Hindu temple
Thakur Shri Banke Bihari Ji Temple in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh, is a vibrant Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. Established in 1864 by Swami Haridas, it is a revered place of worship for Krishna devotees. The temple is known for its mischievous resident monkeys and houses a striking devotional image of Krishna. Visitors are advised to be cautious during peak times like Janmashtami due to large crowds.
An Unforgettable Divine Experience at Banke Bihari Mandir Visiting Banke Bihari Mandir in Vrindavan was one of the most spiritually enriching and memorable experiences of my life. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna in his most endearing and playful form—Banke Bihari, who stands in the Tribhanga posture with unmatched charm, grace, and divine beauty. The moment you step into the temple, the energy is overwhelming and deeply moving. Devotees chant with pure emotion, and the priests perform the darshan in a very unique style—the curtains are drawn every few seconds, as it is believed that Lord Krishna’s gaze is so powerful, it can mesmerize and captivate the soul completely. This makes the darshan feel even more personal, special, and intense. The narrow lanes leading to the temple are bustling with vibrant life—shops selling sweets, prasad, flower garlands, toys, and devotional souvenirs. Inside, the temple architecture is traditional, beautifully preserved, and radiates timeless charm. It does get very crowded, especially during Janmashtami, Holi, and weekends, so early morning visits or off-season days are ideal for a peaceful experience. Overall, it’s not just a temple—it’s a sacred journey filled with devotion, emotion, music, colors, and divine love. If you are anywhere near Vrindavan, Banke Bihari Mandir is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking blessings, spiritual connection, or simply peace of heart.

The idol of Shree Krishna radiates pure energy and devotion, creating a sense of peace and connection. The atmosphere is filled with chants, devotion, and divine vibrations. A sacred place where one can truly feel the presence of Lord Krishna. Radhe Radhe! Jai Shree Banke Bihari!

My visit to Mathura and Vrindavan was an enchanting spiritual experience that captivated both my senses and my soul. The journey began in Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, where I explored the Krishna Janmabhoomi complex and admired its serene Garbha Griha shrine and historical marble pavilions . The ghats along the Yamuna River, especially Vishram Ghat, offered a tranquil ambiance at sunset, with rituals and floating diyas creating a magical aura . Afterward, I traveled the short distance to Vrindavan, a town suffused with devotional energy. Wandering through its narrow lanes adorned with colorful murals, I felt the divine presence everywhere . The Banke Bihari Temple was a highlight – the rhythmic bell chants, vibrant interior, and devotional fervor enveloped me entirely. The ISKCON Temple offered a different kind of peace, its white marble architecture and melodic chants presenting a calm refuge for meditative practice . I also visited Prem Mandir, dubbed the “Temple of Love.” In the evening, it glowed with thousands of lights and a mesmerizing fountain show; the intricate marble carvings displayed scenes from Krishna’s life and left me deeply moved . A stop at Nidhivan awakened a sense of mysticism—it felt like stepping into a magical forest laden with folklore . For a taste of local flavor, the famous Mathura pedas, hearty kachori-sabzi, and creamy lassi were divine and refreshing after long days of temple-hopping . “The best lassi I've ever tasted was from Mathura and Vrindavan” and praised the region’s “magical” milk quality . The highlights of my two-day itinerary included sunrise and evening aarti ceremonies, soulful boat rides on the Yamuna, and immersive cultural interactions with local artisans. Visiting between October and March provided cool, pleasant weather and free-flowing outdoor experiences . Whether you're seeking spiritual insight, historical richness, or cultural immersion, Mathura–Vrindavan delivers all with warmth and grace.

The temple is very much worth a visit if you are in Vrindavan and want a spiritual, devotional experience. The divine aura and the special idol of Banke Bihari Ji are frequently highlighted. But be prepared for crowds and plan accordingly to make the most of your visit.
Sourabh C — Google review
Banke Bihari Temple was established by Swami Haridas Ji, the saint who revealed the divine form of Banke Bihari to his devotees. The murti we see today is the same enchanting form he manifested. The darshan here is truly unique — you get to see Thakurji’s beautiful eyes and divine presence in a very special way. Every 2 to 5 minutes, the Goswamis gently draw the parda (curtain), which is part of Thakurji’s sweet leela, adding to the charm and devotion of the experience. The temple does get very crowded, and the management can be improved, but the divine darshan makes the visit completely worth it.

