We had our lunch here one Friday, because the Taj Mahal is closed on that day. It was cloudy but we were patient and we were rewarded with the stunning view we had hoped for. Unlike some other posters, we enjoyed our meal and were pleased with the service provided by the waiters. We also were impressed that there was... More

Ok, yes the view is good- but actually a couple doors down at the Om Shanti rooftop restaurant the view it even better. The first thing we noticed was the thousands of flies. If you want to eat your meal looking like the kids on the African charity commercials then have at it! The staff who work there barely had... More

On the roof up several flights of stairs the Shanti offers great views of the Taj- handy if you've arrived on a Friday when it's closed, or want a final gaze before departure. The food is pretty dismal, you're probably safest at breakfast time with an omlette and toast.

The view is magical from the rooftop over the buildings you can see the taj perfectly - a great place to head for a beer to watch the sun set and taj glow pink. The food was pretty average and the toilet up there as one of the worst in India - and that is saying something

The title says it all - good for a beer while you watch the sunset over the Taj Mahal. The toilet was pretty dreadful, and reading the rest of these reviews I'm glad I didn't eat there.

I stayed in Agra for 4 full days and stopped by the Shanti for lunch for maybe 3 of those days. I thought the food at the Shanti was pretty good. I liked everything that I ordered. Staff can be slow to get to you if you stop by dinner where it tends to get more crowded.

I passed the kitchen to get to the tables and view of the Taj Mahal. I could only stomach a soft drink and I did not use their straws. I wiped the bottle top before I drank it. The state of the kitchen would ensure that I would never eat anything there. Needs a major clean up!
