Manohar

Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh


Bright, clean, canteen-style Manohar does a brisk business in South Indian breakfasts, thalis, snacks, shakes and polished versions of many Indian street-food favourites. Also has an impressive range of sweets at a side counter, including the house special, mawa fruit cake, which is actually a milk-based sweet (₹540 per kilogram).
