Orchha


Breezy, 1st-floor dining on a semi-open-air terrace that affords wonderful views of the Raj Mahal. Serving up pasta, pizza and pancakes – all of which are fairly pedestrian – you're best going with the Indian dishes. They do a few local specialities such as the moderately spicy Bundelkhandi veg curry.

Yes, they can get you a beer.
