Blue Lassi Shop
ब्लू लस्सी
A historic clay-cup lassi shop deep in Kachaudi Gali, serving hand-churned yogurt topped with fruits and rabri, and known as the most famous drink stall in the Old City.
Located in a narrow alley off Kachaudi Gali leading to Manikarnika Ghat, close to Gate No. 4 of Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The shop claims to have no branches, so watch out for copycats nearby. Lassis are hand-churned on-site and served in clay cups (kulhads). Dozens of varieties are available, including fruit flavors topped with rabri (thick cream). Seating is extremely limited, only cash is accepted, and bhang lassi is not served. Funeral processions frequently pass through the alley, and queues are common in the afternoon, while mornings are relatively quiet. Reviews are polarized, with some calling it excellent and others finding it overrated. Each cup costs around 80–150 INR.
Opening hours
