Ujjain

Eating Out

Ujjain suffers from a dearth of decent places to eat. Most visitors either stick to their hotel restaurant, or opt for a plate of veg curry, rice and chappatis in one of the cheap dhabas opposite the railway station. Hygiene levels vary. However, better places are mentioned below:

• Ashnoi
  Located on the University Rd, this is Ujjain's nicest place to eat, moderately priced menu is excellent pure veg, with a few Chinese dishes thrown in for good measure.
  
  
• Chanakya
  Situated on Station Rd (Subhash Marg). This is the best of several no-frills restaurants opposite the station. Spicy, inexpensive veg food, and chilled beer. The popular Ankur next door offers more of the same.
  
  


• Indian Coffee House
  Located in Durga Plaza on the Dewas Rd. Here, one can expect good-value South Indian snacks and inexpensive Indian main courses.
  
  
• Nauratan Shipra Hotel
  Located on the University Rd. Typical MPSTDC restaurant offering tasty veg, Mughlai, tandoori and Chinese dishes, plus some Western options (even fish and chips) and a wide choice of beers and spirits.
  
  
• New Raj Kumar
  Located in 20 Bhaktawar Ganj, Dushera Maidan. It is a small, spotless and unpretentious pure-veg joint, with mains averaging at Rs50. A little difficult to find, tucked away down a suburban backstreet off Waktahwa Marg near Surana Palace.
  
  
• White House
  Situated inside the Surana Palace, 23 GDC Rd. Here one can get a wide range of carefully prepared Indian and Chinese vegetarian dishes at moderate prices, served indoors or on the lawn. There's also a fast food outlet for pizza, veggie-burgers and ice cream.
