In a city steeped in tradition, from its historic buildings to the commercial activities, there is only one family owned restaurant that has endured for 80 incredible, edible years. Crystal Restaurant opened its doors in Amritsar in 1935. Crystal’s authentic brand of multi cuisine cooking became a staple in the city, and has continued in their tradition spanning more than three generations. Crystal has also served many beloved stars from Bollywood, sports, business and society. Today, Crystal has remained an iconic family owned and operated business, where friends regularly come to enjoy tasty sumptuous meals, celebrate a special occasion or share in a romantic evening out in our cozy, inviting restaurant & lounge. The sophisticated yet intimate ambience is just a prelude to the pleasures of the exquisite cuisine complimented by extensive and carefully selected wine cellar.

The most charming thing about this restaurant is it's "untouched setting" over the ages and regardless of this fact, it's fully packed even today. Was reminiscing my childhood days last night!

This was the time when I visited Amritsar. I went to this fine restraunt Crystal. Fine ambiance and good seating arrangement. I ordered Punjabi own daal makhani, tomato soup and tawa chicken. I must say, daalnmakhani was so rejuvenating, one could ever had. The typical punjabi style spices and taste was completely worth having. I also had tawa chicken finest of all. Never had this fine chicken anywhere. Perfect blend of spices and soft delicious chicken in thick curry.

Perfect place for lunch with family. Worth spending on food.

The place is 5-10 minutes from the railway station.
The fall ceiling, mirror lined walls, furniture n the beautiful white walls highlight the fresh n modern style of this place.

Ambience ✔️
Staff ✔️
Restrooms ✔️
Service ✔️

Coming to the food-
I ordered .Paneer Tawa frontier with Garlic naan.
It was flavorsome, highlighting the Mughlai taste in it. The quantity was enough for 3-4 people. It was a bit overpriced, that's the only snag for me !

This place actually lived up to all the good reviews I ever heard about it. Being one of Amritsar’s oldest restaurant, these guys have managed to maintain their food quality and standards up to the mark. I have been happy with my order everytime they deliver and their Chinese food I feel one can never go wrong with.
So if looking for a safe option and yummy indian Chinese food , this place is it .

My daughter was craving for veg Manchow soup during our recent visit to Amritsar and someone had mentioned Crystal to us. We were full from trying street food and didn’t order anything else except the soup and it was very nice. The service was prompt and the place was old world charm ambience and comfy. Wish I could have tried something else too.

Crystal is like a go to place for many as it's comparatively also closer to station so mostly people like to visit for their lunches before heading to station for their afternoon trains . Really like the food here, going on since years. Tawa chicken had my heart but couldn't click but another of my fav one here is Crispy chicken threads. These are basically chicken strips coated in vermicelli. Loved the texture taste everything

Excellent place for foodies who can afford to pay more for quality food.. One of the oldest restaurant of Amritsar which started serving Chinese around eighties of last century... Today it is a full fledged multi cuisine restaurant serving delicacies from all over the world.. An ideal place for visitors to Amritsar... Must try once in order to get addicted to aroma of the food here...

A restaurant in Amritsar which is generally liked by the foreigners as they get the perfect Indian food and the Indian Chinese food as they cannot digest the kulchas there as they are tooo spicy for them. A restaurant which has a very good ambience and the dal Makhani and triple schezwan is something to die for the taste is tooo good and if you go to crystal then definitely try the softy you get outside crystal

Went there for dinner. I ordered Butter chicken with butter naan.
It was good. Served well. Naan should be improve. Some of the corners were black and bitter.
Butter chicken was in excess sweet but can do better.

Old world charm!!

Many people recommended us to at-least have one meal and thus 15 of us landed there for Family Dinner. Must say food was yum and flavourful. Tried both veg and non veg menu options including continental. Everything on the menu tasted great and it's value for money pricing. Service is a bit slow but can be ignored. Restaurant is always full and you will have 10-15 mins waiting time.

Must dine if you are in Amritsar..

Crystal Restaurant is one of the finest dining places in Amritsar . No Matter when you go , you are always welcome with delicious food . Starting with the starters I had Veg Exotica Sizzler . I must say they have one of the best Sizzlers in Amritsar. For main course I had Kadai Paneer and Butter Naan . It was also nice and yummy . So for good food , one can definitely go this place .

The ambience and location is good.the staff and service is also good. I loved the tandoori fish. very soft and fresh , must try. However the tandoori chicken was not as good.It was over cooked and was little chewy. It's a good place I'd you want to eat fish.

The front of the restaurant doesn't tell the full story - the interiors are way more slick thank the exteriors of the restaurant.

The seating is comfortable and the decoration is good, though with vintage touch. The service is great and the food is good.

The portions are large. Had their dal makhni, mixed veg, paneer lababdar and tandoori rotis. The food was just really yummy. Even when we were full, we kept reading the curries. Specially the paneer was great, so was their dal.

We dined at Crystal for lunch during our brief stay at Amritsar. We ordered only vegetarian food as we had to head to the Gurudwara post that.
The food was delicious, the interiors were beautifully done up. The restaurant was quite empty with only two other tables occupied. It was a Wednesday afternoon.

