Asian cuisine restaurants North India

Located near the train station, on the main street, Amberwalla is a good place to try some South Indian specialties or to enjoy a hearty thali. Only good vegetarian dishes are served in this air-conditioned room. You will find there a local canteen atmosphere with a rather ordinary setting and an expeditious service, which does not seem to disturb the exclusively Indian clientele. For a small price, the Amber thali is an excellent choice, tasty and very nourishing. Restaurant not to be missed for the small budgets.

Located on the terrace of a hotel, a little away from the city, this restaurant is nevertheless worth your visit. The food is really delicious and the prices are quite moderate. The chef worked for several years in Japan, before coming back home to Khajuraho. The products are ultra-fresh and the dishes are prepared to order, which is why you will have to wait a little. You can choose to eat outside, on the pleasant roof terrace laid out like an urban garden, or in the air-conditioned dining room with its contemporary setting.

The restaurant at Treenz Kanta Chumbi Residency has a pleasant atmosphere. Sitting on the floor on cushions and immersed in a Japanese atmosphere, or sitting quietly on the terrace gazing at the stars, you will enjoy delicious food. Spicy Indian dishes, and very good Sikkimese specialties, including gyaree pork (roasted pork with ginger and garlic). Wide choice of drinks and cocktails on the menu.

Held by a Sikh family, this small popular and authentic canteen attracts workers and inhabitants of the district but also more and more tourists. It's not surprising since you can eat very well for only a few rupees. Don't be discouraged by the uninviting front or by the basic setting... The food served is excellent! The dishes of the day, to be preferred, are written on a small slate. In addition, the portions are quite copious. The whole to be accompanied by a very good masala chai.

Everything in this restaurant is a bit oversized: the size of the room (very large), the backs of the chairs (very high), the brightness (very dark). This seems to be what is needed to lure a wealthy clientele that wants to relax and be entertained. A slightly baroque setting and water pipes. In addition to being a restaurant that serves decent food, but with somewhat congruent portions, the establishment acts as a sheesha bar. No alcohol, but a long menu of mocktails and tobacco flavors.

A very small establishment hidden in a maze of alleyways, quite difficult to find. Follow the signs in Bangali Tola Road to get there. A sign will indicate the restaurant and you'll have to push open the door. A room with two tables, then another where customers sit on the floor... The first impression isn't very pleasant, but you discover that this is the HQ for Koreans visiting Varanasi. Excellent Korean cuisine (with meat available) at affordable prices. For a variety of pleasures.

The restaurant Kalimpong is a small family establishment not to be missed! Small room, few tables, we are a little tight but there is a comforting human warmth. Smiling reception and fast service. The menu is limited, which is usually a good sign. It offers Tibetan specialties made with fresh products: vegetarian momos, mutton, chicken or pork, various noodles, thukpas, thentuk, chili pork (excellent chili pork)... Everything is delicious! A warmly recommended address.

Open since 1962, Makhan is an iconic restaurant in the city. A large, somewhat impersonal room welcomes customers. On the menu, as you might expect, are fish and chicken specialties. Recipes cooked in the tandoor, such as chicken malai tikka, mutton tikka, or fish Sangara tandoori, are all the rage. The establishment also serves alcohol, so you can accompany your meal with a cold beer. Not to be confused with the Makhan Hut.

Up a flight of stairs overlooking Ganga Mahal Ghat, this small restaurant attracts many travelers who settle in Varanasi for a while. Ashish's family lives here and has set up a room and a veranda on the first floor. The food is simple, delicious and prepared with fresh ingredients. It is one of the best places in the city for excellent thalis. The address is signposted from the ghat, and you'll have no trouble spotting the bright blue house with flower pots in front.

The vegetarian or carnivorous grill temple welcomes its guests in a pleasant retro-character frame. The restaurant, with its buffet formula, will vary the dishes, but you will always find chicken, shrimp, fish, paneer or roasted peanuts. On tables, sauces and condiments are ready to accompany your dishes. Some evenings, servers and chefs invest the scene and sing some songs to entertain customers. Ambiance club, but in the restaurant!

