Shankar Mithai Wala
शंकर मिठाई वाला
A famous shop by Holi Gate: sweets downstairs, and upstairs kachoris with curry, chole bhature and thickened milk dessert.
Located on Holi Gate Road in Mathura, opposite the Aggarwal Guesthouse, this is one of the most lively old-established spots in the old town. The ground floor sells Braj sweets such as rabri and milk balls. The upstairs restaurant serves breakfast from early morning: kachoris with pumpkin and potato curry, fried bread and chole bhature, and the dishes carry a strong asafoetida aroma. Food arrives quickly and prices are affordable, about Rs 100-200 per person. It is a short walk from Holi Gate to Krishna's birthplace or Vishram Ghat.
