I don’t have why food bloggers create so much hype for this place after getting disappointed from Banaras, I am posting my experience below. Taste : This is just a normal lassi with lot of butter and malai added to top of it which makes this really heavy to digest nothing else special like gulab jal or elaichi which I am used to in lassi which I got in mathura and agra.

Price: Rs 60-80 which is I think is justified.

Location: As this place in the market, so its would be tuff to get a parking spot else you can drive thru.

Other then that out of 4 glass there were lot of hairs in one glass of lassi when I pointed out and take them out of cup then also their reaction was very cold they are not bothered about what experience we had because of this after reminding to give a fresh new glass they gave me replacement with the same quantity which was earlier left in the glass and did not put malai or butter after reminding this again they put some of it on top.

So I think because of popularity they overlook hygiene so I prefer to have food where they keep good hygiene and food which you will anywhere in Amritsar.

But their Rabri was classic in taste you must try.

Amritsar has its own flavours you will find good taste mostly in all eateries, so prefer avoiding places recommended by food bloggers instead go with local’s...

Gian or Giani??

How can a trip to Amritsar be complete without the best lassi? So after googling found that Gian lassi is the best and so I followed google walk direction to reach the destination(btw using google walk navigation is a must to find places in Amritsar).

Once I reached the location, right on the corner I found Giani Lassi & was about to place my order. However, noticed that the very next shop was also selling lassi.

So out of curiosity -- took a few steps outside and saw that the next shop name was also v similar. So I took out my phone and quickly realized:

(1) The original shop is "Gian d Lassi" which is the second shop. (2) The shop on the corner is a great Punjabi entrepreneur as he opened his shop as "Giani Lassi". (3) The original Gian di lassi shop had a few north Indian kids working(when I reached) whereas " Giani lassi" has sardars running the store.

I was yet again amused to see the entrepreneurial spirit of Indians where essentially your neighbor shop owner - changes his shop name similar to your shop & starts selling the same stuff.

I was amazed to see that "Giani Lassi" didn't even list themselves on Google(and are 100% piggi banking on reviews of Gian lassi on Google), after all why would they like to create or shall I say clear the confusion in minds...
