I have been travelling through India and stayed at countless hotels of all kinds over the past 9 years. I can honestly say that Rakus Hotel and Cafe is my 2nd favorite hotel in all of India. I can write a novel about the spaciousness, cleaniness and amenities (there's hot water in the hand washing sink, which is a luxury I didn't get from luxury hotels in Delhi, Mumbai, etc). Rakus location cannot be beat being a stone throw from Bagsu Falls and just a short beautiful walk to McLeod Ganj. The Cafe is beautiful and the food is amazing. I ended up taking all my breakfasts and dinners there. But what makes Rakus the best are the people working and staying there. I fell in love with everyone who always treats me with such genuine care and affection. I was only there for 5 days in July and I am now finding comfort in the fact that I'll be back to stay at Rakus for a month this September. I truly cannot recommend this place enough. If you want an experience that you would want to remember for life, Rakus is your place. Just be warned that they will steal your heart like they did mine.

A very nice cafe to sit and work in Bagsu.. they provide wifi.. the food is good.. you can see lots of people sitting in corners with their laptops there . The only problem I had was, the music was a bit on the louder side and I had calls for about 3hrs back to back the day I visited Rakus, so I had to go out with my laptop and talk from there, which was not such a good experience... Me and my friend ordered lamb fried rice and burger.. both were tasty but it took some time to prepare so order when you have time.. the price was ok compared to the other places nearby and the cappuccino was also good... Ladies washroom was little less clean that day, could be much cleaner.. Bagsu waterfall is 5mints walk from there and on the way you can visit bagsunath temple which is just 2mints walk from the cafe.

Rakus Place offers really good food. We are at Bhagsu bus stop when we were looking for a place to have some coffee or hot chocolate, I came across this place and we went there immediately. It's a small uphill walk of 2 mins from the main square. The place serves variety of cuisines to choose from. Hot Chocolate is something to die for. It is just Pure Love. You'd not regret it at all. Overall food is great, we had mushroom & spinach soup (10/10), Spaghetti Pamodoro (8/10), Tofu in Mushroom sauce with Brown Rice (10/10), sandwiches (10/10) & cakes (10/10). We were so lost in the food that most of thr pictures are missing. Thank you Raku's for managing such a beautiful place.

Rakus place, Naam bade and darshan chote. 1 star only because of interiors and sitting area. But rest things are below average, and staff is full of attitude, they don't accept any suggestions. Me and my friend ordered pizza, but it was thin like papad without cheez flavour. Margarita pizza is almost same in every place but here it was too bad. When we told them, they told us that they have mostly foreign customers so they make it according to them. So this means that Rakus is not for Indians?

Newly opened establishment on Bhagsu Nag high street, and a crew that's eager to please and welcomes feedback to grow - just ask for Max. A breath of fresh air menu that's same same, but actually different! Healthy options, decent prices, good filter coffee, rustic decor, generous portions, great view of the temple. Live music, open space, tucked away up from the street so provides a modicum of tranquility for relaxing away from the traffic below, good wifi. Come try it for yourself!

One of the best place to have Israeli food experience in Mcleodganj. Located at upper bhagsu area in Israel rich community, Raksu offers wide variety of food experience with calm sitting during breakfast/lunch and live music during night. The place will give you rich experience with colorful interiors. We tried the following, Sandwich with avacado - 4/5 Pita, hummus, salad and fries - 5/5 Falafal Platter - 5/5 Masala Tea - 5/5
