    In continuation to my picks of places that are old town but epic, this one is a star in Kanpur. Yet it recieves only four stars from me due to the shabby look which did not add to my experience. The food on the contrary was superb. Simple.. nt heavy on ur tummy.. but delicious.. for those who don't like sweet paneer order kadhai paneer. N Arhar dal was the best.. simple tadka dal with loads of Desi ghee.. all in all I'll go back to hv food but I wish the place was cleaner. BTW.. the place was jam packed despite all odds.. so we know how good the food is 👍

    It is an iconic place serving great Indian food (North Indian style) since 1967. Not hugely expensive but very popular with families in the evenings and businessmen during the day time. Their missi roti not to be missed. And so is the rich kheer (sweet rice pudding) experience. There's a chatty pan wala near the entrance from the main street. Highly recommended if you like trying food places which are popular with locals.

    As usual the food taste is superb but hygiene & cleanliness is a point of concern here.The cleaning cloth is repeatedly used to clean multiple steel plates etc . The management has though put a sanitisation chamber but customers don't bother to use it. No one at restaurant asks u too use it. People choose to wait for seats & lot of chaos is visible. One can't relax & eat here but no doubt veg food is too good.

    My best hotel in Kanpur. I always prefer this place for lunch and dinner whenever I want to eat outside. It is the best hotel. I said best it mean best. Quality is good, pricing is fair and probably at low cost. Clean and tidy. Tasty food is served. Menu is dynamic but most of the things you will get every time like paneer etc. In curry. Rest all is static and available. I personally recommend everyone to eat food from here and go for an outings.

    Gyan Vaishnav Restaurant is an old pure vegetarian restaurant in Gumti no. 5. Their food is simple and tasty. Their price are very affordable. Shahi Panner, Baigan Bharta and Dal is very tasty. They also have parking area. They are mostly full for dining so you might have to wait for turn.

  • 4/5 Prashant J. 5 years ago on Google
    Visited Gyan Vaishnav during my dinner hours with my colleagues. As it was a friday, there was no waiting time as such which used to be with other places. The vegetarian food is was yummy. We ordered paneer butter masala which was a wonderful treat. Also, Kheer was something different. The various types of Indian breads also seemed good. The drawback at Gyan Vaishnav is the seat availability. It takes around 20 minutes during peak hours at night. But it is worth just for the food.

    It's not a fancy place to dine in. The ambience may not seem that great but the food tasted good. The menu prices are too reasonable. This is why the place is usually packed with people. So it's like, on a busy day when you have no time to go to a fancy place and you are not willing to spend much but still want to have simple and decent VEGETARIAN food, then you may visit this place. If you are going here, do try their signature Kheer. Note: They deal in cash only (No UPI/Card Payments)

    Visited their outlet first time as I belong to different city but I was amazed to have good vegetarian food at reasonable price. Yellow dal had proper authentic homemade taste. Other items were also tasty. Will recommend this restaurant to all Kanpur visitors.

    Pure veg. restaurant that offers very tasty food. Food cost is reasonable. Takeaway and seating, both options are available. Delivery is done through private vendors that cost about Rs.100.

  • 4/5 Skylet Spider Web T. 3 years ago on Google
    Yum.... The food is too good. Must visit once but I will give it 4 star because there is no too much cleanliness. The worker 👷 must keep there surrounding clean. All that I no more words to say how delicious 😋 the food is...

    One of the best place to eat in kanpur. The food is really nice, said to be made in pure ghee. Best part is the price at which they are offered.

  • 5/5 STUDY D. 3 years ago on Google
    Food taste good and you should try it ! Cheap and best for family !

  • 2/5 Abhishek T. 3 years ago on Google
    A veteran hotel in Kanpur and they used to serve one of the tastiest food. Now taste and quality have changed significantly. I ordered Dal fry and Kadai Paneer and it failed to impress me.

  • 5/5 Tanmay M. 3 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love the food over here. Pure desi food at a reasonable price. Only one recommendation for the restaurant is to accomodate more methods of payment right now they only accept cash.

  • 3/5 gurmeet s. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Manjeet k. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is good, and small quantity at one time controls the wasting of food.I really liked this concept. Staff behaviour is good but sitting arrangements are not appreciable,I think it's poor due to lack of space comparison to gathering.

  • 5/5 JAI OM P. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious.I had Baigan bharta and Shahi paneer. Which is very good in taste. Cleanliness can be improved.

