Cafe Chica, Abbotsford Heritage Hotel — Restaurant in Nainital

I recently visited this place. This place is very close to nainital high court. Accessible by car and bike. I reached by bike taxi. But once you reach this place, you will feel like being in a very offbeat hill station. They maintained the place very beautifully. I was first confused after reaching because this place was looked like a personal property far beyond what usual cafe looked. Exactly like the photos. I spent like 2/3hrs because I needed a quiet place to work in my system. And it was the perfect, no usual crowd of Nainital. Surrounded by green mountains. Otherwise it was very difficult to find a peaceful cafe in main Nainital.

I ordered pizza, tea and lemonade. Pizza was perfect for one person and taste was good. I was super surprised by seeing the service. The price is slightly on higher side but not that much if you compare the services. its too coming with such a great service and location. Any good ambience restaurant in city usually charge much higher.

One suggestion: if you want to visit this property, call them and reserve your table in advance. Because they don’t want to make the vibe of this property a crowded commercial place. They are maintaining the heritage vibe of the property. Appreciate...

Chica a was a downright disappointment, we ordered a chicken mains and it was horrible. The chicken was tough and stringy. The bread was store bought regular bread. One would expect better service at this price point. The chicken breast was a tiny piece, we didn’t finish it, was very chewy and flavourless. It was priced at Rs, 800 plus. We ordered sandwiches, chicken and 2 meat sandwiches, they were a joke, the bread was regular store bought bread, small in size, the chicken or meat was sparse, they had kept some cucumber onion mayo spread in a small bowl, was it had mentioned that there would be peppers. Which I could not find. They were priced around 600rs each. Terrible is an understatement.

The ambience was good, despite the hostile manager. We had gone there with our girls, all grown up, there was one more couple there, we were playing cards on the table while waiting for food, she came and stopped our game saying that you are not allowed to play sports here, weird definition for cards. One of my daughters, a young teen was walking around in the garden, she was asked not to roam around. Truly I was aghast by their hospitality or lack of it. The statements were downright rude and not at...

Cafe chica is located in a beautiful environment with views of the naini hills. Although the view is great everything else is underwhelming. You are made to sit on flimsy furniture and the servers although polite don't know anything about the menu. The food and beverages are very bad and don't justify the amount being charged for them becuase it is so bad. Every dish I was served had a flaw in it either it was overcooked or undercooked or it was very salty or raw and the beverages were even worse when I ordered an ice tea I was served the packaged ice tea although this is not a bad thing to be serving packed iced tea but what makes it bad is the fact that the ice tea powder was not even completely dissolved in the water and settled down in the glass. The only saving grace was the view and the polite and sweet lady who was managing the place but the bad food overall left a bad impression. I would suggest the management to update their food,beverages and furniture and bring it to par with their...
