Crystal Restaurant
Rated by many as Amritsar’s classiest restaurant, Crystal boasts all sorts of yummy global favourites, from lasagne to fish curry. Book ahead, especially on weekends. There are two side-by-side ‘Crystals’, apparently due to a family split...we’re equally divided when it comes to judging which is best. Guess you’ll just have to try both!

Yellow Chilli
A stylish chain-restaurant conceived by celebrity chef, Sanjeev Kapoor, locals flock here to tuck into delights like the hariyali machchi (charcoal-grilled, mint- flavoured fish), rogan josh (slow-cooked mutton in yoghurt and fennel gravy) and blackcurrant kulfi (firm-textured ice cream). There’s a good veg buffet (Rs165; lunch only). Dinner reservations wise.

Arshi's Sub-Zero
Sodas, sundaes, shakes and veggie burgers are on the boards in this rainbow-coloured parlour only darkened by the gloomy proprietor. Try before you buy the ice cream - Raj Bhoj is dried fruit and Blind Love is vanilla choc chip.
