Amazing vegan options in Rishikesh - Edit
Amazing delicious food. The dal is the best I have had and the coconut rice was full of flavour and delicious - I have never had anything like it. Over the course of many visits we never had a bad dish, and had just about every vegan option on the menu. Even the potato wedges are a cut above.
Read moreAside from this, this is one of the most attractive and chilled places in Rishikesh. Everyone who works there is lovely and the coffee is great.
Pros: Delicious food, Great people, Beautiful Cafe
Cons: Could be fully vegan 😀

Thank you so much Chris. We loved having you. The idea is there to go completely vegan. It has been brewing in my mind both for ethical and health reasons. And you guys inspired us too!?

Best Dal I’ve Ever Tasted!!! - Edit
We ate at Nanna’s Cafe five times during our nine night stay in Rishikesh, although to our huge regret, we didn’t even discover them until halfway through.
Read moreA huge advantage is that they label vegan-friendly items on their menu, with lots on offer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The venue itself is fresh-feeling and beautifully decorated, and they also have a welcoming covered garden space.
Our dinners were amazing, especially because of the wonderful Prantha with Yellow Dal - flakey bread with the most delicious bowl of Dal I’ve ever tasted. It’s got a delicately smokey flavour and is so moreish; I’d love to be able to have this at home. They also do great rice dishes - the Tumeric Coconut Rice was a standout, but the Vegetable Fried Rice was also fab! Great potato wedges and a refreshing Low Carb Zucchini Salad to balance us out after bread, rice and potatoes! Loads more options, but not enough time to try them all.
We tried all three vegan-friendly breakfast options. The Omelette made with gram/chickpea flour and vegetables seasoned with Indian spices was really good and even converted my omelette-phobic partner. The Potato Rosti topped with vegetables was also great, and the Spiced Coconut Oatmeal exceeded our expectations. Excellent coffee too!
They have a few vegan-friendly desserts too; a lovely Salted Caramel Cheesecake, Vegan Ice Cream, as well as Carrot Bliss Balls and a Chocolate Banana Cake that we didn’t try.
If you’re in Rishikesh, particularly if you’re on the Laxman side, make a beeline for Nanna’s Cafe!
Pros: Best Dal Ever, plus loads of vegan options!, Beautiful space., Lovely people, and great value!
Cons: Not fully vegan.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We really loved having you. It has been brewing to go completely vegan and I guess it is time to implement. You guys gave me the encouragement with your enthusiasm and also the magazines that you left at the cafe. ? I guess it is the sign?

A hidden gem in the yoga village - Edit
I pretty much visited nanna’s everyday over 4 weeks while I was doing a YTT in Rishikesh.
Read moreLovely staff and very relaxed environment. They are vegetarian but more than welcome to accommodate and cater for vegans. Very few vegan options but I’m sure they’ll figure something out for you.
They owner went extra mile to make us happy and from only 1 vegan dessert option abainhe in the menu, we left nannas with 4 vegan desserts specials in the menu. Absolutely one of the best spots in Rishikesh. I have so many good memories from this place ❤️
Pros: Place, Quiet, Lovely food and staff
NathalieBezzina
Thank you so much, you were our inspiration to create amazing vegan deserts, which has become so popular.?

Prettiest restaurant in Rishikesh - Edit
This is such a beautiful restaurant/cafe. It’s super clean, has wonderful atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and my food came out quickly. The restaurant itself is a little hidden but worth finding! I had the coconut stew, cucumber juice and golden turmeric milk with almond milk, which I all highly recommended.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Super clean restaurant with great ambiance , Big menu of healthy options

A jewel - Edit
Love everything about this place. Best atmosphere in town. Immaculate clean and every detail taken care of. The service is great, though a bit slow but the amazing food is totally worth the wait. Vega items clearly marked. My favorite spot in Rishikesh now.

A hidden gem - Edit
A hidden gem! Love the menu and the atmosphere, great staff! Creative and healthy food away from the noisy-touristy Rishikesh. Prices are very reasonable. Try the golden milk, it's amazing😄 One extra star for the cleanest toilette I've seen in India.
