The Bend at Malsi Road is never to be missed. Very creatively, they have named each of their floors. The ground floor is called The Bean, which serves coffee and continental dishes. The first floor is called Bowl and Curry, which serves Asian food, and the second floor is Beat, which caters mostly to parties. The menu is very elaborate and contains almost everything you could ask for.

Ground floor: The Bean - Coffee and Continental Coffee, tea, cold brew, frappe, iced coffee Juices, mocktails, smoothies, shakes Breakfast, burgers, salads, sandwiches Pastas, risotto, pizzas, dimsums, rice bowls

First floor: Bowl and Curry - Asian Cuisine - Salad, chaat (peanut, aaloo, palak, kurkuri bhindi) Starters like tikkas, seekh, platters. There are Curries to choose from , rice, biryani, and bread.

The staff are welcoming, and the decor is excellent with lots of creative wall hangings. It’s very slick, not jarring at all. The lighting is also brilliant, with lights hung on the ceiling in a woven pattern with a wooden border, resembling the doors of traditional houses.

Menu Highlights for us were: Grilled Fish in Lemon Butter Sauce (Grilled Vietnamese Basa or Sole fish with lemon butter garlic sauce, served with parsley butter rice or mashed potatoes, sautéed veggies, and fries); Konjee Crispy Mushroom and Khow Suey.

The host, Dinesh, was really helpful and accommodating. He was attentive, prompt with delivering dishes, and had a good understanding of the menu and its ingredients.

In summary, The Bend at Malsi Road offers a delightful dining experience with its diverse menu, excellent decor, and outstanding service. Whether you're in the mood for coffee, continental, or Asian cuisine, this café has something...

The Bend is a posh restaurant that caters to someone who likes a quiet meal, with a glass of wine or whiskey. The atmosphere is cozy and the music isn't too loud. This in turns makes you hear your partner if you are on a date, or just enjoy the meal by yourself without damaging your eardrums. There is plenty of lighting inside, without blinding your eyes. The color palates are bold and simple. There's ample parking space.

Now coming to the food, I spent three years in Gurgaon and I hadn't had a single place serve me a well cooked mutton like I found it done at The Bend. My sincere compliments to the chef.

So all in all, an absolute delight to dine here, and I can confidently say that this is my go to place from now on. Wish they were open a bit late at night though, 10:30pm is too soon to shut their doors. Also a suggestion, they should put up some signs outside the boundary of their parking space towards the road, because if you are going from dehradun to mussoorie in a low slung sedan you may totally miss the place, as I did on my first go.

Edit: Since I stay right near the place I tend to order a lot from this restaurant and it pains me to see the quality of food has degraded in the last few months. Undercooked mutton, terrible pasta. Even the lahori aloo we ordered a few weeks ago had undercooked potato. Maybe they changed their chef. Who knows but this establishment definitely lost me as their...
