Gautam
Situated opposite the Burmese Vihara is this basic semi-tent affair with a sit-out garden. It offers a standard travellers menu and the banana pancakes are the best in town.

Tibetan Om Cafe
Lies within the western courtyard of Namgyal Monastery. It’s run by friendly Tibetans who know all about traveller hunger for momos (dumplings), pancakes, brown bread, pies and cakes. The food is cheap and superb, and you can loiter for as long as you like. For just Rs. 5 you can refill your water bottle with ‘well-boiled filter water’. A small shop here sells Tibetan items and clothing.

Swagat Restaurant
This is a really good choice with an innovative menu of veg and non-veg dishes, such as mutton badam pasanda (mutton stuffed with almonds and cooked in an almond gravy), Portuguese-style fish and a creamy malai-kofta (fried cottage-cheese dumplings served in a spicy tomato and onion based gravy).

Harri Om Cafe
At the northern end of the Kalachakra Maidan, this is the only place in Bodhgaya for real coffee. It also does good pasta and has Korean items on the menu, and while you wait you can get a body work-over in the massage centre.

Mohammad’s Restaurant
A small tent restaurant behind the well-lit Fujia Green. OK, it’s not a flash joint, but it has some of the town’s best Indian food and those in the know flock to it. Mohammad also runs one of the temporary tent restaurants.

Siam Thai
This is a new restaurant serving some authentic Thai dishes. The walls are decorated with all the menu items you might consider, while an inscrutable and plump Buddha observes everything. Service is friendly and helpful.
