Where to Eat Near Varanasi Cantt Railway Station: A Local's Guide

Arriving or departing from Varanasi Cantt Railway Station and looking for a good meal nearby? Here's where our own guests and staff go.

Bati Chokha Corner near the station serves the classic Bihari-style bati chokha, a rustic, hearty dish that's perfect if you've just stepped off a long train ride.

For quick, reliable street food, the chaat and kachori-sabzi stalls lining the station road are a Varanasi institution, best enjoyed hot and fresh in the morning.

If you'd prefer a sit-down meal with air conditioning, several multi-cuisine restaurants near the Cantt roundabout serve North Indian thalis and South Indian breakfast options.

Prefer not to venture out after a long journey? Our in-house restaurant at Surya Kaiser Palace serves both local Banarasi specialties and familiar comfort food, available whenever you check in.

Just 10-15 minutes from the station, Surya Kaiser Palace is a convenient, comfortable base whether you're arriving late at night or heading out early to catch a train.
