Joney's Place — Restaurant in Agra

Just a stones throw from the Taj, Joneys place is a family restaurant that makes both a mix of delicious Indian and Western food.

Everything was fresh as can be, with the chef often sending for ingredients from the local market - a huge yes from us! The food was good… so good that we ended up coming back every meal we were in Agra…. Hah!

I tried most of the menu. My favourite dishes were the Palek Paneer and the Veg+Cheese Pakoras. If mangos are in season, DO NOT SKIP the fresh mango juice, it is INSANE! Also the banana lassi is like a banana milkshake.. my fav sweet treat.

Lastly, the staff brothers are incredibly friendly, have great English and were willing to accomodate my dietary requirements (I am gluten-free). They go above and beyond. For example once one of the brothers saw us walking and gave us a ride to and from an ATM on his motorcycle cause it was on his way! Legends. Thanks for having us to feast!

Oh and my girlfriend ordered the veg max and cheese three nights in arrow… it...

Finding Korean cuisine in India is a rarity, and Joney's Place offers a unique fusion of Korean and Indian flavors. However, if you're expecting authentic Korean dishes, you may be disappointed.

We tried a variety of dishes including bulgogi rice, omurice, sujebi, kimchi fried rice, and banana lassi. Among them, the banana lassi stood out for its real banana flavor and refreshing taste.

In summary, while Joney's Place offers an interesting fusion of Korean and Indian cuisine, those seeking authentic Korean dishes may be disappointed by the Indian-influenced flavors and small portion sizes. Additionally, be prepared for slow service due to...

No need to go to the small food stalls near the entrance of Taj Mahal where you are most likely to be scammed or exploited. Walk for around 15 minutes and you will find this amazing little restaurant where they serve various types of food, foods which are delicious and hygienic as well. I met the owner who I found to be quite hospitable and an excellent conversationalist. He made sure I was comfortable there, and his son prepared such a refreshing Lassi! I was desperately in need of something cold and soothing after visiting Taj Mahal in this hot weather and it was just that. Also tried one of their signature items since it was the only thing available at that time. I ended the eating session with cold coffee with ice cream there. Was planning to go back to have late lunch but couldn't as I had a train to catch. Akram was very quite friendly and I had a long and interesting chat with him. I'd highly...
