Best restaurants in Varanasi.

Varanasi is also known as Benaras, Kashi. Varanasi is a city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh dating to the 11th century B.C. Regarded as the spiritual capital of India, the city draws Hindu pilgrims who bathe in the Ganges River’s sacred waters and perform funeral rites. Along the city’s winding streets are some 2,000 temples, including Kashi Vishwanath, the “Golden Temple,” dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.

Due to its religious importance & spiritual tourism, the Varanasi is the hot spot for national & international tourists. One of the other feature of this city is that that is the constituency of Indian Prime Minister Sh. Narender Modi. The city is fast developing and so is the FOOD scene .

Apart from local street food, many fine dining restaurants are attracting foodies, like never before.

The Yellow Chilli: The recently opened restaurant is from the chain of restaurants by India’s most loved chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

This restaurant guarantees very fine dining, impeccable service, finger licking food and above all value for money. One visit to this restaurant and you will come back again to savour other untried dishes, such is the food magic.

Located in the Zorba Tower, in Mahmoorganj area of Varanasi, this place is a treat for foodies. The ambience is cosy and elegant.

They offer a wide variety of cuisines and dishes from North @ North West frontier cuisine. The ambience of this place is polished and staff is really courteous. The place for nice peaceful lunch/ dinner with family and friends. Good service and food lives up to the expectations. You will fall in love with the ambience of the Yellow Chilli, candles placed on each table with some flowers, absolutely wonderful. Team experience at the yellow chilli was fantastic, Indian food always holds special place and the meal we had here was truly soul satisfying,

We definitely recommend this place for serving best traditional rich North Indian cuisine.
