Agra
saw the peak of its development during the Mughal era and it was the Mughals
who had the maximum influence on its culture and heritage. Similarly, one
can also taste this influence in the famous Mughlai cuisine of Agra, which
is relished since years. The Mughlai cuisine mostly includes sumptuous
non-vegetarian dishes like Kababs, Kormas and curries which involve abundant
use of curd, cream, nuts, almond sauce and an amalgam of carefully selected
spices.
Apart from the Mughlai, Agra is also popular all over India for its Pethas,
a rose water flavored sweet made from pumpkin and glucose. Almost every
visitor to Agra takes a few packets of Pethas back home. Dal moth, a kind of
snack, is also one of the specialties of the city. In the winter season, you
can also buy Gajjaks, sweet biscuits made from sesame seeds and jaggery.
If you want to taste these delectable delights, you can come to the Taj
Ganj area, where you will find no dearth of good restaurants, especially the
ones specializing in Agra cuisine. These restaurants serve almost the same
kind of food and is quite affordable too. One of the popular food joints of
Agra is Shankara Vegis Restaurant, which is a rooftop restaurant serving
vegetarian food. Here you can also enjoy indoor games such as carom.
Other reputed restaurants include Stuff Makers in Hotel Kamal, which gives
an experience of eating in a thatched hut and a terrace view of the Taj
Mahal. This restaurant also provides packed stuff like pancakes, sauces and
honey.
