MORE INFORMATION

The Back Benchers Cafe & family restaurant, perched above Punjab National Bank on Anta Chauraha Rd, nails the brief for a small-town Indian café: quick service, filter coffee that arrives steaming, and paneer tikka sandwiches that taste like college canteen nostalgia. Bright plastic chairs, a clean loft-style room, and free Wi-Fi make it a reliable stop for Bijlipura parents waiting outside Takshishila Public School or travellers refuelling on the Shahjahanpur bypass; at ₹120 for a cold coffee-and-samosa combo and a 4.3 Google rating earned from locals who value consistency over flair, it punches above its weight without trying to be gourmet.