  • 5/5 Arunabh S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food taste is good and tasty, moderately spiced. Sitting arrangent is not of modern high end restaurant just a casual sitting like dhaba without air conditioning..if you can get your food packed than its better to get it packed and have it at home.

  • 2/5 Pankaj G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a very famous restaurant in Gumti no 5 in Kanpur. Specially the KHEER in desert is delicious. Since it is a vegitarian restaurant hence You will get all vegetarian dishes over here. Affordable in budget and you can get packing too. Parking is a big issue as they don't have their own parking. During weekend, it is very crowded so you have to wait for your turn. As of my views, nowadays you have many options for veg food in same area, in same budget. Secondly, owner needs to do some improvement towards their services like they should provide tokens for waiting customers. Thanks🙏

  • 4/5 Krishna Kant A. 1 year ago on Google
    Search through the Indian and Vegetarian menu. The chef at this restaurant cooks tasty paneer, tandoori roti and soup. You will be offered nicely cooked pudding. The atmosphere of hospitality of Gyan Vaishnav highly depends on the staff, that is pleasant here. This place is remarkable for its enjoyable service. You will like fair prices. Most visitors are faithful to this spot because of the cool ambiance.

  • 2/5 Pari A. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very crowded when I visited there with my family so, we had to wait for the table to get free. Finally when we got one place to sit but then no one came to take the order, after calling 3 to 4 times they took the order. We ordered for the two types of paneer but they tasted exactly the same and the Naan was also not cooked properly. No menus on the table. Cleanliness was also not taken care of. No coordination between the staff. A big no to this place.

  • 5/5 Hemant B. 1 year ago on Google
    Desi ghar ka khaana. Very very healthy and clean and tasty food. It's desi dhaba types, but really worth visiting

  • 4/5 harshit b. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food there, but cashier was soooo rude. Request to owner pls ask him.

  • 4/5 sanjay p. 1 year ago on Google
    Each item is neatly prepared and delicious. One can take lunch and dinner with family. Also this place generally remains overcrowded. So be patience for your turn to eat.

  • 5/5 Aniket B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best food in town,worth price, supportive management totally best... Yummy food since my childhood...

  • 4/5 Gaurang G. 1 year ago on Google
    A very busy restaurant where you can get tasty food at reasonable prices. The quality is fine. But due to rush, especially during night, the service is sometimes delayed, but served. Is a good recommendation for a solo or duo visits as well.

  • 5/5 Swapnil P. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been visiting this place for more than 20 years now and the food quality and taste is still intact. Service is very quick as compared to other hi-fi hotels in kanpur. Hospitality is good. The infrastructure I can say is still outdated as they haven't changed anything. Overall if you want to have awesome food in the lowest budget, this place is a must family visit. Dal tadka is a must try.

  • 4/5 Tarun S. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is good. But personally i feel that the quality of food has slightly been degraded.

  • 3/5 Arun G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place but service needs to improve.

  • 5/5 Sanjib S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food quality, service and hygiene. Reasonable rates for all food. They serve small portion for single person only.

  • 5/5 Kanpur C. 1 year ago on Google
    It is one of the oldest restaurant in kanpur and that too my favourite. Specially the best thing is that they prepare all the dishes in Desi ghee which gives a perfect taste of Home .

  • 5/5 Amritanshu T. 1 year ago on Google
    A hotel in slightly shadyish locality. But the food they serve and the audience they attract is fabulous. Economical. The best thing is they serve veggies in the serving size of one person, minimising the wastage. Must visit!

  • 3/5 arun m. 1 year ago on Google
    Food quality vis-a-vis the price is satisfactory although not outstanding. Service is fast. Atmosohere is clumsy and needs substantial upliftment. Hygenity-conscious person can experience concern.

  • 5/5 Monu C. 11 months ago on Google
    It has the taste you have never experienced specially the sahi paneer and naan

  • 1/5 Sandeep G. 11 months ago on Google
    It's too crowded. Just the hype of good food is created, but in reality it's average. The big turn down was the washroom, it's the ugliest and very smelly, may be not cleaned for few years. It's better to eat Street food, compared with eating there. A BIG NO FOR FIRST TIMERS TO GO THERE.***ALSO COCKROACH ISSUE IN THE RESTAURANT, NOT SAFE TO EAT***

  • 5/5 Rahul J. 11 months ago on Google
    An Instituition in itself. The Magical Combination of Dal Fry and Butter Tandoori Rotis along with Aloo Sabzi is a must have at this place. Interiors are very basic but the taste makes it up for it. Highly recommended.

