    My favourite here: Jabchae, the Korean glass noodles dish.. The perfect restaurant in Benares. Although it’s an amazing Korean restaurant but serves good food across all cuisines. Location and ambience are just too good! Very comfortable low seating apt for relaxing and chatting with good company. Food especially Korean is amazing, just ask the manager to help you out with dishes and go with his suggestions!

    The cafe is located in narrow lanes so if you are a tourist do use Google map and do ask from people nearby from time to time. They have Korean dishes as well as Indian dishes. I personally tried oriental spaghetti(the name may not be accurate as per their menu), it was 3.5/5. If you are someone who is into Korean dishes you should visit.

    The food is delicious! Ok you may wait a little bit to be served, but it's worth it :)

    The food is great, after the first time we stopped here other two times! Lassi, rice and noodles are really good!

    Looks cool from outside. But isn't really that great. Don't raise your expectations too high. Overall it's not bad. Service wasn't that great and i food I ordered wasn't that good either but it was still okay.

    Poor service. Nice ambiance. Great chicken. The rest of the food was ok. Be careful they are a bit petty and overcharge you for extra sauce and water.

    Claiming to have korean food, this is utterly bastardised and compromised version of korean cuisine. The kimchi is not fermented. The sticky rice is made with gobinbhog and hence far from sticky. The Jabchae is not made with sweet potato but is regular rice noodles. The stew is made with papaya... and yet after such blunders, they charge you an arm and leg for a piddly portion. Absolutely missable.

    The ambience is amazing. The first time I passed by the café, situated in narrow lanes of Bangali Tola. It gave the impression of a café in different country. Heh. The next morning we went there. Had breakfast. My friend ordered double cheese omelette and I had Banana, honey pancakes and a plunger coffee. ☕️ Damn that was amazing 😻 Recommend the place. Reasonable prices.

    It is worth going there for the environment. It is open, full of light with external tables, and the people are kind. Menu with several Asian options (Indian, Korean, and Chinese food). If you are lucky, you can find beers in some days.

    I stayed at the restaurant one afternoon, the place is very peaceful and nicely designed. The service was slow, the food was good but the portion was small

    It is a nice peaceful escape from the city’s chaos and noise. A chilled restaurant with nice service and good food. While in Varanasi, we went back several times.

    Whenever I am in Varanasi, this is my go to place. Delicious Korean food. Other cuisines are also very good. You can stay here for hours, chilling or doing your work. Favourie Cafe.

    Such an unexpected gem in the otherwise madness of Varanasi side streets. There didn’t seem to be many operating in the kitchen and service was a bit slower than normal but not anything to be concerned by. The food was excellent, service good and price great.

    I really enjoyed this place. Good vibe, friendly staff, tasty food, good coffee. They have some Korean cuisine options as well… not sure why and whether it is tasty as didn’t try it. Only thing I regret is that I discovered this place on my last day in town. Otherwise this would be my regular spot for a breakfast or afternoon chill out.

    We were looking for some good Cafe where we can have decent breakfast. We ended up at Bono Cafe. The food was worth the price. It's a pocket friendly Cafe. The ambience is amazing. You can click really cool Instagram worth pics.

    One of my favorite places during my stay in Varanasi. It's a spacious and comfortable café where you can go chill, read or meet other travelers. The staff is really friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious! Homemade and fresh, you can find Hindu food, Korean food and other specialties, with many vegan options.

    Good cafe, lots of both Korean and Indian dishes. My egg curry was very nice. Lassi, not the best. WiFi didn't work. But excellent atmosphere & attractive decorations, probably the best I've seen in Varanasi on that point.

    We found this place getting lost in Bengali Tola, and had breakfast a couple of times. We fell in love with their veg chowmein, the best we've tried so far! Nice rice pudding and black coffee as well.

    After six weeks of india without any problems this is the only place that gave me an upset stomach! My night was horrible and ruins my stay in Varanasi. It may look clean, but obviously it isn’t even if it was one of the most expensive meals i had in Varanasi. And yes, I’m sure it came from this place. I only had toast in the morning. Careful!

  • 5/5 Alex Miranda C. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good place for breakfast, coffee, or just chilling. Warm, peaceful atmosphere with cosy furniture, beautiful decoration and soft music. Food is good, with some nice Korean dishes additionally to Indian food and all sorts of breakfast, but you can wait for a while after ordering. Nice and friendly staff.

  • 4/5 Dibyajyoti D. 1 year ago on Google
    You will get Korean food here. Portion and taste was upto the mark.

  • 4/5 Jin 1 year ago on Google
    Not real Korean flavor(soso, a little salty), but took a rest well with WiFi. If you order a lot, another tables could not eat anything for a long time. If you were wanting persons, just breathe deeply. Here is ‘Varanasi’.
