Gurudwara
Historical landmark
The Golden Temple, located in Amritsar, is a deeply spiritual and enriching experience that visitors will cherish forever. The serene atmosphere and sense of peace within the complex are striking from the moment you enter. The temple's gleaming golden facade is breathtaking, especially when reflected in the surrounding holy tank. It offers an immersive journey into Sikh culture and spirituality, with Guru ka Langar serving simple meals to thousands of devotees daily.
The Golden Temple is one of the most peaceful and spiritual places I have ever visited. The beauty of the shimmering temple surrounded by water is breathtaking, especially at night. What truly stands out is the sense of calm, devotion, and equality here—everyone is welcomed with open arms. The langar (community kitchen) is an incredible experience, serving thousands daily with love and humility. A must-visit for both its spiritual significance and its architectural beauty.

Felt so peaceful after coming here. Went on the eve of Guru Purab, there was a huge crowd but still the management was so effective that everything was happening smoothly. Got in a queue to receive prasad and had a pleasant time sitting near the holy waters.

Our family visited Sri Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara during 21 to 23 October 2025 Dipawali holidays Darshan. We stayed at Sri Guru Arian Devji Niwas, near campus. Due to the blessings of God, we took Darshan for 3 consecutive days, in a calm, tranquil, pious, religious atmosphere. We got Langar prasad. Hundreds of Sikh community bhakts were voluntarily providing their valuable services happily. It has a clean, peaceful, serene, excellent infrastructure facilities coupled with best human resources serving the devotees.

Visiting Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment you step inside, the positive energy of the place surrounds you completely. The sight of the golden structure reflecting on the holy water is absolutely breathtaking, it feels serene and spiritual in every sense. The seva done by volunteers, from helping visitors to preparing and serving food in the langar, is truly inspiring. The langar experience itself is something everyone should have at least once, pure, and full of devotion. The entire temple complex is extremely well-maintained, clean, and beautifully organized despite the huge crowds. The pathway around the sarovar is peaceful for sitting or walking, especially in the early morning or late evening when the lighting makes it look magical. Overall, Sri Harmandir Sahib is not just a religious place but a symbol of peace, equality, and faith. No matter what your background is, you’ll feel a deep sense of spirituality here. A must-visit place that truly touches the heart.

A divine place. I have almost zero knowledge of Sikhism. But when I stand in th3 queue for 4 hours that is when I felt the presence different energy. I have been to Kashi, Ujjain and every where u have to stand in queue. A lot of pushing touching, but here people are standing together with families but with pure energy and devotion to "Guru"🙏

Visiting Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar was one of the most peaceful and memorable experiences for our family. Also known as the Golden Temple, this holy place is full of positive energy and spiritual vibes. The moment we stepped inside, we felt a deep sense of calm and peace. The shining golden structure in the middle of the holy water looked beautiful, especially during sunrise and sunset. The place is very well maintained and organized, even though it gets crowded. Everyone was helpful, and the management handled everything smoothly. We stood in line for darshan, and it was worth the wait. The divine atmosphere, the sound of Gurbani, and the kind nature of the people made us feel blessed. We also had the langar (free community meal), and it was simple yet very tasty. The idea that everyone sits together and eats, no matter their background, is really touching. My kids also enjoyed and learned a lot about Sikh culture. If you are visiting Amritsar with family, Sri Harmandir Sahib is a must-visit. It’s not just a religious place, but a place where you feel peace, love, and unity.

Punjabi restaurant
Dhaba
Vegetarian 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.
Ordered special thali and I was not able to finish even half of it 🥺, they packed my half of the thali. Food is really delicious and phirni is must try. You can reach by walking, bike or toto/rickshaw. Cars cannot reach as it is located in a narrow street. Place is worth visiting if you want to try Punjabi dishes at its best.
Aamir H — 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)

We visited here for lunch and ordered one special thali, dal fry, plain paratha, and rice. The dal was really good (you should taste) rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait for a table. This is definitely a must visit place in Amritsar, especially to try their famous dal.

First of all, the seating is less with average ambience. 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
Akhhil S — Google review
Food was average, but the desserts were amazing especially the phirni and Rasmalai (must must try). The restaurant had a very long waiting line, it takes almost 15-30 mins to get seated, after that the service is very fast.
Ishita K — Google review
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! 🍽️

Tour Review: Amritsar Bus Tour with Guide Iqbal Singh I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided bus tour of Amritsar, and it was a truly enriching experience—largely thanks to our fantastic guide, Iqbal Singh. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, informative, and full of local charm. Iqbal Singh brought the city to life with his deep knowledge of Amritsar’s history, culture, and hidden gems. His storytelling skills were impressive—he made each stop engaging, whether we were standing in front of the majestic Golden Temple or exploring the historic lanes near Jallianwala Bagh. The bus was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the ride between destinations. What stood out most, though, was Iqbal Singh’s warm personality and genuine enthusiasm for sharing his city with us. He patiently answered questions, offered helpful tips, and even shared some local food recommendations that turned out to be delicious. Overall, the tour was a great blend of sightseeing, cultural learning, and fun. I highly recommend this Amritsar bus tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Iqbal Singh as your guide!Thanku

It was a really beautiful journey. The tour guide was also one of the friendliest people & within limited time he tried to show all the important places & described briefly about them. It missed some places written originally on website but it was worth it. I'll highly recommend everyone to use this bus service instead of the auto services scamming people recklessly.

Jallianwala Bagh is a public garden in Amritsar, India, known for its memorial to the tragic massacre of 13 April 1919. The garden features an eternal flame-shaped memorial and serves as a significant historical site. It is part of the Heritage Mile along with the Golden Temple and the Partition Museum.
Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar is a place which I always wanted to visit. More than a tourist destination; it's a very historical place historical which has left a lasting impression on every Indian. 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. They have preserved bullet marks on the walls and the well with a tragic story behind it serve as powerful reminders of the sacrifices made during India's freedom struggle. 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.

Do you love history and historical places? If the answer is yes, Then this place is a must visit for you! This place still has the vibes of those days and the negative energy can be felt! Those bullet marks that are preserved, the well that has been closed - it really gives chills watching it all. If you know what deadly thing happened there, you surely are not leaving this place with a good feeling. The area is now well maintained with some facilities like washrooms, wheelchairs for elderly or disabled, cleanliness everywhere. Do check more on my Instagram page @sayli_dayout

Martyrs Well

Historical place
Martyrs Well is a significant historical site located within the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. It holds great importance as it commemorates the victims of the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre that took place in 1919 during British rule. The well and its surrounding landscaped gardens serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifice and pain endured by numerous men, women, and children who sought refuge from the brutal gunfire by British troops.
Located in Jallianwala Bagh, Katra Ahluwalia, Amritsar, the Martyrs’ Well stands as one of the most moving reminders of India’s colonial past. It is part of the memorial complex that preserves the memories of the tragic massacre of April 13, 1919. During the brutal firing ordered by General Dyer, hundreds of men, women, and children, in a desperate attempt to escape bullets, jumped into this well. Sadly, over 120 lives were lost inside the well, making it a silent grave of innocent souls. The structure is now preserved with a protective boundary and dome, allowing visitors to reflect upon the enormity of the tragedy. The well holds deep emotional and historical significance. Visiting the Martyrs’ Well evokes a profound sense of grief and respect. It is not just a memorial but a sacred reminder of sacrifice, courage, and the high price paid for India’s freedom.

The Shaheedi well which itself tells the haunting story of Jallianwala bagh massacre . But after reconstructing it lost its value. Earlier there were above 25 bulletin marks on this wall. Now they just modified it and ruined its true form. The inside walls were painted.. outside walls been extended 😑 actually they ruined the Jallianwala bagh memorial.
Shibu M — Google review
Visiting Jallianwala Bagh was not just a historical visit, it was an emotional awakening. As I walked through the narrow passage, I could feel the weight of what had happened here. One single exit. No way out. Hundreds of innocent lives trapped, and mercilessly gunned down under General Dyer’s cold-blooded orders. When I reached the well that well, my heart broke. This wasn’t just stone and water. It was a sacred tomb. So many people, in desperation, leapt into its depths, trying to escape bullets. Mothers, children, elders… choosing to jump rather than be shot. I stood there frozen, and then I cried. Tears flowed for lives that never got justice, for voices that were never heard. The well holds their last breath. You can feel it. I sat at the Amar Jyoti, in silence, offering my prayers. It felt like the very ground still echoed with their final screams and hopes. The gallery and museum are beautifully preserved, telling stories not just of pain, but of resilience, unity, and the spirit of a people who rose from the ashes. Jallianwala Bagh is not just a place, it’s a pulse of India’s freedom, still beating through grief, still sacred.

