Cafe Riverrun — Restaurant in Assam

Its a long & honest review. Must be read till the end. I am posting this after visiting the place 2-3times. Cafe Riverrun is a good place amidst nature. The cafe is too small, which for me, is a negative point, only 8-10 people can sit. Center of attraction is the tree located inside the cafe, decorated with lights & photographs, it enhances the beauty of this place. Masala tea is amazing according to one of my friends. Mix Sauce Pasta is okay, garlic bread served with Pasta was really good earlier but I don't know what has happened to it now, there is no flavour of garlic in it. I think they have now started to serve plain toast instead. I have also tried Cake OTT Milkshake, which is served in a mason jar, well, it was only sweet milk in the jar, with chocolate cake on the edge of the jar with vanilla icecream on top of it, overloaded with cream, gems & oreo biscuits outside the jar for presentation &/or may be for taste. I found it so-so because it was not a Milkshake & only sweet milk. I had to put all the biscuits, gems, cake & icecream in the milk to make it better & yes it did taste much better. The staves don't give you Oregano-Chilli Flakes or tissue papers. You need to keep asking for things. Plus, there is no washroom, not even a seperate corner to wash hands. You need to go to the kitchen (near sitting area) to wash your hands. Moreover, the staff was playing some music or video real loud, a certain decorum should be maintained you know. So, I find "Cafe Riverrun" a bit overpriced but I would say that the overall ambience is good especially during evening time. I have shared the pictures of Cake OTT M.S & M.S.Pasta. (Presentation of food: 10/10. Sitting area: 5/10. Taste: 7-8/10. Cleanliness: 8/10. Staff: 7-8/10. Location: 9-10/10....

Tiny and cosy cafe overviewing the Brahmaputra. There are only a few tables and a tree passes through the roof of the cafe creating a beautiful effect. Amiable and courteous staff. The food is great and the prices are in fact cheaper compared to other cafes. The most expensive item comes of ₹300. The interior designing is dainty and the food is prepared in front of your eyes. Actually it looks like a decorated dining hall with the attached kitchen. Ideal place for a romantic date or even a self date with the cold breeze blowing through the open windows. It opens quite early in the morning. I tried the Creamy chicken sandwich (which is served with fries, ketchup and mayonnaise) and brownie sundae. The sandwich was average but the sundae was delicious with lot of icecream. The over the top shake is the most popular. Great place to grab a sandwich or pasta when you are hungry af and your pocket demands...

It was a dissapointing experience for me. The place was really beautiful but the food and the service was not as expected of a place like that. The names of some of the items on the menu were misleading. Just like when the menu said "Chicken Maggie", what they served was some 'too simply' boiled maggie with some chopped pieces of chicken sausage spread on top. And the taste was not at all good, given the unreasonably high price that they charged. And in the name of ice coffee they served us some ice cubes with some liquid that tasted somewhat like 'coffee'. (I think they took the name 'ice coffee too seriously).

So I will recommend you to go to this place only when you care least about the food and more about the ambience and a beautiful chat with your partner. Otherwise rest assured that you will be wasting your money and time,...
