Savor the Iconic Flavors of Varanasi

Embark on a delightful culinary adventure with the most famous dishes of Varanasi. Whether you crave traditional street food or rich, authentic delicacies, our offerings ensure you experience the city's most cherished flavors right at your convenience. Here is a list of famous local food items you must try with your stay in Varanasi:

1. Barsana Lassi: Wondering how a simple drink like lassi made it to the list of most famous foods in Varanasi? Well, Banarasi Lassi is quite different from the ones available in other parts of the country. In Varanasi, lassi is prepared in a special way; it is more like a dessert drink and quite filling. To make Banarasi lassi, fresh curd and sugar are whisked for a while and then topped with rabri, saffron strands, and chopped pistachios and almonds.
2. Kulhad Chai: If you are looking to try popular drinks apart from foods in Banaras, remember to include kulhad chai in the list. Yes, a simple thing like chai tastes amazing in the city. It is prepared with buffalo milk and is richer and creamier when compared to regular tea.
3. Thandai: As famous as Banarasi paan, thandai is a flavoured cold drink that everyone visiting Banaras must try. While it is prepared like the usual thandai with milk, saffron, cardamom, fennel seeds, almonds, rose petals and sugar, a seasonal fruit puree is also added to the drink for that additional flavour.
4. Banarasi Paan: Say Banaras and the first thing that comes to mind is Banarasi paan, all thanks to the popular Bollywood song “Khaike Paan Banaras Wala”. As per locals, your meal is incomplete if you do not have a paan at the end of it. Banarasi paan is prepared by stuffing betel leaves with a combination of ingredients, like betel nuts, fennel seeds, clove powder, cardamom, cinnamon, menthol, lime or tobacco.
5. Launglata: Launglata is a sweet delicacy that the locals mostly relish during Holi. However, it is available in the sweet shops and street food stalls of Varanasi throughout the year. Launglata has a crispy covering made of all-purpose flour or maida, while the delicious filling is prepared with crumbled mawa or khoya, saffron strands, chopped nuts, sugar and cardamom powder.
6. labalab Rabri Jalebi: Rabri is a sweet dish made with condensed milk and flavoured with sugar, saffron strands, rose water, almonds and pistachios. On the other hand, the desi ghee jalebis are prepared with all-purpose flour, yoghurt, saffron strands, sugar syrup and other ingredients.
7. Malaiyyo: A delicacy in Varanasi, malaiyyo is a melt-in-the-mouth sweet dish available only in winter. It is made of milk foam or froth and the preparation process is quite special. To make malaiyyo, milk is boiled in an iron wok and then kept under the open sky at night. This is done for the dew drops to help initiate the foaming process.
8. Tamatar Chaat: This unique and delicious chaat available at Varanasi’s famous food joints is a favourite among locals and tourists. It is prepared with boiled and mashed potatoes and tomatoes, green chillies, onions and coriander leaves.
9. Choora Matar: Visit Varanasi during the winter season and you will find scores of street food stalls offering this flavourful snack. Prepared with flattened rice, milk, ghee, cashew nuts, fresh peas and spices, choora matar is Varanasi’s version of the popular breakfast item – poha.
10. Chena Dahi Vada: If you are looking to enjoy Varanasi’s famous food items during your next trip to the city, chena dahi vada is a must-try. This unique snack is a variation of the popular dahi vada. Chena vadas are prepared with a mix of mashed potatoes, fresh cottage cheese or chena, grated ginger, cornflour and other ingredients.
11. Baati Chokha: Baati chokha, popularly known as litti chokha, is a tasty snack that you can enjoy at different street food joints and eateries around the city. This Banaras famous food looks like the dal baati of Rajasthan. The round baatis or littis are made with wheat flour dough and stuffed with a flavourful sattu masala.
12. banarasi shahi Aloo Kachori: The eateries in Banaras serve two different types of kachoris – badi and choti kachori. While the regular kachoris, made with a lentil mixture (dal ki pithi), are called badi kachoris, the ones with a stuffing of spicy potato mix are called choti kachoris.
13. traditional varanasi Kachori Sabzi: This appetising breakfast item in Banaras is the first dish you must try in the city. While the crispy kachoris are made with a stuffing of lentils and spices (called dal ki pithi), the lip-smacking and aromatic sabzi is prepared with boiled potatoes, black pepper, cloves, chillies and other ingredients.
