If u have been there at rishikesh and u don't go to chotiwala then ur trip is not completed . The best eatery place in rishikesh where u can find everything u want to eat. However their special thaals are the best things that is served there.
Serves amazing tasting tea

Vegetarian food review~~
If you are in rishikesh, you gotta try the oldest restraunt located near laxman jhula. One unique thing about the place is a person who is dressed like a pandit with a choti as the name suggests and greets people entering the place for a nice meal.
We were actually full when we went to chotiwalabut also wanted to try out something so we ordered pav bhaji, veg biryani and butter milk for dinner.The food was overall good, being from Hyderabad I have all rights to judge the biryani but to my surprise it was good though it is made with pulao like flavours, the whole dish still came out well with the spices properly managed. The pav bhaji was delicious and the bhaji was good and with the onion slices it was amazing. The butter milk were good too.
The service is good, the place has ground floor with local restraunt sitting while the upper floor is AC restraunt with proper dining experience. The crowd was so so. There are 2 choti Wala adjacent to each other, make sure you go to the oldest one. The price is economical and fits in the pocket.
Overall my first time in rishikesh was full of good feels and good food. Try this place once for sure.
Happy Binging π

So, I came here after a visit to the Ramjhula. I had visited this place around 15 years ago and was looking forward to going there again.
Ambiance- Very basic but has ample space for large families and an AC room upstairs. Nothing very extraordinarily beautiful. The star attraction here is the Chotiwala who sits outside to attract customers. Whether people come in or not, they definitely capture him in their cameras. I would give 3/5 to the ambiance but would add +2 for the Chotiwala outside. 5/5
Service- Quite fast. Everything will be got to you within a few minutes. Polite waiters and bill takers dressed in their signature uniform add to the charm of the place. 4.5/5
Food- More than the yummy taste, it is the nostalgia you would associate with this place. We tried the following-:
Mini meal- They had a variety of combos for the mini meals and we chose The Paneer makhani with 2 naans platter. The naans were yum with sesame seeds on top (This is very different than other places serving the usual naan). Paneer makhani was good. Paneer pieces were mediocre in number. Overall a good combo which can be savoured by one hungry person or two not so hungry people. 4/5
Hot Chocolate- Did not like this one. It looked like hot chocolate but tasted a bit weird. 2/5
Masala Tea- Was good but the masalas were slightly in excess. It felt heavy on the heart. 3/5
Will I come here again? Yes, everytime I come to Rishikesh.
I have been visiting this place since I was a kid.
The menu of this restaurant is pretty simple and usually you'll see a family crowd here.
We ordered -
Dal Makhni
Chilli paneer
Noodles
Roti
Everything taste good.
Overall a great experience from my side.
This place is very much famous in near Ramjhula, Rishikesh. The outlet is always crowded and the service is slightly slow in peak hours. Dining is not very good but they serve tasty food with sufficient quantity.
The restaurant could have been cleaner. It attracts a lot of tourists all day.
We ordered food from the very famous chotiwala and the food was really good. We ordered paneer paratha, noodles and dal makhni. We were surprised by the quantity of dal makhni. It was very tasty and worth it.
Well we Visited Rishikesh yesterday. And I went to famous Chotiwala Restaurant near Ram Jhula. It serves good food. I tried dal makhani and Kadhai paneer. You can take choice of combo to butter naan or Tawa roti in main course. I also tried masala dosa. Must ordered the special lassi or butter milk (chaas), with it the meal cannot end. Must visit. Overall
Food: ππππ/5
Service: πππππ/5
Ambience: ππππ/5
Best food... Very Tasty. Tried thali n Punjabi food. All three chotiwala has almost same taste and ambience. Heritage thali is too much for single person.
Came here on a whim with a group of friends as we were in the area and had a great experience overall. We weren't sure what to order but the staffs were helpful and recommended us some great dishes and every single one of them was incredible.we will be back for sure
This place right next to ram jhula , there are 2 chotiwalas , we tried the first one. Food was good, tried punjabi thali - which is all fixed no refills, dosas ,Pao bhaji , shahi paneer (the serving was quite a lot for a dish). They serve continental and various Indian thalis like Bangla Gujarati , though we did not try that .There are two sitting area - normal dhaba type and second AC section.
