee. Their baked products are amazing. Cappuccino was awesome. Loved their egg burrito too.

The cafe is really cute and aesthetically soothing. But I was quite disappointed with the food options and quality of food. I didn’t like the food at all. Also it’s a bit heavy on the pocket for the kind of food they serve. Location of the cafe is good though. Will recommend only if you want to have coffee and experience a cozy cafe (other food weren’t that great)

Summary: The cafe has a great ambience. Prices on higher side and has room for improvement in taste of pizzas. Service is good. Likes: 1. Indoor and outdoor seating options are convenient. 2. The hazelnut frappe (monthly special menu) and turtle frappe had decent taste. Turtle frappe had lots of crushed beans. 3. The truffle was great in taste. 4. Parking is availble for 4-5 vehicles. 5. Washroom is availble. Dislikes: 1. The Garden Supreme Pizza was overloaded with mushrooms and lacked the expected flavor. 2. Prices are too high.

You would find this on your way to bhimtal from nainital on your right hand side. I went there on a recommendation on one of my friends who had earlier visited it at some time. Its a nice and clean place with a retro feel. The atmosphere is nice ,the staff is good, parking is ample. The ambiance of the place is great plus it has live music in there. A big place to to accomodate a large gathering at a time. The only negative is the quality of food served, i felt the taste was not up to the mark. This place has a clean and tidy washroom.

After hearing so much about this place finally visited. The place was nice and cosy. But food was disappointing. We order the mountain burger, pizza and 2 Mocktails and chocolate cake. Burger was for 470 rs and tasted pathetic. Drinks were bitter in taste. Pizza and cake was okish. When we gave this feedback to staff they did not even react. Over hyped and over priced place.

An adorable cafe in the hills. This place has lovely interiors like a cosy cabin and a nice outdoor space as well. The coffee was great. The service was quick. We shared the chocolate cake which was brilliant!

We went there on New Year's Eve Day. Maybe that could be the reason for having a bad experience. It was jam packed and the food tasted average (I am not saying bad). It was quite expensive compared to what we paid. Service and atmosphere was good despite the rush they were facing.

Chic place for a quick and tasty pallet of food. It's on the main highway between Bhimtal and Nainital and there's indoor as well as outdoor seating whichever suits your mood. Attached to it is a hostel/ lodging place as well which makes it a good pit stop. I would highly recommend it for the ambience, quantity of food and the service, enjoyed the time there with good music and scenes outside the window. Parking is not always available

I've been here 3 times with my husband. It's near nainital, on the way to bhimtal, one of the oldest cafe in nainital and surrounding area. Bakery items are good (authentic in taste) like tarts, brownies, cookies, cheesecake etc., their icecream shakes are too sweet but the Pizzas are extremely delicious. I think it's a bit overpriced. May be they charge for the legacy and the ambience. Wooden interior looks good but now it's getting too old, almost looking ancient. Overall it's a good place if you like to have authentic pizzas and burgers and can spend around 1500/- for 2. Has washroom and is airy.

The kumaoni thali is a must have along with the sabut dana fingers and mutton ghee roast. The best and must try authentic food if you want to try some local cuisine. Not to be missed at all. Plus they have a shop below where you can shop local stuff which is very amazing and organic.

It's a pretty cafe with wooden interiors which gives such good vibes. They have parking space and washrooms in house. I tried their menu special tandoori fish which was delicious and the chutney served with it was amazing. I also had Kumaoni Chicken Curry and jeera rice which was good. I liked the food, ambience and vibes.

Food and Drinks: 👉The food tasted fine. The dishes i had here were served well. 👉For drinks, i had cold coffee and regular coffee. They were served well too. Ambience: 👉The place has ample space for gatherings and has three seating areas. 👉The washrooms are clean and properly maintained. 👉The wooden ambience is beautiful and is kept in harmony with nature. 👉There is proper parking space for vehicles. ThankYou!

Very good host and great ambience .. it's same as it's name called Belpatra it has sehra Bel which is used to worship and offer to lord Shiva.. cute and amazing ambience and food .. aesthetic and good washroom as well.. Thank you Sandeep .. for hosting us.

This restaurant won't disappoint you. It's a wonderful place to sit and have quick bites along with some really nice hot and cold beverages. Nice place for family outing, friends gathering, dates, this cafe/restaurant has chill-out vibes which will make you feel comfortable. You can read, eat and drink your favourite beverage at the same time. Nicely decorated, it has both indoor and outdoor sitting arrangement as per your choice.

We came here because iheartcafe was insanely crowded for no reason. We liked the ambience at Belpatra. It's spacious. Food is good. They use right amount of spices and herbs. Staff is cordial. Although service could be faster. If you wish a break from iheartcafe, this one works well.

Food was good, the restaurant has clean washrooms, good parking area and nice ambience Prices are at a higher side as compared to other restaurants in the vicinity, but the restaurant offers great service

The place, again a good find, is great because it serves amazing Kumaon thali. The taste is very homely and really refreshing. They also allowed our pet, so that was great. Though they don't have food for the pet. I suggest they have better parking facilities and some sort of arrangement for not cramping a lot of people on one floor.

Great authentic cuisine! Must visit place when visiting this part of the world. The restaurant is tastefully designed in keeping with the surroundings and top notch hospitality

This was the best experience when you are new to Bhimtal. I was coming back from Bhimtal Lake and on my way i saw the rooftop restaurant. When i entered got to know that it was made in a design of a cottage. We were little sceptical but the taste was 5/5. I personally was so happy as i was coming back to delhi and it fulfilled my hunger and there was no acidity as well because it was pike a food which you prepare at home.

