Varada Café - Fine Dining At Our Hotel In Bodhgaya

In the café, Varada, one can enjoy the delicious international buffet or delicacies from the à-la-carte menu featuring popular dishes from across the world accompanied by revitalizing beverages.

 

The café is associated with the Buddhist wisdom of Varada meaning 'giving and sharing'. The look and feel of the café is very earthy. There are the characteristic terracotta vaults, exposed brick walls on one side with niches adorned with the Bodhi leaf motif and large brass lights hung from the ceiling resembling Buddhist prayer wheels. The wooden furniture exudes old-world charm and feeling, yet is very contemporary in style and construct. The collective effect resonates the rustic simplicity and earthiness of the Buddhist philosophy.

Architecturally the café is a beautiful long space with a large volume that connects to the outdoors on three sides offering scenic views through the large picture windows from floor to ceiling. One side the café looks to the courtyard through the veranda, and the side overlooks the serene lotus water bodies. The remaining side opens to a courtyard with a frangipani tree at the centre, that features that outdoor seating.