🌸 One of the most famous and divine temples in Vrindavan, dedicated to Shri Banke Bihari Ji. The atmosphere is full of devotion, bhajans, and positive energy. Darshan of Banke Bihari Ji is truly mesmerizing, and the temple is always filled with devotees. A must-visit spiritual experience in Vrindavan. 🙏✨

You can see the crowd in the picture. There is no crowd management by the temple, it's very difficult for elderly people to visit the temple. The temple & Bhagwanji are well decorated but the surrounding narrow pathway is very dirty. I stood in the queue at 4:15 pm on a Saturday & came out of the temple after an hour. Just 2 seconds of darshan from a good distance was enough for me tonfeel the aura of Bhagwanji. Since I couldn't fight the crowd and push my way ahead. I wish the cro d management gets better with time. Banke bihari ji ki jai 🙏🏻

Nidhivan, also known as Seva Kunj, is a revered and mystical garden in Vrindavan, India. It is believed to be the divine abode of Lord Krishna where he performs his celestial dance each night with the Gopis, who are said to come to life as twisting trees. This sacred grove exudes an aura of enchantment and spirituality, drawing visitors seeking a unique and spiritual experience.
Nice calm place. Took a tour guide of Rs 100 who showed it fully by telling us about its history and Stories. A must visit place. I recommend to take tour guide to know it's interesting stories.

A deeply spiritual place with a magical aura—believed to be where Lord Krishna performs Raas Leela every night. Photography is restricted inside, which might disappoint some visitors. Can get crowded during festivals, making it difficult to fully absorb the tranquility. A must-visit for devotees and spiritual seekers—truly a unique and enchanting experience! ✨🕉️

A truly divine and mysterious place! Nidhivan in Mathura is one of the most spiritual and peaceful spots I’ve ever visited. Locals believe Lord Krishna still performs Ras Leela here at night, and the energy of that faith can truly be felt. The temple area is well maintained, and the guides share fascinating stories about its history and mysteries
Aman S — Google review
A Distressing Experience at Nidhivan Vrindavan I recently visited Nidhivan Vrindavan, a sacred place associated with Lord Krishna, and was deeply disappointed by the behavior of the priests. While the place itself is serene and holds immense spiritual significance, the priests' relentless pursuit of money has tarnished the experience. The priests at Nidhivan are more interested in extracting money from devotees than providing a meaningful spiritual experience. They shout loudly through microphones, asking for donations and creating a chaotic atmosphere that's far from the tranquility one expects at a sacred site. It's as if they're making a mockery of the faith and devotion that people bring to this place. Their aggressive approach to seeking money is not only distasteful but also detracts from the spiritual essence of Nidhivan. It's heartbreaking to see the priests prioritize financial gain over the spiritual well-being of the devotees. The place, which is otherwise steeped in the history and love of Lord Krishna, feels like a commercialized hub focused on accumulating wealth. I want to emphasize that Nidhivan itself is a beautiful and sacred place, filled with the love and energy of Lord Krishna. However, the priests' behavior has unfortunately overshadowed its spiritual significance. If you're planning to visit, be prepared for the persistent requests for money, and try to focus on the spiritual connection you can make with the place. Rating: 2/5 stars (primarily due to the priests' behavior) I hope the management or authorities take notice of this issue and work towards restoring the spiritual sanctity of Nidhivan Vrindavan.

Nidhivan is one of the most mystical and spiritually powerful places in Vrindavan. Known for its deep connection to Lord Krishna and Radha, the silence and devotion here create an unforgettable experience. The twisted, unique shape of the trees adds to the mystery, and the belief that divine Ras Leela takes place here every night is respected strongly by locals and visitors. The spiritual energy is felt instantly upon entering—calm, intense, and filled with centuries of faith. The rule that no one is allowed to stay inside after sunset enhances the sacredness and mystery of this place. Whether you are a devotee or simply a curious traveler, Nidhivan leaves a deep and lasting impression. Visit with respect and an open heart—this is not just a tourist attraction, but a sacred space filled with devotion and ancient stories.

