The TipTop Restaurant — Restaurant in Rishikesh

Located near Natraj Chowk on Dehradun Road, Tip Top Restaurant is a longstanding establishment in Rishikesh, serving food since 1962. My recent visit to this eatery, now situated in Muni Ki Reti, Dhalwala, left me with mixed impressions, but it’s a spot worth considering for non-vegetarian food in a city where such options are scarce.

Portions were generous, and the pricing felt reasonable, with our meal costing around ₹600 for two.

Service was quick, with food arriving within 15 minutes, but hygiene raised concerns. The plates were clean, yet the overall upkeep of the place made me question kitchen standards. Another downside was the pricing for some items, which felt steep for the quality—like the ₹80 plain naan.

For non-vegetarians visiting Rishikesh, Tip Top is a decent pick, especially for fish dishes, but don’t expect a fine-dining experience. If you’re craving spicy, hearty non-veg food, it’s worth a stop—just ask for milder flavors if spice isn’t your thing. With some improvements in cleanliness and consistency, Tip Top could truly shine. I’d rate it 3.5 out of 5, a practical choice in a...
