Tucked along Varanasi’s ancient ghats, Kriva ~ Cafe & Fine Dining reimagines the Indian café as a serene, design-forward sanctuary where specialty single-estate coffees meet slow-cooked Awadhi plates, bridging dawn chai rituals with candle-lit tasting menus under the gaze of the Ganges.

Tucked away on Assi-Lanka Road, Kriva strikes a rare balance between relaxed café culture and refined plating, pouring single-estate Indian arabicas alongside globally accented small plates that arrive looking runway-ready; the 4.7-rating isn’t hype—espresso pulls are textbook, tandoor-baked goat-cheese crostini remain talk-of-table, and service glides without the usual Varanasi rush.

More information
Where exactly is Kriva ~ Cafe & Fine Dining located in Varanasi?
Kriva sits at B, 1/4, Assi–Lanka Road, Anandbagh, Bhelupur, a two-minute walk from Assi Ghat, so you can slip out of the morning aarti and straight into a river-view breakfast without hunting for rickshaws.
Do I need to reserve a table or can I just walk in?
Weekends fill up fast because of the 4.7-star buzz, so a quick call to +91 95556 25050 will lock in a candle-lit rooftop seat; walk-ins still work on quiet weekday afternoons, but you might wait ten minutes for the wood-fired pizza oven to free up.
Is the menu vegetarian-friendly and safe for travellers?
The kitchen is 100 % vegetarian, uses filtered water throughout, and marks every vegan and gluten-free option in English, so travellers can order the pumpkin ravioli or cold brew tonic without second-guessing spice levels or hygiene.
What are the café’s opening hours and closed days?
Kriva keeps the espresso machine humming from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every single day; the only day it goes dark is None—meaning no weekly closure—so you can rely on a late-night tiramisu fix after the Ganga arti any day of the week.
