Found the cafe on Google during my visit to Varanasi. The place is very close to Assi Ghat and the moment we entered the cafe we liked it instantly especially because of the sitting arrangement which is super cozy and comfortable and gives you the feeling of home. The staff is polite . The view from the window of the cafe is lively especially in the evening or night. I liked the handwritten menu card 😊 yes the food taste can be improved and adding a few non vegetarian items to the menu would be an added advantage. Also if a corner can be arranged for hand wash or a small basin in the toilet itself could be very helpful. Overall a great place to chill out. 👍
True Hindustani Cafe
The vibes are very cool and easy. The floor seating even makes it more authentic. The wall art is exquisite. And ekdum mast khana. My personal favorite was the daal or lentil soup. Thick, soul filling, and cooked at its finest. Rotis well done. Paneer tikka and Mix veg were filling and tasty and not over the top at all. Onion pakodas were crispy and fun. Paneer parantha was just love, I am a big paneer fan and this was the best so far. Sattu parantha was excellent. Not at all dry, the filling was well kneaded, and acchar along with it just bursted all the flavours. Poha was also one of the top dishes. We ended it with a refreshing and authentic Kashmiri Kahwa and Mint Lemonade.
Surely visiting here again.
Never been to a restaurant with chilled and relaxing vibes like this. Amazing atmosphere with overwhelmingly good food!
100% recommend visiting this place!
Located close to ghat the food here is good followed by fast service and decent ambience. Tried multiple dishes here which were tasty and value for money.
This was my favorite place in my month in Varanasi, a beautiful space, decorated and taken care of to the smallest detail, the staff super kind, helpful and friendly, I felt always welcomed as if by family and the food! Wow! Everything, whatever I had was ALWAYS beyond my expectations, made in the moment and always tasty! I totally recommend this place! I am looking forward to being back again!
A cute small restaurant to have dinner. Great atmosphere and the host is lovely. Food is good and they also have games you can play. Would recommend
Highlight of my food experiences in Varanasi. Stumbled upon this beautifully decorated restaurant/cafe in Assi ghat. The walls are covered in Madhupani paintings reflecting the culture of the lovely and welcoming female entrepreneur (Diljeet) who runs the cafe. We were welcomed warmly by Diljeet and the staff. Food was prepared to our spice tolerance level. I ordered a Bihari thali which was as tasty as it was beautiful. I’ve never tried authentic Bihari food but I can’t imagine it gets any better than this. There were three types of veg preparation (most involving potatoes and aubergines), a Dahl, sattu puris, raita, salad, dessert and a sattu drink. If you ask Diljeet, you’ll get a good explanation of everything on the menu. My partner ordered curd rice which was just what he needed for a case of Delhi belly. While the food can take some time to prepare, be assured that it is totally worth it! I wish I was staying longer and had a chance to try more dishes. Highly highly recommend!
Best homemade food we’ve had in India, nonetheless the best service, with a very personal and caring approach to every client. The atmosphere is cozy and chill, very relaxing and pleasant.
We have eaten there at least 4 times while in Varanasi.
Couldn’t recommend more this place.
Greetings Romy and Jo
Loved the food and ambience. Ordered bihar thali and it was yumm and authentic taste, would definitely recommend to try.
The best food, cosy and quiet atmosphere near crowded Assi ghat. We recommend this place for everybody who need a little getaway from noisy city! Diljeet poha was really amazing.
