Laxmi Betwa Tarang

Orchha


This place, with an air-conditioned dining room, does the best veg food of any of Orchha’s budget restaurants – the thalis (₹130 to ₹350) are particularly good. It also has a rooftop terrace, where you can sit with stupendous views of the Raj Mahal. Beers are off menu but available.
