This wasn’t a sightseeing trip. No forts, no trekA Foodie’s Weekend in Amritsar: A Culinary Pilgrimages, no adventure sports. This was a two-day mission to eat my way through Amritsar, one of India’s greatest food cities. Golden Temple? Sure. But first—Amritsari kulcha.

The challenge? With only two days, I had to make every meal count. Finding the best local joints could have been a hit-or-miss game, but with Bino recommending hidden gems, I knew I was in safe hands.

Day 1: The Street Food Extravaganza

I landed in Amritsar early morning and within an hour, was seated at a decades-old dhaba, waiting for my first bite of legendary kulchas. Served with a crisp, golden crust, stuffed with spicy potato filling, and paired with a dollop of homemade butter—it was nothing short of divine.

The rest of the day was a blur of flavors:

• Lassi so thick you need a spoon at a 70-year-old shop.
• Dal Makhani slow-cooked for 12 hours, served with smoky tandoori roti.
• Amritsari fish fried to crispy perfection, served fresh out of bubbling mustard oil.

By sunset, I rolled into my hotel, stuffed but happy.

Day 2: The Golden Temple & A Meal to Remember

A trip to Amritsar is incomplete without visiting the Golden Temple, so I made it my first stop. It was early morning, and the temple’s golden structure glowed under the soft light, reflecting beautifully in the water.

After spending some time in silence, I made my way to the Langar, the world’s largest free kitchen. No VIP lines, no special treatment—everyone sits and eats together. Simple dal, roti, and kheer—yet somehow, one of the most memorable meals of my life.

The trip ended with one last meal—a plate of piping hot ghee-drenched jalebis before heading to the station.

This wasn’t just a food trip—it was a lesson in culture, history, and hospitality, all served on a plate. Thanks to Bino, I never had to second-guess my choices or waste time searching for where to eat next.