  • 1/5 Shrish T. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is soo good, I never find a seat there. Waiting time can be 15 to 30 minutes. I tried this place for 3 times and got opportunity to eat for only one time. Taste was good but for the rest time I left the place due to time taken by waiter. Only go for the place if you have enough time and patience.

  • 5/5 akash s. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the oldest and purest vegetarian hotel in kanpur that I know...... where you can get lunch and dinner.....family dining halls available for privacy....food here is tasty and pocket friendly too.....dine-in and takeout available .... Online food service is not there and also the payment mode is cash only they do not accept any online mode of payments which should be there....last but not the least their kheer is worth a try...

  • 5/5 Abhijeet Singh C. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is a must visit in Kanpur. It has its own delicacies and a vintage ambience. service is a little bit late, but food and price is very good.

  • 2/5 Yogesh B. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was okay. The atmosphere is not so hygienic. The staff was not so attentive. They need to focus more on their cleanliness and improve their service.

  • 4/5 Shaurya B. 9 months ago on Google
    Good place for kheer and baingan bharta, not so nice atmosphere as it's an old hotel, but very good service. Should visit when in kanpur. and The Kheer is too GOOD!!!

  • 5/5 Paul M. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent veg food. Very homely preparations . The dal is must have. They give different vegetable options for similar pricing. The portions are good for one. One Dal, one Veg and 2 Rotis cost about Rs 140. The only negative is the ambience. The place is not air-conditioned and is old styled. The service while quick is not refined.

  • 2/5 mayank s. 7 months ago on Google
    The food taste is good but the place is not maintained hygiene, it is worth to take away from this hotel. Hotel staff is also not caring much about the customer as it is well know place. They have to maintain good quality hygiene at dining place.

  • 5/5 Anurag D. 8 months ago on Google
    This place has the tastiest food all across Kanpur specially Daal and Paneer curries. This food joint is budget friendly and has amazingly easy location in Gumti Area. Since the place has a huge rush almost every time hence one can find it a little difficult to have a table. Service is good Overall a great place to have Desi food with genuine taste.

  • 4/5 Saurabh M. 7 months ago on Google
    If you are looking for good food in affordable price, it is the perfect place, It is a pure veg restaurant, approx 350INR if 2 persons dine. No AC but lots of small fans installed, so no issues yet. They accept only Cash.

  • 4/5 Amitesh D. 8 months ago on Google
    Sometimes we just want time to stop. Thats all i can write. Good to see familier faces both at cash counter and service staff . All dishes are good , non spicy and freshly cooked. Taste still the same. Every bite will take you back to your childhood memories.

  • 4/5 Amit T. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place to have your meals. Good quality food, economically priced. Often they tend to use more oil in vegetables, which can be controlled. And, if they can serve tawa roti, nothing like it.

  • 4/5 Traveller K. 8 months ago on Google
    Food is good and tasty but it's very busy place. Taking too much time to take and serve any order. Also they are dealing only in cash ,no card or UPI payment.

  • 2/5 Dr Amod D. 5 months ago on Google
    Although very populer, but not for dining or outing purpose. It is congested and you need to wait most of times. AlthoughFood is cheap but quantity is less per serving. Taste is ordinary that,s why few people describe it as "Ghar jaisa Khana". It is good for bachelor or singles who do not want spend too much on their weekend dinner.

  • 5/5 Rounak S. 5 months ago on Google
    It's not a sophisticated restaurant. Despite the unimpressive atmosphere, the meal was tasty. The prices on the menu are just too low. This explains why the space is frequently crowded. In other words, if you're busy and don't have time to go somewhere nice or have a lot of money to spend but yet want some simple and quality VEGETARIAN meals, you can stop by this restaurant. If you visit, be sure to try their famous Kheer

  • 5/5 Tripathi S. 4 months ago on Google
    Best place to dine in with a very low budget Dal is only @50 paneer less than 100 Per person full meal will cost less than 100 Good service and tasty food

  • 3/5 Randhir S. 4 months ago on Google
    Food Taste is good Price good But in this era they are not using UPI? This is serious. They should change some interior and cleanliness too.

  • 1/5 Purushottam S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Maha ghatiya bhojan. There is no difference between shahi paneer , kadahi paneer and paneer butter masala ......and you will get shocked when u 'll experience no difference between lachha paratha and tanduri roti.
