    Pathetic service - food quality is pathetic. Highly not recommended. You’ll feel disgusting here. The staff here is having next level attitude. If you’re around and searching for hotel, please don’t go to this restaurant.

    We ordered paneer hakka noodles, paneer kulcha, stuffed kulcha with dal makhani, and completed our meals with sweet lassi. Overall the restaurant was excellent and good for the family. They have an extensive menu, and everything is vegetarian. The only thing I felt could improve the noodles; was not hot enough when it reached our table.

    Very responsive attentive service. Good and tasty vegetarian food in that area. The people who took rooms in its surrounding hotels also came to dine here. It's a good hotel. Hotel should keep it up.

    One of the worst restaurant in banaras.... They serve masala dosa with dal tadka instead of sambhar.... Tomato soup is pathetic...looks they add colour in corn flour with vinegar for tanginess.... And when i asked it for repeat tbey clearly denied....

    We ordered the chutney was cold as uf taken right out of the fridger. The service was also very bad, and the food took too much time to be served. The stuffing was also stale. It was a very bad experience and we won't return for sure

    One of the best restaurant in varanasi. The food was delicious there and pocket friendly budgeted restaurant

  • 2/5 Sanjeev K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food quality was very poor. Within 2-3 days, during my stay with attached hotel, I found they mix old items with new one (25 & 75) to serve. I found coconut chutney was 2-3 days old and odour was not well. Aaloo- matar where potato was not good(may be 2-3 days old in July month) in taste but mixed with spices to cover. So, try to avoid as they compromise with quality. Although, after complain they replaced Aaloo -matar but only if you can identify taste otherwise.

  • 1/5 The P. 1 year ago on Google
    The only and most important reason : BECAUSE THEY GAVE US MENU CARD A HUGE ONE WITH LOT OF MENU. AND WE WAITED FOR 15 MIN WITH PLANS OF WHAT TO ORDER. WHEN THEY CAME TO TAKE ORDER, THEY SAID..we have only dosa. What the hell ? What were u waiting for ? Is this how u serve and treat ? Does business run like this ? Customers are God, remember this.. who gives only dosa in lunch. And that too doesn't inform. U should have told in the beginning while giving menu card !

    Nice place. Got to know from a YouTube video. Chinese South Indian North India. Deluxe Thali is a little overpriced at 250/plate, but the food was great and service too. 1Deluxe Thali is more than enough for 1 person, and can be shared by 2 if you eat less.

    I am Right now in the Restaurant and I had Ordered 1hour ago and the Dish is not Serve Yet.... Service is Very Poor and I gave them Bad Rating.

  • 5/5 Vishal K. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Good T. 1 year ago on Google
    Not that great food avalable here,Its ok to try it here.

  • 4/5 Vikram R. 1 year ago on Google
    A little pricey compared to other available options, however an exhaustive veg menu to choose from. All places in the surrounding areas have good food so quality is not an issue. If you want a reasonably good veg restaurant with a reasonably good ambience, this place is a good option. They can accommodate large families as well.

  • 2/5 kiran k. 1 year ago on Google
    I order veg fried rice, manchurian fried rice, gobi chilli and all of em tastes the same they must have used the same masala or smth. I got bored of eating the dishes after 7 to 8 bites. The place looks fine the walls and the seats were okay but when i looked at the floor it was full of roti crumbs. They just serve the food to u and u can serve it to urself thats fine. You'll have to be pateince to have food. well u can come here but wouldn't suggest more then once.

    Ordered cold coffee, vanila shake and pizza. Cold coffee was nice, but vanila shake taste like raw milk and even pizza wasn't that good.

  • 4/5 Aayushman S. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall the restaurant is good in terms of food taste and service but if you eat spicy food then it's not recommended.

  • 4/5 Ashwin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good, almost authentic South Indian food. Thali is quite generous. At times it gets really crowded and waiting times are long.

  • 1/5 Esha J. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vedant 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Very high quality and tasty food . But service is very late and not efficient. Chefs are doing there best. Please eat Balaji special curry with butter rotties. Rest all is good. Go during afternoons and before 8:30p.m to avoid rush
