Niyati Cafe — Restaurant in Uttar Pradesh

Worst EVER restaurant in my whole life. That too in Varanasi at such a holy place. Never expected this behaviour. Onwners, so called little girl (as her father said) and her father are so arrogant. There was a hair in a sabji bowl. Owner man said you got a new bowl that’s it then! First they made us wait for 30 min. Cafe didn’t have “Pure veg” tag but when us as pure vegetarian asked them if it is veg restaurant, they started taunting us telling about their personal information. Still we asked twice then girl laughed at us. As we were exhausted from long line of Kashi darshan we left it. But after giving feedback owner man started arguing and taking negative to us including my education, money stuff. We don’t have money, you are literate right he asked me!?!

Genuinely after exhausting day we were just expecting a good meal. But instead got disappointment, shouting at my father, arrogance, some taboo stuff talk and weird laughs at our each questions.

I would not...

An Absolute Gem for Vegetarian Food Lovers in Varanasi!

I recently visited this vegetarian restaurant during my trip to Varanasi, and I must say—it was one of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in the city! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance felt peaceful and welcoming, with a lovely mix of traditional décor and a clean, modern vibe.

I ordered the Thali, and every item was bursting with authentic flavors. The dal tadka was rich and comforting, the paneer butter masala melted in my mouth, and the fresh phulkas were served hot and fluffy.

One thing that truly stood out was the owner’s warm and humble nature. He personally checked on guests, made sure everything was perfect, and shared a few words with genuine hospitality. It's rare to see such dedication and heart in running a place.

This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for hygienic, flavorful, and soulful vegetarian food in Varanasi. I’ll definitely be...

A quaint little cafe by the corner overlooking the streets of Varanasi - this is by far the best cafe in Varanasi. I found myself going back to this place over and over again for it's simplicity, great food and the amazing host Ravi ji.

The food here is amazing - freshly made and tastes brilliant. It overlooks the street and hence my go to place when I want to rest a bit after all the exploration, watch people walk past through the glass window and journal my heart out.

Last but definitely not the least, the owner of the place Ravi ji is an absolute star - super helpful, friendly - gives you the best recommendations about his hometown Varanasi. My Varanasi trip wouldn't have been the same without him. Highly recommend...
