Santosh Daal Baati Churma - Udaipur

On my wonderful 2 day visit to Udaipur, I craved for authentic Dal Bati from the minute I stepped into the city. I was directed to this famous joint which is running successfully for a very long time right amidst the city. The unlimited fixed menu thali system was something I was used to, being a resident of Ahmedabad for 2 years, but this one was a total delight! No red and green typical North Indian gravy, no excess oil covering the contents of the dish and nothing I've had before. Everything item on the plate (5-6 items) felt extremely healthy for consumption and did great justice to its traditions. Heros of the meal: The garlic chutney The aloo gobhi stir fry (potato & cauliflower) The simple radish salad ???? The extremely humble staff Even after having 3 huge batis, and all those items on the plate, I had no regrets for a stuffed tummy! Although the ambience lacks the charm of a fancy restaurant since it's only a small and ancient joint, maintaining its authenticity as it is, the food will grow on you soon enough to distract you from the environment. ???? I would recommend everyone to visit this place on their visit to Udaipur!????????

Simple furniture simple décor and fabulous food is what Santosh is... True to its name Santosh serves amazing dal baati churma thali which costs just 160/- and that too unlimited.... Very soft n crisp dipped in ghee baati not much spicy and n bliss to palate daal and equally good churma... Full on paisa wasool lunch and taking an off rout of 8kms is worth it...

It is recommended by our host at Udaipur and we must say that it was a right decision to have Dal-Bati here. It is so simple place, typical old restaurant of any city, but food is super. Dal-Bar with Ghee and Lahsun chatni is mouth watering. Churma was also perfect, not too sweet. It is a must visit place for every one visiting Udaipur and want to have Dal-Bati. We had three bati, extra Ghee and Chhas and end up paying only Rs95/-

The dal baati was okay. The churma was extraordinary.  I especially liked the garlic chutney. They have unlimited refills. The ambiance could be better. It was hot and stuffy inside.
