Agra
Fabulously tasty and religiously clean, Dasaprakash whips up consistently great South Indian vegetarian food, including spectacular thalis (₹250 to ₹360), dosas, a rasum (South Indian soup with a tamarind base) of the day and a few token Continental dishes. The ice-cream desserts (₹100 to ₹295) are another speciality. Comfortable booth seating and wood-lattice screens make for intimate dining.
Other Dasprakash outlets in the city are no longer run by the same owners.
