Awantika

Uttar Pradesh


Clean and hip, this out-of-place restaurant does a seriously good all-veg menu that runs the gamut from Chinese to Italian to Indian. The special thali (₹240) is a real treat, and it's all set to trendy tunes in a funky lounge atmosphere. It's five minutes west of the Hotel Shane Avadh. Indian dishes are unavailable between 3.30pm and 7pm.

Don't mistake the restaurant for the nearby New Awantika sweet house (run by the same owners), or the unconnected Avantika Restaurant and hotel. It's across the street from Bharat Petroleum.
