    We had the luck of meeting Somit. He not only runs the restaurant but also a Yoga school and a nonprofit educational project for children. We had the chance to get involved with them and it was totally priceless. I strongly recommend to visit the place and allow yourself to discover them and make the most of your experience in Varanasi.

    The food was good and the terrace is a nice place to enjoy a bit of silence and calm in such a noisy city. The prices are a bit above average but they have many charity and volunteering projects so you know they end up in the right way. Recommended.

    I stayed 1 week with Somit and his team and it has been such a great experience. I could stay with the children of the school and I tought them spanish. It was so nice to be with them and share good moments. I also enjoyed the food from Bowl of Compassion and it was really tasty, natural and made with love. They have a nice terrasse where you can enjoy a delicious and calmed dinner. I would recommend everybody that comes to Varanasi to experience not only Somit yoga's training but also their food and what is more important, the school. I was really impressed about this project and I wish them all the best for the future.

    Somit was running yoga classes and my friends and I signed up to do an ashtanga class with him. It was clear 2 minutes in that he had no formal yoga teacher training as ashtanga yoga is taught the same all over the world and what he was ‘teaching’ was not that. I would really really really recommend against going- it can be dangerous being taught by someone who has no idea what they are doing. Especially since he was trying to get us to do quite difficult back bending poses with 0 warm up and incorrect adjustments. DO NOT GO AND DO YOGA HERE.

    I just came for an impromptu dinner, all the food is made fresh (which means I had to wait but nothing beats a book), and it was totally worth it! The place is part of a broader complexe also providing yoga trainings (look up Yoga Education Training Society), as well as food/education for poor children of Varanasi, so double pleasure to come here! Go without hesitation

    Here I felt peaceful environment and homely comfort. Host and his family is good. Foods of here is very healthy💪 and fresh. I have booked here dormitory room but host has given me private room it was very good but the interested thing is that he did not take any extra charge. Host also help for underprivileged kids and good yoga, astro teacher in varanasi. Rooftop is peaceful also and terrace has covered and no monkey when I have dried my clothes on rooftop it was safe and shanti place for meditation too.

    We could choose everything from the menu and they would prepare it fresh. We were the only costumers but the food was amazing, so fresh! The people working here are lovely and do really hard work for the charity. Eating here is a nice way to support them!!

    Regarding the food I cannot understand how this restaurant has got all of the good reviews. We ordered a thali, malai kofta and a soup but couldn’t finish it because it was simply unenjoyable. The paneer was smelly, dhal watery and malai kofta with no taste. The soup was slimy. Our friend who ate the soup was the I only one finishing his meal and also the only one having massive stomach problems the following night. It started about 1 hour after eating at bowl of compassion. It took over an hour for the food to arrive - that would’ve been okay if the food was tasty. Also I’ve had the worst mango lassi here that I ever tasted. Somit has been really nice and I really wished I could make a good review. Unfortunately I rather rate it bad so other people are not misinformed by the good reviews here.

    Atrocious food served in very bad atmosphere !! I doubt even about the charity they are claiming It's not the way to keep place in tact .. It was not clean not hygienic and the food was just terrible and expensive for no reason !! Beware

    My experience in this place was amazing, I felt like in home. I took a yoga class that was great, we went to the boat tour and I spent time with the kids. I bring with me the best of Varanasi in this family house. The rooftop was chill and the people very lovely. I feel grateful!

    Would honestly give this place a 10/10. Me and my girlfriend ate her a few times and the food is great value considering it is all homemade, traditional, local food. The rooftop is very peaceful considering how busy the surrounding streets are. The owner, Somit, is dedicated to helping local, vulnerable children who cannot afford school fees and so the money raised at the homestay goes directly towards teaching these children.

    A lovely experience at bowl of compassion. We were welcomed by somit who took the time to chat with us about local culture in Varanasi. The food was delicious and very reasonable price. Volunteering is available here also. A very lovely experience

    Food is totally homely made Maa and puja made I stay here too .., Somit and his mother greeted me on arrival and made me feel very at home. At first I was feeling overwhelmed from the ride in from the airport and didn’t know what to expect. We had a chai and he went over all they had to offer. Somit set me up with a morning tour with Satish. Satish was a great driver and tour guide. (Much appreciated considering the traffic!) Ma and Pooja made delicious meals in the kitchen. I enjoyed the roof top area and relaxing in the lobby in between adventures. Somit provided a great yoga session and also referred me for an astrology session. There is something for everyone on their list of offerings. The whole team was amazing.

    We stumbled across bowl of compassion whilst roaming the back streets near our hostel. We got talking Somid, who has a wealth of knowledge and kindly gave us recommendations of what to visit in Varanasi. We also had lunch, the food was delicious and well priced. The philosophy and break ground of his company is so inspiring, helping the less unfortunate children obtain an education as well as providing nutritious food for them, the place has a very calming feel to it. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and looking for different things to do.