Welcome to the trendy restaurant in Agra. The large long room welcomes tourists, many tourists, from India and elsewhere. Many of them get lost in the extensive choice of the menu, when they are not familiar with the local cuisine. Fortunately, the attentive staff will guide you in your choices and you can only leave satisfied. It is true that the food here is tasty, served in a very lively atmosphere. Could it be because of the talent of the barman who prepares delicious cocktails?

Impossible to miss the door of the entrance of this restaurant with the doorman proudly displaying a majestic glossy moustache and a suit worthy of the greatest Rajput warriors. Inside, the setting is kitschy. A dark pirate cave atmosphere, a tree planted in the center of a pasteboard rock, 3D murals, shards of mirrors and adobe walls decorated with naïve paintings mix genres. However, the restaurant serves excellent North Indian cuisine with tasty curries and spicy kebabs.

The Taj Mahal, with its image of luxury and excellence, is going all out. The setting mixes sumptuous pieces of ancient art with modern furniture and lighting. The clash of eras and flavors also occurs on the plate. If the menu seems to propose classic dishes, the visual, olfactory and gustatory reality is quite different. The name chosen refers to the edible gold leaf, struck so finely that it can barely be felt on the tongue. And when it comes to finesse, the chef knows how to do it.

The Parsis, who came from Persia many centuries ago, settled in Bombay. Until the opening of the "Soda Bottle Opener" it was here that one could enjoy the best Iranian influenced cuisine. But now Delhi is trying to steal the spot from its enemy sister. You can try the berry pulao, a rice served with meat and berries or the roast mutton with Parsi spices. We also loved the setting, which revives an old cafe with bistro tables, woodwork and mirrors.

This legendary restaurant has the reputation of serving the best biryani and kebab in Delhi. And it's been going for 40 years! The setting has been recently renovated and Delhiites are flocking to the place which is vaguely reminiscent of American diners. A bench runs along the wall of the room, while on the other side there are "corners" for 6. A must to get acquainted with the cuisine of the country or simply to enjoy dishes that have been forgotten elsewhere. The service is efficient, but you often have to be patient.

Not so easy to find a nice restaurant around Connaught Place without loud music. Fortunately, a few nostalgic Hyderabad biryani lovers have opened this canteen on the outer circle. No fuss for this little address, but a setting that follows the codes in vogue at the moment: a touch of industrial, school chairs and old tiles. The biryani, tasty and fragrant, is steamed, as tradition demands, and comes in a vegetarian or meat-based formula. It's often full, and it's best to reserve your table.

Located on the slopes of Shymala Hills, this restaurant is part of a hotel complex owned by the Madhya Pradesh Tourist Board. If the cuisine it offers is not very original, it is well executed. You will find the classic mutter or palak paneer, dhal, butter chicken as well as some tasty kebabs and tandooris. The establishment is licensed and you can sip a beer or a whisky - in moderation - while watching the lake.

The restaurant of the Zone by the Park hotel, located in the north of Bani Park, serves many western and eastern specialties to satisfy its international clientele. But it also offers a short selection of Rajasthani specialties that are worth a visit. You will find them under the selection "khammaghani". Here, the gulab jamun is served in a savory version in a thick cashew sauce. If you prefer the non-vegetarian option, you can enjoy a tasty Shekhawati chicken.

This restaurant located inside the Amber Fort will give you the opportunity to feast at the table of the maharajas. The overwhelmingly romantic setting lends itself to a romantic dinner. Whether you dine by candlelight in the courtyard when the evenings are mild or under the crystal chandeliers of the grand dining room, the splendor of the place is obvious. A tasty experience to recommend to all lovers. Beware, the restaurant is not easy to find. It is on the other side of the fortress. It is better to go by cab if you don't have a car with driver.

