Sitting Elephant

Neat and clean place with a great view and wonderful staff! The manager was humble and took our requests politely. Because we went out with our 10 month old baby so we carried home made food, they were fine with it. We ordered pasta, spring roll and pizza, spring roll tasted the best. Also, we had masala tea which was 10 on 10. The place doesn’t have parking facility and we had to park our car outside the premises. One plus point is the view that this restaurant offers. The outdoor seating adds charm to this place. We visited it for the first time and we will definitely visit again. Thank you

The restaurant has a spacious rooftop terrace with plenty of seating. There are also a few tables indoors, but the best seats are definitely on the terrace. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the river and the surrounding mountains. The menu at The Sitting Elephant features a wide variety of North Indian dishes, including tandoori chicken, butter chicken, dal makhani, and naan. There are also a few Chinese and Continental dishes available. I ordered the tandoori chicken and butter chicken, and both dishes were excellent. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauces were flavorful and creamy. The naan was also fresh and hot. The service at The Sitting Elephant was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. He made sure that we had everything we needed and that our food was cooked to our liking. Overall, I had a great experience at The Sitting Elephant. The food was delicious, the views were stunning, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Rishikesh. Here are some pros and cons of The Sitting Elephant: Pros: Stunning views of the River Ganga Delicious North Indian cuisine Friendly and attentive service Spacious rooftop terrace Cons: Can be crowded during peak season Prices can be a bit high Overall, I would highly recommend The Sitting Elephant to anyone visiting Rishikesh. It is a great place to enjoy delicious food, stunning views, and friendly service.

I and my husband along with my 10 months old stayed here for 2 days and it was quiet pleasant. We got complimentary upgrade and view from the room was amazing. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. We had one dinner and two breakfasts here. Food and service both were good. They also have baby chairs which most restaurants don’t have. Overall our stay and food experience was pleasant.

Situated on the rooftop, it's a pretty nice Indian restaurant. The outdoor seating area is quite breezy with a view of the Ganges. The food was really tasty, especially dal makhani, paneer moksha and malai kofta but the portion size was quite disappointing especially for the price charged. Boondi raita also tasted a little weird. The service by Mr. Rawat was on point. One thing that I'd have expected from such a restaurant was a dedicated hand wash area. There's just a single washroom that needs to be used for washing hands but since it's mostly occupied, people usually have to wait for a while.
