Great place. Excellent service. Live music usually on the weekends. Worth a visit any time you are in manali!

Definitely the best food I had in manali. The place has a good vibe and there are live bands usually playing. A huge variety of good food options to choose from all of which is extremely tasty and savory. The service is a delight and the staff is courteous as well. The place also gives hookahs with coal refill.

You can enjoy magical evenings with live music here. They have great chicken tikka! Also tried pizza and soup. All were good. Well behaved staffs. But prices are little heigher. But if you compare with the experience it’s justified. Washrooms are clean also have smoking zone. Only Non alcoholic beverages are served here.

If you are in Manali, then you must go to this amazing cafe located on the Mall Road! They also keep a live music performance in the weekend! Talking about the food, I really liked the Pasta! Overall, I had a great time at this beautiful cafe! 🤓

This was my second time in Manali but it’s the first time I have came here. Absolutely loved the vibe. If you are someone who likes the quit and cozy atmosphere where you can just sit and have some coffee or drink than this is not your place. This place is buzzing. From the time you enter to the time you leave the place will keep you energetic. We had coffee and brownie with ice cream and it was delicious. You can come here with your friends or partner and you won’t regret your decision. Overall rating : 5 Food quality : 5 Food quantity: 5 Ambiance: 5 (it was actually 10😉) Hygiene : 5 Value for money: 5 One of the best cafe to visit in Manali for your next visit. Go for it. 💯

It was amazing. I enjoyed and I highly recommend this place to any couples and family as well. Ambience was superb Food is good Live music is mind-boggling fantastic. Loved it. More than 5 stars from my side.

A cafe with very good ambience with great food in the town. If lucky you could get to listen to live music sessions. A place to hang out as couples and as a group on Mall road. But watch out during peak times as seats might get filled.

Perhaps the best place to chill and eat food in the market. Ambience - really good. Warm, modern, yet classic. Cozy - but in the afternoon, the cafe felt a bit stuffy as the ACs were off. Live music was a great addition, and it was Good live music - not just for the sake of it Service - Front door host was amicable. Prompt service. The waiters could be educated a tad better about the menu, but they're fast on their feet. Taste - Coffee was good (though nothing extra ordinary - no special beans). The Bacon Burger was delicious, although the portion size was small for the price. The live music, the ambience, and the lack of anything better in the market makes this place worth a visit.

Best ambience, live bands inside are great! Staff is very very friendly. Food presentation is amazing and taste is very good. However coffee did disappoint me. But overall a must visit place if you are in old Manali!

Lovely Ambience, a great place for couples and friends. A must visit place in manali Drinks are worth trying for. Live show can also be experiencing here.

We went on New Year's eve. The cafe is not that big but it is beautifully decorated. You'll enjoy the ambience. We ordered a Margherita pizza and Sangria (must try) drink. Food was absolutely lip-smacking and also their drinks. Definitely try it out.

I came to this place as a cynic and walked out a loyal fan 🫶 From private booths for couples to dine to melodious LIVE music, from lip smacking tandoori tikkas to refreshing green apple coolers, from courteous staff mates to active registry personnel, Cafe 1986 is a place to be!

One of the most happening and amazing places to vibe in at manali mall road. Food here is mouth smacking. Recommended for sure ❤️

One of the best dining options in Manali. Located at prime location on mall road, one can enjoy weather and food with live music. Food quality is also good. Place is properly maintained and hygienic. Staff is also very helpful and service is very fast. Overall a good experience.

Decent place with live music nights. We ordered a pizza, one of their speciality and it did not disappoint! A bit heavy in pocket though. Good ambience to hang out with friends and family.

One of the most happening places on Mall Road. Ambience is truly spectacular - with the live music and the upbeat decor. Food prices are a bit on the higher side but it is really good. No alcohol is served here, but this place does roaring business due to its vibe and food. Must visit when on Mall Road !

We came here for the vibe and we were definitely not disappointed! We visited the place in the evening and it was packed! The atmosphere was lively, the decorations and lighting gave modern yet retro old school bar look. We had ordered a grill pesto chicken sandwich and hazelnut cappuccino. Pesto was just right in the sandwich and the coffee was simply amazing- must try! They had live music playing which was cherry on top - it was a local band and did a mashup of all time music with their own rap; we prolonged our stay just to hear them longer. The service staff was a bit rude and curt- they asked us to leave as soon as we finished our food- probably to accommodate the waiting crowd - however the push was a dent in the overall experience. Still we would totally visit the place just for the music and vibe.

The place exuded a great vibe , with delicious food 😋 and drinks that added to the overall enjoyment. Live music was also great 👍

It was an amazing experience to be hosted by cafe 1986. The food quality and quantity amazed me when I saw and tasted the first bite that i can't explain in words. We were hosted by Abhishek and he did a fabulous job and also offered extra time for sisha. Live music makes it more pleasing and relaxing.

This is the best restaurant/cafe in Mall Road and even the entire Manali, considering its food taste, quality, service and ambience. Live music is amazing! Thanks to Karma for great service!!

The vibe of this cafe is something which only the people who love live music and cozy ambiance can understand. It was my second visit to Manali and Cafe 1986. The choice of songs sung by the band is also something to look forward to. And lastly the view of the Mall road. 🎡🎡🎡🎡😍😍😍

Good place. Live music. Good food and good service. But it would have been nice if they had maintained bathroom well.

Little expensive but a superb cafe on the mall road of Manali. Food is interestingly presented. I found it good if not excellent. Live music was an added bonus. We had a good time dining. Definitely worth visiting if you are interested in Italian food.

I loved the cafe homemade pizza here. It was amazing and their brownie too. Their live music is awesome. When we went we probably heard someone named riyaz singing and he was too good. Made our day. But cost here is slightly higher.

It was a great experience with cafe1986. They serve best food with awesome music. Please do visit