Very well decorated Eco friendly place with pleasant view and delicious food. Very nice and cooperative staff. I visited along with family and my younger kid loved enjoying that place. If you are in Bhimtal you must visit that place.

If i had to choose out of "I Heart" and "chai" it was good that i settled for Belpatra. It is with that awesome wooden feel which i love. Near and clean and with ample parking space. Toilets were clean. Staff is good may be not that quick. Ambience is very good and terrace seating adds to it. Food was good with some dishes very cheap but some unreasonable in pricing.

One of the best cuisine near Nainital & Bhimtal. It has eye catching ambiance with a food that gonna love by ur taste buds. Many different types of sitting arrangements and ample car parking. Clean n hygiene washroom.

I want to start with overrated place. Good if you want to enjoy a great seating in open area but if you are foodie and want to enjoy veg food then a big no. For non veg I really can't comment as I am a vegetarian and I can't tell about that. A good ambience with in house wash rooms and parking. Good place to click few pics as place will attract you with it's nicely designed exterior. So, two stars for exterior and ambience. 0 stars for vegetarian food.

Visited merely because of the reviews. Extremely pathetic service. Untrained staff. Average Food. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Perfect food, service, ambience and location. Owner is very humble.

Had lunch with my family at Bliss Restaurant Bhimtal .Amazing lunch specially paneer lababdar and butter naan with pahadi raita and dal makhni, veg manchurian and fried rice were also too good.

Recently visited this amazing place to have lunch. The lunch was so yummy that we just started with mouth watering. We order aloo dum with some butter roti and mix veg sabji. Apart from that we also order chicken kalimirch with plain roti and some curd. The food was amazing.

Good and very testy food available here Price is good and lowest in other neighborhood restaurant Special for gujrati people... Punjabi also..punjabi test is good

One of the best restaurants in the town serving delicious food, staff is very helpful and co-operative, prices are reasonable. I was specially impressed by the willingness to change items at the last momment also with no rudeness.

Excellent food. 🍄 Masala, Veg Biryani, Tandoori roti. Super tasty & nicely presented. Not too pricey either. Biryani was in fact beyond excellent.

Awesome food, good service, must visit here if you come to bhimtal

It is a nice place to be in also the chit chats are quite impressive. Tea is according to my taste 🙂.

Good and reasonable food.we packed and took to hotel

Good food in less price

I stayed at the Lake Hill Hotel, which is just next to this restaurant. The hotel has its own restaurant but I was fortunate enough to stumble upon RituRaj Restaurant. I made it a point to have my lunch and dinner at this place for the 4 days i was in Bhimtal. It's a neat and tidy place, with good music, courteous staff and amazing food (only vegetarian options) which gives you a feel of home away from home. The food is very tasty, the portions are very appropriate and the price is extremely reasonable. I personally liked their Dal Makhani, Rajma, Vegetable Korma, Mixed Vegetable, Mushroom Curry and Lemon Tea. I highly recommend this place!

We had three days stay in Bhimtal and today we got chance to have dinner in RituRaj restaurant. I have chosen it after reading positive reviews about restaurant. This time, we got more than expected from this restaurant. We had heavy lunch at Nainital. So, we wanted light dinner. We have ordered boiled rice and yellow dal.. Dal was just like our homemade dal abd best in quality. Also, inspite of full restaurant, their service was prompt and proactive. Owner of restaurant is a wonderful person who is too down to earth.. We never met him before but after having our dinner we talked to him for 5-10 mins about history of Bhimtal. He was closing his restaurant, still hw talked in friendly manner... Overall, excellent experience... I personally recommend this restaurant to everyone come to bhimtal

Amazing vegetarian place to dine! Food was super yummm. Place is really nice, accomodative of your choices. We stayed in Bhimtal for 3days, and visited this place everyday. Loved their meals.

The best thing about this place is food ,ignore the long waiting time and interior, Just enjoy the food its FINGER LIKING.

This place is really amazing, unlike the other stalls nearby the food is really good and the place is really clean and well maintained. The owner is really helpful and kind! I would recommend the Kadai Paneer, Zeera Rice and the Aloo Paratha as my favourites here. The dining area within is also clean and well maintained. Overall, this is the best restaurant in Bhimtal for all people seeking vegetarian food! Would love to come back one day.

This place was recommended to us by a boat service provider before we could set for Kayaking. He asked if we really to wanted to have 'Good Complete Food' then we should head to Rituraj Restaurant. And we got what he said and we wanted. It is visible from the main parking/market area at the lake. The owner was kind enough to keep our helmets, bags with him and bike in front of his restaurant while we set out for Kayaking. A place to go for lunch or dinner without thinking twice.

If you want to eat vegetarian food then this is the best place... highly recommended.. The owner is also polite and the food was homemade... really tasted.

This is the most underrated restaurant you will be see. They have the best veg food that you will find in surrounding with very cheap and justifiably price. Must try if in bhimtal

Tava Roti is available here, this was the best thing. Value for money. Home like food.

Good restaurant in town ..smaller space but taste mein best

RituRaj Restaurant.. a food joint with a difference. This place offers simplicity first then a seat and then place your order.. Really loved the way the restaurant owner welcomed and asked for a few seconds before allowing us to have a seat. Had a good time absolutely.