Faced with the gastronomic desert of the old city and the influx of tourists to the City Palace, the maharaja had the good idea to transform a courtyard of the palace into a restaurant. The menu is in the fusion mode, with a touch of spices and typical local products. You can choose between a beet and quinoa salad or a lamb curry served with millet and chard. If the flavors are perfectly balanced, we can only regret a nonchalant and not very involved service, especially since the prices are quite high.

A warm place not to be missed. The setting is very pleasant with wooden furniture; you can choose to sit on a sofa, cross-legged or simply on a chair on the small terrace. The cuisine offered is original and delicious (including Tibetan, Chinese and Taiwanese dishes). Several fresh cakes and pastries are also proposed. Very large choice of teas, excellent coffee in the percolator, fresh fruit juices... A quiet place to rest, far from the traffic and horns

One of the best Tibetan restaurants in the city; the vegetable and cheese kothay is great! It is frequented by monks, locals and volunteers from NGOs working in McLeod Ganj. An interesting initiative: you can fill your empty water bottle for 5 Rs and thus reduce the impact of plastic bottles on the environment. This family-run establishment, which has been open for years, also offers decent rooms at affordable prices.

This friendly establishment offers Tibetan specialties( porkmomos, mutton momos, vegetable momos, thugkpa, etc.) as well as Chinese and Thai dishes with great success. The red painted restaurant is spread over two floors and is located near the post office, you can't miss it! An excellent choice for lunch. Some cakes and desserts are also offered, including a very good lemon cheesecake. Feel free to leave your opinion on a paper napkin, as many customers have done before you.

The whole of Ahmedabad runs to taste the delicious dosa prepared in this little canteen. The different ways of preparing these lentil-flour patties come from all corners of South India: Mysore, Mangalore, Andhra Pradesh, with coconut or mint(pudina). All in one place, you'll discover the whole range of possibilities and the subtle nuances that exist between the different dosas. You'll be spoilt for choice. Don't miss the delicious lassis or the black coffee, which is just right.

Located behind the São Tomé church, this restaurant run by an Indo-Portuguese family serves Portuguese cuisine with Indian influences, such as this cozido de peixe (fish stew) or this grilled fish with garlic potatoes. Everything is served under a pergola built in the garden, on nicely tablecloths and with pleasant music in the background. On the other hand, the menu is limited and only one brand of beer is offered, quite surprising in Diu! It's also a pity that the atmosphere is sometimes spoiled by the bad attitude of the owner...

To the right after the first gate of the fort, this café with a few tables serves snacks and cold drinks throughout the day. Located in one of the buildings of the palace, you will appreciate its courtyard shaded by a beautiful century-old tree. The rooms offered are out of the ordinary since they are located within the entrance gate of the fort! Air-conditioned, they are all charming and comfortable. If you can, ask for the Bee eater, a spacious room at the top of the gate with a nice terrace overlooking the city.

Large sober room dressed with backlit wood panels. On the wall near the entrance, a huge flat screen broadcasts the cricket or the news. The restaurant is famous for its dosa specialties (large pancake stuffed or not, from South India). But you will also find a very complete menu offering many vegetarian specialties, including some kebabs cooked in the tandoor. A finger bowl with hot water and lemon is presented at the end of the meal. The food is tasty and it's full every night. Very copious portions.

This Amritsar institution serves vegetarian food, mostly from the North, but also some southern specialties, such as dosas. Customers come here for the kulcha, a bread cake flavored with herbs and sprinkled with pomegranate, served for breakfast. The other offerings on the extensive menu are equally tempting, and the crowds in the restaurant's three large dining rooms are not deceiving. In season, don't miss the mango lassi. The neighboring Bhrawan Da Dhaba offers more or less the same menu.

This large, chic, sombre hall welcomes Gentry de Chandigarh. Choose a small table on the podium which offers you a breathtaking view of the restaurant and the collection of pure malt in the bar.

A very good address, perfect for dinner in lovers or among friends.

