Having heard so much of the incident on 1919 when the British indiscriminately fired on and killed and wounded many Indians, visiting Jallianwala Bagh was a deeply moving and emotional experience for us. The moment you walk in, as you have heard a lot of on the event, you can feel the weight of history all around you.

Government has done some renovation also. A good step. The place brings in a strong sense of patriotism and gratitude. It is located at a walking distance near the revered Golden Temple, and a must see of any trip to Amritsar, offering a stark reminder of India's struggle for independence. A must visit historical monument for all Indians. There are a lot of informative displays and a garden area for reflection. The place was very crowded as we went on a weekend.

Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar is not just a tourist destination — it’s a sacred ground of history and sacrifice that every Indian carries in their heart. I had always wanted to visit this place, and being here was a deeply emotional and humbling experience. Having read and heard about the tragic incident of 1919, when innocent Indians were mercilessly fired upon by British troops, stepping inside the Bagh fills you with a powerful sense of grief and respect. You can almost feel the weight of history in the air. The preserved bullet marks on the walls and the Martyrs’ Well stand as silent yet powerful reminders of the immense courage and suffering of those who laid down their lives for our freedom. The recent renovations by the government have enhanced the site while maintaining its historical essence — a thoughtful step indeed. Located just a short walk from the Golden Temple, this memorial is an essential part of any visit to Amritsar. The informative displays, peaceful garden areas, and solemn atmosphere make it a place for reflection and gratitude. It was quite crowded when we visited over the weekend, but that only shows how strongly this place continues to touch the hearts of people. A must-visit historical monument for every Indian — one that rekindles patriotism, pride, and deep respect for our nation’s freedom fighters. 🇮🇳❤️

My visit to Jallianwala Bagh was one of the most emotional and meaningful experiences I’ve had while travelling. The moment you enter, the atmosphere itself feels heavy with history. This is not just a tourist spot—it’s a place that carries the pain, sacrifice, and bravery of countless innocent people who lost their lives on 13 April 1919. Walking through the narrow entrance, you immediately understand how trapped people must have felt during the tragic massacre. The preservation of the site is commendable. The bullet marks on the walls, the Martyrs’ Well, and the museum galleries are maintained with respect and detail. Each display, photograph, and written description helps you understand the magnitude of what happened here. The museum section is especially powerful, offering well-curated visuals, documents, and audio clips that make history come alive. The gardens and pathways are clean, the lighting is good, and the entire place is organized to handle heavy crowds. Despite being a popular tourist place, there’s a sense of silence and reflection everywhere. Security checks are smooth, and the staff is helpful in guiding visitors. In my opinion, Jallianwala Bagh is a must-visit landmark for every Indian. It’s not only a place to see but a place to feel. You leave with a deeper understanding of our freedom struggle and immense respect for the martyrs who sacrificed everything. Highly recommended for students, families, and anyone visiting Amritsar.

Jallianwala Bagh is one of the most historic places in India, carrying the painful memory of the tragic massacre of 1919. Visiting this site is both an emotional and educational experience, as it reminds us of the sacrifices made during the freedom struggle. The preserved walls with bullet marks and the memorial serve as powerful symbols of the disaster that should never be forgotten. The site is maintained well and provides proper historical explanations through displays and plaques, making it easier for visitors to understand the events that unfolded here. One of the best things about Jallianwala Bagh is that there is no entry fee, so anyone can walk in and pay their respects. It is located very close to the Golden Temple, which makes it convenient to cover both in the same trip. The garden closes at 5 p.m., so visiting early is recommended not only to avoid the harsh sun but also to have ample time to explore peacefully. Be cautious, though, as there are occasional pickpocketing incidents reported around the area, and police presence is limited. On the brighter side, the place is surrounded by plenty of restaurants. Entry and exit are through different gates, ensuring smooth movement of visitors.

