4.8/5 (Read the Reviews)
Tucked away in Saket Nagar, Once More Cafe & Restaurant turns a quiet Varanasi lane into a pocket of calm flavour: single-origin espresso pulled short and nutty, wood-fired pizzas blistered just enough to stay chewy, and slow-cooked galouti that dissolve before the next boat horn drifts over from Lanka. The 4.8 rating feels earned rather than bought—service is brisk but never rushed, tables turn without pressure, and the chef will tweak heat levels without the usual eye-roll. Prices sit a notch below the riverfront tourist traps, yet plating and produce would pass muster in Delhi’s Khan Market. Ring +91 91513 22707 to book a rooftop two-top at dusk; watching the sky turn saffron over the city’s antennae while sipping their masala cold brew is one of Banaras’ simplest, smartest pleasures.
