So, with my curiosity, I decided to embark on a food tour. And let me tell you what I found!
- Almost every corner of Udaipur told a delicious food story.

Why Udaipur’s Street Food Scene Stands Out
After enjoying numerous local foods and interacting with locals, I realized that Rajput rulers of the Mewar Region influence food. And locals make the best use of locally available ingredients.
Question: What is the secret of the authentic flavour of local foods in Udaipur?
Answer: An innovative mix of;
- Spices

- Seasonal vegetables
List Of The Best Street Food, Udaipur
When I visited Udaipur, the street food became my ultimate travel highlight. Let me walk you through my experience of savouring the city’s culinary treasures throughout the day!
Morning Delights
- Poha
My mornings in Udaipur began with a plate of poha that felt like sunshine on my plate. The soft rice, turmeric, and mustard seeds came alive with a generous coriander sprinkle and a lime squeeze. It was light yet energizing.
- Aloo and Paneer Paratha
Breakfast got heavier and more delicious as I had hot parathas stuffed with spiced aloo or paneer. The tang of pickles and the coolness of yoghurt were the perfect accompaniments.
- Hing Kachori
I couldn’t resist these small, deep-fried delights. The aroma of asafoetida drew me in, and the first bite of spicy lentil stuffing and tangy chutney was just something else.
Midday Munchies
- Masala Papad
By midday, I needed something light yet flavorful, and masala papad was delivered. The crunch of the papad topped with onions, tomatoes, and a squeeze of lemon was a refreshing pick-me-up.
- Methi ke Gotay
These fenugreek fritters were one of my favourite midday snacks. Crispy on the outside and soft inside was warm, earthy, and paired perfectly with a Pudina (Mint) chutney.
- Dal Baati Churma
You can’t leave Udaipur without trying this traditional Rajasthani dish. I enjoyed it near the ghats in the middle of the day. The smoky baati, rich dal, and sweet churma were harmonious flavours, making it the perfect lunch meal.
Evening and Night Cravings
- Mirchi Vada
The chilly evenings called for a fiery snack. These stuffed, deep-fried green chillies packed a punch but left me craving more. A must-try for spice lovers like me!
- Rabdi Malpua
I saved this decadent dessert for my final night. The malpua, soaked in creamy rabdi and topped with nuts, was pure decadence. It felt like a celebration of my food journey in Udaipur.
- Doodh with Jalebi
Late at night, I treated myself to this heavenly combo. The warm milk balanced the syrupy sweetness of the crisp jalebis. It was comforting and indulgent, wrapping up my day sweetly.
Find The Crispiest Kachoris
Pyaz and Aloo kachori are Udaipur’s favourite snacks, and I tried them at two locations during my trip.
- Jagdish Misthan Bhandar- 16 Sarang Marg Surajpole, Jawahar Nagar

Enjoy Street Delight Beyond Traditional Rajasthani Delights
Having a cup of Cold Coffee or a Hot Cup of Coffee from the Sai Sagar coffee house is just something else. Sipping this beverage while admiring Fateh Sagar Lake with a sunset backdrop does not make you feel guilty for not trying something Rajasthani Cuisine.
