New Bread Of Life

A friendly little place with a mighty menu. New Bread of Life was recommended by our hotel a few doors down. We thought, “Why not?” since we could almost fall out of our hotel’s lobby into the restaurant, and we were feeling particularly lazy about battling scooters for walking space to anywhere much farther.

I wasn’t looking for the best paneer butter masala I’ve ever had, but I found it here. Perhaps this is blasphemous, considering the dish’s Delhi origins. I did have it at one of the places in Delhi that is believed to have invented it; theirs was good, but not as good as this, in my opinion.

New Bread of Life’s chef is definitely their secret weapon. His fried rice is excellent. We had the corn soup flavored with ginger—also excellent. We tried the fresh-baked apple pie—excellent. We liked everything enough to return multiple times over the course of our week in Varanasi.

The owner and staff really give you the feeling they’re happy to have you as their guest—this is while you’re sitting there eating, for a pittance, some of the best-tasting dishes anyone has possibly ever prepared for you.

Excellent place for a complete breakfast! Those nostalgic/craving for good bread and pastries of all kinds will be in heaven. The setting is a little rustic, with tables in wood, but pleasant.
????????☕ I took a skillet breakfast, more or less a vegetarian English breakfast, which was tasty but quite light; especially for the price. The coffee was disappointing though.

???? The price is the big downside: a skillet breakfast is ~ 2 times more expensive than a full meal in other city restaurants!

Went to visit this bakery a few times for breakfast and brunch. It’s a cozy old place that looks like it’s an old house converted into a bakery/restaurant.
The menu is simple. We ordered a vegetarian dishes, fried rice and tandoori roti. It was really tasty! The food itself was delicious, but the portion was very small for the price point. If you come here starving, you’ll have to order two or maybe three dishes.
The bakery part of this shop had very few options, not sure if they bake on a different day of the week, but they only had brownies cupcakes, cookies and the apple pie.
I ordered the chocolate cupcake and again, super! They even warm it for you.
The owners were really sweet, helpful and cheerful. Always had a big smile on their faces. Very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, I would recommend this and would love to visit again.
