The Sitting Elephant - A Rooftop Restaurant Overlooking River Ganga

Basant Srivastava 24 months ago

Very nice dining experience and fabulous view from rooftop restaurant sitting facing river curve of great Ganga. Staff very cooperative and helpful. We immediately decided to visit again next day for Lunch after previous day's dinner while we were staying in Haridwar one hour drive away. Moreover we were very pleasantly surprised with a live instrumental classical music with a artist of high calibre just after we finished our dining at about 7pm. We stayed back for sometime to enjoy very soothing music. Overall a great enjoyment and definitely recommend. The interested people in live music may plan the visit past 7pm.

Went in at about 5.30pm and the place was deserted but beautiful. We were the only ones there that we doubted if the restaurant was open or not- the reception lady did say it was open after getting our details (on a book).

Situated on the rooftop (almost) of Ellbee hotel this place has taken online processes to the next level. Digital bills, digital receipts and all- only if the reception and order was also digitised, it’d be totally touch free????

Coming to the food, we ordered a pizza and 3 drinks. All of them were tasty. Pizza isn’t authentic, and is more of an American style pizza, but it did taste good. The cold beverages were slightly over sweet, but still yummy- coke float, cold coffee and peach ice tea. I don’t know what they used for the peach ice tea but it had a very unique and nice flavour, but again too sweet.

The service was warm. The ambiance was lovely and the place felt great for an evening hangout.

Absolutely loved the food!! ???????? And awesome service by #Prakash
Very pleasant dining experience and fantastic view from rooftop restaurant facing Great Ganga???? river curve. Very friendly and cooperative staff. We came for lunch, and the meal was fantastic! Everything was well prepared. The servicing volume is also sufficient. You may place your order online before you even get to the restaurant thanks to their computerized menu. Restaurant serves only vegetarian food.
We lingered for a while to take in the scenery.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly suggest it. Live music enthusiasts may arrange their visits for later than 7 o'clock in evening.
