Loved by yatris
★★★★★
One of the best places to eat in Katra. The interiors are pleasant and give a warm feeling. Most importantly the satvik food is very good, specially the veg biryani and chaap.

We had dal tadka, aloo jeera and pineapple raita. All the items were fresh and very tasty. The masala chaach was very refreshing, and the staff were very polite.
