Do you still don't know where to find Japanese Food in Varanasi? This is the Best place serving Japanese Food in our city of Ghats,Varanasi. Food~ We tried their Dimsums,Country Drink and Country Special Pizza. The Mocktail Country Drink was actually a blend of two different flavours and was really refreshing in this hot weather outside.The Pizza was perfectly cooked and it's quantity was perfect too. Ambience and Service~ They have a cosy and relaxing ambience.You can chill out with your buddies or can even spend some lovable time with your partner here! The Service was satisfying and the Staff were very responsive and helpful.

Nice place. There's comfortable seating arrangements. Italian here tastes better than the Japanese. Service is also nice, polite waiters and they don't take much time to prepare food. But overall going here is a nice experience. Feels underrated though.

10 reasons why you should come to this place: 1) They accept credit card payment 2) It's AC and awesome environment 3) Staff is very nice 4) The toilet is clean and they have toilet paper! 5) Not touristy at all 🙌 6) Awesome strawberry and mango ice teas 7) Good music 8) Very reasonable prices 9) Incredible Manchurian (you can select how spicy you want) 10) Best homemade ice cream over best cheesecake in India P.S.: Hot chocolate is a must (they know what they're doing)

Cozy place, where to enjoy Indian, Japanese and Continental food. In here you can try wide tea selection, what I highly recommend. Prices are little bit above average, but your stomach will be happy.

A hidden gem in Shivala . The restaurant serves great Japanese food and some good Thai curry as well. The cheese cake served here is quite good as well.

Nice ambience. Food tastes good. Most of the items were not available because lack of staff due to holi. Tried indian cuisine, liked everything except Biryani. Do try home made icecream, you will love it. Staff was very polite. The unique thing about this restaurant is that the owner is Japani.

Mouth watering taste of choices at menu. Garlic chicken serves well for snacks purpose. Lemon Honey Ginger drink makes you feel overcoming sneezing cold n warming factor.

Pricy but clean, cozy atmosphere with not so bad Japanese food. Working wifi as well. 400 ruppee meal is surely pricy for Varanasi standard but it actually came with Miso soup, little Vegi salad and a cup of tea, so kind of acceptable. Ordered chicken teriyaki and it was dipped in the teriyaki sauce. Soso but maybe not bad for an old city in a second tier Indian city. Servers are professional and very attentive.

Quaint restaurant serving Japanese, continental and Indian choices. I loved the music and furniture. Serving was quick and courteous. I had the tempura udon and momos and they were delicious. My husband had the Teriyakadon: a mutton and rice dish that he enjoyed. His came wth a side of shaved radish and a bowl of miso soup. Highly recommend. Be forewarned, they only have squat toilets... though they are clean and sanitary.

This place is one of the two best places for Japanese food in town, the other being Megu Café in Gowdolia. It is silent Café very close to the Shivala Ghat. The staff is very courteous and helps you in whichever way possible. I had been here for a number times and very time I was more than happy with the food and the service. The first time was here, I order Vegetable Tempura and Gyoza (Veg & Nonveg) along with a cheesecake. Delicious! Recently when we visited I:ba, we order the Japanese Platter which had a number of dishes including Mutton Teriyaki, Tuna with lady fingers, marinated cucumber & spinach, garlic, chicken seek kabab, mushroom and soyabean seek kabab, rice noodles with tempura, vegetable tempura, miso soup, baked Eggplant with sweet miso sauce, sticky rice with beetroot pickle, home made coconut ice cream and Hojicha. A single person cannot complete the dish, that's for sure. Everything was delicious and healthy. The burst of flavours in the mouth is worth a visit!

I love this place always, nice place for Japanese food, vegetarian can also survive there.

The honey lemon ginger tea was refreshing on cool evening. The ramen and udon dishes were tasty.

If you wanna japanese food in India you can eat here Probably you are a little bit tired eating local food. then you have choices a few Japanese menus

Nice ambience. Good and affordable meal options.

Wonderful place to eat and drink, staffs are friendly and relaxed atmosphere

The place is small but not bad. Ambience is okay for the size of the place and it's usually filled with tourists. The staff doesn't seem professional but the menu is great and so is the food. The place is quite, or at least it was when i visited so that's always nice. Over all, the place okay for some quick authentic Japanese cuisine.

Delicious! We went here for dinner this evening and it was lovely. The food was so tasty & well priced and the place has a very comfortable atmosphere. Definitely recommend the aloo Ghobi or the minestrone soup. Mahendra the owner/manager was very nice - he even gave us some extra rice his wife had made for free to have with our left over chapati. We'll be back for sure!
