Damaru Wala

Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh


It just does thalis (all-you-can-eat meals) but they're tasty, homestyle ones, and served up in a bright, clean, purpose-designed space with white-top tables and black chairs.

The restaurant is up a flight of stairs, with a big black, red and white sign in Hindi only.