    Lovely and authentic family run place with a funds going to a wonderful cause❤️ We had the special dal, dum aloo and chapati and it was all delicious! ( Especially the dum aloo!! ) We would urge anyone to visit for a meal when in Varanasi. They also offer different tours, experiences, cooking classes etc. which also help children in need and young aspiring tour guides :)

    The food is good. The roof is sooo good, you are able to see ganga river and enjoy the breeze here. There are also monkeys passing by, but don’t worry, there is a cage as protection. Really happy to stay here at the afternoon after a long day trip! The WiFi is soooo good as well😁😁😁

    The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. The Aloo pakodas in particular had a fabulous crunch and tender potato with a hint of natural sweetness. The paneer dishes were also delectable!

    We loved these accommodation, we are here for 5 nights with family. Place is safe and friendly, roof top restaurants they provide the foods i think it home made because fresh and hot. Location is little hard to find these accommodation. So we called Somit and he is very helpful and good person.

    Amazing food and the best services of the city. If you come to Varanassi don't hesitate to come to Bowl of Compassion. The owner is so helpful for everything, he tell us all the tips to have the best experience in Varanassi. We will come back! Thanks for your help!

  • 2/5 Serhii B. 4 years ago on Google
    Went to the place because of good reviews and ratings. BUT regarding the cafe: we ordered a veg thali and masala chai. Were very low quality: untasty rice, dal with taste of old frying pan, oversalted sabji, masala chai for 3-- out of 5. As well slow service and high prices. Won't go again and doesn't recommend the place at least in this current condition.

  • 5/5 Hearst L. 4 years ago on Google
    Was looking for dinner around this region and discovered this place after long walk in the alleys. It looked like a hidden household from the outside. Was led to the rooftop where they had tables for meals. Food was amazing but the most exciting thing is they also held lessons for yoga! As a result we went back next morning and had an introductory yoga session which was a very refreshing experience!

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food. We ate on the rooftop (required walking up 4 flights of steep stairs) where we saw chipmunks and monkeys outside of our little protected area with plants. The food was really good, especially the fried eggplant. I don't recommend the naan, but the chapati was great. The service here was really great and the guy who helped us also helped walk us to the street where we could get a tuktuk easily, since we were in a hurry to go somewhere. These seem like genuinely good people. Would eat here again.

    Somit and his wonderful homestay and school were my highlight of our time in Varanasi. It was amazing! We had the opportunity to spend time with the students that come to his school and he gave us lots of great advice about where to go and what to do. The food was wonderful and the conversations were very interesting. I cannot wait to visit again soon. A fabulous experience with fabulous people.

    We stayed for four nights and everything about the place was fantastic -everyone was so welcoming and helpful. The room and bathroom were very clean and the food was great. They were so helpful and knowledgeable in showing us around Varanasi. We took a yoga class which was great -all activities were provided on a donation basis. We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend!

  • 3/5 Gregory K. 4 years ago on Google
    Skeptical. I like the idea of this place but feel unsure if it's actually true or a 'front'. I was almost forced to write a 'five star' review in front of the owner. Also in speaking to others around Varanasi, they are suspect of the ultimate 'good' that comes from the place. The food is not very good and only virtue is the social enterprise element (assuming it's real). Boat tour on the river was great. I felt far more profit that purpose orientated. I could of course be wrong.

  • 5/5 김민지 4 years ago on Google
    Restaurant on the rooftop was really nice. View on the top was good. I can see many monkeys. Food was good and restaurant service was also nice. I want to visit again. I had cooking class for curry, chapati, chai. I can see how to make them, and i can make it myself. It was really nice experience in India. After cooking, i can eat what i made. Cooking class teacher is really nice. She can speak English well, so I can easily understand the class. On the 1st floor, there is school for young children. Teacher teaches English for them. Children were really cute and kind. So lovely!!! Owner's mind for children is so sweet. He make donation by managing here.

    (Translated by Google) My friend made a reservation and stayed here. We arrived at Varanasi by night train and arrived here at 6 in the morning. Check-in is at 12 o'clock, but they let me sleep in the room. All the rooms were full, so we slept in another room until our room was empty. Also, when exchanged at Agra, it was 10,000 yen and the fee included 5700 rupees, but it was 64-500? At this counter. I think it is a good hotel if you want to enjoy a cheap, local trip ^^ I felt very peaceful here because I was fraudulent in Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. (Original) 友達が予約してくれてここに滞在しました。夜行列車でワラナシに来て朝の6時にここへ到着しました。12時がチェックインですが、彼らは部屋で眠らせてくれました。部屋は全て満室だったため、私達の部屋が空くまで他の部屋で眠らせてくれました。また、アグラで換金した時は1万円で手数料込5700ルピーでしたがこちらのカウンターでは64-500?でした。 安く、ローカル旅を楽しみたいなら良い宿だと思います^^ デリー、ジャイプール、アグラで詐欺にあいまくっていたのでここがとても平和に感じました。

    The food was not good. Was forced to leave a 5 stars review which I did initially. Beware that their food is overpriced. Was told that part of money will be used for funding NGO projects (could be true).

