Ask anyone in Guna where to go for a proper non-veg dinner, the kind with smoky tandoori starters, a rich mutton curry and hot butter naan, and Hotel Varun on AB Road is one of the first names you will hear. Since 1991, our kitchens have served chicken, mutton, egg and fish dishes to hotel guests, local families and travellers stopping in Guna on the way between Bhopal, Gwalior and Indore.
If you are searching for a non veg restaurant in Guna that is clean, family-friendly and consistent on every visit, this guide covers what to order, where to sit and how to plan a non-veg meal for a group.
Guna’s street food scene is famous for kachori, poha and jalebi (see our street food guide), but for a sit-down non-veg meal, a good restaurant kitchen makes all the difference.

Winter Is Grill Season at The Terrace Grill
Cool Guna evenings from November to February are the best time of year for rooftop grills. The Terrace Grill on our top floor serves sizzling starters under an open sky, with a bar for cocktails and mocktails.
Non-veg starters to try:
- Tandoori Chicken: The classic, marinated and charred in the tandoor
- Chicken Tikka: Boneless, smoky and perfect for sharing
- Malai or Reshmi Kebab: Creamy, mild and a favourite with children
- Chicken Seekh Kebab: Spiced mince on skewers
- Fish Tikka: For those who want something lighter
- Mutton Seekh Kebab: Rich and spicy, best with mint chutney
The Terrace Grill works on a fixed cover concept with starters and a full course meal, which makes it easy to plan a dinner with friends or a date night. Read our rooftop dining guide for tips on the best time to go, or our article on how to choose a hotel with a rooftop restaurant.
Chicken and Mutton Curries at Mosaic

Chicken favourites:
- Butter Chicken: Creamy tomato gravy, the most ordered dish for families
- Kadhai Chicken: Bold spices with capsicum and onion
- Home-style Chicken Curry: Simple, comforting and great with rice
Mutton favourites:
- Mutton Rogan Josh: Slow-cooked, aromatic and deep red
- Mutton Handi or Mutton Curry: Rich gravy, best with tandoori roti

Non-Veg Chinese in Guna
Our Chinese section is a big hit with younger guests and kitty groups.
- Chilli Chicken, dry or with gravy
- Chicken Manchurian
- Chicken Lollipop
- Chicken Fried Rice

Continental for a Change
If you want something different from the usual curry, try our Continental grills: grilled chicken with herbs and sauces, served with vegetables. It is a good choice for business travellers who want a lighter dinner after a long day.
How Much to Order for a Group
Not sure how much non-veg to order? Here is a simple guide our team shares with families.
- For two people: One non-veg starter, one chicken or mutton curry, and three to four breads or one rice
- For four people: Two starters (one tandoori, one Chinese), one chicken and one mutton curry, six to eight breads and one rice
- For six to eight people: Three starters, two non-veg curries and one veg curry, a basket of breads and one biryani
Just tell your server how hungry the table is and we will help you balance the order so nothing goes to waste.
Veg and Non-Veg Together: Perfect for Mixed Groups
In most Guna families, someone at the table is vegetarian. That is never a problem at Hotel Varun. Our menu has a full range of veg dishes, from paneer tikka and dal makhani to veg Chinese, so everyone eats well. If you are coming for an afternoon meal, our guide to the best lunch in Guna has more ideas.
