Restaurants in Khajuraho

  1. A

    Raja’s Café

    The central location is great, as is the restaurant design, with a delightful wrought-iron spiral staircase linking a shaded courtyard with a temple-view terrace. But it’s the food that steals the show. The Indian dishes are superb – the paneer kofta (unfermented cheese and vegetable balls) and chicken kababi (barbecued chicken pieces marinated in yoghurt), in particular – and not too expensive, and there’s good-quality Italian and Chinese too.

    Bella Italia

    A cheaper version of Mediterraneo, this rooftop restaurant overlooks Gole Market and sits beside a couple of huge trees which every day from around 6pm stage remarkable parrot-squawking contests.

  3. C

    Blue Sky Restaurant

    A rickety wooden platform, three storeys up, leads out to the most unusual place to eat in the whole of Khajuraho – a one-table tree house with an unrivalled view of the western temples. The view from the ordinary, terraced balcony is good too, while the menu is the usual Indian and Chinese, plus Western breakfasts. The grumpy service is perhaps understandable. Would you like to serve food to customers in a tree?

    Mediterraneo

    Food served on a lovely terrace overlooking the street includes chicken, salads and organic whole-wheat pasta, but it’s all about the pizza here, baked in the wood-fired oven. There’s also beer (Rs. 130) and Maharastran wine (bottle Rs. 750).

  5. Paradise Restaurant

    Nothing flash about this place with plastic chairs, but the food’s good – the mulai kofta (mashed potato balls with onion, spices and curry sauce) particularly so – and it serves booze (beer Rs. 130, cocktails from Rs. 95).

  6. Madras Coffee House

    Good, honest South Indian fare – dosa, idli (spongy round fermented rice cakes), uttapam (thick savoury rice pancakes), thali – as well as coffee and chai, served in a simple, slimline cafe-restaurant.

    Ganesh Restaurant

    Run by friendly staff, this no-nonsense restaurant – minimal decor, plastic chairs – serves good-quality Indian and Chinese, with vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as the usual curd and banana–based breakfasts.
