Review Dolphin Restaurant - Varanasi

Food was nice. The View is to die for. Seeing all the recent reviews, I was sceptical before visiting but I had a great experience. The Paneer Butter masala was very delicious. Everything was very neat and clean.

Highly recommended for relaxing post your long walks along the ghats. The staffs were super nice with an amazing view of Ma Ganga. The foods were extremely nice and priced the perfect. I enjoyed my afternoon here and thanks to the ambience and the perfect scenic lunch spot.

This restaurant has the vibe of Varanasi. You must visit here to enjoy the good food and environment. It has fabulous view of ghat and staff is soo polite and respectful. The feather in the hat, the staff will literally extend their closing time if you are reaching last minute. A must visit with family and friends.

Nice experience with a great view. This restaurant gives you a beautiful view of Varanasi ghat. It gets more amazing in the night but prefer to go in the winters it's more pleasurable and you will fall in love with Varanasi. Tasty food with reasonable price. Staff is cooperative. Easy to locate from dashashvmedh ghat. Best to visit once on your trip to Varanasi. I had a good experience.

Tasty food and clean restaurant. I searched many restaurant in varanasi and finally found this. The staffs are quite helpful and attentive. They speak both English and Hindi well & good. Cost of Food is slightly on higher side. But taste and quantity is worth for the price. I ordered briyani... and not able to finish the briyani. I enjoyed the riverview and finished my Lunch.

Rooftop is perfect place to sit in this restaurant Ganga - Ghat - Dolphin rooftop You can see river ganga in day and night. A wholesome place to chill with Marshall system music.. A music of your choice Cool water of ganga A must visit a place to sit and enjoy the ganga at night

Best veg food I’ve had in my life. All items are delicious. Staff are very friendly and cooperative.

Nice restaurant, they have an open air balcony with a nice view of the Gangas, and a closed floor with AC, food was ok we had spaghetti with red sauce and it had a variety of vegetables it was very filling and delicious, also the mix veg. Curry with a garlic chapata was tasty. The bathroom could use a better a clean.

Nothing beats a creamy, thick chocolate shake after a nice burger and fries. It's the perfect decadent, drinkable dessert or snack.<br/>Sometimes, what we are finally served looks tempting and chocolaty but tastes unlike how we expected it to be. On our lucky days, we may come across shakes that taste as heavenly as they look.<br/>This one is from @thedolphinvaranasi *Tastes heavenly*<br/>.

#LATEPOST<br/><br/>PLEASE DON'T VENTURE OUT UNTILL & UNLESS IT'S AN EMERGENCY - STAY INDOORS & KEEP YOURSELF & EVERYONE AROUND YOU #SAFE 🙏<br/><br/>#Varanasi being primarily a #Veg food destination - I was not left with much choices during our family vacation to this city earlier this year.. Having said that, I was pretty happy with one of my discoveries - #DolphinRestaurant at #ManmandirGhat.. <br/><br/>Situated right on the bank of river #Ganges - this two storeyed restaurant with an open terrace offers you a perfect ambience for a meal with an excellent view from almost every table - ofcourse, a vegetarian meal only.. Prices are slightly on the higher side of the spectrum but the service is top notch..<br/><br/>The #ColdCoffee was perfect for me - thick and frothy with loads of chocolate.. <br/><br/>I must admit that the #RussianSalad that I enjoyed here was by far the best I have ever had till date - fresh cream and freshly cut exotic fruits made this one hell of a combination.. Fell in love instantly with the first bite.. <br/><br/>#BakedPotato was an heavenly affair with an overload of cheese and potatoes (one that every Bengali foodie would vouch for)..😄<br/><br/>#MUSTVISIT whenever you are in Varanasi.. 😍<br/><br/>#VaranasiDiaries 🕺<br/><br/>Journey of an Epicurean Cine Trotter continues.. 👣<br/><br/>Thank you all for being a part of our Facebook family - Kolkata Food Trotters - please #LIKE & #FOLLOW our #PAGE as well - Kolkata Food Trotters ❤️

This place has its own rooftop restaurant which makes people attractive for river view. All kind of foods available. Sharing The cuisines which I have tried there. The Iris Cold coffee makes my day. Other food items were also yummicious.<br/>Many of the family gathering held over the rooftop. So it's safe and sound good for families.

