Raja Ram Lassi Wale – pride of Prayagraj. The most satisfying Lassi in Prayagraj.

I loved the taste and freshness of Lassi, especially in Kulhad (hand-made clay pot). Awesome! Heavenly!

It was thick and creamy. The quantity is more than enough for a person to finish. Totally worth the money.

And then I had one of a different kind of sweet that is Khurchan. First time in my life. Yummilicious!

The owner of the shop is a very friendly person. Had talks. And this is what he has to share:

Raja Ram was my grandfather’s name. The shop opened in 1895. Grandfather’s brother used to sell milk. Later, grandfather started selling lassi.

Earlier only lassi was available. Later on, Paneer, Rabri, Makkhan, Khurchan, Red/Black Gajar (carrot) Halwa, Mawa (khoya) were added.

In starting, 1 paise, 2 paise was the Lassi price. Now the price is 40 rupees per Kulhad.

As the big and small Kulhad is over, nowadays lassi is available in the same size Kulhad.

Otherwise, the price for a small Kulhad was 30 Rs and 60 Rs. for a big Kulhad.

Earlier the shop used to open at 7 in the morning during grandfather’s time and closed at 11 in the daytime.

Earlier curd was used to be stored in 100 big-size earthen pots to make Lassi. Now curd is stored in steel plates because these days earthen pots are not of that good quality. They drop color, so curd is stored in steel plates.

Earlier 100 big-size earthen pots used to finish between 7 am to 11 am.

Earlier there was a queue. There was no other shop selling lassi here in the locality.

Currently, the timings of the shop are from 7 am to 11 pm. 365 days open.

In Holi and Shivratri, we sell Thandai also.

Rabri, Lassi, Curd, and Paneer are for 10 months. Everything else is made only in winter.

Lassi is of normal white color. There is Curd, Sugar, Cream, Rabri added to it. In winter, Saffron Milk is also added to Lassi.

Many people also love to add Makhan into Lassi.

I am the 4th generation. My name is Satyam Vaish. We are locals known as Allahabadi.

Malaiyo is 50 Rs. for 100 gum. Bhurra, Cardamom, and Saffron is added to it while serving.

Here it is called Malai-Makhan. In Banaras, they call it Malaiyo. In Delhi it is called Daulat ki Chaat. At Kanpur it is called Hawa-Hawai and in Mirzapur, it is called Bal-Makhan.

It has many names. It is made only three months in winter.

Malai-Khurchan is 100 gm for 45 rupees. Rabri is Rs. 40 for 100 gm.

Wow-what a piece of information shared. Thank you for sharing. Thanks a ton.

If anyone is a Lassi lover must visit this place at least once to gulp down a glass of flavorful Lassi.

A glass of lassi here will let you feel refreshed in Prayagraj.

Timings: 9:30 am – 9:30 pm (7 days open. Closed only on Holi – festival of colors)

Special Item: Sabzi Dum Aloo (12:30 Noon – 1:30 pm – only for one hour)

1. Sulaki Lal Sri Nath & Sons

2. Netram Moolchand & Sons

Both are famous for their Chauraha (crossroad) that is Sulaki Chauraha and Netram Chauraha. Perfect breakfast spots in Prayagraj, more than 150+ years old eateries, also famous for Desi Ghee Kachori Sabzi.

Sulaki Lal Sri Nath & Sons I have already visited and had Desi Ghee Kachori Sabzi and jalebis. Fabulous it was.

Another day, it was time to visit Netram Moolchand & Sons to have their Desi Ghee Kachori Sabzi and jalebis.

After visiting Chandra Shekhar Azad Park and Anand/Swaraj Bhawan, I was on my way to nearby Katra to visit Netram Moolchand & Sons.

Netram was the father of Moolchand who established Netram Moolchand & Sons in the year 1855.

Currently, the 5th generation – Mukesh Agrawal is running the eatery.

Signature Desi Ghee sweets are Balushahi, Milk cake, Chandrakala, Motichoor Laddu, Kesariya Barfi.

And not to forget fresh, crispy/stuffed hot piping Puri/Kachori served with 3 types of unlimited subzi (taste like homemade), boondi raita, and tamarind chutney in a natural leaf-handmade-biodegradable plate.

Mouthwatering platter.

Vegetables/Sabzi are of three types: 1. Aaloo (potato) Sabzi 2. Baingan (eggplant) Sabzi and 3. Tomato Gravy Sabzi.

There is a slight difference between Puri and Kachori.

Kachori is stuffed with Urad Dal (pulse) and Puri is without any stuffed mixture. The cost is the same i.e., 4 pieces for 80 rupees.

Extra puri if taken will cost Rs. 20.

Timings: 6:30 am – 10:30 pm (7 days open except half-day on Holi – festival of colors)

Many famous personalities visited this eatery such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Shankar Dayal Sharma, Amitabh Bachchan, and many more…

In the end, I requested juicy Desi Ghee Jalebis which got melted in the mouth and was lip-smacking.

Jalebis – My recommendation for sure.

They also sell mini samosas filled with fried aloo having a shelf-life of approximately 15-20 days.

In short, Netram Moolchand & Sons is quite reasonable in the rate and great in taste. Service is very quick.

A must-try place for food lovers. Scrumptious – their preparations. A visit to Prayagraj is incomplete without visiting these eateries. Highly recommended place at least once in Prayagraj. It was an experience.