The Martyrs' Well, located at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab, is a poignant and historic symbol commemorating one of the darkest and most tragic episodes in India's struggle for independence. It serves as a grim reminder of the horrific events that unfolded on April 13, 1919, during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, when British colonial troops under Brigadier General Reginald Dyer opened fire on a peaceful gathering of Indian civilians. Jallianwala Bagh was a public garden enclosed by high walls with only narrow entrances, located near the Golden Temple in Amritsar. On that day, thousands of people had assembled at the Bagh to celebrate the Sikh festival of Baisakhi and were also protesting non-violently against the repressive Rowlatt Act imposed by the British government, which allowed imprisonment without trial. Without any warning or order to disperse, General Dyer ordered his soldiers to fire indiscriminately into the crowd for about ten minutes, firing 1,650 rounds of ammunition. As the gunfire rained down, many trapped inside the enclosed space tried to escape but found themselves blocked by soldiers at the narrow exits. In a desperate attempt to save their lives, several people jumped into the well inside the garden, which is now known as the Martyrs' Well. Tragically, many drowned or were injured in the fall. According to the memorial plaque, about 120 bodies were recovered from the well, making it a grim site of sacrifice and loss. Today, the Martyrs' Well is preserved as a protected monument within the Jallianwala Bagh memorial complex. It stands surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden, offering visitors a solemn and reflective space to remember the victims. The well has been covered with a transparent barrier to preserve its sanctity, and informational plaques provide historical context about the massacre and the people who perished trying to escape the bullets. The walls of the garden still bear the bullet marks inflicted during the shooting, and the narrow entrance through which General Dyer’s troops entered remains unchanged, helping visitors imagine the scene of panic and helplessness endured by the victims. The Jallianwala Bagh complex also includes a memorial designed by American architect Benjamin Polk, inaugurated in 1961, which honors the martyrs with the eternal flame called "Amar Jyoti" symbolizing their undying spirit. The massacre had profound consequences, becoming a turning point in India’s independence movement. It galvanized the Indian population and leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi, who called for a nationwide non-cooperation movement against British rule. The Martyrs' Well remains a testament to the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens for the freedom of India and stands as a symbol of courage, resistance, and the quest for justice. Visitors to the Martyrs’ Well are often moved by the tragic yet heroic stories encapsulated by the site. It serves as an important reminder of the brutal realities of colonial oppression but also of the indomitable human spirit that refuses to yield. The well and the memorial ensure that the legacy of those who lost their lives in Jallianwala Bagh is preserved for future generations, fostering reflection on the cost of freedom and the importance of peaceful resistance. In essence, the Martyrs' Well at Jallianwala Bagh is not only a historic landmark but also a powerful symbol of sacrifice and resilience in India's journey to independence. 💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍

Place where the freedom fighters fell into well when there was uninformed firing of bullets . The history says that, freedom fighters thought that ,it was better to die jumping to well and commit suicide than getting killed by the British people. Almost 120 bodies of Martyrs were recovered after the incident.

Beautiful renovation and the light and music show was very informative and intriguing. Must visit and attend the show which starts at 815 pm (Hindi version). Do visit this place before sunset to enjoy the rest of the bagh, as you won't be allowed to move around during the light and music show. And as soon as the show ends, the place is closed and you are asked to exit.

It's an amazing place. A tribute to 1919 jaliawala baag Martyrs. This park is now newly developed there are more gallary area they made in side the park. Where you can see the pictures of the jaliawala baag in those days and story behind it. Previously it has one entrence area and the same area I used for the exit. But no they isolate both now exit area is open up in the market area. Earlier there was no ticket system but looks like in the future they are planning a token system same a metro. Enterance also they chane notify can see the pictures on the walls. More green area and we'll maintained. Seriously I loved this place and it's just walkable distance from the golden temple. And you can cover this within 1 hr.

The Partition Museum, located near Town Hall in Amritsar, is the world’s first museum dedicated to the memory of India’s Partition of 1947. It beautifully yet painfully captures the human stories, struggles, and resilience of millions who experienced one of the largest mass migrations in history. ✔️ Highlights: • Personal stories, letters, photographs, and belongings of refugees • Audio-visual exhibits narrating real-life experiences of Partition • Art installations and maps showing migration routes and refugee camps • Peace Wall with messages of hope and unity • Well-curated galleries that take you on a chronological journey of events before, during, and after Partition ⚠️ Things to keep in mind: • The atmosphere is emotional and heavy—be prepared for a moving experience • Allow 1.5–2 hours to explore fully • Photography is restricted in certain sections • Closed on Mondays—check timings before visiting ⭐ Overall: A powerful and emotional museum that makes history come alive through real human experiences. Visiting the Partition Museum is not just educational, but also deeply moving, reminding us of the value of peace and unity.

I recently visited the Partition Museum in Amritsar, and I really liked it. The museum is very informative and gives a deep insight into the history and emotions of the Partition of 1947. The displays, personal stories, and photographs are very moving and beautifully presented. It gives deep sense of emotions when we learn the sacrifices of the innocent made because of few people's greed, stubbornness and unplanned activity. Overall, it’s a must-visit place.

Great place to learn about partition, political scenario that led to it and its aftermath. There is lot of reading needed, wish there was more audio visual treatment. If you have time, do get an audio guide available at rs 100.

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.

Great pure vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Amritsar. The food here is fingerlicking delicious. The ambiance is creative and beautiful. Thoughtful interiors.

"Naam bade aur darshan chhote" this quote is for Rang Punjab. Let me start with the good part. 1. Nice seating 2. Good ambience 3. Decent service Well, this place is lil bit on the expensive side. But that is not the problem. The actual problem is the food. We ordered Dal badi Pulav, palak paneer, chai, bun maska, khasta paratha and naan. The pulav looked like it was mixed and served with some old rice which was not sold earlier. The Bun was not fresh. Khasta paratha wasn't great either. Palak paneer was good. Decent chai. Overall it was a huge disappointment. And we paid alot for this kind of food. I dont recommend this place.

We found this place in the Lonely Planet guide, so we knew we could trust our choice. What we didn’t expect was the warm and familiar welcome from the owner, who was genuinely caring, taking the time to explain all the dishes and recommend the local specialties to try. We felt we had to leave this review so that tourists (and locals alike) who don’t have the guide won’t miss out on this amazing place.

After spending two and a half weeks in India, I wanted to try something different, so I ordered Chinese noodles. They were too salty for my taste, but the owner kindly offered to recook them.

Gurdass Ram Jalebian Wala

4.5
(2596)
Indian sweets shop
Candy store
Dessert shop
Gurdass Ram Jalebian Wala is a renowned establishment in Amritsar, known for its heavenly hot jalebis fried to perfection in pure ghee. The jalebis are freshly made right in front of you, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor. This small shop, located near the Golden Temple, offers an enchanting culinary experience with its traditional jalebi-making process that has remained unchanged over the years.
Tucked away in the vibrant lanes near the Golden Temple, Gurdasram Jalebi Wale is not just a sweet shop—it’s a legacy. For decades, this iconic corner of Amritsar has been delighting visitors with the kind of rich, nostalgic taste that only time-honored recipes and unwavering passion can deliver. Despite the humble setup—where you stand and relish your snacks on the spot—the experience is anything but ordinary. The jalebis, golden and glistening, strike a perfect balance between crispness and syrupy indulgence. Each bite bursts with flavor, delivering a warmth that feels handcrafted and soulful. Their gulab jamuns are equally divine—soft, melt-in-the-mouth spheres soaked in just the right amount of sweetness, without ever feeling overpowering. The texture, the aroma, and the taste all reflect a deep-rooted commitment to quality that has stood the test of time. Whether you’re a local or a traveler seeking an authentic culinary moment near the Golden Temple, Gurdasram is a must-visit. It’s more than just a sweet stop—it’s a celebration of Amritsar’s rich food heritage, served one impeccable bite at a time.

Gurudas Ram Jalebi is known for its Jalebi and Gulab Jamun. We tried only the Jalebi. it was fresh but on the thicker and less crunchy side; we personally prefer the thin, crispy type. The place isn’t immaculate, and the handwashing area is right next to where the food is prepared, which can be improved. It would be great if the local authorities and shop owners worked together to enhance hygiene, similar to how Indore has developed its street food zones.

No doubts...There Jalebi is yummy in the region but at the end of the Day, it's cheat day when you have it. They raised there products prices drastically that it has gone out of the hands of middle class families. Otherwise too delicious Jalebhi. If you have 100rs and you looking for Sweet, try their Jalebhi.

If you’re walking through the old lanes of Amritsar, don’t miss this tiny shop. It doesn’t look fancy, but the jalebis here are amazing. When we went there, it wasn’t crowded, and we only waited five minutes while they made them fresh. The jalebis are — crispy, sweet, and super hot. We shared one portion, and that was enough for two because it’s really sweet. You have to eat it right away, standing on the street, since there’s no seating. They sell other snacks too, but the jalebi is the star. It’s a must-try if you love sweets!

This is located in Fairfield by marriott at Amritsar. The food quality is average or just Above average. We booked from Zomato. There was supposed to be a 35% off on total bill. The restaurant denied it and said that's only on food and not on drinks. Very strange. I complained to zomato they apologized and refunded. But the restaurant staff was not helpful and strange. We ordered a cocktail with olives. There were no green olives in the restaurant. Not marriott standards at all. The veg Platter was good. Dimsums were good. No complains. Atmosphere of the restaurant was good. But service can be improved. The manger did not know about the discount. And says we get very few bookings from zomato.

We had lunch at Kava Grill & Lounge, located inside Fairfield by Marriott, Amritsar, and it was a great experience overall. The restaurant is situated very close to the Amritsar Railway Station, making it a convenient stop for travelers looking for a good meal before or after their journey. We ordered Wok Tossed Noodles, Honey Chilli Potato and Fresh Lime Soda. The noodles and honey chilli potato were perfectly cooked with just the right balance of spices, and the fresh lime soda was especially refreshing and tasty. The quality of the food and presentation was impressive, and the taste definitely lived up to expectations. The service was another highlight — staff members were courteous, prompt, and attentive throughout our meal. The ambience was calm and modern, offering a relaxed dining environment away from the city’s hustle. If you’re looking for a quality meal, relaxed ambience, and close proximity to the railway station, Kava Grill & Lounge is definitely worth a visit.

