Last night was really an amazing experience. We had a lot of fun, I don't think I faced any issues with the staff or the food as it was great and the view was really amazing. This place does define it's title 'Social Soul' as people over here are really friendly and do match your vibe.

Vibe is spot on here ,music was soothing and the crowd was quite international and mature enough to understand the private space of any individual, i really enjoyed my time af this cafe every time i visited. I think it has a good mix of everything that Rishikesh needs to offer The staff was too kind to offer us everything we asked them for. ALL IN ALL 4.5 stars from my end

Such a chill vibe! — the owner was super friendly, the music sets the perfect mood, and there are also a few games to keep things fun. The drinks were really nice too — I loved the Espresso Tonic and Cranberry! The outdoor seating is nice and cozy and perfect for hanging out. Whether you're here to unwind or catch up with friends, I’d definitely recommend stopping by!

Social Soul Cafe in Rishikesh is a must-visit spot that not only offers breathtaking views but also serves exceptional food. Mr. Priyanshu is so humble and loving he made my stay there more memorable thanks to him. The café's cozy ambiance, combined with its stunning setting overlooking the scenic beauty of Rishikesh, makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a memorable meal. Highly recommended for both the food and the experience!

Here is a detailed review! We ended up there because we were looking for a cafe open at 11.30pm it was on 3rd floor, hidden like a true gem. It was worth every single step. Let's start with food We ordered Lebanese platter, Stake rice bowl(Veg), It was recommended by the owner, but we recommend it to all, and Mix sauce pasta( one of the best i have ever had), every single of the food item was better than the other, bombing your palette with soulful flavours. Ambience: It was good and clean, we just missed the live singing as the musician was packing when we arrived but sitting, and overall ambience was worth the wait. Service: The staff is really polite and they take their time to cook food so plan accordingly, service was not delayed but again good food take time. P.S.: I don't click food pictures but their stake bowl presentation made me rethink my decision so the only food pic i clicked from the whole trip.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place! The coffee is some of the best I've had – you can tell they use high-quality beans . I ordered Paneer steak rice bowl and bruschetta, it was perfectly made. The Pancake was also fantastic, fresh ingredients and really tasty. The staff were all super friendly and the cafe itself has a lovely, relaxed vibe. Definitely coming back!