I recently visited this place, this place is situated at the dasaswmedh ghat. This place has both outdoor and indoor seating, such a beautiful view from the top of the restaurant. It has lovely ambience, basically foreigners used to visit this place. Now talking about food, they serve us-:<br/>Kafir Date Shake<br/>Irish Cold Coffee<br/>Alloo achari<br/>Pasta ravioli red sauce<br/>Spl Paneer sandwich gravy<br/>Gobi lollipop<br/>Aloo Dum Banarasi<br/>Mix varieties roti<br/>Rasmalai<br/>Pineapple cheese sticks<br/>All the dishes were good but some dishes needs improvement. Presentation of the dishes were so good. According to the food their prices are lit bit high. I truly recommend to try this Irish Cold Coffee and kafir date shakes. They were amazing. All the dishes staffs were good and humble. Their service were quick, So I truly recommend you all to must visit this place..

This restaurant located at the heart of the city serves you with a variety of cuisines. The ones highly recommended are Irish Cold Coffee, Pineapple Cheese Stick, Rasmalai, Ravioli in red sause, Special Paneer Sandwich Gravy and Rasmalai. The Indian cuisine could be worked upon a little. The ambience is lit. They also have a roof top seating area. You can enjoy some quality time with friends and family with a perfect view of river Ganges. The service is nice and the vibes here are cosy and comfy. The place is best suited for dates and events.

This restaurant is located right at the shore of Ganga ghat, which itself provides it with breathtaking view of Ganga and the innumerable boats floating on it. The ambience inside was comfortable and welcoming. The menu was quite exhaustive and was serving across most of the cuisines. The food tasted nice. The service was slow however.

Dolphin Restaurant - Dashaswmedh Road, Varanasi <br/><br/>In our recent trip to Varanasi the city of Lord Shiva, we had a lot of street food and also visited this beautiful restaurant beside the banks of Ganga. This restaurant have a mesmerising view of river Ganga and will you out of the world feeling. <br/><br/>We order the following items (as we already had a lot of street food) <br/><br/>1. All Veggies Pizza <br/>2. White sauce Pasta <br/><br/>The food was good although you can compare the same with a cafe in Delhi or Mumbai but yes it was tasty and crisp. Again the unique point is the view with which you have the food and it was great. <br/><br/>So this place is a must try if your are in Varanasi. <br/><br/>Overall Rating 4/5

A bit pricier than most but clean premises and excellent food. Real attention to detail in the cooking and presentation. All vegetarian cuisine but are delightful the best part is the river ganges in gront which makes it more happier place.

Must try their shakes & sandwiches if u want too feel peace of mind this place is much recommend in front of Ganga ghat very freindly staff .

Situated at the holy banks of Ganga River specifically at the Dasaswmedh Ghat,this place will give you one of the best site view of Ganges!<br/>Food~<br/>All of the dishes we tried were of amazing flavour and quality.I liked the Kiwi Mocktail and their Dolphin's Special Pizza the most.We tried their Chocolate Shake,Brownie with Ice Cream,Hakka Noodles,and Baby Corn too.The taste and the presentation of all the dishes were very yumm and up to the standards!<br/>Ambience~<br/>Talking about the amazing ambience they hold😍,so they have their restaurant divided into two parts.One is the Rooftop area and the other is the ground floor sitting.You will adore their Rooftop area the most,the ambience and the views of Ganga makes it the most Beautiful!<br/>The indoor seating is also very nice.<br/>The Service and the Staff both are very satisfying and quick.<br/>You will surely have a good time here.Visit with your loved ones!<br/>Must Recommended!

Visited here during varanasi trip. They have indoor and outdoor both seating space. <br/>Located just bank of river so view is just amazing and specially in evening.<br/>Food was good but service has disappointed me.

Good vegetarian food. Very polite staff. Located right on the ghat. Just after a boat ride...good place to have quick food. Had sweetcorn soup, mixed vegetable noodles, fresh orange juice...it was nice.

Review Time!<br/>Dolphin Restaurant<br/>Situated in between small galiya’s of varanasi, you will find this beautiful & peaceful restaurant near manmandir, dashashwamedh ghat. <br/>One can go there by boat or by road as well.<br/>We had this amazing pizza there which tasted really good.<br/>A must visit place for you people!<br/>Go ahead and share your experience with me.

I'm giving 3 star only for the ambience of the restaurant and good behaviour of the staff. I visited Varanasi last July and went to this restaurant, I had ordered Mojito which was too sweet. They should be more concious about the taste of what they are serving. Thank you.

Nice ambience with good music,and perfect place to have dinner. Service was nice and Food was also nice with perfect view of Ganga. Little overpriced but worth it.

They are very polite and hospitality is amazing. Very well behaved staff. Food is average and overpriced but the view from the restaurant is great.

