What people say, in short
Gazra Cafe, which commenters place opposite Sursagar Lake, is recommended by many people, mostly for its Indian snack menu and relaxed vibe. Diners single out dishes like thepla nachos, kothimbir vadi, sandwiches, vada pav and sabudana vada, and one visitor ranks their vada pav among their best ever. The caveats: two diners find the food bland or overrated, several consider it pricey, one notes small portions, one found the evening ambience oddly quiet and empty, and one former regular stopped going after being pushed out over a strict two-hour seating rule and average, overpriced coffee and drinks.