Sadda Pind Amritsar is a unique destination that offers a glimpse into traditional Punjabi village life. It's like a living museum where visitors can immerse themselves in the cultural arts, architecture, and flavors of Punjab. The recreated village features mud huts, cobblestone paths, and lush greenery, providing an authentic rural experience. Guests can participate in hands-on activities such as pottery and Phulkari embroidery led by skilled artisans.
Sadda Pind in Amritsar offers an authentic glimpse of Punjabi culture with folk dances, traditional food, and village-style activities. A lively and family-friendly experience. We loved it, highly recommended for NRi's to bring their kids here with their grandparents, once in a lifetime.

A wonderful showcase of vibrant Punjabi culture and authentic local flavors! The live performances were engaging, and the overall ambiance truly reflected the rich heritage of Punjab. However, it would be great if the management could consider providing an air-conditioned resting area for elderly visitors and families with young children to relax comfortably. Also, while the traditional drink was refreshing, we were expecting lassi as mentioned—but it turned out to be buttermilk. Still, a memorable experience worth visiting!

Very nice place with little activities spread across the area. Food was also good, authentic dishes & taste. The people managing the activities were very warm & welcoming. Definitely worth a visit & aim to spend at least 4-5 hours to fully enjoy the place & participatein the activities (turban & paranda tying, mehndi, popcorn making, makki roti-saag tasting, village cinema, camel rides, etc.)

We visited Sadda Pind on Lohri day this January without realizing most places in Amritsar would be shut — even the Golden Temple had huge crowds. Our auto driver recommended we check out Sadda Pind, and we’re so glad we did! Even though we reached pretty late, the experience was so memorable. A group of aunties were sitting by a bonfire making makki di roti and sarson da saag — we sat with them, chatted, and had one of the coziest meals of our trip. The vibe was so warm and welcoming, even at closing time. We got to explore a few cultural setups, had a full-on tel malish (which was amazing in that freezing weather), and ended the night with a delicious buffet dinner — all-you-can-eat Punjabi food, both veg and non-veg, plus desserts. When we were done, the place was almost shut and we couldn’t find a ride back, but one of the staff kindly helped us get an auto. It was freezing but so much fun. Would definitely recommend visiting for a wholesome and heartwarming experience!

Food is very good,a rich punjabi cuisine. The staff is very polite. They have rooms for accommodation too. But little expensive on that part. I'm not sure if the meals are included. It gives a glimpse of rural life of Punjab in India. Activites are monotonous after a few visits. Good place for children. It's ok to visit one time especially for tourists visiting Attari Wagah border ceremony.

Located near the India-Pakistan border in Amritsar, this museum is a powerful tribute to the brave soldiers of Punjab who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. The architecture of the memorial is striking — the soaring central sword sculpture and flame symbolize valor and honor. The museum itself is beautifully designed and very well maintained. Inside, it’s not just about reading history — it’s an immersive experience. From the moment you enter, you’re taken through various galleries that showcase Punjab’s rich military history, dating back to ancient times through to the modern Indian Armed Forces. The exhibits include authentic weapons, uniforms, medals, and detailed accounts of famous battles. The 7D theater is a highlight — it gives a goosebump-inducing reenactment of war scenes that makes you feel the courage and sacrifice of our soldiers in a very real way. One section that really moved me was the display of letters, photographs, and stories of individual martyrs. It puts faces and emotions to the names we often hear. It’s a reminder of the real people and families behind the headlines. The museum staff are helpful and respectful, and the overall environment encourages quiet reflection. It’s not just for history buffs — it's a place every Indian should visit to truly understand the price of our freedom. I’ve uploaded a few photos from my visit, but honestly, no image can capture the emotional depth of this place. Salute to the heroes of Punjab and India. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Huge space, has 8 galleries each needs 30 mins atleast. You can get a guide and also has a 7D show which we had to miss. Loved our time there, only advise dont underestimate and keep ample time specially if you are history buff. Museum covers wars from Sikh gurus to modern Kargil war and how Sikh regiments have contributed.
Deepak L — Google review
Very well maintained and it's nice to have a guide explaining each module and the sword figure is cool. Please avoid 7D show. It's very badly maintained and only first few minutes they explain abt Maharaja Ranjit Singh, next it's hellish with those seats and all the roller coaster video. I was sick after the show.

You’ll need at least one full day to explore this place properly. There are both pros and cons when hiring a guide — the advantage is that you’ll understand the real stories behind the wars and unsung heroes that never made it to print media. The flip side is that most guides tend to rush through, so if you want to spend more time, you’ll have to set that expectation clearly. We had to rush to the Attari Border in the second half, so our guide wrapped up the tour in about 2 hours. The exhibits are interesting, but the show isn’t that impressive — it lacks a proper storyline and flow. They could’ve made it much better with a virtual tour or an interactive presentation covering all four major wars to provide a better context. The museum is co-owned by the Punjab State Government and the Ministry of Defence, and while the concept and structure are excellent, there’s still scope for better storytelling and visitor experience. Overall, a good place to visit if you’re interested in history and war stories — just make sure to plan enough time and get a good guide.

The museum is very very amazing, the statues, the stories worth every bit. But have atleast 4 hours to enjoy it fully. To fully enjoy, have a guide. Our guide was Kritika, she explained everything very well and is a very sweet lady who answers questions very well. Ask for her when you reach Gallery 1 soon after entry. Mesmerised with the Sikh culture, the war stories and the bravery of each and every soldier. 7D theatre is bit Ohkay but can try.

Good place for a few hours visit enroute the border. Tickets are 150 per person, Hire a guide for 100 Rs for detailed information on all 8 galleries. 7D movie is for Rs 50 (movie is for about 10 minutes, and 5 minutes of 7D Roller coster ride)

This place related to sikhesim. History of this place - Guru Arjan Dev Ji,the fifth Sikh guru,had q large well constructed in this area.The well was so large that it required 6 persian wheels to operate.chheharta got its name from the six wheels,where six chhe (punjabi: ਛੇ) and the persain wheel is called hart (punjabi : ਹਰਟ). The well was now been covered,but its water is still pumped to feed the main tank of the Gurudwara.now developed as industrial township,chheharta falls within the revenue limits of Vadali Guru, a village one km to the south, where guru arjan stayed during 1594-97.

Spiritual place to feel the calm and serene environment. One can feel the positive energy oozing throughout this Holy Place. No problem of parking as there is plenty of space available. It gets crowded on some special occasions. So, on that day its better to plan your visit first before you get stuck in traffic chaos as one has to pass railway crossing before reaching there. I couldn't forget that day where i was stuck on the crossing for at least 3 hours. Hope this never happens to anyone. Anyhow, must go place if you want to feel the presence of God.

Historic architecture. Khalsa College in Amritsar, Punjab, is a historic institution renowned for its stunning architecture and cultural heritage. Established in 1892, the college's grand buildings and meticulously maintained grounds reflect its rich legacy, making it a visually captivating and inspiring place. The campus, with its lush greenery and majestic structures, undoubtedly deserves a 7 out of 10 for its aesthetic and historical significance. However, despite its impressive exterior, Khalsa College struggles to deliver a high-quality academic experience. The education level at the institution leaves much to be desired, with outdated curricula and teaching methods that do not meet modern standards. Students often find themselves yearning for more rigorous academic challenges and better learning resources. Consequently, the college scores only a 4 out of 10 in terms of educational quality. In summary, Khalsa College is a jewel in terms of its physical and historical presence, offering an environment rich in heritage and beauty. However, to truly honor its legacy and provide a well-rounded educational experience, significant improvements in academic standards and teaching methods are essential.

If you are in Amritsar then please see this ancient architectural marvel although I am not sure how one can enter this place but it's beautiful. I guess many films have been shot here as well. This Khalsa College spreads around 3 km alongside GT road and appears not to be less than a kings palace.

​Khalsa College in Amritsar, a premier educational institution, is located on Grand Trunk Road. Established in 1892 by leaders of the Singh Sabha Movement, it was envisioned to provide higher education to the Sikh and Punjabi communities. The college's sprawling 300-acre campus and its striking architectural design, created by the renowned architect Ram Singh, make it a historical landmark in itself. ​The college building is a magnificent example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, beautifully blending traditional Indian and Mughal styles. The main structure, with its large domes, arches, and intricate details, reflects the grandeur and rich cultural heritage of Punjab. This impressive design gives the campus a unique and timeless character, making it a prominent architectural gem in the region. ​Khalsa College offers a wide range of academic disciplines, with numerous departments covering various fields of study. These include departments in Arts, Sciences, Commerce, and Agriculture, among others. The college is affiliated with Guru Nanak Dev University and has a strong focus on research, with a dedicated Sikh History and Research Centre. ​Beyond its academic contributions, Khalsa College serves as a symbol of cultural and historical pride. Its founding was a significant step in the educational and social upliftment of the community. Today, it remains a pillar of learning and a testament to the vision of its founders, continuing to uphold its legacy as a leading educational center in Punjab.

I'm being honoured to be in this prestigious University/College. Such a grand place. Meet some students and looks very proud of themselves for being member of the univesity. They gave me the most warm welcome. A good place to be for small numbers or single traveller and not for big tour groups as this is a university. Needs to honour their privacy.

Where to eat

Under a 5-minute drive from Sadda Pind Amritsar, here are a few close by recommendations for when you get hungry exploring around.

