Baati Chokha
बाटी चोखा
A rustic vegetarian restaurant in Teliabagh serving unlimited Baati Chokha thalis on leaf plates, making it a popular spot for local cuisine.
Located next to Anand Mandir Cinema in Teliabagh, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. It features village-themed decor, meals served on leaf plates, freshly ground spices, and a handicraft shop. Guests must remove their shoes to enter the upstairs dining area. The signature special thali includes Baati, Chokha, Dal, rice, two types of chutney, and Kheer, most of which are unlimited. Fully vegetarian. It can get very crowded with long wait times and slow service, and some locals criticize the baatis for being too hard and the value for money as average, so it is recommended to avoid peak dining hours. The thali is about 375–400 INR, and items can also be ordered à la carte.
