The place has good inflow of foreigners. This is small rooftop Cafe with the view of Laxman Jhula being its usp. Ordered burrito, falafel, pasta and cheese mushroom toast. The burrito and falafal were good, pasta and could have been better. Also tried their desserts, nothing great.

PLEASE DON'T VENTURE OUT UNTILL & UNLESS IT'S REQUIRED - STAY INDOORS & KEEP YOURSELF & EVERYONE AROUND YOU #SAFE πŸ™

#LittleBudhhaCafe is a pretty popular destination for any tourist (specially foreigners) visiting #Laxmanjhula for it's wide array of various global cuisines (strictly vegetarian though) and for the breathtaking view of the Ganges and Rishikesh town.. Unfortunately, I dropped in during evening hence missed the morning view but it was still beautiful.. Service was pathetic and prices were on the higher side..

Didn't have much of an appetite for food (was tired of veg dishes actually πŸ˜…) hence just relished on the following:

#YaaraChocolate: I have no clue why they call it Yaara but it's basically hot chocolate with Nutella - run of the mill stuff - nothing extraordinary..

#JumboChocolateBall: Now, this one was the real deal - I had heard rave reviews about this dessert and being a chocoholic - had to try this out and thank god I did - outstanding chocolate dessert - it was pure #chocogasm - try the one served with icecream - adds on to the overall flavour..

My humble two cents: #VISIT only for the morning view of the Ganges and ofcourse for Jumbo Chocolate Ball with Icecream..

The place has a great view, thats a USP of the place, they serve good hummus, avacado shake was good though i would prefer it to be a bit cold but it was warm, maybe thats the way they make it, i didnt ask. I had a pleasant noon, they cad upgrade their seating a bit, should work on the ambiance but i guess lack of it makes up with the view that this cafe has of ganga. In total i loved the place for its view and food

Love the white souce pasta ,perfect creamy and cheesy if you really want to enhance the taste of the pasta than add on the bit oreganos don’t put chilly flex their chilly flex is handmade and spicy 🌢 so be aware .
2nd I tried creamy veggie sandwich-the sandwich stuffed with creamy veggies paste ,I really like their salad πŸ₯— which they gave us with sandwich .they also serve fries with sandwich but I still in double which oil they used to fried it
3rd I tried banana Nutella honey pancake -stuffed with banana slices and spreader Nutella and covered with floor pancake because its vegetarian pancake it was good but not appropriate to my egg made pancake

It's a must visit if you're in Rishikesh. this place has a Ganga river view, is located in the area called laxman jhula. The entrance is a little Shady and stinks, but once you've entered the place you'll forget everything. The food is great, you'll drown in the ambience. Almost every table here is rolling and smoking right there. I went here with a friend and we never realized how 3 hours passed there! #MustVisit

Situated at the main Laxman jhula market. The place is really famous among backpackers. I have been here so many times, it would be partial if I just review 1 or 2 food items, the majority of food served here is good. Few seats here also gives you ganga view. The space is airy. Though the service is a bit slow but it's ok.

The view is amazing! The waiters are nice! The food is always great! Very low lighting for dinners, which gives it a chill vibe. Try the guacamole or fruit salad. If not, just try anything on their huge menu. I haven't tried anything I didn't like 😍

Well, we were on a cafe exploration spree and hence we came across this cute cafe which was recommended by the zostel we were staying in. And voila, this was the best place we had food in, be it the overlooking Ganga river view, the trippy decor or the lip-smacking food, just loved it!!

A cafe which makes you feel like to visit it again with its attractive ambiance having a fancy theme of Hippie. It has unique blend of cuisines which attracts the hippie crowd obviously as well people who want to enjoy the awe-inspiring view of Ganges and Lakshman Jhoola.

I would add one thing that above all you can enjoy only when you got a chance to sit in the front open yard otherwise man, this place is really suffocating.
Talking about food, this place serves awesome delicacies which makes you drool. Give it a shot to its vegetable platter and i'm sure you won't regret it later.

I love Everything about this little cosy cafe by the river Ganga. From food to ambuiance, amazing crowd and definitely the vibes. Recently during my trip to Rishikesh I encountered this wholesome cafe. With beautiful wooden interior and low dim lights makes it extraordinary and relaxing. As per food, I adore their wide range of varieties from middle Eastern to Nepali, indian, Chinese, Italian and everything was authentic. Something that I loved more about this place was their choice of condiments present at your table. Chilli sauce, Tamato sauce salt pepper, oregano, chilli flakes and balsamic vinegar. I mean whaaaaa? That was unbelievable. Moving on to what we've ordered.

