Haridwar Restaurants

The restaurant was very neat and clean and the food was very good.

Cleanliness : 4.5 / 5
Food quality : 4.5/5

I loved the breakfast, the food was not spicy yet very delicious. I love Allo Parathas and i really enjoyed them.

The best part is its located just near to HAR-KI-Pouri ghat.

Favorite Dish: Allo ke parathe for the breakfast

This restaurant is on european standard as for cleanliness, the waiter was in addition very attentive -seeing that we came wet and cold (from Rajaji) he brought an electro-heater which was really very nice.
The meals were above standard, the only small imperfection was the long time needed for preparation.

I made a point to eat at Big Ben based on rave reviews from a couple of people I met and a good write-up in Lonely Planet, so my expectations were high. After eating there, my opinion is “m’eh.”

The food was okay – nothing I’d rave about. There’s an extensive menu, so maybe Paneer Sagwala just isn’t a specialty. It had a nice enough flavor, but seemed bland; the naan tasted fine, but it wasn’t hot.

Okay, the concoct-it-yourself fresh lime soda was worth the raves. Fun and delicious!

The wait staff were nice, if a little slow to respond. They let me sit and drink tea for a long time after I’d paid, and didn’t appear to care if I left, even though the place was eventually pretty full. There’s nothing special about the restaurant itself – it reminded me of an old highway diner. If you’re not staying in that area it’s enough out of the way that I wouldn’t bother. There are probably places as good or better closer to the center.