Near Sudder Street, here is a good option to try the local specialties. You don't know the names of the Bengali dishes? Kasturi has found the solution: the waiter brings you the daily dishes available and you choose! The food, spicy to perfection, is excellent. And if you hesitate, order a thali with its myriad of flavors. The room is not very friendly, the tables are close to each other, and the place can quickly become crowded. Several restaurants of this famous chain are scattered around the city.

This small restaurant located on the beach, but not overlooking the ocean, offers honest local specialties and very good fish and seafood recipes. Try their recipes based on grilled fish, shrimps or squids. The service is nice and you will surely meet other travelers. Moreover, the prices are very affordable. Nice open terrace and possibility to have a cold beer under the coat. But hush!

This flagship restaurant of Kolkata has several addresses in the city, this one is located at the corner of Esplanade on the^1st floor. In a small and not very welcoming room, they serve an authentic and modern Bengali cuisine. The mutton curries are particularly famous, but don't miss the fish specialties either.If the names don't ring a bell, try the Bhojohori Thala, a Bengali thali consisting of an assortment of vegetarian dishes, to be accompanied by a non-vegetarian main dish of your choice.

Located in a small recess before the Gesmo Restaurant, just in front of the Yak Tail Hotel. We would tend to hide this small canteen, and it would be a pity! The setting is ordinary but the food is delicious. Specialties cooked in the tandoor, chicken tikka, mutton, biryanis, vegetarian dishes, different kinds of naan... It's also a place to go if you like spicy Indian breakfasts... Friendly service. Besides, the locals are not mistaken, this small dhaba is often full!

It is the ideal place to taste the excellent and unknown specialties of the North-East of India. Several fish and pork dishes are also on the menu. Pleasant setting, courteous service and friendly atmosphere. Local handicrafts and orchids for sale. Recommended.

An atypical restaurant. You can sit in the air-conditioned dining room, at one of the many tables scattered in the lush garden, or perched in a hut. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff will do everything to satisfy you. Many local specialties are on the menu: typical dishes of the region, products of the Chilika Lake fishery (crab, shrimp, freshwater fish), fish and seafood... but also more "classic" dishes. Don't hesitate to take a look at the recommendations of the day. Not to be missed.

Without forgetting to revisit the classics of Assamese cuisine, such as pork curry. The dishes are copious and very well presented. It's a pity that the setting is a bit plain.

The Tellow Chilli restaurant is part of a famous chain whose dishes have been developed by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, a national celebrity. The first restaurant to open its doors was in Andheri, Mumbai. The Yellow Chilli offers a modern take on traditional North West Indian cuisine in an elegant and refined setting. An excellent cuisine full of flavors. Interesting work on the presentation of the dishes. Possibility to accompany your meal with a very good cocktail or a beer. Reservation recommended.

The hotel's restaurant has an elegant and pleasant modern setting, in contrast to the establishments targeted at tourists who come to get drunk. The menu features specialties from all over the country, including fish, shrimp, chicken and more. Some Chinese and Western dishes are also on the menu.

If you're looking to treat yourself to dinner, check out the Radisson Blu Hotel, home to one of the city's best restaurants, The Great Kabab Factory. In a modern decor with shimmering colors is offered a unique menu that varies daily and is presented in buffet style. There are several stations to choose from, with excellent kababs being the most popular. The concept created by Radisson is a great success wherever it is established.

Here is a new establishment opened by a French woman, which is located very close to the central ghat, on the rooftop of Baba Guesthouse. The room is spacious and impeccable, with a superb view on the Ganges. Here the Indian specialties are particularly successful (delicious thali) and adapted to European palates. And for those who are homesick, we also offer pancakes, quiches lorraine, pasta, salads, and desserts to die for. Friendly atmosphere, discreet and pleasant music, games at disposal.

Self-proclaimed the "best dhaba in Amritsar", this small restaurant is located in a small alleyway just off the main shopping street. It is one of the only establishments in the area to offer both non-vegetarian (chicken, mutton, fish) and vegetarian cuisine. The tandoor-cooked specialties are all the rage, the mutton curries rich, the pranth lacchadar (local parothas) delicious and the fish dishes hearty. The room is not very welcoming, but the service is friendly and fast. A popular place to go.