1) Our special pizza, loaded with mushrooms, baby corn, olive, spinach and cheese. It was delightful.

2)Besciamella al funghi pasta. Super Creamy and loaded with cheese. Unbelievably satisfying.

3) Chilli potato. Nothing too fancy but still love it

4) Mix veg thukpa, in a cold chilly evening near river side, this hot bowl of thupka was a pure bless.

5) Mix veg momos, nothing extraordinary but love that sauce.

6) Chocolate, Strawberries, Mango, Oreo (individual shakes with ice cream) and cold coffee.

Must say it has a great view but they take like ages to serve your order. And they even forget that if you've ordered something. They need to be reminded again and again to get your order served. But yes once you get that it was worth waiting.

Very nice place food and staff wise.
Service is little time taking but the food that we get, is worth to wait for.
Their smoothies and juices are must try things.
We had mixed fruit juice and it was fresh and refreshing.
Their Indian menu is also of great taste; we had their Dal and Butter Panner; both are beyond expectations.
Price are also reasonable.

The place has a mesmerising view of the Ganges. If you are a backpacker and would like to explore food in the area. This is the best start for you. In my opinion, the food was just good. I had their margarita pizza along with lamonana and mint honey lemon tea. Unfortunately, most of the times you would end up waiting for the seat as the place is always packed and then you would have wait for the order since the here your order takes a while. If I compare if other cafe other their in Rishikesh. This place is expensive. Still, I would recommend you guys to check this place.

Food was higenic. Busy place besides wonderful banks of Maa Ganga.

Fresh vegetables juice was a mix of different vegetables. Was served in a normal glass but quality wise it was great.

Special curry was tasting like a home made curry but chef style. It contained different exotic vegetables such as broccoli, baby corn, cinnamon etcetera.

Roti is not so soft as it appears to be. But eatable.

Veg farm pizza was a packing item. No oregano or sauces provided with it. Was scattered and lost freshness while reaching our hotel. But it still tasted heavenly. Despite being a thin crust it was filling up the stomach. Sauces used were unique in taste. Worth spending 400 inr.

This cafe took some walking to reach, situated on the other side of the jhula. Tucked away in the bylanes of Rishikesh amidst all the hustle and bustle.

The cafe is just about ok, gives you an amazing view of the river Ganges, that's the only USP of this place. Food wise had limited items, were average, the portion sizes are huge!

Don't expect much in terms of ambience or tables or chairs. Go for the view

So as i was going on the list to explore top joints in rishikesh, i stumbled upon this. It is small and cosy joint ,too hyped. But yea, they make some very good and fresh food. The margarita pizza was one of its kind and probably the best margarita i have ever been through. Sipping through the shake with view of ganga, the breeze and some enchiladas. probably this is what they call LIFE..
For sure one must visit ..:)

Well this place gave me a trans hit altogether.. the ambience being so intoxicating, the location (just by the banks of Ganges) being so calm, the crowd being so lively and the food definitely being too delicious for the taste buds to stop demanding more !!
I ate a lot and continued ordering as I was not willing to leave the place untill it was a final shutdown.
Worth a visit.

This place has amazing ambience with a view of the river Ganges and spiritual music and decor.
We went there for breakfast, the service was decent but the food was amazing with insane quantity. So when you order make sure you think before ordering two dishes for one person.

Little Buddha Cafe is located right in the centre of the Laxman Jhula market on the main road itself. Most of the restaurants around laxman jhula have similar food choices and menu and Little Buddha is no different.However the taste is good and the staff is polite and friendly.They also have wifi here.The view of the ganges and the laxman jhula is beautiful from this place.They have both couch and table chair seating here, can accommodate large groups as well.

When one visit Rishikesh, this place is a must visit. The place gives hippie vibes. It is almost always full so might be difficult to get seats easily but it's worth it. I have tried different dishes like alle verdure pizza, arabitta pasta, mint mocktail, Nachos and noodles. Trust me everything is delicious.

The hippie life requires a beautiful stop , with a river view , and this is what Little Buddha Cafe offers! Picturesque and offering peace, this cafe has a great kitchen!
We tried Lemon Nana , a drink infused with citrus lemon and mint hints! This drink will DEFINITELY chill you to the core on a summery/humid day. Next up was Oreo Shake with whipped icecream which had traces of nutella , oreo and loads of great flavor.
Both the shakes were given in big tumblers and ample quantity. Loved the service!
The only downside being no ac/ no fans as the electricity wasn't there so this cafe will offer you it's best capability on a rainy day or a wintery afternoon.
Cheers!🍸❀️

After an overnight bus journey, to treat our bellies with the amazing food from this place was the best decision! I couldn't take many pictures of the food we ordered because I was enthralled by the view- the place overlooked the banks of Ganga and the natural breeze calms your tired body. The food looked and smelled so good that we dug into the plates as soon as it arrived! We ordered the Irish salad filled with farm fresh veggies, tortilla chips with guacamole and gnocchi. And everything was so fresh and delicious (I taste it all while typing this!) A must visit!

