Rabdi Malai Lassi Soothes Your Senses
Start your quest for authentic Banarasi food with a glass of their signature Rabdi Malai Lassi. Served in a kulhad, Rabdi Malai Lassi tastes miles apart from Punjabi Lassi. For starters, the Banarasi lassi is a dessert drink. Sweet buttermilk is topped with a generous blob of fresh malai and cardamom-infused rabdi. The thick creamy texture of the lassi caters to all mithai loving people, It’s rich, decadent and sinfully good. Since the portions are generous, you can opt for one-by-two glasses of lassi instead of two, if you have a smaller appetite.

The comforting taste of hot, spicy tomatoes with a crunchy layer of papdi, tantalises your tastebuds. Lassi Ghat also offers samosas and kachoris, a lovely evening snack.
