“ Really incredible food with a lot of heart and local history (3 generations), we watched as they brought in fresh produce throughout the evening and everything was made from scratch in an impressively tiny kitchen. The service was fantastic and we loved everything we ordered! Hard to beat a place like Joneys! ”
“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best place I’ve eaten in Agra — especially being so close to the Taj Mahal. After dealing with a lot of crowded and less clean spots around the area, Joney’s Place was a huge relief. The restaurant was very clean, comfortable, and well run. The food was excellent — I had mughlai chicken with rice, fresh mango juice, and milk tea, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. What really makes this place stand out is the people. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they speak English very well, which makes everything easy and stress-free. Prices are great, service is quick, and the whole experience just feels honest and reliable. If you’re visiting the Taj Mahal and want a clean, trustworthy place with great food, this is hands down the spot. I would absolutely come back. ”
