“ My friend and myself were exploring a good place for dinner and we chanced upon this place. So glad we did !! We tried the vegetarian pizza, basil tea, lemon honey tea. Food was amazing, ambiance watching Ganges was the icing on the cake. Price was decent and staff were very nice. Must visit. I hope I get to visit here again. Thank you VJ for such a memorable experience. ”
“ On the busy streets, this is a very good place for wood fired pizza. They have a parking area, ambience is good, outdoors and indoors. Service is fast if its not weekend. They have limited seating if its huge crowd. We tried beetroot soup which was authentic and hot & sour soup which was regular. We tried paneer pizza and fungi mushroom pizza, the base is not thick and hard. Its soft, very tasty. Palak paneer and roti were good. We tried bruseette which tasted different with soya sauce. Lasgene was very tasty. Blue lagoon had too much ice. Their speciality kombucha was very good and is must try. They also include the special request if any. The restaurant is costly for their special dishes. But is one time a good try. Like the review if it was helpful and let me know for any questions. ”
“ Very good experience. The scenary, the food and the service was very good. Minestrone soup as starter could be served also in Roma or Milano. The pizza is in the diameter of your car and tastier than other Rishikesh places. The gangas view and sound is present in each bite. The only thing that should be immediately improved is the rest room...its a little more expensive than near restaurants, but its worth it. David ”
“ VJ’s Giardino offers a breathtaking view of the Ganges and Ram Jhula, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The ambiance is peaceful in the afternoon, while evenings, especially on weekends, can be busy—yet the service remains excellent. The pizza, lasagna, egg pad thai, nasi goreng, and chocolate milkshake were all absolutely delicious! Also they make regular dishes like tawa roti, side dishes etc. The staff is incredibly polite and courteous, adding to the warm and welcoming experience. Plus, its prime location on the main road makes it easily accessible. A must-visit for great food with a stunning view! ”

Whether you're solo, with friends, or family, this spot truly offers value for money with a soul-soothing experience. Highly recommended! ”
“ A nice restaurant on the banks of River Ganges. It has great views. Food is excellent. You get great Indian food besides a variety of pizzas. Try out Garwali Thali meals. You will love it. Place is clean, service is efficient and the staff are friendly. Limited parking space available. Centrally located in Rishikesh. Take your family for a relaxed sumptuous lunch or dinner. ”
“ On busy days, the service can get a bit slow as on Day 1 we ordered their authentic gharwali thali and it took them 45 mins to serve but 0 complaints because the wait was so worth it!!!! We literally inhaled everything it was that good! The plate can serve 2 people easily on days you are really hungry! The staff was very kind and gracious, we had to wait a little but we got the table right by the view on request. On Day 2, we ordered their famous stone oven pizza and it was worth the hype. Acc to prize point and the ambience and food quality, it is definitely money worth spent ”
