Niyati cafe
After visiting dashashwamedh Ghat we were really very hungry so we went to a really amazing Cafe named Niyati cafe and its a very small restaurant which serves varieties of cusines including continental, American and Indians and we definitely preffered the authentic Indian food also be ordered a rice, dal and aloo gobi ki sabzi . The food served here is very simple and very yummy,And the best part about the restaurant is there everything is cooked fresh.The owner of the restaurant is a very very sweet guy and he and his wife manages the restaurant while she prepares the food and he manages the restaurant . Maximum of 15 people could be accommodated in the restaurant and we would definitely recommend this place and everyone must go there .
Lanka :Pahalwan dudh centre
In Varanasi there is a place called Lanka which is which is far away from the place where we were staying and after reading some blog recommendations in search of some amazing chat to our disappointment we did not find anything over there. But we found there was an amazing street food called the Chura matar which we saw just exploring the streets.There’s nothing so great about the place.And accidently the best part about going to Lanka was the Pahalwan dudh centre where you get a yummiest Gajar ka halva and we had the Balushahi Steaming hot flavoured milk is very famous during winters in Varanasi and we were wondering why everyone drinking the milk but to be very frank after tasting the milk we found our why!!! The milk tastes amazing with the essence of cardamom and because its being boiled for a longer time it gets that creamy texture. The boiling milk is served in kulhad which also enhances is the milk’s tastes and The longer it is boiled the better it tastes and its a must try beverages in Banaras.
Kashi chaat centre :Godowlia
Kashi chaat centre located near the godowlia chawk in Varanasi serves one of the best chaats in Varaonasi and it opens only in the evening by 6 pm and is always crowded. So we had this amazing tamatar Chaat, dahi vada , tikki chaat , paani puri and Chura matar (of course because I loved it the last time we had it) and I will recommend Kashi chat Centre to everyone who visits Varanasi just because of the amazing tamatar Chaat and also I never ever had such amazing chat ever.Also the service is very fast and every item is served steaming hot n fresh.
Sweet shops in Gowdowlia chawk
Sweets in Varanasi especially the one which made is made with milk is the totally recommendable because the the milk is very fresh and they make all the sweets with that fresh milk and the freshness of the sweets can be experienced. We had Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla, rasmalai,Cham cham and everything is very tasty and fresh. During Winters almost everyone in the town relishes the hot flavoured milk in the chilly nights of Varanasi and if you are craving for something warm and tasty definitely its the steaming hot creamy milk of Varanasi.
Chai Samosa and Boondi: Dashashwamedh Ghat
While walking towards the Dashashwamedh ghat the street has loads of shops which sell samosa chai and boondi, and I must say it’s really worth giving a try and I assure you the taste won’t disappoint you instead you will feel like having them more.
Litti Chokah: Rajendra Prasad Ghat
While we were strolling along the ghats we found this street vendor selling litti chokha and it was really amazing to have the authentic taste even at a local place.
Paan
Paan is soul of Varanasi and paan shop is found in every nook and corner of the city . Well to be very frank every shop serves really good paan as we had from multiple shops and cant decide which on e was best. The vendors would make it according to the taste which you like>also the size of the paan here is slightly bigger than the usual ones.
Steaming hot idlies : Godowlia Chawk
with For the morning breakfast we had steaming hot Idlies and coconut chutney with loads of mustard seeds on top from a small street vendor outside our hotel .We were a little sceptical about having idly from north India as being a South Indian we love Idli and don’t like to experiment when it comes to south Indian cuisine but this was really good and we were extremely satisfied.
Aloo parathas foms street vendors
As far as aloo paratha is considered you can happily have it from the street vendors ,its amazingly fresh and tasty
AS far as what we experienced have the local food and have it from the crowded street vendors because the crowd indicate the taste of a particular locality of city and crowd also ensure that theres something yummy food.
Poori sabzi Or kachoris
The streets shops and vendors of Varanasi serves these pooris or kachoris with aloo ( potato ) curry which is a must have and they have different variants in the recipes.
Malaiyo
Malaiyo is a frothy pleasant and firm dessert found only during the winters of Banaras. This is the elegant composition of milk, Saffron and several dry fruits, along with the most important ingredient, Dew. Yes this is the core reason why Malaiyo in winter is the availability of Dew.And trust me this would be a surprise for your taste buds.