Brothers Dhaba

4.1
(3806)
$$$$affordable
North Indian restaurant
Brothers Dhaba is a vibrant and casual dining spot that offers a variety of vegetarian northern Indian dishes. Situated near the Golden Temple in Amritsar, it's a popular choice for those craving authentic North Indian cuisine. The menu features favorites like Aloo Gobi, Paneer Butter Masala, and creamy Dal Makhani. With its bustling atmosphere, generous portions, and warm hospitality, Brothers Dhaba is a must-visit for food enthusiasts exploring the area.
Brothers Dhaba – Where Comfort Food Gets a Punjabi Punch Born out of the same culinary roots as its elder sibling, Brothers Dhaba brings its own flavor to the table — quite literally. While it shares the legacy, it carves a different path, blending tradition with a touch of home-style flair. Step inside and you’re welcomed with aromas that feel instantly familiar — like walking into your grandma’s kitchen on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Let’s talk Kadhi Chawal. It’s got that perfect tang, poured over fluffy rice, and finished with a drizzle of desi ghee that ties it all together. A side of crisp onions adds the crunch you didn’t know you needed. It’s comfort food that hugs you back. And the Rajma Chawal? Oh, it’s dreamy. Silky-soft kidney beans in a rich, slow-cooked gravy that’s clearly made with love and a lot of patience. The kind of rajma that doesn't need bells or whistles — just a spoon, a quiet moment, and maybe a nap afterward. Brothers Dhaba doesn’t just serve food — it serves nostalgia, in generous portions. Pro Move: Sneak in that extra plate of Kadhi Chawal. Even if you’re full, you’ll find the space. And yes, it’s totally worth it. 📍Located right by Town Hall, Amritsar — sharing walls with legacy, but standing strong on its own.

There are lot of mixed reviews of this place but the place is actually good to dine. The food is fantastic with authentic flavours. Daal Makhni, Paneer, Chhole everything is wonderful. Lachha parathas are very unique and crispy, not eaten anywhere else in the country. Staff is very friendly and serves you really well. Serving time is not long. The desserts however are average and can be avoided. Food here is a must try, specially their thali. Highly Recommended. Located right in vicinity if Golden Temple, you are very likely to love their food.

Had a great experience at Brother’s Dhaba in Amritsar! The food was flavorful and satisfying, but the highlight for me was definitely the amazing Amritsari Kulche—crispy on the outside, perfectly stuffed, and served with delicious chole and chutney. The mango lassi was another winner—thick, creamy, and refreshing, just the way it should be. Portion sizes were generous, making it great value for money. The place has a casual, lively vibe and quick service too. A must-visit if you’re in Amritsar and craving authentic Punjabi food!
Soumee B — Google review
A must-visit spot near the Golden Temple for anyone craving authentic Punjabi comfort food. The chole bhature, rajma chawal, and paneer dishes are full of flavor and generously portioned. Service is quick and efficient, even during rush hours. The place is usually crowded, but the turnaround time is fast, making it ideal for tourists on the go. 💡 Tip: Try the lassi — it's thick, creamy, and served chilled in a steel tumbler. Best visited during early lunch or late dinner hours to avoid long queues.

This place serves amazing Amritsari kulcha and choor choor naan. The food tastes really good and is of good quality. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the service is quick. The prices are a bit high, but it's worth it for the delicious food. This is on the way to wagha border and will recommend this place than any other places for kulchas.
Bhargav M — Google review
I recently visited this restaurant and had a very unpleasant experience. While eating, I discovered a black worm on my plate, right in the middle of the food. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the hygiene and food safety standards of this place. Despite the food being otherwise decent, such a lapse in cleanliness cannot be ignored. It not only ruined the meal but also made me question how the kitchen is being maintained. I hope the management takes immediate action to improve hygiene and ensure this does not happen to anyone else. Customers trust you with their health — don’t take it lightly. Not recommended unless they take visible corrective steps.

This place is clean and you will see many non-Indian tourists. Large menu. The food was good but expensive. My wife's fried shrimp was a generous portion while my Lamb Josh Rogan was rather small. Good choices for alcoholic beverages. The service was good but a little pushy. As others have mentioned, there is a 10% service charge added to the bill so we didn't leave an additional tip. I hope that 10% went to the employees.

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 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! 🇮🇳❤️

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.

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.

Very well connected by road with big Parking facility. One can spend time here meditate near its sarovar looking at beautiful idols of Lord Shiva or Vishnu. This is also a Golden Temple which believers must visit if they are in Amritsar.

Mata Lal Devi Mandir Amritsar : Mata Lal Devi was here from 1947 till 1992. There is a different kind of peace in here. The idols have a charm of their own.

Lal Devi Mandir in Amritsar is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Goddess Lal Devi, known for its vibrant atmosphere and spiritual significance. This temple is often compared to the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu due to its cave-like pathways, narrow tunnels, and sacred water pools, which devotees pass through as part of their religious journey. Located in the Rani Ka Bagh area of Amritsar, the temple attracts thousands of visitors seeking blessings, particularly women hoping to conceive, as the deity is believed to grant fertility. The walls and ceilings are adorned with intricate mirror work and colorful murals depicting Hindu deities, creating a mesmerizing visual experience. Devotees walk barefoot through winding passages, climb small staircases, and pass through symbolic cave-like structures before reaching the main sanctum, where they offer prayers and seek divine intervention. The temple is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of faith, devotion, and mysticism, drawing pilgrims from across India. Many believe that prayers offered here bring prosperity, health, and happiness. The peaceful ambiance, coupled with the temple’s unique architectural style, makes it a must-visit spiritual site in Amritsar. Whether for religious faith or architectural admiration, Lal Devi Mandir leaves a lasting impression on visitors.

It is a holy shrine place situated at model town amritsar. It is named after Mata Lal Devi ji. People visit this place as they seek a child from Mata Lal Devi ji. Lal in punjabi means child. Temple is built beautifully specially the Mata Vaishno Devi part. One part of this temple is purely dedicated to Mata Vaishno Devi. It has caves, stairs and narrow ridges. It is believed that those who have wished to visit Mata Vaishno Devi temple, but could not visit due to some reasons. They can visit this temple and complete their wish. Although not on tourist's wishlist but this temple is a hidden gem of Amritsar and a must visit place.

Akal Takht Sahib, also known as Akal Bunga, is a significant religious site for Sikhs. Established in 1606, it is one of the five takhts in Sikhism and serves as a place for seeking justice. Situated next to the Golden Temple in Amritsar, it houses ancient Sikh scriptures and books. There is no entry fee to visit this sacred place, which is open from 5 AM to 10 PM daily.
The first and the most important t The first and the most important takht was established by Guru Hargobind in 1609: Akal Takht (the Throne of the Timeless God), located just opposite the gate of Harmandir Sahib (The Golden Temple), in Amritsar. While the Harmandir Sahib, or Golden Temple, represents Sikh spiritual guidance, the Akal Takht symbolizes the dispensing of justice and temporal activity. It is the highest seat of temporal authority of the Khalsa and the seat of the Sikh religion's earthly authority. There, the Guru held his court and decided matters of military strategy and political policy. Later on, the Sikh Nation (Sarbat Khalsa) took decisions here on matters of peace and war and settled disputes between the various Sikh groups. Jarnailsinh Bhindranwale occupied it in 1984. To make Akaltakht free from Jarnailsinh Bhindranwale and his followers, Indian Army attacked on them. This was damaged and rebuilt.

The overall grounds with Harmindir Sahib (Golden Temple) showcased in the middle. It is hard to even describe the STUNNING BEAUTY of the grounds. This the cultural/religious center of Sikhism and you will see and learn everything you would ever want to know about the culture here. We used Roobaroo walls to arrange our tour of Amritsar and this was the crown jewel of the visit. It is truly BREATHTAKING. Everywhere you look you will see the architectural detail that will amaze. AND YOU CAN ALSO SERVE AS WELL BY BOTH PAYING FOR FOOD DONATED AND PROVIDING YOUR LABOR IN THE KITCHEN AS THEY SERVE THE DESTITUTE. DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY YOU WILL GAIN THE TRUE SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE. Definitely go in early-mis evening so you see the full visual grandeur as darkness sets in and you see the illumination the grounds!! A TRULY ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!

Sri Akal Takht Sahib was built by Guru Hargobind Sahib with the help of Baba Buddha Ji and Bhai Gurdas Ji. The nine feet tall concrete slab was revealed by Guru Hargobind on June 15, 1606, when he wore two swords, the Miri and the Piri, which indicate his temporal and religious authority, respectively. Every year on July 2 the Sikh community across the globe honours the establishment of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. It is one of five takhts (seats) of the Sikhs which is considered to be the first and most important Takht situated in Amritsar. Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Guru of the religion, laid the foundation of this platform inside the Golden Temple complex🙏

A Symbol of Sikh Courage, Justice, and Spiritual Authority Akal Takht Sahib, located within the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, is not just a religious site — it is the highest seat of temporal authority in Sikhism. Standing directly opposite the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), it beautifully represents the balance between spiritual devotion and worldly responsibility. The atmosphere is powerful and humbling. You can truly feel the strength, dignity, and sacrifice associated with Sikh history and values. The architecture is majestic, and the energy of the place fills you with pride and peace at the same time. Visiting Akal Takht Sahib is a deeply moving experience. It reminds you of the courage of the Gurus and the resilience of the Sikh community. A must-visit for anyone coming to Amritsar — whether spiritual, curious, or simply seeking inspiration. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 🙏

Bhai Kulwant Singh Kulchian Wale is a decades-old eatery known for serving classic Punjabi cuisine, particularly its famous Amritsari kulchas. Located near the Golden Temple in Amritsar, this iconic joint has been satisfying locals and tourists alike for over 50 years. The delicious kulchas, served with chole and pickle, have garnered praise from food enthusiasts and tour managers. The affordability of the breakfast options adds to the appeal of this establishment.
Amazing Kulchas served hot and fresh. Limited seating but the service is quick. They have different kind of Kulchas. This place is really popular and expect to wait few minutes for your turn. We went here for breakfast and it was really good. Very good polite staff and the prices are very reasonable. Very good experience.

⭐⭐⭐ A Trusted Name for a Quick Kulcha Fix 1. Legacy & Pricing: Located near the iconic Golden Temple, Bhai Kulwant Singh Kulchian Waale has been around for years — and it clearly shows in their loyal customer base and steady footfall. It’s one of those places where you get value for money, with kulchas priced very reasonably, especially considering the location. 2. Food Experience: We tried their Aloo Kulcha and Gobi Kulcha, both served with a basic chana sabzi, onion salad, and a generous dollop of butter on top. The flavors are decent and satisfying — nothing overly fancy, but definitely good enough for a quick, fulfilling meal. 3. Extras: If you’re in the mood for a complete Punjabi treat, you can also add a glass of lassi for ₹60. Thick, sweet, and refreshing — it pairs well with the kulchas. Final Thoughts: It’s a place worth visiting once — especially if you’re looking for a budget-friendly meal with local flavors. While it may not be the best kulcha in town, it definitely holds its own with its legacy, affordability, and consistent taste over the years.

Being an amritsari, i know the true taste of a kulcha. This kulcha was the worst one i ever had. The first kulcha i had there was gobhi kulcha, some bites contained extreme taste of certain masalas & some were completely tasteless. Being somewhat disappointed i ordered a second one and that kulcha half of it was completely burnt & the other half was completely uncooked, complained about it & left the place fully disappointed. Feeling sad to say that the place is only left with a great name but quality has taken a big dip.

Loved the Kulchas here, you can get different types of Kulcha like Aloo Pyaz, Paneer, Gobhi, Mix. My go to Kulcha is Aloo Pyaz. Cholle are not too spicy which is great. Service is quick and you can ask for extra Cholle or Chutney too. Dining area is slightly smaller, can accommodate maximum 10-12 people. You can also have tea which is quite good.

They are very popular in this business and the kulchas are really good. The dine-in is a small place with shared table seating for quick access to this delicacy. This format is seen across Amritsar. Note the timings. It's unfortunate that such good food is not available throughout the day. Tourists with limited time in Amritsar might miss out on these delicacy.

I ordered a gobhi Kulcha, there was no salt, no spices and no taste in the Kulcha, the chhole were cold, when enquired about it, the retort was isme khatta laga Hota Hai toh garam nhi karte. I am from Amritsar from my maternal side and have eaten Kulcha virtually all good and bad places in this city, Kulwants was the worst ever. Do not recommend, unless you want to be disrespected and cheated. I would give 0 rating if there was an option.

Ashok Kulche Wala is a popular open roadside stall known for serving mouthwatering crispy kulchas. The Mixed Kulcha and Aloo Kulcha are particularly heavenly, with a perfect balance of softness inside and buttery crispiness outside. Despite the high waiting times, the quality and taste of the kulchas make it worth it. The seating area may be limited, but the delicious kulchas more than make up for it.
The kulchas were amazing. It was super crispy and tasty. Along with kulche they serve chole and onions dipped in a imli chutney. Everything together tasted awesome. Another note, it’s a small dhaba and you might need to wait for 20-25 min after placing the order as they prepare the kulcha fresh. Amazing experience and very much recommended. Please visit when you are in Amritsar. We ordered mix, gobhi and paneer kulcha and those were good in taste. You can try there other dishes as well!

I am disappointed to report that my second visit to Ashok Mathi Kulcha was a far cry from the exceptional experience I had during my first visit. Back then, they operated from a rehri, and their mathi (crispy) kulcha was truly delicious. Fast forward to today, and they've shifted to a nearby shop. I was excited to indulge in their signature dish once again, but unfortunately, it failed to impress. The mathi kulcha I ordered was nothing special – the kulcha itself, the filling, and the accompanying chane (chickpeas) were all strictly average. What's more disappointing is that this type of kulcha is readily available at many shops in Amritsar, and Ashok Mathi Kulcha's version didn't stand out in any way. The quality seems to have taken a hit since their relocation, and I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. Perhaps they were having an off day, but based on this experience, I can only give them 2 stars. If you're craving authentic Amritsari kulchas, you might want to explore other options.

The place is good and the food was awesome. I was on a tour to Amritsar and someone recommended this place and it was really great. They make your kulcha once you give your order.

If you want to experience the best kulchas, then this place should be at the top of your list. As someone from Amritsar, I can confidently say that the crunchy kulchas here are unbeatable. You have to try the mix kulcha with butter on top - it's simply delicious. It's no surprise that this place is a Sunday feast for many families in Amritsar. However, the limited seating area and cramped parking can be a hassle. Despite that, I highly recommend this place for its mouth-watering kulchas. Don't miss it!

I was in Amritsar for 2 weeks and visited the place 3 times. Took guests from the US too. The small matthi kulchas are awesome. Just make sure to park your car on the main road and walk to the kulcha place. A Thums Up with the Kulcha is a must. On weekends expect delay of 45 to 90 min to get your kulchas so patience is a must.

Recently tried Ashok Mathii Kulcha in Amritsar, and let me tell you, their kulchas are crispy like mathii and packed with flavor. They were perfect in every sense! The chole and imli ki chutney with pyaz were soooo good. Just a heads up, the kulchas usually sell out by 2 PM, so make sure to visit on time. It's a hidden gem with a nice overall vibe, and they even have seating available. Enjoy your visit! 😋👍

Nestled in the bustling heart of Amritsar, R K Food Plaza is a charming eatery located inside a grocery store, just opposite Amrit Talkies. This delightful spot serves up an array of traditional dishes including flavorful curries, comforting noodles, and even pizza! The menu features local favorites like Dal Makhani and Cheese Naan alongside their renowned Special Thali.
RK Foods, Amritsar I recently visited RK Foods in the main market of Amritsar, and it was an amazing experience! Being my first time trying Amritsari food, I couldn’t have asked for a better place. The local shop owner highly recommended it, and it truly lived up to the expectations. I tried the RK Foods Special Thali along with a Kulcha Plate, and everything was so delicious! The total cost was just ₹330, which is unbelievably reasonable for such good quality food. The ambience is simple and basic, but the food quality more than makes up for it. If you’re looking for authentic Amritsari flavors at budget-friendly prices, this is the place to go! Pros: • 🍛 Authentic Amritsari Food: Delicious, flavorful, and made to perfection! • 💰 Affordable: Both the thali and kulcha for ₹330 – unbeatable price! • 🏠 Great Location: Situated in the heart of the main market, easy to find. • 🤝 Friendly Recommendation: Even locals swear by their food quality.

The restaurant is located very close to the Golden Temple, which makes it extremely convenient and accessible for visitors. Whether you are walking from the temple area or arriving by vehicle, reaching the place is quick and hassle-free. This easily becomes a good option for anyone looking for affordable food nearby without having to travel too far. When it comes to food, the quality is definitely impressive for the price charged. It feels like a value-for-money spot where you can try a good variety of items without worrying too much about the cost. I tried the chap and the veg chowmein, and both were flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. Rajma chawal, however, felt just average and could be improved. The ice creams were okay, nothing extraordinary, but enough to finish the meal on a sweet note. The service here is functional but reminded me of places near colleges or schools, where efficiency is present but not very polished. Staff seemed casual in their approach, which might not suit those looking for refined service, but it works fine in such a budget-friendly setting. Overall, this is a very cost-effective dining choice. Good location, tasty food at the right price, and convenient for daily or casual eating.

The best Punjabi breakfast in the city and possibly the region, Period. Bansal excels in all things that mean Punjabi breakfast - Aloo-puri, Cholle-Bhature, Chilled Milk. Each item ordered was the best I’ve had. All preparations are made with Clarified Butter/ Desi Ghee. A plate is 2 bedmi puris (light-lentil-and-spice-mix-stuffed, whole wheat dough) or 2 Bhaturas (fermented refined flour dough). Recommend anyone who’s visiting Amritsar to ditch their hotel breakfast and enjoy this experience. Breakfast for 4 is typically under INR 1200 or about USD 15!

Very poor packaging. Sweets of the place are good because of which the brand name is alive. The staff didn’t explain to us properly about the difference in sweets and namkeen and their names. It was our first visit to Punjab and we needed guidance. The packaging is very poor. THE MATHRI BOXES SPILT OPEN IN MY SUITCASE ruining the clothes as well as the mathri. Moreover, the mathri is very thick. I needed to go to another sweet shop to get freshly made mathri for taking to Gujarat. Would recommend going to a small halwai instead of these giants charging exorbitantly for such quality of packaging and taste.

Bansal Sweets is widely appreciated for its authentic North Indian mithai (sweets), especially made in pure desi ghee. Many customers find its classics — motichoor ladoo, patisa, pinni — excellent in taste. However, there are also recurring concerns around price, service, and occasional quality lapses. On balance, for sweet lovers, Bansal delivers quite well, though it might not always live up to its full reputation.

The year was 2009, Celebration mall was officially the first shopping mall to be opened in Amritsar. It had almost everything a shopping mall needed, a 3 level basement parking, a 4 screen cinema hall (Cinépolis), a World famous fast food restaurant (McDonald's), a good mix of restaurants and familiar branded clothing stores. But, it couldn't survive... During the construction of Batala Road flyover for the BRTS project (Bus Rapid Transit System), the mall suffered a major setback in terms of extremely low footfalls caused by over delayed construction process. The mall couldn't be accessed properly for about 4-5 years. It was destined to fail. Now, Cinépolis, McDonald's, Brand Factory are the only franchises that are opened here. A local karate club on the Lower Ground Floor and a handful of local stall and kiosks on Ground Floor are there. A lack of aggressive marketing, poor strategic position and BRTS construction are the reasons for its failure.

