Tucked in a peaceful lane of Dehradun, Happy Heart Café is not just a café. It is a warm, joyful escape designed for food lovers, dreamers, and community seekers alike.
Founded by Nandini Gill, a passionate homemaker, and Manish Kumar Ravi, who previously served as Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy, the café was born from their shared desire to create a cozy, neighborhood-friendly space filled with soul, creativity, and, of course, irresistible food.
From the moment you step inside, you are embraced by a colorful blend of comfort and imagination. The walls are adorned with hand-painted tributes to legendary Bollywood stars, turning every visit into a walk through cinema nostalgia. But the artistry doesn’t end at the décor. It extends to every dish, drink, and thoughtful detail.
The menu is a celebration of global flavors, offering a wide variety of Indian, Chinese, and Continental cuisines, along with a vibrant selection of mocktails, shakes, herbal teas, and handcrafted coffee blends. Whether you are digging into spicy noodles, creamy pastas, flavorful curries, or light bites, every meal at Happy Heart Café is made fresh and garnished with a whole lot of love.
What truly sets Happy Heart Café apart is the way it blends food with fun and connection. The café features a table tennis (TT) corner for guests who want to unwind or challenge friends to a quick match. And if you are into movies, Saturday nights come alive with projector screenings of all-time favorites and Bollywood classics, transforming the café into a cozy open-air cinema or an intimate indoor movie night.
At Happy Heart Café, a homemaker’s warmth meets a sailor’s discipline. Together, they have created a space that reflects their journey—full of love, laughter, flavor, and community spirit. No wonder, Happy Heart Café won the title of ‘Best Open-Air Café’ at Dehradun Food Awards 2025.
So the next time you are in Dehradun, make sure to stop by. Whether it is for a cup of coffee, a hearty meal, a TT match, or a movie night, Happy Heart Café promises to leave you with a full stomach and a happy heart.
