When I was in Dehradun, I started exploring and reviewing restaurants as a hobby even before Zomato was launched in the city. And then, it was one after the other, review after review until I was to write an article on 10 Best Cafes in Dehradun. It was then during my research that I came across this quaint little café at Pritam Road. That was 2013 and I would love to say that my views on Raazmataaz still hasn’t changed.
First of all, finding this cafe can be a bit tricky especially if you are not a Doonite. Well, I am one but I still end up getting lost or following a dead end (oh-so-bad-with-directions). Anyways, I have moved out of Doon after marriage but I keep coming to the city during vacations/leave, once or twice a year.
So, my latest visit to Raazmataaz was with my husband (tada!). I desperately wanted to show him this place because I love it.
AMBIENCE
I can go gaga over the café’s ambience. The café dons a nautical theme on the outside whilst on the inside, it has a rustic touch. The location is serene and the vibes are calm. You can sit here for hours just mesmerizing the beauty or taking selfies in the picturesque background.
FOOD
Their menu is quite regular. But the overall experience that you get is EXCEPTIONAL! It is like meditation in itself. And that adds to the taste. You know, what I mean! You tend to enjoy food more because the vibe is so good. Even the staff is non-interfering as if they are trained to allow the customers to have (as much) time to unwind.
In a nutshell, it is exclusively for those who would like to spend a quiet brunch or a peaceful evening away from the hustle bustle of the city.
