Gwalior

Eating Out

With a couple of exceptions, all the best places to eat in Gwalior are in the mid- and top-of-the range hotels, where the main dishes come in the range anywhere between Rs.30 and Rs. 100. More basic and much cheaper dal, subzi and roti are doled out on stainless-steel plates at the row of dhabas outside the railway station. Various juice bars are dotted around the station and Jayaji Chowk, over in the west end of town, which serve glasses of refreshing, freshly squeezed fruit juice.

However, given below are some more famous eating joints of Gwalior:
