Discover dining in Gonda
Browse restaurants, cafes and local food spots
Gonda is an unmissable destination in Uttar Pradesh, India, known for its vibrant cultural scene and ancient heritage. The standout attraction is the magnificent Ramleela, a grand Hindu festival reenacting the epic Ramayana, which draws thousands of visitors. One unique thing travellers love is the traditional and delicious local cuisine, particularly the mouth-watering Thandai, a sweet and creamy dessert drink. The best time to visit Gonda is during the Ramleela festival in September-October, when the city comes alive with music, dance, and festivities. For first-timers, a practical tip is to hire a local guide who can take you through the narrow streets and hidden alleys of the old city, revealing its secrets and stories, and helping you navigate the bustling markets.
