It is one of my favourite places to have any kind of Asian food. The concept is amazing and the food is just out of the world. I am yet to see more polite staff in any of the other places I have visited. They even made some changes in the dish for us. I highly recommend trying something spicy if you visit, on request they might adjust the spice level for you. Tip: try to visit during the evening , the view of sunset from this place is just magical and combined with the food it's just (chef's kiss). It might be a little off way for some people but it is the type of place you just cannot skip, especially if you love Asian/pan Asian food.

One of the best offbeat cafes in Dehradun. It’s tucked away in its own corner offering a good view. The food is really good and has great flavour. I loved the Malaysian Laksa and momos. The cherry on top was the blueberry smoothie.

Really reasonably priced food. We had the crispy honey chilli potatoes which were just perfect. And the chicken soup was delicious. Translucent momos were quite nice. Even the beverages were pretty good. Nice sunset views and good service. Good place to sit and study at. Had their Saag Wala Chicken with Multigrain rotis special on our second visit. Just amazing!!

One of my favorite places to work on. Monastery Cafe is literally my peaceful spot. Whenever I feel low or tense, I come here. This place is so stress free and overwhelming that no one can be pissed off here. I would highly recommend this cafe to those who want to enjoy peace, cozy, and beautiful environment.

We ordere veg momos, and our momos got cold because we eere talking so waiter asked us if he could reheat it. Thats a very genuine behavious. Very happy and good experince. Must visit here. Noodles were very tasty. To be very frank momos was not that good but overall good experience.

The most delicious food you can ever find on the roadside. It’s a cute little place with a calming view, super service by very attentive people who seem like a family. I ordered a mushroom chicken breast and it was no less than a 5 star experience and the portions are huge. Pizza, fried rice, everything was very delicious, good looking and filling. Had it been closer to the city, would’ve had my meals only there.
