Where to Eat in Dwarka
Eating out in Dwarka is built around the temple day. Most restaurants, dining halls and snack stalls sit on Temple Road and in the lanes around the Dwarkadhish Temple, so it is easy to eat between darshan times. A few larger restaurants are out on the highway, which suits families travelling by car.
Every place listed here is pure vegetarian. Have a Gujarati thali for lunch, fafda jalebi or khaman in the morning, and a light khichdi kadhi dinner after the evening darshan.
