Pinch of Spice is one of the most frequently recommended restaurants in Agra, though commenters may be referring to different outlets across the city rather than one specific location. One commenter names the rara gosht, and another recommends the dal makhani. One commenter recommends the Sanjay Place branch for a proper sit-down meal with a fuller spice level than the tourist-oriented Fatehabad Road branch. A few caveats exist: one diner found the butter chicken underwhelming, another felt the restaurant was a little overrated, and one reported a short wait at lunch.

Achman at Bhagwan Talkies is a pure vegetarian, mid-priced family restaurant that many people recommend, with one diner, who ate there long ago and does not know how the food is now, praising dishes like malai kofta, navratan curry and kashmiri dum aloo while disliking the chickpeas curry, and another, a longtime fan of the restaurant, praising its chana masala and veg bomb. One longtime customer says the taste has stayed consistent over two decades, though a couple of commenters feel quality has slipped a little and one diner separately warns that the place feels like an old bar with a negative vibe and serves below-average food, and also reports being embarrassed in front of guests on a first visit. One visitor finds the stuck-in-the-2000s ambience nostalgic, like stepping back into childhood, though the same person cautions that the food can be a gamble at times.