The restaurant on the terrace of this guesthouse offers a view on the city gate and the cuisine of the Agarwel family, owner of the place, is absolutely delicious. The kofta, with or without sauce, are the specialty of the place. We recommend the cheese kofta and the kashmiri kofta (potatoes, cheese, cashew nuts and grapes), both are a treat! Don't forget the Indian desserts like the kheer or the nan khatai, cookies which are the specialty of Fathepur. A good address for a meal or a snack!

Zen atmosphere in this quality bar-resto. The owner is Indian, but not from the area. Nice decoration, varied menu, healthy and original cooking (there is even sushi!) and very fresh products. Try a house cocktail, like the Flamingo made with cranberry, lemonade, pineapple and lemon juice, a shake and a smoothie. Recommended dishes include veggie or chicken bibimbap, soups or one of the breakfast options. On sunny days, sit outside; the view of the river and mountains is stunning. Live music in the evening.

Lung Ta has been around for years, and is still going strong thanks to its original philosophy: serving authentic Japanese vegetarian dishes. Every day of the week, a different complete menu is offered: miso soup, sushi, soy steak, vegetable croquettes, coleslaw, fried tofu and steamed rice are all featured in these " special sets ". Excellent cuisine and meticulous presentation. The place also boasts a pleasant terrace. A well-deserved success.

For the record, Arbuda is the old name of the city, which was named Mount Abu only in 1957. Very well located, in the heart of the city, this restaurant serves Punjabi dishes famous for its spicy cuisine, Indian-style Chinese, but also pizzas and burgers. In spite of this wide choice, it is the Indian specialties that seduced us. The thali gujaratii served at will is not spicy! This should seduce you... Unless it is the friendly atmosphere that reigns in the large outdoor room..

This good little restaurant is located just in front of the fort. It is regularly visited by tourists before or after the visit of the Junagarh, but also by a young clientele, because the restaurant is also a "coffee bar" serving a whole range of coffees, mochas and fresh fruit juices. You can eat outside on the terrace with a view of the fort, or inside, without a view but in a cool place. On the menu, Indian and Chinese dishes. Try if you haven't already the lal maas or the ker sangri, it's amazing, typical of Rajasthan and very good.

Between Ulanbazar and the Supreme Court, this restaurant is located on the first floor of a bourgeois building. You will be welcomed by a big Buddha in a Thai setting. Claustras, exotic wood, chopsticks... The menu is presented on an electronic tablet. You can compose your menu by strolling between the countries of Southeast Asia: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia... the specialties are numerous. The cuisine lacks a little finesse, but the intention is there. The hushed setting allows to spend a pleasant evening.

This restaurant is housed in a magnificent house with carved wood panelling. Inside too, the setting is sumptuous. Woodwork, frescoes, copper dishes... The rustic Indian elegance is expressed here wonderfully. A large choice of dishes cooked in the tandoor. You will find the traditional kebabs or tandoori chicken, but also lobster cooked in the oven. The prices are quite high, but the food is excellent. The kebabs are soft, the lobster has a smoky taste and the spices are well balanced. Three establishments of the sign in Kolkata.

This restaurant is absolutely great. If you're in the area of the Convention Center or the airport, come here for a break. The room is large and inspired by the industrial style. An old tractor painted in yellow sits in the middle and is a delight for the kids. Because we come here with our families to enjoy the chicken tikka. It is spicy, but juicy and cleverly spiced. Just look at the number of people who come here to dine in or take away. A very good discovery. Kolkata has five such establishments.

On the second floor of a building on Mall Road, this small restaurant with midnight blue velvet benches offers a long room. On the menu, a mix of international and Indian cuisine. Sandwiches, pizzas or burgers served with crispy fries are served alongside vegetarian kebabs and chicken tikka. However, we recommend the Indian specialties, which are much more successful. On the other hand, the portions are a bit small. The result is quite appreciable and the atmosphere is nice. Just like the service.
