Asian cuisine restaurants North India

If the location of the ITC Rajputana hotel does not seduce at first sight, wedged between the train station and an elevated road, its restaurant Peshawri will quickly make you forget this inconvenience. The somewhat curious setting is probably reminiscent of the interior of a traditional house in the Peshawar region of northern Pakistan. Stone walls, wooden clerestories stretched with string, long wooden tables and upholstered stools. The interest lies of course in the plate. The chefs will prepare delicious North Indian specialties with a touch of spice.

The most famous restaurant in Vadodara, inside the WelcomHotel ITC Alkapuri, Peshawri offers unparalleled Mughlai (North Indian/Pakistani) cuisine. The menu is short and concise, but everything is absolutely delicious. The wooden tables with trestles give character to the room, which takes up the codes of the region, with its copper urns adorning the walls. The show goes on towards the kitchen, separated from the room by a glass wall. One can then observe at leisure the master chefs of the tandoor officer.

Located in a pleasant garden-courtyard, this elegant café-restaurant offers a varied menu: Indian specialties, such as butter chicken or tandoori, and international dishes, including very good lamb burgers. Everything is cooked with fresh and excellent products. The tourists are not mistaken, it is often full. In case of strong heat, you can take refuge in the small air-conditioned room on the first floor. And the rest of the time, the terrace on the first floor offering a breathtaking view on the temples is often taken by storm.

This is one of the best restaurants in Leh. Everything on the menu is to be recommended, but our preference is for tandoor cooked dishes (kebabs, chicken tikka), Tibetan specialties like mutton momos, kothays (half steamed, half friedmomos), shabalay or avocado soup. If you like fish, trout is also on the menu when the road to Manali is open. Possibility to sit on the terrace or in the dining room when the evenings are still cool. Friendly and professional service.

Located on the Mall, a restaurant that enjoys enormous popularity with tourists. The setting is modern and pleasant. And with good reason: the food is very good, the dishes are hearty and the service is fast. Success stories include mutton momos and Chinese chicken recipes. Dishes are made with organic ingredients, but may sometimes contain MSG (monosodium glutamate), so don't hesitate to specify if you don't want it on your plate. A beer or wine can be served with your meal.

Lovers of tender grilled meats will be delighted. Chicken, lamb, fish, shrimp or paneer kebabs cooked in the tandoor, all available in many recipes. In Kolkata, all lovers of non-vegetarian cuisine praise the qualities of this restaurant whose cuisine is directly inspired by the traditional recipes of the Mughal Empire. If the setting is ordinary, the service is fast and the staff attentive. A sure value.

Installed on the first floor directly on M.G. Marg, a typical restaurant which serves delicious Tibetan specialities(thentuk, thugkpa, momo...). Here is a very good and friendly address with a nice view on the pedestrian street, and the prices are very reasonable. We recommend you the pork momos and the cold pork slices with spices, they are delicious! And moreover, you can even drink a cold beer to accompany your meal. Be careful though, the establishment closes its doors quite early in the evening... A real favorite.

This small and cosy restaurant serves delicious Tibetan food concocted by^Mrs. Diki Chenzum. The dishes are varied and copious: excellent momos, thugkpa, thenthuk, noodles, soups but also very good fresh fruit juice and lassis. Simply the best Tibetan restaurant in town. Be careful though, there are only a few tables and the places are expensive, moreover it happens regularly that at the end of the day the fresh ingredients used to concoct some dishes are exhausted... Highly recommended for lunch.

This restaurant opened by the charming Nilza is a little jewel. It is even the only one in Ladakh to serve authentic Ladakhi cuisine!

Excellent desserts and original drinks. Possibility to take cooking classes. A favorite!

We will not hide it, Spice Court is a restaurant for tourists. But... the quality is there, the setting is pleasant, the service is impeccable. The meal is taken in a large garden with, in the first part of the evening, a traditional show. From 9pm, the Indians take over the place, and the artists go home. The menu offers a wide variety of simmered dishes, perfectly spiced and tasty. A beautiful air-conditioned room welcomes the customers on hot days. Cherry on the cake, the owner speaks an impeccable French.