Fortress
Gobindgarh Fort, a historic fortress dating back to the 17th century, is a significant part of Amritsar's heritage. Spanning across 43 acres, this fort offers visitors an immersive experience through infotainment shows such as light and sound displays, a museum showcasing its history, and exhibitions. The fort also hosts cultural performances including bhangra and gatka shows.
Visiting Gobindgarh Fort was an incredible experience — a fascinating blend of history, heritage, and modern technology. The 7D show was absolutely thrilling, bringing to life the glorious era of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in a way that leaves you spellbound. The museum, live performances, and cultural exhibits beautifully showcase the rich legacy of Punjab — from its bravery and tradition to its music and art. Every corner of the fort tells a story, making it an experience you’ll never forget. A perfect destination for those who want to feel connected to Punjab’s pride, culture, and spirit — all in one place. Truly, Gobindgarh Fort is where the past meets the present in the most inspiring way! 🇮🇳❤️
Yaduveer S — Google review
To be honest I was quite disappointed with the whole experience. The ticket prices are little high for what they offer. The Bhangra troupe was excellent. Apart from that, everything else was sub par I would say. Especially the hyped 7DX show. I have seen way more immersive and better shows in theme parks. Overall I would say, if you have the time and money to spend and really really want to explore something new, then only visit the place.

KAMAL A — Google review
A fort of historical significance, but suffers low maintenance and inadequate patronage. There is a Pagdi museum, good Bhangra performance and a 7D movie show on Maharaja Ranjit Singh which would be liked by the Children (different going that the glitches in movie visuals have gotten fixed by now). Tickets cost about 350 per adult and it is recommended to visit in the evening. A battery cart (chargeable) takes visitors from the ticket counter to fort location, which is about a 500m walk otherwise. Though there are eateries, I could not venture to try them.

Durgiana Mandir, also known as the Lakshmi Narayan Temple or Sitla Mandir, is a prominent Hindu temple located in Amritsar, Punjab, India. While it is a significant pilgrimage site for Hindus, its architecture is famously reminiscent of the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), the holiest Sikh shrine also in Amritsar. History and Significance Ancient Origins: The site of the Durgiana Temple is believed to have a history dating back to the 16th century. According to local legend, it is a sacred ground visited by Lord Rama during the Ashwamedha Yagya, and the place where his sons, Luv and Kush, tied his horse. King Ishvaku, a descendant of the Sun God, is also said to have performed rituals here. Modern Reconstruction: The temple as it stands today was rebuilt in 1921 under the guidance of Guru Harsai Mal Kapoor. Its foundation stone was laid by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya in 1924. The reconstruction was undertaken to create a prominent Hindu place of worship with an architectural style that mirrored the city's iconic Golden Temple. Deities: The temple is primarily dedicated to Goddess Durga, but it also has shrines for other deities, including Lakshmi and Vishnu. The complex is also home to other temples, such as the Bada Hanuman Mandir and a 700-year-old Shitla Mata temple. Architecture The most striking feature of the Durgiana Mandir is its architectural resemblance to the Golden Temple. Location: Like the Golden Temple, it is built in the middle of a sacred lake, or sarovar. A marble bridge connects the main temple to the mainland. Design: The temple's domes and canopies are similar to those of the Golden Temple. The central dome is gilded, and the temple features extensive use of marble Exquisite Details: The temple is known for its grand entrance, the Darshni Deori, which has a massive silver door that is 12x12 feet. The doors are intricately designed with carvings of Hindu deities. The temple also has a rich collection of Hindu scriptures. Visiting Information Timings: The temple is generally open to visitors from early morning to late evening, typically from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It's best to check the official website for specific Aarti timings, which may vary. Attire and Etiquette: Visitors are expected to dress modestly, covering their shoulders and knees. As with most places of worship in India, you are required to remove your footwear before entering the temple premises. Festivals: Major Hindu festivals like Dussehra, Janmashtami, Rama Navami, and Diwali are celebrated with great devotion at the temple. Location: The Durgiana Temple is conveniently located near the Amritsar railway station and is easily accessible from other parts of the city.

