The lassi was decent, though the place is a bit rough around the edges. Tucked down an alley, took me a minute to find it. Fine for a quick drink, but I wouldn&#39;t go out of my way.

Stopped by for breakfast near Assi Ghat. The homemade brown bread was fresh, really good with the eggs. Staff let me sit a while without rushing me. Prices felt fair for what you get. Place gets a bit busy later, so go early if you want a quiet table.

The chicken wings were solid and hit the spot. Portion size felt a bit small for what we paid, but the place had a nice chill vibe.

Came here with a couple of friends after exploring the area. The food was decent, nothing crazy but it hit the spot. Service was a bit slow though, we waited a while for our order. Location is super handy if you&#39;re staying nearby. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if we&#39;re in the area again, but not my first pick. 😅

Been here a few times now. The Thai green curry with rice is solid and the veg ramen hits the spot. Service is quick too. Just expect a wait if you come during rush hour.

The regular thali is the way to go&mdash;decent price and food&rsquo;s always fresh. Deluxe one feels overpriced for what you get. Service was a bit slow today, but whatever. Quick bite sorted.

The pasta here is properly al dente, not the mushy stuff you get at most places. Chef clearly knows what he&#39;s doing with the sauces. Might be too tangy for some but I loved it.

The cappuccino here was properly made&mdash;rich, not too milky. I tried the chocolate gluten-free dessert too, actually really good. Place was a bit busy when I went but the coffee alone makes it worth stopping by. Would come back just for that.

The Maharaja curry here is something else&mdash;kinda like fried noodles with sauce, never had that anywhere else in India. Chicken curry was solid too, cheese naan did the job. Place was busy but we got seated quick. Not the cheapest, but you pay for what you get. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area.

The thali was solid, chicken stroganoff too. Place feels like a palace, honestly. Service was fine but a bit patchy when it got busy.

We came here on a weekday evening, place was busy but not too crowded. Had the dal rice and aloo baja, both were simple and tasted like proper home food. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Only thing is, if you&#39;re with a few people, the wait can be a bit long since they cook in small batches. Fine for a casual meal though.

Came here for the river view and the ghats&mdash;honestly that&rsquo;s the best part. Food was okay, nothing crazy. Had the paneer dish, it was fine but could&rsquo;ve used more spice. Service took a while, but the guys were polite about it. If you&rsquo;re here for the scenery, it&rsquo;s worth stopping by.

Came here mainly for the riverside seating, and yeah, the view is pretty stunning. Ordered the pure veg thali, everything tasted fresh and properly spiced. Service took a while though, we waited nearly 20 mins for our food. But honestly the dal and paneer made up for it. Would sit outside again if the weather&#39;s nice.

Bamboo mutton biryani was the star &mdash; rich, smoky, proper flavour. Desserts were decent too. Service dragged though, only one or two guys handling the whole floor. Took a while to get the bill. Food made it worth it.

We ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan, both came out quick. Food was decent, not gonna lie. But they were out of two things we wanted, that was a bit annoying. Place is easy to spot though, right on the main road. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re nearby.

The food was fresh and tasty, and the staff made sure we were comfortable. Nice spot to escape the busy streets of Varanasi.

The outdoor seating here has such a nice view of the Ganga, honestly perfect for hanging out with friends. We grabbed some chai and snacks, which were decent. Didn&rsquo;t try the full meals, but the vibe alone makes it worth stopping by. Just don&rsquo;t expect anything fancy food-wise. 😅

Been coming here for a while now. The mango cake is decent, not gonna lie. Apple pie crust was a bit overbaked last time, kinda hard to bite through. But the place has that cozy vibe in Bengali Tola, always a mix of people. I keep coming back for the atmosphere more than anything else. Good enough for a quick stop when you&#39;re wandering around.

The rooftop view of Assi Ghat and the Ganges is the real deal here. Sat there for a good hour just watching the river. Veg thali was fresh, cooked properly, not oily like some places. Service was fine, they let me sit without rushing. Only thing is the stairs to get up there, bit of a climb. But the view makes up for it.

Funky decor and great vibes, though the playlist could use some fresh tracks. Their cocktail pairing with the mains was spot on.

The dum biryani was good and the menu has plenty of options, from North Indian to dosa. Liked that they ask for feedback at the end. Seating was comfortable too.

Stopped here after walking around Dashashwamedh Ghat. Had the thali, pretty solid for the price. Cold coffee was decent too. AC felt amazing after the heat outside. Place is clean, nothing fancy but does the job. Service was quick enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The vibe was nice, dim lights and all. But the kitchen smell kept creeping in, kinda ruined the mood. I could smell the frying oil even while eating. Not a dealbreaker, but I wish the ventilation was better. Food was okay, but that smell stuck with me the whole time.

Gopal kept the chutneys and vinegar onions coming, food was decent. Service made it a pretty good meal.

Tandoori fish tikka was spot on, juicy and smoky. Chicken lollipop good too. Service fine, prices decent for what you get. Been twice, both times solid.

Stopped by for a quiet breakfast and it did the job. Americano was solid, staff were polite. My sparrow breakfast came out a little cold though, and the fruit was mostly hard bananas. Not a big deal, just something to know. Place is easy to find, right off the main road. Fine if you want a simple, no-fuss meal.