Garden
Park
In Amritsar, the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Garden, also known as Ram Bagh, is a must-visit historical spot. Constructed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, this public garden is a testament to his legacy as the pioneer of the Sikh Empire in Punjab. Within the garden lies the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, housed in what was once the king's double-storeyed palace during his visits to Amritsar.
Maharaja Ranjit singh park popularly known as company bagh Amritsar.. it is a bliss for fitness lovers..u can walk on road as well as on raw track but some people enjoy thier morning with loud music with big speaker in the park which makes noise and create trouble for some who are there for peaceful morning and meditation.

Great place for a morning walk. Bit noisy & sometimes crowded. Hear about people talking busy life, health and sip on to this protein rich soup made up of black grams. Also savour on black grams with some cut pieces of Amla. Yes your morning dose of vitamins and proteins gets good start. Cheers to life.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum At a distance of 1.5 km from Amritsar Junction and 4 km from Amritsar Golden Temple, Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum is a popular museum situated in the middle of a beautiful Ram Bagh Garden in Amritsar, Punjab. It is one of the best museums in Punjab and also one of the top tourist attractions in Amritsar. Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum was originally the summer palace of first king of Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Later, it was converted in to museum in 1977 CE. It is a treasure house of the history, art and architecture of the Sikhs of the 18th and the 19th century AD. The museum offers insights into the life of the Sikh monarch Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The Museum displays objects connecting to Maharaja Ranjit Singh such as arms and armour, outstanding paintings and centuries old coins and manuscripts. The paintings displayed in the galleries of the museum showcase the court and camp of the king. Among all the paintings, one that depicts the city of Lahore is most famous. Coins and manuscripts displayed at the museum reflect the spirit of secularism in the king and rich history of Sikh province, respectively. The arms and ammunition section of the Museum shows a rich collection of weapons, which were prevalent among the great warriors of that time. Next to this museum stands the beautiful Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama, an eternal visual record which encapsulates the life of the Maharaja. Timings : 10 AM to 5 PM, closed on Mondays and Public Holidays Entry Fee : Rs. 10 Per Person

The only major govt. park having greenery, but there are many places where heaps of filth scattering hither & thither. It is clean only near Beer Bar Clubs/restros. inside its vicinity. It is a pity on the part of the administration, the main statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh(ridden on horse) as well as its surrpundings is in so very dilapidated condition.

Omaxe Novelty Mall

4.0
(1154)
Shopping mall
Omaxe Novelty Mall is a popular destination in Amritsar, spanning about 1.25 lac sq. Ft and attracting both tourists and locals. Situated in the heart of the city, it is known for being an entertainment and shopping hub for families and children. The mall offers a variety of amenities including a cinema, novelty restaurant, Burger King, Subway, as well as options for shopping and leisure activities.
I recently visited Novelty Sweets Restaurant in Amritsar, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. While the place is well-known for its traditional sweets and snacks, I decided to try something lighter and healthier this time – their subs veg salad. The salad was beautifully presented, fresh, and colorful, with a generous portion of crisp vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and capsicum, all perfectly chopped. The dressing was light yet flavorful, enhancing the natural taste of the veggies without overpowering them. It felt refreshing, clean, and surprisingly filling – a perfect option for anyone looking for a healthy meal without compromising on taste. The bread for the sub was fresh and soft, with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. The combination of fresh vegetables and flavorful sauces created a balanced, wholesome bite every time. It’s rare to find such a good mix of taste and health, but Novelty has managed it perfectly. The staff was polite and attentive, making the whole dining experience pleasant. The place was clean, well-lit, and had a comfortable seating arrangement. Overall, I’d highly recommend Novelty Sweets Restaurant not just for their sweets, but also for their healthy and delicious food options.
Sukhbir S — Google review
It's a small mall, not much to do except restaurants and movies. But this being at Novelty chowk and offering things like bowling and games makes it worth the visit. The escalators don't always work on all floors (especially on the movies level) but lifts work fine. There are plenty of eating area apart from Novelty′s own restaurant. There are some medicine shops outside as well (HealthKart etc). When you can't get tickets are other cinemas, this is the place to be.

Omaxe Novelty Mall is a decent shopping destination. It has a good variety of stores, offering everything from clothing to electronics. The food court has a decent selection of options, and the overall atmosphere is quite lively, especially on weekends. However, it can get crowded, and the parking situation can be a bit of a hassle. Overall, it's a convenient place to shop and spend some time.

I had a wonderful experience at [Mall Name] recently. This mall truly has it all! The variety of stores is impressive, from high-end brands like [Store Name] to affordable favorites like [Store Name], and the anchor stores are always reliable. What really sets this mall apart is the atmosphere. It's clean, bright, and well-maintained. The seating areas are comfortable, and the wide corridors make it easy to navigate, even on a busy Saturday. The food court deserves a special shout-out for its diverse options—we loved the [Type of Food, e.g., Thai cuisine The staff we interacted with, from the information desk to the retail workers, were friendly and helpful. Ample parking and clean restrooms --- [Mall Name] is a decent mall that meets most basic shopping needs. I found most of the stores I was looking for, and the location is convenient. The recent addition of [New Store or Feature] is a nice upgrade. However, there are a few things that could be better. During my visit, the food court was quite messy and it took a long time to find a free table. Also, some of the common areas, especially near the restrooms, felt a bit dated and could use a refresh. It's a solid 3-star mall—it gets the job done, but it doesn't have the "wow" factor of some others in the area. I'd come back, but probably not make a special trip for it. Star Rating: ★★★☆☆ --- Template 3: The Negative Review (1-2 Stars) Title: Disappointing and Poorly Maintained I regret to say that my recent visit to [Mall Name] was very disappointing. The first thing I noticed was the lack of cleanliness; there was litter in the hallways and the restrooms were in an unacceptable state. Furthermore, the mall feels like it's in decline. There are too many vacant storefronts, which creates a sad and empty atmosphere. The parking lot was poorly lit and felt unsafe after dark. The only reason it gets one star is for the few stores that are still trying their best. Until the management invests in maintenance and attracts new tenants, I cannot recommend this mall. There are much better options in the city. Star Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ --- Template 4: The Short & Sweet Review Title: Great Mall! Love this place!Always clean, great store selection, and a awesome food court. Perfect for a family day out. Highly recommend. Star Rating: ★★★★★ --- Template 5: The Family-Focused Review Title: A Hit with the Kids! As a parent, [Mall Name] is a lifesaver! It's our favorite weekend spot. The children's play area is clean and safe, and having a [Store like Disney Store or Build-A-Bear] is a huge plus. The family restrooms are clean and well-equipped, which makes a big difference. We also appreciate the stroller-friendly layout and the variety of kid-friendly food options in the food court. It's a comfortable and enjoyable environment for the whole family. Star Rating: ★★★★★ --- Tips for Customizing Your Review: · Be Specific: Mention specific stores, restaurants, or features (e.g., "the new play area," "the valet parking," "the Apple Store"). · Mention Staff: If someone was particularly helpful, give them a shout-out. · Talk About the Vibe: Describe the atmosphere—is it bustling and energetic, or calm and relaxed? · Consider the Parking: Was it easy to find a spot? Was the parking lot safe and well-organized? · Note the Crowds: Was it pleasantly busy or unpleasantly overcrowded? Just pick the template that fits your experience, fill in the details, and you'll have a perfect review

A historic Gurudwara in Amritsar, where I am told the ninth guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur was born. The best way to get here, in my opinion, is either by foot or via an E-rickshaw. We saw a couple of halls where you need to pay your prayers. Langar sewa is available for most of the day, on all days, I think. Very close to other historic gurudwaras in the area.

Gurudwara Guru ke Mahal offers a profound spiritual retreat in the heart of Amritsar. This sacred site, steeped in history, provides a serene and contemplative atmosphere that is a stark contrast to the bustling city outside, inviting visitors into a space of quiet reflection and worship. ​Historically, the Gurudwara holds immense importance as the ancestral home of the Sikh Gurus. It served as the residence of Guru Ram Das Ji, the fourth Guru of Sikhism, and was also the birthplace of his son, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. Later, it became the home of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, marking it as a cornerstone of Sikh heritage. ​Structurally, the building is a beautiful example of Sikh architecture. Its pristine white facade and multi-story, simple design stand out with an elegant solemnity. The peaceful courtyard and the central prayer hall, with its intricate details, are a testament to the region's craftsmanship and spiritual devotion. ​Visiting this Gurudwara is a truly moving experience. It is a place of peace and reflection, offering a deeper connection to Sikhism's rich past. It is an essential stop for pilgrims and tourists alike who seek to understand the city's spiritual roots.

Gurudwara Ber Baba Budha Sahib, also known as Bir Sahib, is a significant religious site located on the Chabal-Amritsar road in Amritsar, Punjab. It holds great historical and spiritual importance as it was where Baba Budha Ji spent a considerable part of his life from 1506 to 1631.
One of the most beautiful temples in the world covered in 12,000 kg of gold this is a must visit place. You have to wear long clothes and cover your head. Free head covering is available at the entrance. Free shoe store and luggage store is available. Free filter water is available. You have to wash your feet and hands to enter. During the morning or day it could take as long as 2-4 hours to get into the middle temple. To go inside it is best to visit at night about 7:30+ we were in and out in about 45mins. There is a 24hrs langar (food) kitchen entirely run by volunteers which I would highly recommend to eat. You are also able to volunteer with any work so if you feel like washing up then just start following someone else. A very busy but peaceful place where people may be homeless but they will never go hungry.

