Foodies have often heaped praises on Rajasthani cuisine and restaurants in Rajasthan have successfully capitalized on the visitors’ love of Rajasthani food. A great mix of traditional and contemporary, Rajasthan restaurants can dish out anything from Daal-Baati-Churma to Fish n Chips.
Best Places to Eat in Rajasthan
Peshawari
One of the three restaurants in ITC Rajputana, Peshawari serves delectable north Indian food – vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The hotel also has a bar stocking premium international and IMFL brands.Lassiwala
Obvious from its name, Lassiwala is the best place to gulp down a tall delicious glass of the Indian Lassi (sweetened buttermilk). There are several imposters by the same name. So make sure you double check the address.Suvarna Mahal
The Suvarna Mahal at Rambagh Palace Hotel in Jaipur is the perfect venue to enjoy quality Indian fare in a relaxed ambiance. The dimly lit interiors and soft music playing in the background only add to the experience of a delightful evening.Kalyan Restaurant
Excellent rooftop restaurant with indoor dining as well. The restaurant also has high speed WiFi for usage. Arguably the best value for money restaurant in Jaipur. Kalyan Restaurant does NOT serve non-vegetarian food.1st Gate Home-Fusion
Owned and maintained by an Italian national, the 1st Gate Home-Fusion is just opposite the Jaisalmer Fort, that itself should be enough to describe its location! The restaurant is inside a hotel and is particularly known for its courteous staff.Okra
The Okra is an all day dining restaurant, i.e. it is open for service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Probably the best place in town for trying the sushi. The restaurant also offers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner.Barbeque Nation Jaipur
Like with all Barbeque Nation outlets across the world, this one too is Disneyland for non-vegetarians. Once here, you must try their all-you-can-eat meals. The staff even sings carols if it’s someone’s birthday in your group.The Rajput Room, Jaipur
Grandeur meets gourmet at the Rajput Room in Rambagh Palace. Very good ambiance, an equally good and attentive staff and a really well stocked bar – the Room has got everything going for it.Jaiwana Haveli Rooftop Restaurant, Udaipur
The restaurant is on the fourth floor of the Jaiwana Haveli on the eastern shore of Lake Pichola. Only a few steps from Udaipur’s City Palace, the restaurant’s rooftop location makes for a really romantic setting.Pushkar’s Café, Udaipur
Pushkar’s Café is one of those places you’ll find to be extremely laid back. Often a favorite with foreign backpackers, bhang lassi (sweet buttermilk made from cannabis extracts) is the most ordered beverage here!Millets of Mewar, Udaipur
Sit back and enjoy your meal or enroll in a cooking class yourself – if you have time on your hands, there’s no better place than Millets of Mewar. The restaurant has an impressive collection of recipe books to keep you interested while your food is getting ready.Raas Leela, Udaipur
If outdoor dining is more your style, the Raas Leela is where you should head to, when in Udaipur. Set in natural surroundings, close to Lake Pichola, this restaurant specializes in Continental and Chinese cuisine.Bal Samman Lake Palace, Jodhpur
Overlooking the adjacent swimming pool, the Bal Samman Lake Palace is where you’d ideally have high teas. The restaurant is inside a medieval fort that looks formidable in the morning sun.Hanwant Mahal
The Hanwant Mahal restaurant is perfect for business lunches and entertaining clients. The restaurant affords great views of the Umaid Bhawan. Dig in some sumptuous Rajasthani food while you enjoy folk dance performances by local dancers.Ambrosia Restaurant
For absolute non-vegetarians, none could be a better place than Ambrosia restaurant. Phenomenal butter chicken served in cabanas in the open.