The establishment, not easy to find, is located on the second floor of a commercial building. Here is a typical restaurant to discover: to explore the richness and the delicacy of the famous Gujarati thali, it is here that you must come. Enticing presentation and authentic traditional flavors. It's so good that you'll ask for more... and that's good, they are served as much as you want! The big room is a little dark but very clean. Local color atmosphere enhanced by a very smiling welcome. Not to be missed under any pretext.

This kabob restaurant is an institution in Lucknow. The grandfather, the chef of the last Mogul, left the art of preparing melt-in-the-mouth kababs as a precious legacy to his grandson, Mohammad Usman. You can watch the cooks at work from the street. Kababs with mutton, chicken, vegetarian, biryani, tandoori chicken, roasted roomali... All served in an atmosphere of a market canteen... In short, all the awadhi cuisine that characterizes Lucknow. A treat for a small price.

Every day, 100,000 meals are served. On the menu: an excellent vegetarian thali made of lentils and potatoes, rice, chapati and a dessert. And for this, more than 5,000 kg of wheat flour, 1,800 kg of dal (lentils), 1,400 kg of rice, 600 kg of sugar and 700 liters of milk are needed. Upon arrival, each person takes a tray, a bowl and a stainless steel spoon. You sit in a line on the floor and are served with a ladle.

A very popular address, close to the general post office, which is packed. You can enjoy a very good Thai, Indian or Chinese cuisine, under the eyes of a life-size "Predator". The dishes are copious and an effort is made for the presentation. The service is fast. You can also have a glass of wine, a beer or a whisky. Concert videos add a nice musical atmosphere. The place also serves as a bakery and sells bread, pastries and cakes. A good address.

Probably the best Tibetan restaurant in Bodhgaya. Excellent dishes, hearty and affordable. An opportunity to try one of the many Tibetan recipes, including excellent momos, thukpas and more, accompanied by tingmo (steamed Tibetan bread). International dishes on the menu include salads, hummus, burgers and sandwiches, as well as fresh juices, smoothies and more. There's also a boutique selling clothes, books, incense and more. A great place to stroll around with a good book.

An institution in Kolkata, often crowded. The setting is elegant, with a superb subdued light and a sober decoration. Specialties of tandoori kebabs and kebabs, biryanis, many naan recipes... Try the Chelo Kabab, a regional mutton specialty served with rice and a fried egg. And if you really can't decide, choose one of the two suggestions of the chef, veg. or non-veg., and let yourself be surprised! Small particularity, the waiters are dressed in rajasthanie. The place also serves alcohol.

As its name suggests, this restaurant offers quality cuisine inspired by the north of the country. The tandoor is in operation for lunch and dinner (which is rare), which allows you to enjoy a chicken tikka or kebabs for lunch. Some Chinese dishes are also on the menu (especially noodles) and snacks. The setting, if it is impersonal, is nonetheless comfortable. The tables are large and surrounded by benches and the room is air-conditioned. The staff will be able to guide you in your choice if the menu leaves you wondering. A good place.

This address is known by the locals for its sweet delicacies, but the cookie store is also next to a large restaurant where they serve spicy vegetarian specialties. The principle is that of fast food. You have to go to the cashier and order your meal, then present your ticket to a waiter behind the counter. Once your tray is full, you just have to find a free seat, which can be complicated on weekend nights.

Located on the ninth floorof the Clarks Avadh Hotel, this restaurant is recommended if you want to taste the real (fine) Lucknow cuisine. Try the platter of different kebabs (taron ka haar) or the vegetarian kebabs, such as hariyali, a specialty made of spinach and lentils. Traditional musicians come to play intimate music in the evening. From the terrace, the view of the Gomti River and the city's monuments is splendid. An elegant place for a romantic dinner or to satisfy the gourmet.

Handi delights lovers of grilled meats: tandoori, kebab, chicken or mutton tikka, butter chicken... Obviously, vegetarians will not be left out. All this is served in a "Rajsthan rural" setting with walls covered with dried and painted mud. The large, dark room behind a blackened window may seem unattractive, but these are the standards of "cool" in India. A good place to enjoy tandoori at lunchtime. This is exceptional, since the ovens are usually only lit in the evening.
