Fresh, clean food at reasonable prices. Extensive menu makes it hard to decide each time what to get. Pizza breads are good and so is the pasta. The Indian lady is really kind but sometimes the young Indian men can be a bit rude. It's in a small quiet alley which we wouldn't have found if the big sign was... More

We went because of the tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The food was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The decor was interesting and we both enjoyed the experience. It is a little on the small size and geared towards the backpacker (lots of iphones out etc). Only foreign tourists were present while we were there and while we didn't... More

Excellent coffee and pizza on a small terrace roof. No real scenery or atmosphere... Bit like sitting in a cage but still enjoyed the food.

I stayed a month in Varanasi and regularly ate at the OM Cafe (this is the same as the Aum Cafe). It is run by an American woman who is very kind and clearly understands how important food safety it. The Lemon Lhassi was just outstanding, and the food was always good and healthy. However, often I went only to... More

The pancakes are the best pancakes ever! Oatmeal, juices, lassi, chai homemade bread also all delicious! Good value too. Its a small place, reached via cow pat alley, and it's always busy. I think maybe they should scrap the free wifi as people were hogging tables so they could use the wifi whilst others were waiting for a table. Definitely... More

I just wish there were more places like this in Varanasi because when I had brunch there soon after arriving in Varanasi I presumed it was probably a typical western hangout, but gradually discovered that this place was the exception rather than the rule! To be honest I've never in all my travelling ever known a place so terrible for... More
