I have been to this place like "n-th" times, It's like our good to go place.. But to be honest it's modestly overpriced.. a plate of chicken steamed momos (8 pieces) will cost you around 260 + taxes, I ain't complaining, every Fine Dining Restaurant/Cafe here will cost you this much, but I believe when you are at hill place, go local, have authentic kumaoni food (that's missing here).... but yeah the Food Is Good, I personally like there 1. Veg Soups (esp. lemon coriander soup), 2. chicken momos (but few members of my family doesn't even like the smell of it, bcz the inside filling is not cooked , but steamed)... I like giving detailed description, bcz to each his own liking... Moving on to next.. we usually have our dinner here... Do try there 3. Tawa chicken curry, with 4. Garlic naan (do try their garlic naan, rather than normal Butter naan), 5.Daal Makhani is delicious 6. Chicken malai tikka is Also good. Didn't liked there Roasted Chicken (it was quite dry), there are many more things on list.. but I don't want you to stop experiencing, try whatever you like.. Because FOOD IS GOOD HERE and QUANTITY IS ENOUGH FOR 2, you can ask servers to customise food accordingly.. THE BEST THING.. the reason we keep going back here is the way they treat, their humble nature... the Frank nature of owner, (akki bhaiya), talk to him about anything and you'll instantly feel comfortable.. the servers are welcoming and take each order of ours with so many do's and don'ts readily. Now coming on to location.. it's on main road connecting bheemtal- bhowali, mehragaon.. one can easily spot it through google maps, seating arrangements is good.. ambience is casual and refreshing.. P.S- helpful note for those who are new, petrol-pump is just opposite to this place.

Must visit place when in Bhimtal. Let's start with staff. The only thing they can do better is service but I will give it to them because this restaurant is completely full at least on the peak meal times. When we went to this place around 3 pm, this place was completely full except 2 tables. But on the other side, the staff is friendly and will assist you once they get free from waiting other tables. Good things take time and this restaurant truly resembles this. Coming to the vibe of the place. Amazing. Music playing with so much crowd that you not feel at loss here. Families, friends, couples. You will find everyone here. The views from the restaurant is amazing. Scenic mountain views of ranges and you can also see Bhimtal lake from here. Now the crux of the matter. Food. Finger-licking. Such great taste and served with simple garnishing. Once you taste the food, you will not forget it for a very long time. This might be one of the best places in entire Uttarakhand to be honest. The prices are also not very expensive. You will get the value for your money here for sure. And the menu is so huge, there is some dish or the other for everyone here. Take my word and get to this place. For me this is a repeat restaurant whenever I am in Bhimtal.

Utterly disgusting and disgraceful place which not only shows no respect for a person's religious values but their health as well. They have come up with a new invention where they are serving a new dish- Bone wala Kadahi Paneer. This has happened for the second time with us. It happened sometime back when a bone had been found in Arhar Dal and my father simply spoke to the chef and made him understand. He paid the bill even after such an incident. But it was unbearable this time since the owner, Mr. Akhilesh Semwal not only refused to take accountability of this shameless incident but also made statements like 'I am unable to understand how something like this happened with you twice'. There was a female counter manager at that time who at least showcased professional decency and apologized profusely for this inconvenience. She checked the bone piece and confirmed that it was a huge blunder. However, Mr. Akhilesh arrogantly tried to not own up to his restaurant's misdemeanour. A bone is factually a bone but he made statements like 'if you are saying this is a bone, I will believe you' as if it could be anything else. He didn't try to pacify us but acted in a really defensive manner. For a vegetarian person, it is not only a disrespect for his religious values but also a health hazard where the bone could have easily choked him if he had not taken it out at the right time. Mr. Akhilesh's behaviour was extremely shameful and neglectful. He asked us not to pay for the food. However, his lack of sensitivity was really shocking about the incident as if it was every other day thing for him. He was more concerned about us not creating a scene at the place rather than attending to our misery. A family goes out to enjoy food on specific occasions so they can enjoy being in each other's company and make memories. But Machan not only proved to be a disaster but also ruined such a special occasion for us. I would urge food safety officer of Nainital and other respected authorities like FSSAI to cancel their license to run a restaurant if such blunder happens in serving the food to their guests. Highly disappointing and shameful. Never visiting this place again ever!

My family and I recently dined at Machaan in Bhimtal, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were pleased to find that they offered a high chair for our little ones, making our dining experience hassle-free from the get-go. The ambiance of the restaurant was truly exceptional, providing a serene and inviting atmosphere for diners of all ages. However, it was the culinary offerings that truly stole the show. We indulged in a variety of dishes including Malai Kofta, Paneer Tawa Masala, Dum Aloo Banarasi, Garlic Naan, Stuffed Kulcha, Fruit Cream, Gajar ka Halwa, and Gulab Jamun, and each item surpassed our expectations in terms of taste and presentation. Furthermore, the convenience of ample parking added to the overall positive experience. Despite the high-quality food and ambiance, we were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable pricing, making Machaan an excellent value for money. In conclusion, Machaan is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Bhimtal. We look forward to returning soon to indulge in their delectable offerings once again.

Our recent lunch at Machan Restaurant in Bhimtal was a delightful experience. Nestled with a stunning view of the valley, the restaurant offers a perfect blend of great food and a serene atmosphere. The seating arrangements are comfortable, allowing guests to enjoy the picturesque surroundings while relishing their meals. Machan serves a wide variety of cuisines, including English Breakfast, Chinese, Indian, and Italian, catering to diverse tastes. We opted for Indian dishes and were thoroughly impressed. The Mix Veg was fresh and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the soft and buttery Butter Naan. The Missi Roti was wholesome and delicious, while the Paneer Lababdar was rich, creamy, and full of authentic spices. Each dish was a treat to the palate. The staff were friendly, attentive, and generous, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. The lovely atmosphere, combined with the delicious food and warm hospitality, made our visit memorable. Machan Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Bhimtal, offering not just a meal but a complete sensory delight.