Had a dinner at this top roof restaurant near dasawamedha ghat. One can enjoy a great view of river ganga from here along with the tasty food. Overall I had a good experience here.

I have been to this restaurant with a friend. we were not there for lunch but still we tried couple of items which were a sort of spinach and peas tikki with chutney and bhindi masala, with naan and roti. I must say everything was simply delicious and I had to ask the chef the recipe of the bhindi which were so different from what I usually have in Delhi. Apart from the food, there are no words to express the beauty of the view from here. The ambience is classy and clean. I suggest to go here for dinner and enjoying the view of the Ganges (see attached pics)

Don't trust the owner, they think that foreigners are foolish. We asked for menu and he said that there was not menu, after other people(local)had the menu. Don't go there, BTW the food was not even good. Just for give you an example: a couple of toast with jam and cornflakes plus milk 450 rupies after one hour of waiting!

The view of the Ganges and the decent ambience are the only redeeming factors of this restaurant.<br/><br/>We were happily stood waiting for a table to become free, when the staff insisted on making us sit with a woman who had barely finished her meal, creating an uncomfortable and unnecessary fuss, which was only salvaged by her friendliness.<br/><br/>The food is incredibly overpriced for what it is - they are clearly trading on their location and reference on the Lonely Planet. Also the waiter wasn't able to explain the food on the menu, and what was served was quite different from what we expected. The attached photo is 'Brownie with ice cream.' As you can see there was no ice cream to be seen.<br/><br/>We only went there because the bakery that we were looking for was unfortunately closed that day, and we honestly recommend you to go anywhere else in the surrounding area.<br/>

This place has been renovated and it looks very classy. They have come up with an entire new menu which I think is overrated. I had hot coffee and cold coffee and I think they really need to learn how to make a coffee. Coffee (milk) was super thin and I find it very disappointed that they serve it in a tea pot with a cup. The cold coffee was also thin, not price worthy. The ambience was amazing, the staff were hostile and the service was also good and the view from the window was breath-taking. But I think they need to work on their coffee, which I heard that was very good though it leave me disappointed.

Location of this restaurant is too good as you will get the beautiful view of ganga.<br/>Food - yummylicious<br/>Service - not too good 4/5<br/>Rooftop - yes<br/>But expensive!

We were recommended this restaurant by the Manager of the hotel nearby where we were staying. The food was good. A pan Indian menu. We pretty much enjoyed all the items we ordered. The view from the roof top is awesome, and no issues climbing 6 odd floors for it. <br/><br/>Service however was very disappointing. The look on the face of the staff was like "what the hell are you guys doing here?". It was evident from their demeanour that they prefer Westerners to Indians. When we saw beer being served to the foreigners and asked for two cans for us, we curtly told that they serve beer only to guests who are staying with them. However this was not true. Since we saw beer being served to two guests (westerners) who were staying in the same hotel as us. My friend and I decided not to make it an issue, since we were there for dinner and not for beer. And creating a ruckus for a can of beer isn't worthwhile anyhow. Given this treatment of Indians by the staff, I will never visit them again. Later, our hotel manager told us of the issues they have with brawls by Indian guests following alcohol consumption. However, this does not mean every Indian is going to create a brawl. And if someone does so, employ a bouncer to take care of the situation. Holy Ganga is flowing adjacent to bring senses back! <br/><br/>I would have given a higher rating if the service was good and non racist.

La gran gracia de este lugar es su hermosa y amplia Vista al río, por lo que es genial poder tomar desayuno en la terraza mirando el paisaje. Comimos un omelette que estaba bien, lo mismo que el té Chai y el jugo de mango.

I loved it here... If u can spend a lil more money and if you love non veg food.. It's the perfect place.<br/>The mutton is exquisite. <br/>Bottom line : a culinary delight.?

The view is unparalleled, and this is what they are marketing ... And not the food. The food is at least the chicken I tried was not good. The chicken was uncooked. Another drawback it was very costly and they don't accept cards. Don't go there if you are going for the food .

I came here with a group of friends for a quiet lunch, but I was slightly disappointed with the experience.  Firstly, the staff wasn't too helpful in serving, or even seating us for that matter.  Secondly, the food was quite expensive.  It was far more expensive than other restaurants I had visited around the city.  The portion sizes weren't great either.  I stuck with a lassi and ended up sharing a small plate with my friends.  Honestly, you are paying for the view.  It's quite a sight to behold against the Ganges.  I don't think there are any higher rooftop restaurants with such a spectacular view.  That was the most memorable part of the restaurant sadly.
