Title: A Regrettable Visit

I recently had the displeasure of visiting a cafe that left much to be desired. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere seemed soaked in indifference. The staff's rude behavior was a bitter flavor that lingered throughout my entire experience.

Attempting to order felt like an inconvenience to the staff. They managed to combine a lack of enthusiasm with a hint of disdain, making me question why they chose to work in customer service. It was a struggle just to get a simple coffee order placed.

Now, let's talk about the food – or lack thereof. The tasteless offerings seemed like a cruel joke played by a chef who had never encountered basic culinary principles. Every bite was a reminder that flavor and the concept of seasoning were absent from their culinary vocabulary.

The ambiance, instead of providing a cozy retreat, was an awkward mix of uncomfortable furniture and uninviting lighting. It was as if the cafe aimed to be an anti-oasis, draining any joy from the experience.

In summary, this cafe managed to combine unfriendly staff, tasteless cuisine, and an atmosphere that made me want to escape at the earliest opportunity. It's safe to say that I won't be revisiting this culinary disaster...

I stayed in Manali for over 45 days and had a wonderful experience overall—until this incident.

I had seen some reviews mentioning rude behavior from the owners of this café, but I assumed they were exaggerated and decided to give the place a chance after listening to their soothing music from outside. Unfortunately, my experience confirmed those warnings:

Staff members were physically fighting with each other inside the kitchen.

The owners attempted to overcharge us for items we hadn’t even ordered.

When asked for clarification, they became verbally abusive and threatening.

The owner may appear friendly at first but is unpredictable and unprofessional. This kind of behavior not only reflects poorly on the cafe itself but also harms the reputation of the peaceful Vashisht village as a whole.

To Indian travelers in particular: please be cautious. The negative reviews you see are not exaggerations. If you’re a foreign tourist, you might have a different experience, but I would encourage you to consider carefully before supporting a place that treats...

Raasta Cafe is the best thing you can do to yourself when you visit Manali. Doesn't matter if you're backpacking solo, taking yo girl out or vacationing with ma papa, Raasta is the hook you need. Run by the coolest brother duo Pankaj and Ankur, this place has the best vibe with a hip mix of croud. They have this cool hangout lounge/cafe kinda setup you just can't get over. Theirs is a super inclusive food menu, and best picks of drinks. Dedicated parking with super cool rooms. Rooms have a clear view of snow laden mountains. I couldn't help myself telling people about it right away , so doing it as I sit comfortably at their bar (sort of) sipping in the best mojito I have...
