Famous as the home of the Golden Temple that is the holiest shrine for the Sikhs, Amritsar is the PunjabEUR(TM)s capital immersed deep in religious as well as royal history and culture to leave each tourist in absolute wonder. The Darbar Sahib is famous as the glorious Golden Temple all over the world with its striking Gurudwara and the serene lake with the holy water. Talking about the culture, it can be felt in every nook and corner of the city, especially during festivals of Lohri (around 14th Jan) and Baisakhi (in mid April) and by tasting the local delicacies.
Tasting the authentic local varieties in the city is a must for all tourists, as that is what tells you about the hearts of people living here. Well, the tasty delicacies simply convey about the big heart that the residents have here in serving their guests with hospitality. You can experience this profoundly by eating the fulfilling pristine langar at the Golden Temple. The religious scriptures of Sikhs tell them that a true Sikh will always look after the needs of his neighbors who are poor and that whenever a pilgrim or traveler from a foreign country comes to his place, he must serve him affectionately. As a result, the Langar is served to everyone, irrespective of caste, creed, color, and religion. Believe it or not; the purely cooked Langar is very delicious and fulfilling.
Other place to experience the taste of Punjab is a local dhaba (roadside food outlet). These outlets have their own spicy and sweet delicacies on offer to give you a traditional treat at affordable rates. One of the most popular dhabas is Bharawan Da Dhaba located in the Town Hall area, which is admired for its mouthwatering delicacies at very reasonable prices. The most delicious items served here are stuffed naan (a kind of roti), Chhole Bhature (Big Puri with spicy chickpeas), and Lassi (sweet drink made from a yogurt or buttermilk base).
On the Lawrence road, the Kanha Sweets centre is also worthy of your time and money. It is famous for its several lip-smacking breakfast specialties to make you start your day with a great treat. If you are here, do taste the puris cooked in clarified butter, chhole, and a sour potato dish.
As a tip, it is best to stay in one of the serviced apartments in Amritsar where you can learn and cook the traditional delicacies affordably.
