Dining · Gobindgarh Fort, Amritsar

Street food,
inside the walls.

Zaika Gali is laid out as a traditional Punjabi street — hand-painted carts, canopy seating in summer, bonfires in winter, and Amritsar’s own food served without a set menu.

The courtyard, summer seating

01 The street

Not a food court. A street, built on purpose.

Zaika Gali sits inside Gobindgarh Fort, built as a Punjabi street rather than a row of counters: hand-painted wooden carts made by local artisans, food cooking in the open, and tables set out in the courtyard.

Nothing here is sold as a combination or a compulsory set. You walk the street, order what you want from whichever cart, and sit wherever there is space — which is how a food street is supposed to work.

The seating changes with the season. Canopies cover the courtyard through the summer; in winter the fire comes out and part of the seating moves indoors.

02 What to eat

Amritsar, from the tandoor out.

Tickets & timings →
Amritsari kulcha Straight from the tandoor
Gol-gappe Crisp, tangy water
Tikki Griddled and spiced
Chaat Sharp, cold, sweet
Kulfi Creamy, slow-set
Beyond Punjab For other palates

Sweet, spicy, tangy or sour — the counters cover all four, and a few dishes from outside Punjab for anyone who wants them. No fixed combinations, no compulsory sets: order at the cart.

03 Through the year

Two versions of the same street.

Summer

Under the canopies

Coloured canopies go up across the courtyard and the tables sit beneath them, beside the hand-painted carts. Fans run on the canopy posts and the street stays open into the evening.

Winter

By the fire

Bonfires are lit in the courtyard and part of the seating moves indoors. Same counters, same menu — a warmer room and a fire to stand around.

Walk-in seating · Open daily 10:00–22:00 · Inside Gobindgarh Fort · Group bookings on +91 82890 21218

04 Around the fort

Eat, then walk it off.

Zaika Gali is one stop inside a working fort. The bazaar, the heritage walks and the sit-down restaurant are all a few minutes away.

05 Plan your visit

Open daily, inside the fort.

Zaika Gali is walk-in. Entry to the fort and its shows is ticketed, so book ahead on a weekend. Larger groups and private dining can be arranged through the events team.
