Meanwhile, Shane Campbell notes the quality of service and recommends enjoying a pizza along with a virgin mojito — a perfect pairing that promises satisfaction.

The cafe has steep stairs which might be a bit difficult to climb for elderly folks. The ambience is english enough to attract foreign tourists and offers an outstanding view of Ganga. Apparently, it is loved by foreigners since when we visited it, it was full of western tourists. The service seriously needs improvement as it is terribly slow and we had to leave the place as only partial order could be served in 45 minutes. Overall, a decent place to relax.

Great place to sit on the balcony, above the madness in the road below. I also liked the beautiful old property. We had pizza, and juices. Prices are standard. Service was fast enough. Best place to bring : Your family, if they can climb the steep flight of stairs in front.

This restaurant is amazing. The wait staff is great and the food is delicious! I was invited here for lunch by friends and was pleasantly surprised by not only the food but the view of Ganga. I enjoyed my time there so much I returned to take it all in again. I highly recommend you stop by and enjoy a pizza and a virgin mojito.

Craving a refreshing drink and seeking refuge from the blazing sun along the banks of the Ganges River. Luckily, I stumbled upon this fantastic rooftop spot with a panoramic view of the Ram Jhula bridge and Rameshwar Mandir.
