Ramphal – A Famous Fruit of Rishikesh

Ramphal – A Famous Fruit of Rishikesh

Ramphal – A Famous Fruit of Rishikesh – This photo was taken at Swarg Ashram near Gita Bhawan in Rishikesh (Uttarakhand)

Ramphal is sweet, sour, tasty, and is good for digestion, beneficial for diabetes patients, and fulfills the deficiency of blood in the body.

Here in Rishikesh, you will get 5 pieces of this fruit for 20 rupees.

It is believed that in Treta Yuga, when Lord Rama killed Ravana, a Brahmin, he was accused of Brahmahatya, for which he came for removal to Rishikesh. Lord Rama tasted this fruit here. Due to this reason, this fruit came to be called Ramphal.

You will get this fruit for almost 12 months a year.

Do try this delicious fruit if you happen to visit Rishikesh.

Poha as Breakfast at Omkarananda Ganga Sadan

Poha as Breakfast at Omkarananda Ganga Sadan

Omkarananda Ganga Sadan is situated at Badrinath Rd, near Taxi Stand, Shivananda Nagar, Muni Ki Reti in Rishikesh (Uttarakhand).

Omkarananda Ganga Sadan is not only famous for its Guest House and Yoga Classes but also has an Annakshetra in the basement.

We requested two bowls of Poha (Rs. 120 each) and two cups of tea (Rs. 50).

The Poha and tea were excellent which you won’t find in the market.

Please Note: Two cups of tea is good enough for 4 customers.

Jai Shri Krishna Dairy Farm – Oldest Lassi Shop in Mumbai

Jai Shri Krishna Dairy Farm is probably Mumbai’s oldest (80/90 years) and most famous/well-known specialty lassi shop, started by Balli Rai, the current owner’s grandfather.

Address: Ranade Road (opposite Nakshatra Shopping Center), Dadar West, Mumbai.

Timings: 10 AM – 10 PM (Open 7 days)

Just a 2-minute walk from Dadar Local Railway Station.

Jai Shri Krishna Dairy Farm is a small shop in the middle of a crowded street that seems to be squeezed between two shops, always crowded with customers. One has to stand in a queue on a busy day. Waiting in the queue is worth it.

It has several thin wooden benches opposite each other, within a thin long alley-like structure, which can seat about 25 customers at a time. Customers sit in long queues waiting for their glass of lassi to arrive.

There is no doubt that the lassi is good and authentic. You will crave more. They serve full glasses of hand-churned creamy, thick, sweet lassi with a layer of malai on top, and they charge Rs 40/- for the full glass. Worth every penny. They have discontinued half glasses.

Anyway, it has a reasonable price and good taste.

I visited the shop twice on foot (advised) as the road was very crowded and parking was a problem.

I loved the lassi. Awesome and refreshing. Worth the hype, I must say. Their lassi is very tempting and excellent with creamy, thick slices of malai. Perfectly balanced in sweetness. Every sip was a delightful flavor that left me wanting more.

Never miss this whenever you are around Dadar Local Railway Station.

Not only was the lassi delicious, but the service was also exceptional i.e., super fast. The quantity of lassi is enough for one person. You must visit this place with your friends and family. Do visit once.

From experience, I can say that what makes lassi great is the sweet fermented yogurt, which should be fresh and slightly sweet. Instead of drinking different juices, drink lassi as it will make your stomach healthy.

I love lassi.

This shop has been open since 80/90 years and still sells glasses of lassi that tastes like hotcakes. What a great experience it was. The lassi made my day. You can also get a parcel too. Tempting. Do try this place. Popular lassi stop in the city. This is a must-have refreshment after shopping.

It is a hidden gem next to Dadar (West) Local Railway Station.

The best part is no gimmicks. Just the essence of a good lassi to quench the thirst.

They make the lassi in front of you. You have to wait for the person to come with a tray full of lassi, and you get your lassi. They make 25-30 glasses of lassi in one set. Very tasty and a must-try during summer.

You will find this kind of lassi only in northern states.

There are other lassi shops in Dadar too, and another famous one is Kailash Mandir in Dadar East. A 5-minute walk from Dadar Local Railway Station.
