What people say, in short
Gyan Vaishnav draws repeated recommendations for vegetarian meals, with several commenters identifying the Gumti location. Simple, home-style food and value recur in the praise, rather than an elaborate dining setting. One diner especially likes the kheer and describes it as a down-to-earth restaurant or dhaba. Another explicitly recommends the Gumti place when asked for a pure-vegetarian restaurant. Ambience views differ, though: one diner personally disliked the ambience, while another individual likes the food but finds the setting average and unsuitable for a date.
