Bamboo Cafe - Restaurant in Agra, Dhandhupura - Agra, India

Delicious Indian food. I only had Indian vegetarian dishes, tea and lasi, but they have quite a few meat choices + Western dishes. Definitely try the desert - Gulab Jamun. Don't expect Western standards, but I would highly recommend. Ran by husband and wife, she cooks everything on the spot and always asks if you want it 'Indian spicy' which I found quite sweet. There's a sign that suggests they run free guided tours - can pay however much you consider fair. However, I haven't been so don't know how/ when they take place. Cafe is in walking distance from Taj Mahal.

Very nice place with great service . It's restaurant in home , you can watch your food being cooked by house owners. Ordered veg fried rice - taste ok , quantity seem less for 150 Indian breakfast - 2 paratha and tea, For 150. Cost effective and authentic just taste ok. Veg soup - good just with less veggies for 100. You can try it if nearby for hospitality and seeing how Indian make food at home.

Highly recommend eating at Bamboo Cafe. We went there with our 16 month old son and not only was the food the most delicious and authentic we had, also our son was allowed to move freely. Kitchen was clean and family Naim just incredibly nice. Thank you for the very nice evening!

This cafe shares the kitchen with the owner's house, so you know that what you are eating is some tasty, freshly made, grandma-style meal. It was the first time i've seen a open kitchen in India, and we were impressed! No AC room, but nice breeze on the second floor.

This is one of the best and unique places ever built in India, the concept is so real and fresh, the family is extremely welcoming and food is simply another level, they literally serve you in their own home and from their own kitchen, it's open and you can watch the lady of the house preparing mouth watering meals. Also, if you are looking real Indian home experience and have interesting conversations and wait for the food, then this place is for you, because in this home kitchen time stops

Very cute place! Very very nice people, feels like home, they prepare the food fresh and with a lot of love! I can only recommend this place highly! Thank you for having us and for your great food and company

I've never been to a more homely place. The kind owners, husband and wife, are the ones who run the restaurant. Their welcoming presence and homely treatment is all you need for a feeling of home while away from it. The food is customised as per your needs, they can make it as you demand. Overall the food is fresh made in a kitchen next to you, just like home. Everything is freshly prepared. My review may seem biased at this point, but I'll bear that tag, such is the experience, rather memorable experience of the place. Go check it out for yourself!

The ONLY(and I mean absolute only) reason it's a 4 is because this is a family restaurant they operate literally inside their family kitchen, and the mother does all the cooking. So, the food takes a while to be made because there is literally one person. However, EVERYTHING else is amazing. Because it is a home restaurant, they are able to customize every last thing from spiciness levels, to adding extra spices (I recommend cinnamon or a bit of cardamom in the rice pudding ), and so much more. The son, Daniyal, also does some amazing tours we got to do with him, so ask him about that if you are interested! We went twice in 2 days and it was sooooo good! The first night, we got lassi, chai, chicken biriyani, vegetarian kofta, naan, and papaya custard. The kofta was soooo yummy! The biriyani is a huge portion, so come hungry. The second night, we got half tandoori chicken, plain rice, 2 orders of naan, Shahi paneer (oh my word- amazing), honey pancake (thin like a crepe), and rice pudding. Everything you can tell has soooooo much love going into it. The family is all so kind. I recommend eating at this place if you only have a night or two in Agra. (Reviewer from USA)
