Sitting large - Elephants

The views are very at this place! Decent food too. Toilets could need more attention especially since so much is put into beautiful ascetics feel of the restaurant. Would definitely go back and friend enjoyed the food too. Thank you for a wonderful service.

Poor Service, bad food

Went to this place looking at such high ratings on Tripadvisor and Zomato. The place is extremely overhyped This place only has great views, the views are actually stunning and you get Ganga and the national park. The outside seating is poor, the seats are...almost torn, (pics attached) Our table was wobbling !! Service - well don't expect anything from them. Food took 45 mins to come, I had asked for lemon wedges to 4 different people, none of them bothered. Food- At best average, items on Garwali menu was not available. The panner they recommend was really poor and served cold. Dal was better and served hot. Billing- they don't give physical bills, which is great but then the soft copy they sent had errors and it's not a GST bill. We paid cash and if you need balance, go down to reception to get the balance yourself. This place probably was good few years back, right now is too damn poor with nothing except the viewsMore
