Originally founded in Pakistan's Punjab province, this 100-year-old eatery relocated to Amritsar after Partition. Since then it has been serving up delicious paratha thalis and silver-leaf-topped firni (ground rice pudding; ₹20) in small clay bowls, as well as arguably the best lassi in town (₹60) from this hard-to-find old-city location. Just keep asking the way; everyone knows it.