This partition museum is about how the actual partition happened between India and Pakistan who fought together for independence but demanded different countries for different religions The Partition Museum is a public museum located in the town hall of Amritsar, Punjab, India.[1] The museum aims to become the central repository of stories, materials, and documents related to the post-partition riots that followed the division of British India into two independent dominions: India and Pakistan. The museum also focuses on the history of the “anti-colonial movement, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the Komagata Maru incident, the All India Muslim League and the Indian National Congress, and the journey of resilience and recuperation for women”.The building wherein the museum is located in Amritsar was also “once the British headquarters and a jail”. The museum was inaugurated on 25 August 2017. Punjab In 1947, British India was divided into India and Pakistan. The partition lines, drawn on a map by the British lawyer Cyril Radcliffe, divided the province of Punjab and Bengal into two parts on the basis of religion. As a result, millions of people found themselves on the wrong side of the border overnight. According to various estimates, more than 800,000 Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were killed in the riots that followed the partition between August 1947 to January 1948. Additionally, more than 1,400,000 people became refugees.

The Partition Museum, located in Amritsar, Punjab, is a unique and deeply moving institution dedicated to the memory of the 1947 Partition of India. It's the first of its kind in the world, serving as a powerful memorial and a central repository for the stories, artifacts, and documents from that tumultuous period. A "People's Museum" The museum's core mission is to tell the human stories of the Partition. Instead of focusing solely on political events, it highlights the experiences of the millions of people who were displaced, lost their homes, and endured immense suffering. The museum's collection is built largely on oral histories and personal artifacts donated by survivors and their families—things like clothes, utensils, and letters that people carried with them as they fled their homes. Location and Exhibits The museum is housed in the historic Town Hall building in Amritsar, a fitting location given the city's close proximity to the India-Pakistan border and its central role in the events of 1947. The exhibits are arranged chronologically, taking visitors through the events that led up to the Partition, the mass migration and violence that followed, and the subsequent efforts of rehabilitation and resettlement. Through photographs, videos, audio recordings, and personal belongings, the museum creates a powerful and often heartbreaking narrative. Why It's Important The Partition was one of the largest mass migrations in human history, with millions of people displaced and an estimated one to two million killed. For decades, there was no dedicated memorial or museum to commemorate this event. The Partition Museum fills this void, ensuring that the stories of the survivors and the legacy of this historical event are not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of the human cost of political decisions and the resilience of those who rebuilt their lives after such a profound upheaval.

Very beautiful and well managed. They provide audiotours so you don’t have to worry if you know about history or not. It gives goosebumps while going through and getting to know things. 1-1.30 hrs is enough. No photography allowed inside. Ticlets are proced at Rs. 10. The theme is; as the name suggests- partition, what led to the partition and the aftermath! Do visit, it’s near Golden Temple Complex only. Closed on Monday.

It's located near various famous localities such as Near Railway Station, Kashmir Avenue, and Bharat Nagar. There are several accommodation options nearby including Hotel Ivory Grand, Mehra Inn, and Hyatt Amritsar.
Situation around lush green park, great place to go for a walk. Clean facility, well lit and spacious. ₹10 entry and you got to remove footwear. Shows the life of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh through paintings and models.

The entry fees is ₹10 only when you enter the museum hall, you will see a couple of paintings and mini architecture depicting the stories of Maharana Maharaja Ranjit Singh. When you go to the first floor, there is a proper Panna Roma view of the bar. The first floor panorama room is not ventilated as well as there is no air conditioner which makes it very hot during summers and humid during rainy season. I would not recommend anyone to stay there for more than 10 minutes.

A cute little museum in the middle of the city dedicated to the great king Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Entry fee is just ₹10 and you can see all the exhibits in about 30 minutes. The well maintained lawns are a nice place for a family picnic. One weird thing is you are required to take off your shoes before entering the building. I honestly didn’t understand the need for that rule.