A divine playground: According to Vaishnava beliefs, Nidhivan is considered one of the most sacred spots in Vrindavan, where Krishna, his beloved Radha, and the gopis spent their days and nights. Its name translates to "Forest of Treasures". The Raas Leela legend: The core belief surrounding Nidhivan is that Lord Krishna performs his divine Raas Leela there every night. Visitors are cleared out before sunset, and entry is strictly forbidden after dusk, based on the belief that anyone who witnesses the divine dance will either go blind, deaf, or lose their senses. The enchanted trees: The trees in Nidhivan are an integral part of its mystery. Unlike ordinary trees, they are small, twisted, and grow in pairs. Devotees believe these trees and tulsi plants transform into gopis at night to dance with Krishna, returning to their plant form at dawn.

Nidhivan (Vrindavan) Nidhivan is one of the most mysterious and divine places in Vrindavan. It is believed that every night Lord Krishna and Radha Rani along with the gopis perform the Ras Leela here, and that’s why no one is allowed to stay inside after evening aarti. The place has thousands of unique tulsi plants that look like they are bent and paired together, which locals say represents the gopis. The atmosphere inside feels very calm, spiritual, and a bit mystical. During the day, visitors can walk around, see the small temples inside, and feel the sacred energy. In the evening, when the temple closes, the vibe becomes even more powerful. 👉 If you come to Vrindavan, visiting Nidhivan is a must. It’s not just a site, it’s an experience that makes you feel the divine presence of Radha–Krishna.

Nidhivan Temple in Vrindavan is one of the most mystical and spiritually revered places, believed to be where Lord Krishna performs his divine Raas Leela every night. The temple and its sacred grove hold a unique aura that attracts countless devotees seeking peace and divine connection. However, the overall experience often feels disappointing due to poor atmosphere and management. The priests seem more focused on extracting money from devotees rather than providing a meaningful spiritual experience. They shout through loudspeakers, constantly demanding donations, which creates a noisy and chaotic environment instead of the expected tranquility. You will encounter monkeys around the premises; they’re lively and can be a nuisance, so keep belongings secure. Be cautious of some guides who may try to scam you—insist on fixed rates or use a trusted guide. The temple sees heavy rush during weekends and holidays, making it difficult to move freely or pray in peace. This behavior and crowding often feel like a mockery of the faith and devotion people bring to the site. Despite its deep spiritual and historical importance, better management, discipline, and visitor-awareness measures are needed to preserve the sanctity and calm that Nidhivan truly deserves. 5***** for Temple only.

Radha Madan Mohan Mandir (Vrindavan) Radha Madan Mohan Mandir is one of the oldest and most famous temples in Vrindavan. Situated on a small hill near the banks of the Yamuna, the temple looks majestic from a distance and offers a breathtaking view of Vrindavan and the river. The temple was originally established in the 16th century by Sanatan Goswami Ji, a close associate of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It is dedicated to Lord Krishna in His “Madan Mohan” form, along with the divine presence of Shri Radha Rani. The atmosphere here is peaceful, devotional, and filled with historical significance. Visiting this temple feels like stepping back in time while being embraced by the pure essence of Bhakti. 👉 A must-visit in Vrindavan — not just a temple, but a living symbol of Gaudiya Vaishnav tradition and spiritual heritage.

Peaceful, historic, and soul-stirring Radhe Radhe Madan Mohan Temple in Vrindavan is one of the oldest and most serene temples I’ve visited. Perched on a small hill near the Yamuna, it offers a beautiful view of the river, especially at sunset. The red sandstone structure has a simple yet timeless charm, very different from the newer, more crowded temples in the area. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and devotional. The aartis, especially in the evening, are mesmerizing — the sound of bells, chants, and the fragrance of incense make it a truly spiritual experience. The priests are welcoming, and entry is free. Best times to visit are early morning for Mangala Aarti or evening for Sandhya Aarti. If you visit during Janmashtami or Holi, expect big crowds but also unforgettable celebrations. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, history, and a deeper connection to Vrindavan’s spiritual essence.

The peaceful surroundings, with the beautiful garden and sacred vibes, make it a must-visit for devotees and spiritual seekers alike. The temple remains closed in the evening as it is said that Krishna and Radha still come here at night. The mystery and sanctity attached to the site add a deep spiritual charm. Peacocks and monkeys roam freely around the garden, adding to the natural beauty of the place. Deep spiritual atmosphere. Well-maintained and peaceful. Rich mythological significance. Entry is restricted at night (but this adds to the mystique). Can get crowded during festivals. Highly recommended for those looking to connect with the divine energy of Vrindavan.