The prices are on higher side , itβs as good as as fine dining restaurant in Delhi. The NON AC Siting area is also not comfortable.
Quality of food is ok 9/10.
But the service is very slow 5/10.
Taste of food is good 9/10.
Cleanness of restaurant is good 9/10.
Seating comfort 8/10.
The best part is the person seating outside the restaurant with a choti for that 10/10.
Probably the best Indian food in townπΈ
Very hygienic and delicious π
It tastes like homemade food π₯ β€οΈ
For desert I will recommend Julab Jamun itβs reallly soft and delicious!
Each bite was heaven ..food quantity n full thalli cost is much reasonable ..I will rate 5star for every item..will surely visit there again
Food is fabulous. We mostly eat non veg here and they cooks amazing non veg food here, specially afgani chiken. I recommend this place to non veg lovers.
When you are in Rishikesh you cant miss the famous Chotiwala. Whatever the people say it is over hyped , not good is just crap. I had the food here in August 2011 and now again in my recent visit last weekend had the food. Believe me it has not been changed since yet.Β
When you are coming from Ram Jhula this is the 2nd one, A person with Choti will be seating at the entrance. The place looked the same as it was in 2011. We were two people and were hogging on the streets trying food so we were half full and still wanted to taste the maximum food.Β Β
So ordered One Deluxe thali -Β which had 11 items in it and tasted the same as it used be. They serve Pure vegetarian food which we use to have 10 years back when Shahi Paneer was not suppose to be sweet.
The place is great for having some good North Indian Food. Would definitely visit again in my next visit too.
Recently visited chotiwala restaurant rishikesh.
Ambience was nice and staff service was good.
Ordered special thali - enough for 1.
In this thali they provide 500ml packaged water, salad, achaar, mix veg - properly cooked, dal makhni - well prepared, kadhi pakoda - that was ok type, paneer butter masala - tasty and yummy, rice - well cooked, papad, mix raita - very tasty, breads- choice between tawa roti and tandoori roti and very yummy gulab jamun also. Overall nice food.
Situated along side the river Ganges it has a beautiful location. It's a really good restaurant with great food and service too. One of the must try restaurant of Rishikesh.
It's an average restaurant .service is good ...food is good ...don't expect fine dining from this restaurant....main best part of this restaurant is .u can see the flowing Ganga river from your table while eating food.
Best food service with taste they are providing. One of the best things is you will get jain food as well. There are two chotiwalas but both are almost the same. Mr. Gaurang is the best person to talk and let you know about the history of him and as well as the restaurants.
Situated In walking route for ramjhula. Person is sitting infront of restaurant with complete makeup and Bell which is really amazing experience.
They have multiple food option. Something different experience must visit to see the person sitting person.
One of the well estaished family restaurant near Sivananda Ashram, on the bay of river gange.
This is a veg restaurant, price is average, food is good. You need to climb stairs to reach to restaurant.
One of the popular joint in the town. There are 2 restaurants adjacent to each other run by 2 brothers.
The restaurant offers all varieties of vegetarian dishes including South Indian, Punjabi thali/dishes, Gujarati Thali etc.
The service was quick and the North Indian dishes taste good. South was alright but the Chinese were not so good.
But for the available options, this can be one of the best.
Food taste was great. But prices are bit high as compare to other nearby restaurants. Food quality is good. Service is little slow. They donβt have the thali mentioned in menu. I was searching for thali and end up ordering from Γ la Carte.
Sambhar is spicy. But the service is good.washroom also not clear
We visited chotiwala near Ram Jhula during our recent visit to Rishikesh. This place is pretty much packed during the weekends since Rishikesh witness a heavy footfall of tourists during weekends from nearby states. We ordered their special thali and it was the best thali we have ever had. Their food quality, taste and service is top notch. Their is no parking availability in that area so plan your visit accordingly and do try their special thali. Their staff is quite friendly and welcoming, youβll have a great time here.
Nice place to visit one time for vegetarians options .
Place stands true to its name, really hygienic, friendly staff and great food! If visiting rishikesh must try their thali which is sattvik and freshly cooked for us. Loved the taste.
One of the most famous restaurant in Rishikesh that offers scrumptuous veg food. Service was good, staff were polite and they maintain the cleanliness. They have very wide menu and the price is at the higher side.
