Cafe is located in the temple itself. After climbing up in a good weather, your taste buds would look something delicious and this small canteen provides food items with amazing taste. We tried curry rice, rajma rice, mix pakode and coffee here. Each and every item was yummy and tasty. Prices are genuine. Place is hygienic. You must try out something here.

This cafeteria is situated inside the temple itself. After you reach the temple and have darshan and click some amazing pictures you can visit here to enjoy the snacks. It will be surely raining there when you'll visit s order a plate of Pakora and tea to complete the trip. You can also order noodles which was quite good in taste and bread pakora as well. You will get dip tea here. Everything was great including the staff and service.