Vrindavan is a beautiful place and famous because Lord Krishna spent his childhood here. The place is bestowed with his blessing and there are several holy places which will stun you with its miraculous spiritual presence of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha Rani. Seva Kunj is yet another holy place in Vrindavan that celebrates the unconditional love of the blissful couple Radha-Krishna. Seva Kunj Mandir in Vrindavan is magnificent place showing the divine love of Radha Ji and Kanhaji. Seva Kunj is also known as “Nikunj” Van. This place is close to Lord Krishna’s heart. There is a beautiful idol of Radha Krishna in this temple. There is also a kund here known as Lalita Kund. It is believed that every night Lord Krishna and Radha Rani visit this place. So, this place is closed totally after evening. Although we can see many monkeys during daytime but by evening, they also leave this place. Seva Kunj in Vrindavan is addressed so because it is believed that Lord Krishna served the Radha Rani in this sacred place. Krishna helped her in getting ready for Raas Leela by combing hair and decorating her with ornaments. This can be depicted by the mesmerizing painting on the wall and the shlokas inscribed here from the Hindu Scriptures. Seva Kunj Mandir is decorated every night and all necessary items are placed here for a night. Here in this mandir, devotees aslo see the beautiful paintings of Lord Krishna and Radha doing Raas Leela with the Gopis. Paintings depict the Lord Krishna serving Radha rani with massage to after the pious Raas Leela. Seva Kunj Temple Timings: 08:00 am – 07:30 pm The temple remains closed between 11:00 am to 05:30 pm

I recently stayed at this hotel and was thoroughly disappointed with their services regarding driver accommodation. Here are the issues I faced: No Driver Dormitory: Despite confirming at the time of booking, the hotel failed to provide a dormitory or any basic facility for my driver. Lack of Clarity: The staff was neither clear nor helpful about alternatives, which caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience late at night. Poor Management: This basic hospitality aspect was neglected, and the staff did not seem bothered to rectify the situation. Uncomfortable Stay: The lack of arrangements made it difficult for us to have a peaceful stay, as it’s important for drivers to rest properly for everyone’s safety. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone traveling with a driver, as they do not honor their commitments or care about the well-being of their guests' support staff.

I stayed here with friends for two days. The place is just opposite to the Prem Mandir, so location-wise it is a wonderful choice. The rooms are big and comfortable. They have a sofa-cum bed and could allow an extra member to stay. The room we stayed had a TV, AC, coffee jar, towels, hangers, dental kit and water bottles. The washroom is somewhat small. The water is sometimes cold even when you want hot, so they may have to fix it. The rest all is fine. The food is tasty and room service is good. The staff is friendly too. The best part is the location. Outside the hotel, you have many options for food. The property is located at the main road, so commuting is absolutely not a problem. Temples are a walk away. Prem Mandir is just opposite after you cross the road, so nothing better than that.

⭐ 2/5 — Average Stay, Not Worth the Price I stayed at Hotel Shri Radha Nikunj, Vrindavan for 2 days and honestly, the experience was not good for the price they charge. The location is good, but you have to walk around 250 meters to reach the main road. Service is very poor. I called the reception and housekeeping multiple times to change towels and clean the dustbin for the next day. They didn’t come even after 4–5 hours, and I had to call again and again. Very disappointing. The washroom is extremely small and congested. The balcony has no proper view, only buildings around, and it was dirty. I even attached photos — birds and droppings were there. The only good thing about the hotel is the attached restaurant “Namaste Restaurant.” The food and taste were truly excellent. We loved the meals there.

From the moment we walked in, the ambience of the restaurant left a lasting impression calm lighting, elegant decor, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at ease. Whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special occasion, the setting is perfect. The service is outstanding smooth, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail seems thoughtfully taken care of, and the staff works with quiet efficiency and grace. The food? Absolutely delicious! Every dish is cooked with care and bursting with authentic flavors. The ingredients taste fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and you can feel the love in every bite. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was Dinesh ji, our server. A perfect example of hospitality, Dinesh ji greeted us with a warm smile and treated us like guests in his own home. His knowledge of the menu, patience in explaining every dish, and gentle manner made the meal even more enjoyable. He checked in on us at the right moments and ensured everything was to our liking. It’s rare to find someone who serves with so much heart and we’re truly grateful. This restaurant is a gem made even brighter by people like Dinesh ji. Highly recommended!