Golden Temple, Amritsar I recently visited Amritsar for the first time in my life, and the experience was truly divine. Honestly, words can’t do justice to what I felt—you have to be there to understand it. I went during the holidays, and although it was a Sunday and quite crowded, I was still able to explore the city and enjoy its amazing food. We did proper darshan the next day. One sincere request to all fellow travelers—wherever you go, especially at such sacred and historic places, please be mindful of cleanliness. The management at the Golden Temple is doing a great job, but it’s also our responsibility to maintain the sanctity and cleanliness of the place. Everything was so beautiful that I didn’t feel like leaving. Photos can capture the view, but you need to be there to feel that divine energy. And the Kadha Prasad? Truly the best in the world. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, devotion, and unforgettable food.

Gurudwara Ber Baba Budha Sahib is a very peaceful and spiritually uplifting place. If you are planning to visit and want to have darshan quickly, it’s best to reach early in the morning, otherwise due to heavy crowds it might take a lot of time. The atmosphere here is filled with devotion and positivity. If you truly want to enjoy the beauty of this holy place, I would also suggest visiting once in the evening — the view and ambiance are simply mesmerizing with the serene lights and calm surroundings. Overall, it’s a must-visit destination for anyone coming to Amritsar, offering both spiritual bliss and a beautiful experience.

Amazing religious temple for Sikhs and all others. We visited twice in a week. Best time to visit is after 6 PM. When it is lighted it is like a heaven. Keep your shoes out, wash hands and legs. Wear head cover. Photography is strictly prohibited. You may see people holding spear, but they are for your protection only. It usually gets very crowded as well. A must visit place in India. Do not miss Silver temple(Durga Mata temple) as well which is close by.

We visited golden temple in April. It was very hot in Amritsar. We visited golden temple at night from outside. It looks beautiful at night. There is a counter where you get Prasad and can be donated also. In morning we went to Golden temple to take darshan. It took 3 hours in line. Line management could have been better as it is not single line. But women with kids are allowed ahead. There is separate line for ladies and gents. Outside there is a large corridor which has markets and vendors. You can purchase jhumkas, jhooti, dress materials. Near by there is also a market called as Shimla market which has cheaper but same items. You can explore that also. Beside it there is Jallianwala Bagh where in you can go and spend sometime by watching the place and also garden.

The Golden Temple, known as Sri Harmandir Sahib, holds a special place in the hearts of Sikhs worldwide. Situated in Amritsar, Punjab, it's not just a religious site but a beacon of spiritual and historical importance. Getting there is easy with options like the nearby airport and railway station, as well as buses and taxis. Constructed by Guru Arjan Dev in the 16th century, the Golden Temple's golden dome is iconic, housing the revered Guru Granth Sahib. It's a haven for prayer, meditation, and community service. Despite its popularity, the temple management ensures a smooth experience for visitors, even during busy times like festivals. What truly stands out is the langar, a communal kitchen offering free meals to everyone, irrespective of their faith. It's a beautiful expression of Sikh values, promoting equality and humanity. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is more than just a tourist spot; it's a profound journey into Sikhism's essence, offering serenity and inclusivity to all who visit.

Located in the heart of the city near Moni Chowk, ISKCON Temple, also known as Shri Gaur Radha Krishna Mandir, is a serene and beautifully adorned Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha.

Best place if you really want to experience heaven on the Earth. I have no words to say about the beauty of this place. I can only say , "RADHE RADHE" & " HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA ,KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA ,RAMA RAMA HARE HARE"🪷💜🪷💜🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have visited several ISKCON temples all over the country, and this is one of the smaller ones that I have visited. It was a bit difficult to locate, as there aren't any prominent sign boards nor markers, and very few people (only nearby shopkeepers) are aware of its existence. It is a calm, peaceful place amidst an oasis of traffic, noise and chaos. As in all ISKCON temples, the staff are extremely polite and helpful.

Novelty Sweets & Restaurant is a must-visit spot in Amritsar, located at the corner of Lawrence Rd. and Mall Rd. The place offers a variety of delicious treats such as chole puri that locals swear by for its rich flavors and layers. It's a great place to stop by with family for quick bites like chats and sweets, offering a wide range of options with consistent quality.
Had ordered Sohan Pappdi. Excellent taste. Packing also neat and clean. Highly recommend.

- Puri choley is fine (Nothing like Wow!) - Good thing is use of spices is moderate - I tried lassi (it is also fine) - Service is good. Staff is nice and polite - Rate of menu is fine - They levied service charge. That is optional - You have to park on the footpath - Overall average experience nothing great

I always have Dahi Bhalla here. They are just best. Sweets are a bit overpriced and I'm not sure if they make it in pure ghee. So, never tried their sweets.

My last visit to this restaurant was a bit disappointing. Although they have an extensive and impressive menu, the food served did not meet my expectations in terms of taste and quality. I also noticed that the cutlery was not cleaned properly, which affected the overall dining experience. However, the ambience of the place is quite decent and pleasant. I hope they work on improving the food quality and hygiene, as the restaurant has good potential.

I’m extremely disappointed with the experience. I received a call from one of your agent "Ria" who misled me into making a purchase under false information. The details provided during the call were completely different from what I received after the transaction. This feels like a clear case of fraudulent selling, and it’s completely unacceptable. Later, I found out it was a scam. There was no support or accountability from the Novelty platform. This has completely broken my trust in Novelty online shopping through this site. Its my last shopping with Novelty Sweets.

I visited Novelty thinking it was a pure veg and clean restaurant. I ordered a paneer dosa and to my shock I found a big hair inside it on my very first few bites. I complained politely and the waitress apologized and replaced it. However, when I ordered the same dish again I found hair again in the dosa. I complained once more still politely but by then I had lost my appetite. I had been traveling all day, hadn’t eaten for 8–9 hours and was extremely hungry but after this experience I felt nauseous and disgusted. I decided not to order food anymore and just asked for a cup of coffee. Instead of showing true concern or offering compensation they even overcharged me for the coffee. The only positive I noticed was that the washrooms were clean but the food hygiene was unacceptable. Finding hair in my food twice is shocking and disappointing especially in Amritsar near the Golden Temple where people expect a higher standard of cleanliness and trust in pure veg restaurants. What if I hadn’t noticed and accidentally eaten it? Hygiene is non-negotiable and this experience was highly disappointing. I will never ever visit this restaurant again. I absolutely hate it. This is very bad and far below even basic standards. Highly unhygienic, highly irresponsible and a complete waste of money. Overall: I do not recommend Novelty for food.

Sweets are off varied quality and there are a lot of different delicacies to choose from. Minor complaint regarding the management which is a bit sore during peak hours and can improve upon the same.

Their methai tastes so awful. They are known top 1 methai shop in amritsar but every time we bought methai it's very ddisappointing. It tastes spoiled like it's been sitting in the shop for days and they have always prepackaged to sell so consumers won't notice that it's old.

Pehalwan Kulcha

Punjabi restaurant
If you're on a culinary adventure in Amritsar, make sure to stop by Pehalwan Kulcha Shop, nestled in the vibrant Walled City. This iconic eatery has been serving up delicious Amritsari kulchas since 1952, thanks to its founder, Pehalwan Atma Ram. He transformed the traditional Peshawari khameeri roti into what we now cherish as the Amritsari naan.
Best kulche & chole i had ever. Kulche were so tasty that no one can stop eat one. As i visited this place in navratre time so they were not using garlic & onion in food but the taste was 100%. Glad to see that without garlic & onion they can deliver such a wonderfull taste. I will definately reapeat here whenever i am in amritsar. Kulche here were mind blowing it is a must try. Specially mixed kulcha. Highly recommended if you are in amritsar.
Tawinder S — Google review
How would you know that you have the real deal? Just follow the locals for great food Kulcha is asked for in 2 choices normal or spicy, honestly from my opinion spicy one was mildly hot. But food was awesome no other words Chole was so refreshing and tasty, it was like a flavour bomb. Don't miss this place.
Nagesh M — Google review
This place serves the best ever kulcha on Planet Earth. I'd say Spicy Kulcha from Pehalwan is my favourite thing to eat in all of India. If you're in Amritsar and ask for one dish to try, I'd say this is the place to be. They offer two varieties of Kulcha (Medium and Spicy), I'd recommend you to go with Spicy. The chole served along with the Kulcha goes well with it. I'm writing this review at a place 3000 Km away from Pehalwan Kulcha, 75 days after I had tried it and still just the thought of it makes me drool. I was at Amritsar for two days and on both days, Pehalwan's spicy kulcha was the first thing I ate in the morning. This goes into my list of "Things to eat in India before you die". This is a traditional place and is a bit crowded hence you'd have to wait about 30 mins to 1 hr irrespective of whether you're dining in or taking away.
Srivathsan — Google review
Visited this famous spot in Amritsar recently — found it trending on Google and decided to try it out. To be honest, the place felt a bit overhyped. The taste? Absolutely amazing! One of the best kulchas I’ve had — no doubt about that. But when it comes to hygiene, the experience was disappointing. It was hot and sweaty inside, with barely any proper place to sit. None of the staff seemed well-dressed or professionally managed. Considering it’s a tourist spot and attracts a lot of visitors, they really need to improve the cleanliness and ambience. With a little attention to these details, this place could become so much better. But if you’re going just for the taste — it’s totally worth it!
Mayank K — Google review
If you're a food lover, then you should not miss the “Pehlwan Kucha”. You don't need to find him, just ask any e-rickshaw or auto driver, he will drop you there. It says that the original taste of the kulcha belongs to Amritsar, giving its unique name “Amritsari Kulcha” When we arrived at Pehalwan Kulcha, we found it jam packed from inside. So, we had to wait 15-20 minutes to get a seat but it was all worth it when it came to taste. A tourist from Sydney (Australia) also joined our table to enjoy that kulcha. During the conversation he told me that his friend recommended him to visit there. I would also recommend you to visit there if you adding Amritasar in your travel list. Have a super day, Keep sharing your experience.

