Baati Chokha Restaurant

Baati Chokha Restaurant

Located on Puran Das Road it has a delightfully traditional setting. There is a chula (stove) at the entrance along with a sil batta (grinding stone) and a few other traditional cooking implements set in a rural ambience. Inside, there are charpoys on which you can sit cross-legged and eat, and take home an authentic experience. You can even opt for a modern table setting.

The food is served in huge brass plates and katoris.  The most popular dishes here are the traditional ones from eastern UP and Bihar – litti chokha and sattu parathas. Littis are hard, oven-baked channa dal cakes eaten with piping hot dal and chokha (traditionally made smoked eggplant) with an array of pickles. Batti Choka is also famous for its thali, in which you get a sampling of all their dishes for just rs150 per head. It’s worth every paisa and go there on an empty stomach, you won’t regret it.