The service and hospitality here were outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and care. Vraj guided us thoughtfully through the menu, and every dish felt like homely food prepared and served with love. Truly a heartwarming experience.

Amazing service. Best food ever had. It's a peaceful place everyone should visit to. Humble thanks to the staff for their excellent service. Best for buisness and holiday trip. The greatest andvantage is that it is located just behind the iskcon temple so can visit the temple anytime.🙏

I recently stayed at the MVT Guesthouse in Vrindavan and would like to share a detailed account of my experience. The property has a calm and spiritual ambiance, with several positives that make it a popular choice among pilgrims and tourists. However, there were also a few shortcomings that affected the comfort of the stay. Pros: Clean Rooms and Bathrooms: The hygiene standards were commendable. Both the room and the attached bathroom were neat and well-maintained. Kind and Courteous Staff: The staff was extremely polite, welcoming, and eager to help, which added a warm touch to the stay. Excellent Service: Service was quick and professional. Requests were attended to promptly and efficiently. Beautiful Garden Area: The lush green garden within the premises offered a peaceful spot to sit, reflect, or simply relax. It enhanced the overall vibe of the guesthouse. Areas of Improvement: Non-Functional AC and Fan: Unfortunately, the air conditioner and fan in our room were not working properly. This led to discomfort, especially in the hot Vrindavan weather. Closed Restaurant: The in-house restaurant was closed during our stay. This was inconvenient, as we had to look for food options elsewhere. No Complimentary Breakfast: Breakfast was not included in the booking, which felt unusual for a place of this category. Conclusion: MVT Guesthouse is a serene and clean place with friendly staff and a spiritual environment. While the service and ambiance are admirable, better upkeep of room amenities and ensuring basic facilities like food and climate control would greatly improve the overall guest experience.

We stayed in MVT for four days in first week of August 2025. I was with my elderly parents. Room was spacious and clean. Water and other amenities were good too. Staff was very cordial. Restaurant's food and ambience was great. And the best thing was the very respectful, friendly and polite behaviour of restaurant staff. Hotel is full of greenery. Special emphasis on quitenss is added incentive. Overall 5 out of 5 rating.

I stayed at MVT Guest House during my recent visit to Vrindavan and my experience is fantastic. The rooms are spacious with all modern amenities present. The property itself has a calm and serene environment. It is neat and clean and also well maintained. Special mention to the MVT Restaurant which has excellent food and service. We were wonderfully guided and attended by their staff, Braj, who took utmost care of our needs.

I have stayed at MVT couple of times and I believe I am qualified to review it. Pros: Excellent location, Adjacent to Sri Krsna Balaram temple and Beautiful garden Cons 1. Impolite & terribly rude staff at the reception. Not at all welcoming, would never consider you a guest or devotee. Hardly say 'Hare Krsna". They act if they do charity to visitors by handing over room key. Srila Prabhupad never subscribed such conduct. I am wondering if MVT mgmt, is cognizant about it. The staff has total potency to spoil your devotional mood. 2. If you reach before 1 pm (check in time), they act so adamantly & don't allocate the room despite being available. The guy demanded Rs. 1000 when I asked for an early check-in however they don't write it anywhere. Seems to be money minting thing. 3. Poorly maintained rooms, smelly & full of dampness, unstable furniture, dirty bedsheets. At the same time, priced exorbitantly. Conclusion: You should stay here the sole objective of your visit is to be in Krsna Balaram Temple to attend each aarti. Otherwise, simply avoid it.

Sagar Ratna is a family restaurant located in Country Square, Omaxe Eternity, offering a variety of North Indian, South Indian, and Chinese dishes. Despite being relatively unknown due to its location, it is highly recommended for its delicious and reasonably priced food. The restaurant provides a calm and comfortable dining experience with less crowd compared to other establishments in the area. It's an ideal choice for those seeking authentic South Indian cuisine and a peaceful atmosphere after exploring the temples nearby.
I recently visited this Sagar Ratna restaurant and had a wonderful dining experience that I’m excited to share. The menu offered authentic South Indian flavors that truly impressed me. I tried the buttermilk, which was perfectly spiced and refreshing. The idli chaat was a creative twist on the traditional idli, with excellent texture and flavorful chutneys. The idli fries were an interesting innovation - crispy on the outside while maintaining that soft idli texture within. The rawa dosa was cooked to perfection, crispy and golden with a nice crunch in every bite. To finish, the kesari rawa (sheera) was the perfect sweet ending - rich, aromatic, and not overly sweet. Worth visiting the place and complex has a very nice hotel Country Inn Premiere.

