Famous sweets of Varanasi
Blue Lassi ShopThe city's most famous lassi, made to order in earthen cups, an experience as much as a drink.
Pehalwan Lassi BhandarThe locals' lassi: a 1950s wrestler's shop, creamier and less sugary than the tourist spots.
Ksheer SagarA trusted 100-year milk-sweet house, with benchmark peda and winter malaiyo.
Markandey Sardar MalaiyoA generational, locally worshipped source of the city's fabled seasonal malaiyo (roughly November to February, mornings only); prepared fresh each day and one of the most authentic places to try it.
MishrambuA century-old, much-loved thandai institution; a clean, non-intoxicating way to taste Varanasi's signature spiced-milk drink.
New Rajshree SweetsA tidy, well-rated sweet shop offering iconic Banarasi sweets (launglata, magdal) in hygienic surrounds; a safe bet for mithai and gifting.
Shree Rajbandhu SweetsA heritage sweet house famous for launglata and winter malaiyo.
