Niyati Cafe: Places to eat food in Varanasi
After visiting Dashashwamedh Ghat we were really very hungry so we went to a really amazing
The cafe is named Niyati Cafe and it’s a very small restaurant that serves varieties of cuisine including continental, American, and Indian
we definitely preferred authentic Indian food and also ordered rice, dal, and aloo gobi ki sabzi. The food served here is very simple and very yummy,
And the best part about the restaurant is everything is fresh.
The owner of the restaurant is a very very sweet guy and he and his wife manages the restaurant while she prepares the food and he manages the restaurant.
A maximum of 15 people could be accommodated in the restaurant and we would definitely recommend this place and everyone must go there.
Lanka :Pahalwan dudh centre
In Varanasi there is a place called Lanka which is far away from the place where we were staying and
after reading some blog recommendations in search of some amazing chat to our disappointment we did not find anything over there.
But we found there was an amazing street food called the Chura matar which we saw just exploring the streets.
There’s nothing so great about the place.
And accidentally the best part about going to Lanka was the Pahalwan dudh center where you get the yummiest Gajar ka halva
we had the Balushahi Steaming hot flavored milk is very famous during winter in Varanasi and we were wondering why everyone drank the milk
At this point, very frankly after tasting the milk, we found out why!!!
The milk tastes amazing with the essence of cardamom and because it’s being boiled for a longer time it gets that creamy texture.
The boiling milk is served in kulhad which also enhances the milk’s taste
also The longer it is boiled the better it tastes and it’s a must-try beverage in Banaras.
Kashi chaat centre :Godowlia
Kashi chaat center located near the Godowlia chawk in Varanasi serves one of the best chaats in Varanasi
it opens only in the evening by 6 pm and is always with crowd. So we had this amazing tamatar Chaat, dahi vada, tikki chaat, paani puri,
and Chura matar (of course because I loved it the last time we had it)
I will recommend Kashi chat Centre to everyone who visits Varanasi just because of the amazing tamatar Chaat
Additionally I never ever had such an amazing chat ever.
Also, the service is very fast and every item is steaming hot n fresh.
Sweet shops in Gowdowlia chawk
Sweets in Varanasi especially the ones which is with milk are totally recommendable
because the milk is very fresh and they make all the sweets with that fresh milk and is fresh
We had Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla, ras malai, and Cham cham and everything is very tasty and fresh.
During Winter almost everyone in the town relishes the hot flavored milk on the chilly nights of Varanasi.
If you are craving something warm and tasty definitely its the steaming hot creamy milk of Varanasi.
Chai Samosa and Boondi: Dashashwamedh Ghat
While walking towards the Dashashwamedh ghat the street has loads of shops that sell samosa chai and boondi, and
I must say it’s really worth giving a try I assure you the taste won’t disappoint you instead you will feel like having them more.
Litti Chokah: Rajendra Prasad Ghat
While we were strolling along the ghats we found this street vendor selling litti chokha and it was really amazing to have the authentic taste even at a local place.
Paan : Places to eat food in Varanasi
Paan is the soul of Varanasi and paan shop is there in every nook and corner of the city.
Well to be very frank every shop serves a really good plan as we had multiple shops and can’t decide which one was best.
The vendors would make it according to the taste which you like.
Also, the size of the paan here is slightly bigger than the usual ones.
Steaming hot idlies : Godowlia Chawk
For the morning breakfast, we had steaming hot Idlies and coconut chutney with loads of mustard seeds on top from a small street vendor outside our hotel.
We were a little skeptical about having idly from north India as being a South Indian we love Idli and don’t like to experiment when it comes to south Indian cuisine but this is really good and we were extremely satisfied.
one of the best places to eat food in Varanasi
Aloo parathas from street vendors
As far as aloo paratha happily have it from the street vendors, its amazingly fresh and tasty
As far as what we experienced have the local food and have it from the crowded street vendors because the crowd indicates the taste of a particular locality of the city and the crowd also ensures that there’s something yummy food.
Poori sabzi Or kachoris
The streets shops and vendors of Varanasi serves these pooris or kachoris with aloo ( potato ) curry which is a must have and they have different variants in the recipes.
Malaiyo
It is a frothy pleasant and firm dessert found only during the winters of Banaras. This is the elegant composition of milk, Saffron, and several dry fruits, along with the most important ingredient, Dew.
Yes, this is the core reason why in winter is the availability of Dew. And trust me this would be a surprise for your taste buds.
