In Amritsar they say, a lassi a day keeps bad things at bay and we couldn't agree more! Going to Amritsar and not gulping down a tall glass of lassi is a HUGE mistake. Made with pure love, malai and tons of sugar, it’s the perfect drink to life your spirits, we reckon and costs just 30-40 bucks a pop! Here are a few handpicked places for the best lassi in town:

1. Ahuja Milk Bhandar

Ask any localite, Ahuja Milk Bhandar is the first name that pops up when someone says lassi! Best known for its Kesar Lassi, they’ve managed to keep the taste consistent ever since they opened! Never too sweet, nor too thick, they sell the best lassi in huge glasses with a dollop of white butter on top! We’d recommend trying the Kesar Lassi and phirni!

2. Gian Chand Lassi

One of the oldest lassi joints in town that's famous amongst the locals and celebrities alike, Gian Chand Lassi is a modest lil joint placed in the local market. The lassi here is thick in consistency, sweetened right and also has a good amount of malai in it! *drooling*. They also make some mouth watering Indian sweets, and the Milk Cake is a must try.

A small, iconic place with its own desi charm, New Munim Di Hatti serves the perfect glass of cold lassi for a hot day! The lassi is a meal in itself, full of sugar and malai and one glass is enough to keep you satiated for hours! There are a wide range of mithais available here and we’d recommend getting your hands on the delicious Atta Pinni.
