Bamboo Cafe

Delicious Indian food. I only had Indian vegetarian dishes, tea and lasi, but they have quite a few meat choices + Western dishes. Definitely try the desert - Gulab Jamun. Don’t expect Western standards, but I would highly recommend. Ran by husband and wife, she cooks everything on the spot and always asks if you want it ‘Indian spicy’ which I found quite sweet. There’s a sign that suggests they run free guided tours - can pay however much you consider fair. However, I haven’t been so don’t know how/ when they take place. Cafe is in walking distance from Taj Mahal.

Highly recommend eating at Bamboo Café. We went there with our 16 month old son and not only was the food the most delicious and authentic we had, also our son was allowed to move freely.

Kitchen was clean and family Naim just incredibly nice. Thank you for the very nice evening!

Definitely a must-try if you are near the Taj Mahal. The cafe offers a delightful homemade taste in every bite. Whatever you order, it is made right in front of you, ensuring freshness and quality. I highly recommend trying their Sweet Lassi; it is absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a place to enjoy tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere near the Taj Mahal, Bamboo Cafe Shop is the perfect choice.

One of the best places I have been on my month long trip around India. This is a family run restaurant and all the food is freshly cooked by the mother. I had a tomato spinach potato curry and it was just amazing. It made me feel like I was 8 years old and sitting at my grandmother's house for Sunday roast. I will definitely go there again.

I've never been to a more homely place. The kind owners, husband and wife, are the ones who run the restaurant. Their welcoming presence and homely treatment is all you need for a feeling of home while away from it. The food is customised as per your needs, they can make it as you demand. Overall the food is fresh made in a kitchen next to you, just like home. Everything is freshly prepared. My review may seem biased at this point, but I'll bear that tag, such is the experience, rather memorable experience of the place.
Go check it out for yourself!

This is one of the best and unique places ever built in India, the concept is so real and fresh, the family is extremely welcoming and food is simply another level, they literally serve you in their own home and from their own kitchen, it’s open and you can watch the lady of the house preparing mouth watering meals. Also, if you are looking real Indian home experience and have interesting conversations and wait for the food, then this place is for you, because in this home kitchen time stops🥹❤

Excellent home cooked food by proprietor's wife. Ordered Indian food (they have Western also) had both dinner and breakfast there, breakfast was especially good and good value for money.

Friendly family run casual place. Not super visible from street level, go up a flight of stairs to get to it.

This cafe shares the kitchen with the owner’s house, so you know that what you are eating is some tasty, freshly made, grandma-style meal. It was the first time i’ve seen a open kitchen in India, and we were impressed! No AC room, but nice breeze on the second floor.

We had a delicious meal at the bamboo café. Incredible home-cooked food, and very warm and welcoming service. We had not tasted food like this in India before – very so fresh and tasty. Would highly recommend, thank you so much!

had a great breakfast here with my family. you can see the cooking going on in the kitchen, we had two pancakes for the kids and 2 Indian breakfasts. Indian breakfast was good, well rounded with curd and jalebi and tea to accompany the parathas and curry. very friendly host

Great place with home-made food (the restaurant is at the owners' home. You can pick from a variety of delicious food with affordable prices and see how they are made with a visible kitchen.
The owners are super nice and you can taste that they put the heart into every dish. I highly recommend the place, will come back for sure next time in Agra.

P.S. They also offer free walking tours around Agra and Taj Mahal (you tip your price if you like it).

Very relaxed Cafe with home cooked meals at a reasonable cost. The owners live here and care about their business and customers. Come as a stranger and leave as family. If your in Agra, you must come and eat here. Same food as the high dollar places but better atmosphere and better cost. Right down the road from Taj Mahal East Gate. Restaurant is upstairs. Ate here every day. 😁

Tried this place after reading so many good reviews and I'm glad we did. We've been there thrice. They have some really good home cooked food. I went there with my family and everyone loved it. Food was not at all spicy and it was so fresh, simple yet delicious. Good for the tummy. They prepare the dishes freshly as soon as you order. We asked them for spicy mutton curry and they made it specially for us. The owners are very sweet and made us feel at home. We had veg Thali, chicken curry, banana custard, mutton curry (loved it), veg sandwiches (we ordered this everytime, so light and yummy), mughlai dal (loved). I can't remember the other food items that we ordered but we liked it all. They use less spice, so if you want the food to be more spicy you can ask them. Apart from food, we found out that the owner's son is a guide, so we hired him for Taj. He guided us well and thanks to him no one bothered us there.

Very cute place! Very very nice people, feels like home, they prepare the food fresh and with a lot of love! I can only recommend this place highly!
Thank you for having us and for your great food and company 🙏🏻

Such a lovely restaurant! We enjoyed our time and especially the food so much. It's all cooked by the wife of the family and made with so much love. I definitely recommend this place!

We were here on Feb23. Very nice homemade cook by the owner!
Cheese burger very cheesy! Less oil or salt compare with other Indian places. My parents like it 👍 highly recommend!

Really lovely home cooked meal in Agra, the owners are a lovely family who will take very good care of you! It was a nice touch to be able to see into the kitchen and talk to the lady cooking. The butter naan was the best I’ve had in India so far. I would definitely go back

The location is quite good exactly beside the main road. The interiors & furnitures were simple, colourful and pleasing to my eyes.
The food was also quite satisfactory viewing the quantity & quality.
I ordered for a Chicken Biriyani ; and the best part is it was not so oily but the taste was surprisingly nice.
The price was affordable.
The best part was the homely behavior & treatment of the owner - this factor pleased me alot.

The ambience was just like my house. The food was freshly prepared to our request of non spicy for my in laws. It was served by the husband and cooked by the wife. Such warm and humble people. The food was delicious and would recommend every one to go there. They deserve a 5 Star rating everytime.

Lovely place. Genuinely delicious home cooked food. The owner Naim is friendly
and attentive and his wife Ashair is a spectacular cook.
