Agra the former capital of Hindustan, is a city on the banks of the river Yamuna in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is 363 kilometres (226 mi) west of the state capital, Lucknow, 200 kilometres (124 mi) south of the national capital New Delhi and 125 kilometres (78 mi) north of Gwalior . With a population of 1,686,976 (2010 est.), it is one of the most populous cities in Uttar Pradesh and the 19th most populous in India.[4] Agra can also refer to the administrative district that has its headquarters in Agra city. It is a major tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era buildings, most notably the Tāj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpūr Sikrī, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Agra is included on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi and Jaipur. The city is mentioned in the epic Mahābhārata, where it was called Agrevaṇa ("the border of the forest"). Legend ascribes the founding of the city to Raja Badal Singh, a Sikarwar Rajput king (c. 1475), whose fort, Badalgarh, stood on or near the site of the present fort. However, the 11th century Persian poet Masūd Sad Salmān writes of a desperate assault on the fortress of Agra, then held by the Shāhī King Jayapala, by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni. Sultan Sikandar Lodī was the first to move his capital from Delhi to Agra in 1506. He died in 1517 and his son, Ibrāhīm Lodī, remained in power there for nine more years, finally being defeated at the Battle of Panipat in 1526. Between 1540 and 1556, Afghans, beginning with Sher Shah Suri ruled the area. It achieved fame as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1556 to 1658.

Famous as one of the wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal at Agra, India, is epitome of true love and passion. The Taj Mahal was built by the famous Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaj Mahal. The architectural beauty and magnificence of the Taj Mahal has never been surpassed. It is said to be the most beautiful monument built by the Mughal rulers and represents the zenith of the Mughal architecture. Built entirely out of white marbles, the beauty of the Taj Mahal is beyond description. The beauty of the Taj Mahal has been aptly summarized by the famous English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold, as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperors love wrought in living stones."

Went on a Friday evening; the food we ordered was reasonably priced and delicious, and the restaurant itself was lively and had a good vibe when we went in to pick it up. The staff working was very friendly and we had a great conversation together, and they threw in some free rice pudding on our way out! Overall a great little spot that well definitely be back to soon.

Pretty good! Ordered sag paneer, spinach with cheese, and it was creamy. I got moderate spiciness and it was as advertised. The naan was moist and fluffy, and wasnt hard even the next morning. (Interpret that how you will). They even brought out a piece of flaky bread for me while I waited to pick up my order.

Absolutely delicious! Agras dishes (from soup to apps to entrees) have distinct vibrant flavors without the heavy, too rich, fattiness that sometimes plagues this cuisine. Maybe the best new restaurant to open in Greenpoint this year.

Went here with my friend. Spoons and dishes used to serve where old and dirty. Told the manager to bring new utensils but he yelled at us that the utensils are good enough. We left the resturant immediately.

Their lunch special was flavorful, inexpensive, and enough food to take some home. While their lassi was lackluster, the food and service made for a delightful lunch.