This came along my visit to Amritsar. Mind blown by the gurudwara visit the other day I decided to visit other places in the city. Out of the very few places to visit in this city I came across Maharaja Ranjit Singhs Panorama. It's a small place , museum alike well maintained. They charged us rs 10 ticket to get in and we saw the whole history of Raja's life starting from his birth, to his wars and strategic conquers , marriage and eventual death before sitting on the golden thrown. It was a great places, sculptured really well along with noise of horses and war alike setup. Reminded me of how war movies are shot.

Punjabi restaurant
Kesar Da Dhaba is a long-standing eatery located near the iconic Golden Temple in Amritsar. It is renowned for its rich and aromatic Punjabi thalis served in an old-fashioned setting. The menu features classic dishes like Dal Makhani, Paneer Tikka, and Stuffed Paranthas prepared using authentic recipes passed down through generations and enriched with pure desi ghee.
If you’re visiting Amritsar, Kesar Da Dhaba is an absolute must-try for traditional Punjabi food. Their parathas and laccha naan are exceptionally tasty and full of authentic flavor. The service is quick and courteous, and the staff ensures a pleasant dining experience. The seating arrangement is decent, though the interior is quite basic and could be improved. The dhaba is located in a very crowded area, which makes it difficult to reach with a self-drive car — it’s best to park outside and take a rickshaw or tuk-tuk to get there. Overall, it’s a legendary spot for food lovers who want to experience true Amritsari flavors. Highly recommended! 🍽️
Prince I — Google review
I recently visited Kesar Dhaba and tried their stuffed naan thali with chole, dal, curd, and salad. The food was tasty and fulfilling, especially the naan which was well cooked with a nice balance of flavor. The chole was rich and spiced well, giving that authentic dhaba feel. That said, the service was on the slower side, and the ambiance felt quite crowded. Prices are slightly on the higher side compared to regular dhabas, but the portion size was decent enough. Overall, it’s a good place to experience traditional North Indian food, especially if you’re craving naan and chole, but be prepared for some wait time and a busy environment. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5/5)

Every staff was careless, 3 were sitting on corner tables where customer sits.One staff was standing next to the cashier lady(she might be the owner)and when she got up, he grabbed her chair and started us eating, which looks very weired and non-professional behaviour. The owner lady doesnt have control on her staff and all were careless EXCEPT one lady in uniform, at least she was running the show. Also,observed shortage ot items Lassi which is an all time favorite drink of every north indian. It seems that after the sad demise of the Original Owner, nobody cares about running this famous restaurent. The main part, which is hygeine-- Toilets were dirty,there is water in the Urinal even after having Sensor, used tissues were lying onthe floor instead of dustbin. The floor was wet and water can be seen under the Urinal. There is absolutely careless management who runs this premises very casually like- Ab itna purana naam hai hotel ka to chalana to padega na... I dont know why there is so much hype about this hotel when everybody facing issues. This is my genuine feedback,if anybody want to discuss with me then I will provide my mobile number. The Alloo Paratha,Ghee Roti,Boondi Raita were good. The Kadhai Paneer,Daal Tadka were average. Regards Akhhil Sharmma

Kesar Da Dhaba is located about a 15-minute walk from the Golden Temple, tucked away in narrow lanes of the old city. Finding it can be a bit of a task, especially for first-time visitors, as the approach is quite congested. While the place carries a strong legacy and reputation, it unfortunately seems to be surviving more on its name than on its service or food quality today. The staff seriously lacks basic hospitality and manners — they come across as rude and disinterested, which really takes away from the dining experience. As for the food, it’s average at best. The taste is nothing exceptional — similar to what you’d find at any decent roadside eatery in Amritsar. Their lassi is disappointing and can easily be skipped. One plus point is that the portion sizes are generous — a single thali is enough for two people, making it reasonably good in terms of quantity and value. Overall, it’s a place you can visit once for its historical name, but don’t go expecting an extraordinary experience. There are better and more hospitable options in Amritsar offering equally good — if not better — Punjabi food.

Great lunch thali, quite busy all day long. good portion, daal and chana was delicious. Don't order separate dishes from the thali set. We order shahi paneer, and it was cold as if it was made since morning.