Sagar Ratna is a brand people trust, I went to sec 17 Chandigarh and it was worst experience as they were unable to handle crowd. In Vrindavan this restaurent was not capable of handling more than 15 people. Their Air Conditioning was a complete disaster, waiters were untrained or rookies and didn't know what they were doing. They forgot what order they took. I think Sagar Ratna should rethink and do something about their chain or it is at the brink of falling apart! Also I doubt the quality of the food they served us dahi vada which was stale. I asked for Manager and the guy told me that he is waiting downstairs and lied to us. No one ever took any pain to resolve any queries. All other customers also lost it as their orders were super delayed. They should have the courage to refuse the customers instead of serving them bad food! Please never go to Sagar Ratna.

I’ve eaten at several Sagar Ratna outlets before and have always appreciated their quality, but the Vrindavan outlet was a disaster. They served us stale buttermilk, which we immediately sent back, but the staff outright denied that there was anything wrong with it. The orange chutney tasted off, and the green chutney had a strong preservative smell. The staff was completely untrained – they couldn’t get our order right even after we repeated it four times, and they spilled sambar all over the table while serving. We were charged ₹1500 for food that tasted worse than what you’d get at a roadside stall. Highly disappointing.!

A special thanks to Mr. Mithun Chakraborty for his warm hospitality and excellent service. He really made the experience even better with his courteous and professional approach.

11 FLOWERS Rooftop Café is a popular dining spot in Mathura known for its rooftop setting, offering stunning city views. The restaurant serves a variety of vegetarian dishes including North Indian, South Indian, Italian, and Chinese cuisine. Guests can enjoy the North Indian Thali featuring dal, rice, sabji, and roti.

We were searching for a good place for lunch in Vrindavan. We were on a one day trip to Vrindavan from Delhi.Someone suggested this place. It was a good choice. The food was wonderful. We had vegetarian fare, Andhra biriyani and Hakka noodles. It is surprising how you can make such tasty food without garlic and Onions.The food was awesome and just blew our minds away. Very clean restaurant .Usable washrooms unlike what you get in most places in UP. ( UP has changed and become neater compared to some 10 years back).Very courteous staff.Not crowded. We had lunch at 1 pm. The restaurant is at roof top, up to 3rd floor you can go by lift, after that 1 floor by climbing stairs. Better to park your car in one of the car parks opposite to Prem Mandir or opposite to Bikanerwala.Then take an electric Auto to the location. Full five stars for the unexpected luxury and taste in Vrindavan, UP. It seems most of the diary products are from their own farm. Alcohol is served. Westerners / NRIs will be comfortable here. Food is reasonably priced. AC section is there but we sat in open area.

The environment here is absolutely beautiful – peaceful vibes with lovely lighting. The staff were super friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding. We tried a variety of starters and main courses, and every dish was delicious. To top it off, they even surprised us with free ice cream! 🍨 Overall, I’d rate this place a solid 10/10. In my opinion, it’s the best restaurant in Vrindavan and definitely worth a visit if you’re here. Highly recommended!

Me and my buddies had just landed in India and were visiting Vrindavan after a long time. Since it had been years, we were a bit worried about getting “Delhi belly” and wanted to find a place that served clean, hygienic food. That’s when we found 11 Flowers — and what a gem it turned out to be! 🙌 The food here is not only super hygienic but also incredibly tasty. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and comforting. We loved it so much that we ended up eating here throughout our stay! Huge thanks to the team at 11 Flowers for such wonderful food and hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vrindavan and looking for a safe, clean, and delicious dining spot! 🌿

I came here for the food but left disappointed. I visited based on the reviews, which were quite good, but honestly, I didn’t enjoy the food. Here’s what I ordered: • Penne pasta with mixed sauce – 9/10 • Veg noodles – 6/10 (found an insect on the plate) • Burger – 7/10 (too saucy) • Tea – 0/10 (not at all recommended) • Fresh lime soda – 2/10 Overall, the food was underwhelming. The ambience was cosy, but the service was awful.
