Naivedhyam Restaurant

We are located right inside the Ganga View Hotel building on Haridwar Road. Rishikesh is a busy town, especially with all the people coming through for the river and the temples. Our spot at 355 is a bit away from the very center of the crowd, which is nice sometimes. The restaurant has been here for a bit, and we mostly see travelers who are staying at the hotel or people walking by on their way to the ghats. The kitchen stays pretty warm, especially when we’ve got everything running for the evening rush. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who handle the cooking and the cleaning. It’s not a corporate place with a manual for everything. We just do what needs to be done. Sometimes we run out of things if the market is closed, and we have to tell people we're out of a dish for the day. That's just how life goes in a place like this. The view of the road is always interesting, seeing all the different people from all over the world. We don't try to be something we're not. It’s just food served in a simple way. We spend a lot of time prepping vegetables and getting the spices right, but we don't make a big fuss about it. It’s just our job. We hope people feel okay when they leave, like they had a decent meal that didn't cost too much.