Went there on a friend's recommendation. Amazing food, rich in taste and flavours. Dal and palak paneer was one of the best I've ever eaten. Prices for thali are a bit high as per the portion and service.

People say it's a must if you visit Amritsar, but I found no Dhaba vibes, it's a well maintained resturant. There're some good authentic dhanbad close by, so if you don't want to go with the standard hype, avoid. I should have done that.

Really good place to eat. Doesn't look like much from outside, but once you get inside, it's a whole different experience. Very professional service and food was delicious. It is pricey in comparison to other restaurants, but service and good food do come at a price. Overall, it was a good experience.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in India. The fried fish, chicken reshmi kebab, and butter chicken were all exceptional—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the meal. A visit to Amritsar wouldn’t be complete without stopping by its oldest restaurant, The Crystal Palace—highly recommended!

One of the hidden gems for chicken delicacies in Amritsar. Must go for tandoori lovers. It has a very nice ambience and sitting area with decent and smooth muci played in the background.

*Disappointing Experience at Crystal Restaurant* Rating: 1/5 I recently visited Crystal Restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, my experience was marred by slow service, overpriced menu items, and inconsistent food quality. The highlights of our meal were the delicious Kalmi Kebabs, which were cooked to perfection and flavorful. However, the rest of our order was a letdown. The Murg Tawa Frontier, recommended by our waiter, failed to impress and wasn't worth the steep price of Rs. 540. The dish lacked depth and flavor, leaving us wondering what justified the high cost. The Fish Biryani was a major disappointment. Instead of a traditional biryani, they served fried fish on top of biryani rice, which was unacceptable at Rs. 750. To add to our frustration, the service was slow and inattentive. When we declined to pay the service charge, our waiter's demeanor changed abruptly, leaving a sour taste. *Pros:* - Delicious Kalmi Kebabs *Cons:* - Slow service - Overpriced menu items - Poor quality of Murg Tawa Frontier and Fish Biryani - Unprofessional behavior from waiter when service charge was declined *Recommendation:* While the Kalmi Kebabs were exceptional, the overall experience was disappointing. Unless Crystal Restaurant revamps their menu and service, I would advise others to explore alternative options. *Price Range:* Overpriced (Rs. 500-Rs. 1000 per person) *Will I Return?:* Unlikely *Advice to Management:* 1. Review and adjust menu pricing to reflect quality and portion sizes. 2. Improve service efficiency and staff training. 3. Revamp menu items to ensure consistency and quality. 4. Ensure wait staff maintain professionalism, regardless of service charge decisions.

I was a bit skeptical before I went in thinking this would be just another hyped up place. But the service was great, portions were amazing and food was delicious.

This restaurant is fooling customers by showing 30% off on Swiggy Dineout, but the actual prices on the menu are almost 2x higher than what’s shown. At billing time, they claim Crystal Restaurant and Crystal Plaza are different — yet there’s no separate board or signage. This is clearly a scam to trap and overcharge outstation customers. It’s deceptive, unethical, and must be escalated.

Large menu. The food was good but expensive. The chicken and mutton dishes we ordered were very tasty. Good portion sizes. The service was very attentive but communication in English was a struggle. Good alcoholic drink choices.

Breakfast restaurant
Kanha Sweets is a renowned establishment near the Golden Temple in Amritsar, offering a wide range of traditional Indian sweets and savory snacks. Their Puri Chole, served with spicy pickles and mint chutney, is a local favorite. Visitors can also enjoy their delectable Halwa or choose from an assortment of delicious sweets like Kaju Katli, Pinni, and Motichoor Ladoo.
Very delicious Aloo- Chole- Puri. Brunch/ Lunch or even suggested for breakfast. Garma garam puri is served.

Waiting can be of upto 15mins depending on the rush. We went for saturday brunch. chole were nice but not upto the mark. Pooris were absolutely amazing. Aloo ki sabji was sweet and didnt like it at all. Halwa was nice and something different. Lassi was also great. Sabjis were refillable without any charges and after 2 pooris, each poori cost 60 each.

