tropical tones offset against snow-white walls. Adding a dash of class is the prim Citrus
Café, and the Slounge bar, where you can down a drink while hustling a fellow traveller in
a game of pool. It's one place you're sure to have a nice stay.

Handy to
the train station, snazzy-lobbied VITS goes by the motto 'Guest. Rest. Best'. What that
basically means is you have a delightfully luxurious room to flop about in, packed with all
the usual luxe features you'd find in top-end hotels. Staff are eager to put you up, so it's
worth asking for a discount here.
Eating
Hotel Panchavati
(Station Rd West; mains ?60-280)
The 'family' restaurant at this budget hotel has a Chinese and
Korean menu in addition to an extensive Indian menu. We can highly recommended its
Korean food and tandoori chicken, as well as the cold beer. Ambience isn't a selling point
here, but you can watch the soccer on the TV.

Swad offers a great range of Indian snacks and
staples, such as dosas, plus a few pizzas, ice creams and shakes, in its clean basement
premises. Try the Gujarati thali, an endless train of dishes that diners gobble up under the
benevolent gaze of patron saint swami Yogiraj Hanstirth, whose portrait illuminates a far
wall of the restaurant.