This place is located in the market and is the most popular cafe due to its amazing view. The mesmerising view of the Ganges from the cafe makes you enjoy your food more. I along with my friends tried pasta, chocolate shake, oreo shake, nutella banana shake. The pasta was okay rest all was good. The mushroom spinach cheese burger, veg falafel and cottage cheese spinach momos were my favourite. The preparation of food is really good. They have a mutli-cuisine menu to try food from. The service is also good. The vibe of this place is warm and homely. Totally loved it.

This is a busy spot with a good atmosphere. Wide and good menu with most dishes good to excellent. A place you can definitely go with confidence of a good evening/lunch. Reliable.
But one can only enjoy the cafΓ© either late evening or in monsoons or winters if you are going in summer afternoon it may make you irritated as this place is near the river bank and observes immense suns heat.
Coming to food everything was upto mark but due to warm weather we really enjoyed the crushed lemon ice and due to which I would rate it 4 or else I have only visited this place for its name..
Just a suggestion to the cafΓ© owners, guys please install desert cooler it will really help..

It’s one of the most crowded restaurants/cafe in rishikesh. The food is also great and the taste, quality and quantity is great. The place is always full as everyone comes here to have tasty dishes which is all kind of cuisine from Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Middle Eastern and Indian. So come prepared that you have to wait for min 30-45 min before getting seats. Parking here is almost not possible so come walking. The biggest issue here is the service. The servers are not very prompt and you have to ask for a thing many times before it’s addressed.

Somehow we had not been to this little gem of a cafe in all these years we have been to Rishikesh... Today we decided to give it a go... And I am so glad we did. Everything we ate was truly tasty - not Rishikesh tasty - like we are here in this little town this is the best we can get type tasty... The food was actually v good. The green juice and fresh strawberry lassi we started with was superb - no ice added - naturally cool. Moved on to nachos - nice ... Could be better. Then hummus and falafel which were brilliant. We had an avocado toast - the avocado was generous on the toast and quite scrumptious. The salad had too little dressing otherwise v good. The paneer pakoras were golden - fried to perfection. And our pizza was thin crust and delicious. And while we atw we watched the amazing view of the serene Ganga from our balcony table. The service was quick and very friendly. So what could have been better? The music - a little too loud and a better more thoughtful playlist would have really made this meal truly special. Would we come back? Yes of course! Definitely coming here again... And you should too - come early afternoon or early evening otherwise they get v v crowded. And you get a lovely view which you will totally miss at night.

A Must Go place while Rishikesh Cafe Hopping. There are many seating on the sides which gives you a beautiful panoramic view of Ganga. Even if you didn't get a the windows seats, the bamboo cottage ambiance and light soothing music is worth spending your time. It's a place to relax and spend quite time. Food is delicious and service is good. There are Vegan options for everything, beverages to main course. Has to park on road side, difficult to find space, well there is a pay and park nearby.

Love the ambience but it's almost always crowded and you need to wait tables before you can get a good spot to eat :P There's a lot of room for improvement in terms of service but the food is great and the view of the Ganges and Lakshman Jhula at night is amazing. Must try their Falafel plate.

Buddha cafe is a small cafe on the first floor near to laxman jhula with good views of the river Ganga. They have a lot of continental dishes and salads . Huge list of juices and shakes . Location - It's on the main road near Laxman Jhula. Food - Food is good here and the menu is rich with many options . We have ordered fried rice and chilli paneer both taste good. We also ordered mixed fruit juice and cold coffee and both were freshly prepared. Ambience - You can enjoy your food with nice view of river Ganga . Sunset views from cafes are too good . They have used bamboo everywhere including ceiling of the restaurant which gives a nice authentic view . Cost - cost is a little higher . It will cost Rs 1000 for 2 people . Overall its a nice cafe to enjoy your food with scenic beauty of ganga and mountain.

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Little Buddha Cafe, and it was an experience worth sharing. We both enjoyed a delicious plate of pasta and noodles, and we were delighted by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the cafe. As visitors from Kerala, we were drawn to the flavors and the cozy ambiance that made us feel right at home. The service was excellent, and the meal left us with a memorable impression. We'll certainly be returning to Little Buddha Cafe for more delectable moments and we are today’s last customer still they treat us great. Highly recommended