Restaurant
Grand Trunk is an all-day dining restaurant in Amritsar that offers a diverse a la carte menu featuring international classics and authentic Amritsari cuisine. The restaurant serves everything from breakfast to dinner, promising to delight every palate. With dishes like butter chicken, Murgh Malai Tikka, Ajwaini Fish Tikka, and flakey lachha paranthas, Grand Trunk draws inspiration from the streets of Amritsar to create magic with authentic flavors.
The Grand Trunk is the primary restaurant of the 5 star Taj hotel in Amritsar. The place is beautifully decorated and the staff is always polite and considerate. The open kitchen lets you enjoy the chefs doing their work. The food selection is typical North Indian along with some items thrown in for the mix. The dishes are well prepared, flavorful and visually appealing. Quality is obviously top notch. Definitely worth repeating
Prashant G — Google review
A Truly Memorable Dining Experience at The Grand Trunk Dining at The Grand Trunk was an absolute delight. From the warm hospitality to the exceptional food, every detail was spot on. Special thanks to Sikander, Keerat, Sakshi, and Pramod – the tea specialist, for making our experience extra special with their attentive and genuine service. The breakfast spread was scrumptious, with something for every palate. The chole bhature were a standout – rich, flavourful, and authentic. The decadent kulcha was another highlight, perfectly capturing the essence of Punjabi cuisine. For those craving variety, the international selection was equally impressive. Don’t miss the chai counter, beautifully manned by Pramod – amritsari tea is a must-try! The ambiance is elegant, with spacious, well-lit seating and stunning chandeliers adding a touch of grandeur to the meal. Highly recommend The Grand Trunk for both locals and visitors looking for a taste of Punjab in a refined setting.

Breakfast at Taj Swarna, Amritsar is always a feasting delight. While offering a breakfast spread with multiple dishes options might be possible for many 5 stars but ensuring that each one of these tastes mouthwatering delicious is extremely rare. Each guest's taste preference is noted and remembered. I'm extremely fussy about my coffee and I was surprisingly delighted when our server not only executes my coffee perfectly but also remembered it for next morning. Special thanks for Chef Rachpal for taking care of cooking our dishes as per our preferred taste. Simply Brilliant Breakfast.

This TAJ HOTEL AMRITSAR sucks !! It is a lost case of service and hospitality in the north corner of the country and you might doubt at times if this is the Taj under IHC . Second hotel after Taj GWALIOR Usha Kiran , I have found a hotel which doesn’t meet IHC std .From the time you come to the hotel porch -Valet parking guys ignorance of your presence gives you an unwelcome felling. Enter the reception area … you are on your own no one gives a damn! Anyways find your way and come to know that Indian food is avlbl at Grand Trunk restaurant….and the experience continues . None to attend you personally … so keep raising your hand again and again to call someone to attend you on your table. Food was average with replacement of Naan requested as it seemed like ready naan heated . Keema kaleji was tasteless with OIL poured in tons and Rumali Roti … buttered ! Better to go to Restaurant Haveli at Ranjeet Avenue atleast you are serviced well and fresh tasty food . AVOID TAJ AMRITSAR until they learn “ Atithi Devo Bhava “ !

Highly recommended for breakfast buffet! Also the staff is super sweet and courteous! Dinner experience: Came here for a dinner while staying at Taj Amritsar! Ordered a dal khichdi and it was just average! It was too bland and tasteless! Breakfast: The buffet in the morning was superb! The variety was great. The same started with fruits, muesli, flavoured curds, cheese platter live South Indian food counter, pancakes, waffle, cereal bar and multiple local delicacies like chana puri etc. The overall experience was great! Though if you’re staying for long you’d get bored as the menu is almost fixed and doesn’t change except for two/three items! Favourites: Masala dosa, muesli and banana cake with nutella!

Very disappointed with the beverage, they charge a cup of cappuccino cost more than luxury hotel in london, but the coffee is burnt with over steamed milk and burnt my tongue sipping it, this they can avoid easily by just training the barista in a day and giving the 5 stars hotel experience with the price tag they made, I hope they take the feedback, lots of foreigners who enjoyed coffee will be disappointed when come here

Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Asthan

Hindu temple
Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Asthan is a significant Hindu temple located 11 km west of Amritsar, known as the birthplace of Luv and Kush, the sons of Lord Ram and Sita Mata. The temple is dedicated to Maharishi Valmiki ji and features a museum, a gilded statue of Valmiki, and an ornate structure built on stilts over a pond.

Beautiful place. This site holds tremendous value in the Hindu tradition being the ashram of Maharshi Valmiki, and the birth place of Lav and Kush. The management needs to step up to maintain the cleanliness and sanctity of this place. The temple structure is unique. Situated in the middle of the lake, the entire site looks picturesque. Worth a visit.

Sunny S — Google review
Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Asthan in Amritsar is a magnificent spiritual destination that beautifully blends history, devotion, and architecture. Believed to be the ashram of Sage Valmiki, this sacred site holds immense significance as the birthplace of Luv and Kush and the place where the Ramayana was composed. The modern temple complex, inaugurated in 2016, is breathtaking. The main shrine stands gracefully in the middle of a large sacred pond, with its reflection shimmering in the water—a sight that feels truly divine. The 8-foot tall, gold-plated idol of Sage Valmiki is the heart of the temple and inspires deep reverence. The premises also include a museum, a Sanskrit library, Sita Mata’s hut, and several mythological spots linked to the Ramayana. Ample parking, clean pathways, and spacious halls make it comfortable for visitors. The atmosphere is serene, especially in the early morning, when chants and the soft sound of water create a calming experience. However, some areas need better maintenance to preserve its grandeur. Overall, Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Asthan is not just a temple but a journey into India’s rich spiritual heritage—a must-visit for devotees, history lovers, and anyone seeking peace.

Very peaceful and serene place, little off from the city. We visited during the daytime, still it was enjoyable and a cool breeze was flowing. Big structure, huge lake with lots of fishes and tortoises in it. My kid enjoyed feeding them. The reality of the historic importance that they claim is debatable, but you will definitely enjoy this place. Do visit if you have little extra time during your amritsar trip.

Ram Tirath Temple, located 12 kilometers west of Amritsar's city center, is a significant Hindu temple honoring the birthplace of Lava and Kusha, the twin brothers of Rama and Sita from the Ramayana epic.

Surrounded by a water pond with a parikrama route lined with small temples dedicated to various deities, it offers a serene atmosphere for visitors seeking tranquility.

Ram Tirath, also known as Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal, is an important Hindu pilgrimage site in Amritsar, India. It is believed to be the ashram of Sage Valmiki, where he wrote the Ramayana, and the birthplace of Luv and Kush, the sons of Lord Rama and Sita. The temple is located about 11 km from the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The pond by the temple needs cleaning. Also ensure you are fully dressed before entering the temple. You will not be allowed otherwise. Please keep the place clean when you visit 🙏

Visited the Ram Tirath Temple — a beautifully maintained complex steeped in mythological history. The golden idol of Sage Valmiki is truly impressive, and the serene sarovar adds to the peaceful atmosphere. While it’s a short drive from Amritsar city, ample parking and clear signage make the visit comfortable. Some parts could use better upkeep (e.g., a few smaller shrines were a little dusty) but overall it’s a very worthwhile spiritual stop. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the Ramayana heritage and looking for a tranquil temple experience near Amritsar.”

The Maharaja Ranjit Singh Panorama in Amritsar is a popular tourist spot, surrounded by other attractions like the Amritsar International Cricket Stadium and the Amritsar Club. 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.

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.

I visited Amritsar in 2014 and after 5 years I got chance to get in this holy city once again. In 2-3 years it has been changed a lot, before the shops were so congested , roads were damaged, & there was no wide space at all. But now it has been reversed as you can see in images. It's looking like a foreign country & many things have been improved. I loved it. The combination of this Heritage Path & Holy Golden Temple could make it a 8th Wonder of World⭐

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.

When you're wandering through the vibrant world of street food, you can't miss the iconic fast-food chain, Burger King. Known for its delicious offerings and value for money, this spot is perfect for satisfying your cravings without breaking the bank. The burgers are a highlight—crispy buns encasing tender patties and fresh veggies make each bite delightful. Plus, their fries often steal the show! The atmosphere is inviting, making it an ideal place to relax while enjoying your meal.
Just want to appreciate the staff and managers (Ashish & Manjeet) I had an issue with my online takeaway order, when came to pick it up, it turned out to be out of stock. But they assured me that next time visited, I'd get the same order without any hassle And true to their word, after 4 days, they kept their promise and served me my order. Really appreciate that kind of service! As for the food- Crispy Veg was good as a quick bite Mutton Deluxe Burger- It also tasted good totally recommendable

Burger King is pretty solid when you're craving a quick bite. The burgers are decent, and the fries are usually on point. It's a classic for a reason!

Service was fantastic. Encouraged us to use the app to save a decent amount of money. Vishal Sharma should get an employee of the month award. Was super attentive and helpful. Made our dining experience great. The food was delicious and I'm nagging my husband to take me back! 2000rp for feed 8 people really well, I was happy with.

Worst service, ordered through Zomato on 4th of July, 2025 did not even send the order. When called their contact was switched off they did not even pick the call of Zomato executive. No wonder why Burger King is failing in India. Just marketing won't save you guys if you can't send a simple order.