    It's an incredible experience staying with Somit and his family, people with a good heart, super friendly and helpful. They provide yoga classes, accomodation, tours, many activities on donation based. You can also volunteer for helping with the kids, and assist in their learning. Thus, the food is delicious, everything is homemade and fresh prepared. After the yoga classes I felt very relaxed, with good energy, and also he's flexible to prepare classes for every level. If you're going to Varanasi, you should definitely visit Somit :)

    (Translated by Google) The second day after coming to Varanasi. On the first day, from morning till night, when I was half tired of being scammed and fraudulent, I found this place by walking the earth. Heading to the place indicated by the map, deep in the alley, There was considerable courage to enter, When I entered, somit greeted me with a smile. The first thing that surprised me was the handwritten thank you message on the walls and stairs. Until now, the guests who came to this guesthouse from all over the world have been feeling sorry. The wonderful personality of everyone here including somit came. I applied for yoga on the spot and received a 90-minute yoga experience. He taught me from the basic idea of ​​yoga, and kindly and carefully taught me the differences, effects, and points to be aware of, and 90 minutes passed quickly. It was my first yoga in my life, but it was really nice to be able to experience it here. Another nice thing is the story of why this guest house was created and why somit started this business. In Japan, I was inspired by the problem of poverty, which had few opportunities to feel, and was impressed by the straight desire to save unfortunate children. There are many suspicious people in Varanasi, but this inn is definitely. Thank you for a wonderful time! Thank you somit! (Original) バラナシに来て2日目。初日は朝から晩までぼったくり・詐欺をふっかけられて半ば疲れていたときに、 地球の歩き方でこの場所を見つけました。 地図が示していた場所に向かうと、路地の奥の奥で、 入るのにはかなりの勇気がいるところでしたが、 いざ入ってみると、somitさんが笑顔で出迎えてくれました。 最初に驚いたことが、壁・階段中に貼られた手書きの感謝メッセージです。今まで世界中からこのゲストハウスに訪れたゲストたちの想いがつまっていました。 somitさん含めここの皆さんのすてきな人柄が伝わってきました。 その場でヨガを申し込み、90分のヨガ体験を受けさせていただきました。 ヨガの根本となる考え方から教えてくれ、ストレッチとの違いや効果、気を付けるべき点も含めて親切丁寧に教えてくれ、あっという間に90分が過ぎてしまいました。 人生初めてのヨガでしたが、ここの場所で体験できて本当によかったです。 またもうひとつ素敵な点として、なぜこのゲストハウスができたのか、なぜsomitさんがこの事業をはじめたのかというストーリーです。 日本ではなかなか感じる機会が少ない貧困という問題について考えさせられるとともに、不運な子供たちを救いたいというまっすぐな想いに感動しました。 怪しい人も多いバラナシですが、この宿は間違いないです。 すてきな時間をありがとうございました! Thank you somit!

    The food is nothing special and overpriced. They asked to make review in front of them (which is unfair). On trip advisor the restaurant is first in Varanasi, which for sure is not.

    So kind and helpful people! The place is a guest house, yoga school, school and restaurant. They help the poor local children with food and homework. This is a must visit in Varanasi :)

    (Translated by Google) It was very reputable online, so I was afraid that I could make a reservation, but there was no problem the day before. The teacher was very friendly and taught me about Indian culture. If you are interested in yoga, you should go if you have the opportunity. (Original) ネットで非常に評判が良かったので、予約が取れるか心配でしたが前日でも問題ありませんでした。 先生は非常にフレンドリーでインドの文化についても教えてくれました。ヨガに興味があるかたは、機会があれば行くべきかと思います。

    Came here by recommendation of friends, wonderful social project ran by Somit and his family, for poor and slum kids, providing education and food. Came for lunch to Bowl of Compassion roof top cafe and stayed playing with children. Pooja, kids teacher, made henna art on my hand while children were learning English, then Somit offered to see Varanasi from boat, and next day invited to Shivaratri puja and fire aarti, ancient Vedic ceremonies, and the next day showed me hidden temple. Kindhearted people and project to support, just come to say hello, or you can also stay here at Somit guesthouse or enjoy nice food. Thank you for beautiful experience.
