Perched above Chowk Kagziyan, Shankara Vegis pairs strictly vegetarian North-Indian thalis with a 360° rooftop that frames the Taj Mahal’s marble dome so cleanly you can watch sunrise blush across it while sipping their fresh pomegranate juice; the 4.6-rated kitchen keeps paneer tikka moist in a tandoor visible from the narrow staircase, and though service can lag when tour buses roll in, the unobstructed view from the cushioned floor seating makes the wait part of the spectacle—call +91 99176 39035 to reserve a west-corner table for sunset.
