The staff were friendly. The balcony has river view. It is a vegetarian restaurant and the food was good. Th price of alcoholic drink is unreasonable high! 500 rupees for a beer!

Wonderful spot in Varanasi looking out onto the Ganges, staff were second to none, really friendly and attentive. The food was also excellent, we had a mixture of dishes and all of them were excellent! Added bonus that it is right next door to the...ghat that has Aarti each night.More

Pretty good restaurant in a busy area. We had the Kadai Paneer and the deep fried baby corn. It was very good. The portions are good enough to fill your hunger after a long walk along the ghats.

This restaurant has view to Ganga, what could explain the higher cost of food there. There were many flies inside, so I decided not to stay.

I came here twice (so, partly ‘shame on me’), and both times left wondering what I did to provoke such slow, almost surly service. The waitstaff on the deck seemed incapable of much communication beyond a grunt, they screwed my order up twice, I had...to visit other tables for napkins and salt and pepper, and settling the bill was a nearly 20 minute affair, despite the fact there were only a handful of other diners. The overpriced food was so-so. But, great view. So, if your experience was anything like mine, you’ll have lots of time to enjoy it.More

I love eating Indian food in restuarants with locals, however, if you want a break for one meal, this is the place to go. Great selection of international dishes, including Indian, in a wonderful atmpsphere with the best views of the ghat.

Great service, view and food. What’s not to like? Recommended by our guide. Go to the rooftop and enjoy the open air view of the ghats. Vegetarian due to its location. Cards and cash accepted.

We used this restaurant all the time as we were staying in the connected guest house. The food and service were great. You could get a beer for 500 rupees even though it was not on the menu.
