Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dish spicy?
Banarasi cuisine can be spicy, but you can usually ask for a milder version. The local Kachori Sabzi is famous for its black pepper-heavy spice profile.
Where can I find the best version of this?
Old city lanes near Godowlia, Thatheri Bazar, and Kachori Gali are famous for authentic street food that has been served for generations.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Many dishes are vegetarian, but may contain dairy (ghee, milk, curd). If you're looking for a refreshing drink, try a Banarasi Lassi, but note it is dairy-based.
What is the price range?

Is street food safe for tourists?
While delicious, tourists should choose busy stalls with high turnover, drink bottled water, and avoid raw salads or unpeeled fruits from the street.
