Where to have lunch on the go North India

This trendy little café-restaurant is adjacent to the boutique of the same name. The golden youth of Jaipur meets here to enjoy bagels, falafels, tapenade, brie sandwiches, hummus, pesto... The choice of international inspiration is not only very eclectic, but also very convincing. The pastries, cookies, chocolates and desserts of all kinds also hit the spot. You can accompany everything with an espresso (a rarity in India), a fruit juice or an ice tea. If you need to let go, this is the place to be.

Another institution in Varanasi. For those who have known Blue Lassi for a long time, the quality fluctuates over the years. The tiny tasting room encourages meetings with other travelers. On the menu: more than a hundred flavors of lassis, with fruits, chocolate, etc. We particularly recommend the one with saffron and dried fruits. Be careful, avoid ordering a "Special Lassi", and be careful with your belongings, the success of the place has attracted many unsavory people...

The kati roll is Bengal's specialty: a still hot parotha , an egg spread on it that is finishing its cooking, minced red onions, a pinch of chili, lemon juice, then the filling of your choice: paneer, chicken or mutton. You'll find them all over the city but they're probably the best here according to our local sources! It's hearty, the meat is tender and the roll is juicy. The classic egg chicken roll. Eating a Kati Roll standing in the street is a perilous exercise, watch your fingers!

Four small stalls lined up, close to St. Paul's church in Landour, mainly frequented by students from the nearby Woodstock School. The food is simple, but the place is especially popular with travelers for its friendly atmosphere, the kindness of the shopkeepers and the great view. Sit on the terrace to enjoy the place. You can enjoy snacks(parotha, omelets, sandwiches, maggi noodles), sweet pancakes, and of course hot drinks (different kinds of tea and coffee).

A large room in the basement with several tables and surprisingly comfortable benches. This Indian-style fast-food restaurant serves mainly South Indian specialities: masala dosa, uttapam, iddly... But also burgers, grilled sandwiches, pizzas... The titles of the dishes can sometimes seem a bit simple compared to what is served. The place is particularly famous for its ice creams. To find it, take a left out of the Kutch museum. The restaurant is just behind the red temple on the square.

If you haven't had a chance to try the creamy lassis at Jaipur's Lassiwala, you can make up for it here. This street corner stall sells delicious saffron flavored lassis. They are prepared freshly every day and if you come early in the morning, you will even see Anant doing the final preparations. Served in the traditional clay cups, you can ask for it salted, sweetened, with extra cream. A perfect stop after visiting the museum which is just a few steps away.

Located on the second floor of a small building, this popular local eatery has a real snack bar feel. Tiles are everywhere, tables are raised and benches run along the walls. South Indian cuisine is served here: dosas, iddly, uttapam, vada and other delights that are popular all over the country. Also on the menu are burgers, pizzas (and even "pizza-dosas"), and drinks such as mango lassi and café frappé... Tasty and inexpensive. Several outlets in Kolkata.
