It's a dhaba in a market. Selling vegetarian food. Not a mid-range multicuisine restaurant. But its prices are. Example: modest meal for four people (three curries, bread, chai, and water): Rs. 800. If you want to eat well, go to the dhabas outside the bus station -- look for the lassiwallas. (The lassis are served with shavings of pistachio and... More

We found this restaurant quite easy to find following directions from the rough guide, you have to look for a narrow staircase between two shops but is it signposted. I was initially not too sure, it is very basic and the cook was cooking out on the roof with a fag hanging out his mouth! However the food was amazing.... More

It is so unfortunate when the Lonely Planet recommends a restaurant and then the restaurant suddenly gets an influx of customers so it then raises its prices up. This was once a cheap locals restaurant but now, I can tell you, that it's not cheap. We were shocked by the prices WHICH ARE DEFINITELY NOT LOCAL PRICES and we didnt... More

This rooftop place is very basic, but it's a fun place to watch the buzz around the city wall. Having said it, you may see flies in the kitchen, & the terrace is on one side above a dump which is definitely a fly zone. If you know that will make you uncomfortable, no use coming here. Only one of... More

Give this place a chance. Yes, it's on a rooftop, yes, it looks a little grubby, but the food is amazing, the views are too, and it was the cheapest place we ever ate in India (mainly because the drivers take you to really touristy places with no locals or atmosphere). I would heartily recommend you spend your $4 on... More

As many travellers are doing in India, my partner and I followed our guidebook's recommendation to try this restaurant. Staff are gruff, unsmiling and unhelpful. We witnessed a waiter spit over the rooftop edge, and mop up whatever was left on his chin with the rag he was using to polish plates before serving them to customers. To add insult... More

Excellent food at rock bottom prices and the location atop the city wall makes for great people watching. This is just a step above street food so don't go if you're expecting uniformed waiters and table linens, but if you are happy to eat local style you'll be happy here. More

Very hidden restaurant, we tried to go there using Lonely Planet's direction and was hopelessly lost. With the help of the locals, we managed to locate it. The entrance is a tiny stairways between two shop. Can't remember exactly between which two shops number, but think its near shop 3-6? The place is interesting with the hide-and-seek element and the... More
