An awesome cafe on the river side just opposite Club House gate. The cafe has a great menu. All major options on Veg are available. There is a juice specialty menu too.I tried a mix juice with a Falafel sandwich. The taste was super fresh. I overheard people appreciating Veg Burger and Pizza tooThe cafe has ample space to sit. Music played is best of bollywood.The only area of slight improvement is the time it takes them to prepare food. They should tell customers in advance how much time to wait. The wait is worth it.

A small beautiful cafe on old Manali road. We went there when it was already midnight however the manager allowed us to be there and had dinner. The food was'nt great but we didn't have much choice that time as it was late and only this cafe was open. We went here in the off season so it was completely empty. However the manager was very sweet. Attractive and unique decor. They have live music for their customers to enjoy their time over this place. Liquor and sheesha also available. The staff is humble and kind.