Do stop by Crystal for authentic Punjabi cuisine. I highly recommend their Dal makhani with Lachcha paratha.

The restaurant is in a place which has 3 restaurants with the same name which can confuse a traveller. The restaurant serves all kinds of food but we ordered Punjabi cuisine which consisted of Chicken Reshmi Tikka, Patiala Paneer, Butter Chicken, Amritsari kulcha and naan. All the items tasted good however the Butter chicken could have been better and more authentic. The seating is too cramped which leads to no privacy for a group

Beside the famous different flavoured softies of the place , The resturant at the first floor is a worth to visit place . You might have to wait for your turn, But it's worth waiting for. Once you get on the table , you will realize how great the service is. And beautiful ambience adds icing to the cake. Try Patiala Chicken along with Chilly Chicken. The quick service and great taste at the great place is all what you need for a good evening. This place do it all.Enjoy with your friends/ Family..!

We don't know if the chowk was names after the restaurant OR the restaurant after the chowk. The place is like any 90's era multi cuisine restaurant. The place was pretty empty for a lunch hour with just one more table occupied apart from ours but the positive side this is that my son got an open space to run around without any hinderance. The staff were also helpful and obliged by keeping an eye on my son while we enjoyed our meal. 
After being done with all the parathas we decided to settle for our good old indian chinese food. We ordered for our comfort food Chicken Sweat corn Soup, Veg Manchow Soup, Veg Hakka noodles, Veg Schewan Rice and Fresh Lime Soda. Everything was just as it should taste nothing different or fancy but it was exactly what we were looking for at that time. We concluded our meal with their softy but they were nothing great we have had better in Mumbai.
The staff and service is like I mentioned in my other posts are very hospitable not  only in this restaurant but everywhere around Amritsar.

Crystal has been able to maintain its standard pretty well over the years. Used to visit this place quite regularly with my family when I resided in Amritsar. Not just dine, but even if we wanted to get the food delivered or takeaway, Crystal used to be the first option. In addition to the amazing North Indian food, they serve delicious Chinese that you must try!

Amritsar is known for its street food and dhabas serving authentic Punjabi cuisine, but right in the middle of Amritsar on the edge queens road near the company garden is the only restaurant that serves the mughlai or Indian food as we most know it in style, i have been going to Amritsar since my childhood but have never found a decent place i could call a restaurant until i visited the "Crystal". the place was neat and clean and as i m told this is the old restaurant on the ground floor which has a jazzy twin on the first floor as well as the owners have split, nevertheless the food was fantastic and the service was very nice indeed, the crowd i suppose was the elite gentry of Amritsar.

i totally agree with the number #1 status that the restaurant hold on tripadvisor as it was actually the best i have ever visited in the city in the last 35 years and mind you i travel here every year and sometimes even twice a year

the butter chicken(4.5/5) is a must and so is the Dal makhani(4.5/5) along with their paranth and butter naan
, also the soups are brilliant. the interiors of the place was nice and it gave a very retro feel to the place  
it is very easy to locate and a very cosy place to have dinner with the family

Wow you want the tandoori fish this is the place. Not had anything better anywhere else. This a place with a great Abilene. Seems really popular as the place was full and had people waiting there.
The ambience is very casual with portraits of old English culture which gives a feel of the old raj
Food is good. Tandoori chicken is great and the pudina paratha is good. What I really liked was the chicken Rarhra and the dal If you visit Amritsar want a decent ambience to have good no veg then this is the place to be

Crystal Resturant's main forte is their Continental and Chinese food. The ambience is top class and service very prompt. Most exhaustive menu of Continental food in Amritsar. North Indian dishes are equally good too. Their softy is most famous in Amritsar. Parking is a big hassle always. But its surely worth the pain.

The food is great. As soon as you land to amritsar, I suggest you go to Crystal Cafe it's just near the road. Its a fine dine restaurant with great service. The reshaping kebab is sth you should not miss. Its good beside that plz go with your instinct on which food you want last time I visit3d this place ordered some sandwhich which was a chap guys plz don't do that. But beside that if you want to sit enjoy the chill ac and the food. This is a Great place, I wish this place had some good music.

This is one of the oldest fine-dining places in the city which serves a combination of good food and ambience. The non-veg dishes here taste better than their vegetarian preparations (that's my opinion). The service is a bit slow but I guess that's okay considering they're being double sure about everything before getting a dish out of their kitchen. The Rara Chicken is probably their best and is lip-smacking. The place is premium so it's a little on the costlier side. This makes the place a bit less popular because the locals prefer eating elsewhere. Its mostly frequented by tourists like us. Nothing is really out of the box which deserves a special mention. Everything is just as how you expect it to be at a fine dining place.

Crystal reminds of Kolkata based Park street restaurants slightly Anglo indian and catering to foreign tourists. The menu has Continental, Italian as well as Indian but I decided to stick to indian food.The chicken tikka and amritsari fish was good but mutton biryani was average.I was told by my driver that this is the place where locals go but frankly I would have preferred some dhabba food.
