Shivani Restaurant
शिवानी रेस्टोरेंट
The most frequently recommended vegetarian eatery on Mandu's main road, famous for its ghee-soaked dal bafla.
Located on Mandu's main road near the Jama Masjid, this is the restaurant most often mentioned by guidebooks and guests, and it has attached lodging. The signature is traditional Malwa dal bafla: baked dough balls soaked in ghee, served with hot lentil soup and yogurt curry, in wheat and corn versions. Dal paniya and semolina sweet balls are also on the menu. The setting is canteen-style, and reviews are mixed. Some guests mention hygiene issues and slow service, and the food is rich and oily. Prices are about Rs 150-400 per person, and landmarks such as the Jama Masjid are within walking distance.
