Badkul Restaurant
बड़कुल रेस्टोरेंट
Run by the family said to have created khoya jalebi, opposite the bus station; a local specialty you shouldn't miss.
Jabalpur's khoya jalebi is said to have been invented in 1889 by Harprasad Badkul. It uses khoya (reduced milk solids) in the batter, which gives it a darker color and a softer texture than ordinary jalebi. The family's original shop is in the old city at Kamania Gate. This restaurant is on ITI Road at Deendayal Chowk, directly opposite the long-distance bus station, so it is easier to reach and park. Besides khoya jalebi, it sells desserts such as ghee-fried milk balls and simple vegetarian meals, so it's a convenient stop for souvenirs before or after a bus trip. It is open about 8:00–23:00 and the prices are reasonable.
