Sangam-road family dining — butter chicken, biryani, and tandoor roti for pilgrims who need a table after the holy dip.
Tablecloth after the river
Kohinoor Restaurant feeds the practical hunger that follows ritual — families who have bathed at Triveni Sangam, offered prayers at Hanuman Mandir Sangam, and now want butter chicken without returning to Civil Lines. The dining room is plain; the portions are not.
What to order
Butter chicken and dal makhani anchor North Indian orders; biryani suits groups. Tandoor roti arrives blistered — use it to pace gravies. Lassi or sweet lassi if the kitchen offers it; avoid heavy desserts if you still have a long drive.
Sangam day arc
Dawn dip via Sangam holy dip, temple stop, lunch here, afternoon rest before evening aarti energy. Save Civil Lines café culture for a non-sangam day — Eden Cafe and El Chico reward slower heritage pacing.
Visitor tips
- Ideal post-[Sangam holy dip](/destinations/prayagraj/experiences/sangam-holy-dip) when you need protein and chairs
- Lunch packs with pilgrim groups — arrive before 1 PM or after 3 PM

Visitor questions
Short auto ride from the sangam ghats — ask drivers for Kohinoor on the sangam road; traffic varies during mela season.