So went in Kanha sweets to have their much hyped poori bhaji and chole. Poori were hot and fresh. Chole were average in taste. The alloo kalaunji bhaji was sweet and tangy, I personally didn't like too much sweetness but it depends on person to person and you can decide. Lassi was very good in taste and it was not very sweet. Just perfect. If you group of max 8 ppl then it should be okay, more then that then probably you have to sit separately. Service is quick and fast. Staff is attentive and polite. Prices are reasonable as per portion and quality. You may have to wait for 30 to 45 mins if you visit on weekends or public holidays. Parking is bit of a hassle. Overall it was mix experience as the hype of not worth.

My experience was excellent. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, but the standout dishes were definitely the aloo sabzi with poori chholey. The combination was flavorful and satisfying. The halwa also deserves a special mention – it was unique and incredibly tasty. A highly recommended spot for a satisfying meal!

There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful this place's poori is. If you are ever in Amritsar, you must not miss this place. Given the quality of their food, the prices are reasonable and the space is adequate. Also, the location is highly accessible. Must visit..!
Shreya A — Google review
Amritsars’s favourite breakfast place. Poori platter is the go-to for everyone here. They serve you a plate with salad Chole and Aloo sabzi which is sweet in taste. And then they serve you poori hot and fresh as they come. Do try halwa and gulab jamun after the poori breakfast. Sweets are to die for 😍
Rahul M — Google review
Food is good, especially the poori plate....but nothing outstanding, except for the tangy potato sabzi, which I haven't had anywhere else. Clean seating area, basic furniture. Do visit once for a taste.

Good dessert shop, I think I just don’t really like desserts here in India because most of them tasted the same. It’s very sweet, you feel the sugar under your teeth. The ones with nuts are better, more interesting than the ones that just have mostly sugar and oils. The staff didn’t know what to recommend us, and since we didn’t know about any of them we just picked randomly. They also added one more to make it to 250g. So we paid more because of that.

Dhaba
Bharawan Da Dhaba, located in Amritsar, India, is a bustling eatery known for its authentic Punjabi cuisine. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes such as spicy chickpeas, black lentils, mustard greens, and yogurt curry served with lachedar parantha fresh from the tandoor clay oven. Visitors shouldn't miss the opportunity to try Makki Di Roti & Sarson Da Saag, a popular Punjabi specialty.
Bharawan da dhabha very famous in Amritsar next to Brothers dhabha actually in previous they are one now last year's they seperate. Kulcha aloo and spl paneer kuclha are very tasty and delicious special sweet lassi actually very meethi and tasty, crowded place and large dining area

Delicious and authentic food. Not like what they serve in every other states. Good quality and quantity. Lassi was good too. Aloo stuffed kulcha was a treat for the taste buds.

Visited Bharawan Da Dhaba for lunch and had a great experience. The place is located right in front of the Partition Museum and truly feels like one of the vintage, iconic spots in Amritsar. We ordered chur chur naan and kulcha, both of which were absolutely delicious — crispy, flavourful, and perfectly made. The only thing that could be improved is the chutney, which felt like it could have had a richer taste to match the amazing food. Overall, a must-visit place for authentic Amritsari flavours!

Tried Paneer Butter Masala, Laccha Paratha, and Garlic Naan at Bharawan da Dhaba, and the taste was truly authentic Punjabi—rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The place is quite popular, so expect crowds and some waiting time. Service was average, but the food makes it worth the visit.

Went in on a weekday, ample indoor seating available. Service is fast and food is delicious! This is not an AC restaurant, indoor ambience is comfortable with plenty of fans. Washrooms are under construction and unhygienic. Overall, loved the food and recommend for it.

The Dal Makhani was average at best, the quality has dropped from yesteryear. The Garlic Lachha Paratha was nice, flaky and crispy. The Sarso ka Saag was too oily for liking. Overall, went there for all the hype but came back disappointed.
