Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account

One of the best options for vegetarians in Ranchi, Kaveri Restaurant and Catering is a beloved locally owned brand that has been around for ages. My mother would often surprise us with delicious, perfectly crisp masala dosas from here for lunch. I have so many favorites here, it’s difficult to pick just one or two, but I would definitely recommend the chilli paneer and hakka noodles here. You can also never go wrong with the crispy babycorn.

2. Yellow Sapphire

Set in Capitol Hill, Yellow Sapphire has borne witness to several celebrations in my family, including birthdays, anniversaries, and wedding receptions. The food here is always impeccable and will leave you wanting more. My favorite dishes include the melt-in-your-mouth rogan josh and delicious chicken biryani. If you’re looking for vegetarian options, do try the creamy shahi paneer. For a sweet end to your meal, I’d recommend the tiramisu or chocolate roll.

Part of the famous Moti Mahal chain, Moti Mahal Delux Tandoori Trail in Ranchi lives up to its name quite nicely. Moti Mahal’s founder is known for forever changing the food scene in India with dishes such as tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and chicken pakora. In its Ranchi iteration too, the butter chicken is my go-to order and absolutely unmissable. Pair it with garlic naan for an incredible meal.

Cafe BAE is a relatively new but has gained a loyal customer base due to their variety of delicious international cuisine. If you’re here during winter, especially, I would recommend ordering their delicious vegetarian or chicken ramen for yourself and your loved ones. They’ve also recently started offering boba tea, so do try out my personal favorite, taro purple bubble tea, while you’re here.

Originally known as Stuv’s Kitchen, this establishment was started during the COVID lockdown by a group of four women as a cloud kitchen. Today, Stuv’s @ 1157 has its own premises and has retained its comforting homemade quality. This is one of my favorite places to order from, and their ramen is to die for. What’s more, the establishment often organizes food festivals that draw huge crowds to its doors. So, keep an eye out for those!

Stuv's @ 1157

Address: House No. 1409, Gauri Shankar Nagar, North Office Para, Doranda, Ranchi, Jharkhand 834002

Opening hours: 11am - 7pm (daily)

6. The Breaking Bread

An ode to Ranchi’s youthful spirit, The Breaking Bread is delightful for more reasons than its punny name. It’s a great spot for brunches with friends or catch-up outings with loved ones. If you’re coming here for brunch, I’d suggest trying one of their burgers served with fries or the fluffy pancakes and maple syrup. If you’re like me and find it hard to resist desserts, you can also try one of their many cookies or donuts.

If you need a spot to spend energetic weekend nights, Hooch Bar & Restaurant is the place to be. Tap your foot to upbeat music and be mesmerized by the many lights as you enjoy a refreshing drink. It has everything from sweet mocktails with fresh fruits to delicious single malt scotch, so everyone will be satisfied.

You’ll also find a full food menu here with both Indian and international options. If you’re up for something heavy, I enjoy the butter chicken here. For lighter options, you can check out gobi manchurian.
