Unfortunately we only visited this restaurant on our last night otherwise we would have eaten there more often. We were given a lovely welcome and there was a vibrant atmosphere. It was evident that there were many regular customers. Kailash sat and talked us through the menu and we did go with some of his recommendations. Yes, the food is... More

I am not sure what people are complaining about on this blog! If you can find this place in the old city down the lanes near Hotel Alka then you'll be happy! Kailash who runs this place is great and his food is tasty and yes slightly more expensive than street food but on par and cheaper than other restaurants... More

Great friendly owner and awesome location with a super groovey tabla player at night But the food is overpriced, bland, tourist chow of dubious quality for people that have never eaten real indian food but want to hang out somewhere cool.

Food was average at best. However prices are extremely expensive. The owner was very nice and will try to recommend you dishes and it will always be the expensive stuff on the menu. Always ask for itemized bill or you may find yourself paying more than you should be. My lunch of 1 chicken dish(very small portion), 1 curry and... More

The food here is average at best. I went there for lunch and asked the waiter for the chef's special, and unsurprisingly he recommended the two most expensive things on the menu. but whatever, I was willing to come back if the food was good. Unfortunately it wasn't - it was just average, if that - and there was hair... More

Most restaurants in Varanasi are so so but this one is good in taste so if you are not a budget traveler or like me just want to have a try you can go there. The price is really expensive for India and obviously they changed price again and again on the menu because of the guide book recommendation. Very... More

We ate at Ganga Fuji twice- once for lunch and once for dinner. Lunch was ok, and so a few days later we thought we'd go for dinner. We never received an itemised bill, and the price seemed inflated both times. On our second visit, our waiter informed us that he had lost our payment from the last time, and... More

The restaurant owner was very friendly and sat down with us to explain the dishes on the menu. He even explained how each dish is prepared. We ordered our food and then waited over an hour and a half for it to arrive. When it did, it was absolutely delicious - but the long wait was very frustrating. By the... More
