The best restaurants MARWAR

You will find some Rajasthani specialties and a 100% vegetarian menu in this restaurant run by a Jain family. You can enjoy the pleasant garden in the shade of trees and the facade of this beautiful haveliin red stone. And if it is very hot, the air-conditioned dining room is quite pleasant too, although a bit dark. The limited menu offers a tasty cuisine, not too spicy. Indians and Western tourists know where to find quality at the right price and the tables are crowded at meal times.

One of the oldest and most popular restaurants in the city. The uniformed staff will serve you delicious Indian and Rajasthani cuisine. The dishes are well presented on the plate and delight the taste buds. We recommend the excellent tandoori dishes. As the restaurant is very popular, it is better to book in high season. In the evening, a group of musicians is there to entertain the customers with their folk music. Comfortably seated at a low table in one of the corners, you will enjoy the illuminated view of the city.

You'll have to climb several flights of stairs to reach the roof of this beautifully appointed little café. Mattresses on the floor covered with colorful drapes, large cushions, low wooden tables and carpets, that's the setting. Prefer the tables at the back which look directly onto the fort. The café offers an impressive menu with no less than 17 ways to prepare chicken! The service is a bit slow and nonchalant, but very nice. And the wifi works perfectly. A good place to rest for a while, on the terrace or in the room.

This restaurant located on the roof of the hotel Pal Haveli is famous for its exceptional location. In the evening, whether on the terrace or in a room with bay windows, the setting is enchanting. Very professional, the waiters are attentive. We recommend the chicken Labaddar: grilled chicken, cooked in a butter and tomato sauce, an improved version of the butter chicken. The view on the city, the fort and the clock is magnificent! The setting is perfect for a candlelit dinner for two. Very romantic.

Who doesn't know the Omelette Shop? It is impossible to stay in Jodhpur without seeing this famous man who sells hard-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs... and especially omelets. His stand is located on the left side of the Sardar Market entrance, on the old city side. Victim of his success, Ramkishan Gwalani faces many traders who try to imitate him, even if some of them have closed down with the Covid-19 pandemic. While enjoying a good cheese masala omelet, take a look at his guest books; they are very funny!

Among the specialties of this shop: bhang in all forms. Lassi, fruit juices, cookies, cakes, chocolate... For those who have not heard of bhang, it is a preparation made from cannabis leaves. In this region, Indians are fond of it, especially during religious festivals. This official store is approved by the government. Nothing illegal, but beware, some bhang can be very strong. Some tourists attracted by the thrill have had the bad experience.

This is a charming restaurant where you can enjoy good Italian cuisine. Whether you sit inside on cushions, amidst colorful drapes and traditional handicrafts, or on the outdoor terrace, you will be seduced by the enchanting setting. At night, you have a front row seat to the illuminated fort. You'll love what you have on your plate: lasagna, pasta, salads, soups, pizzas cooked over a wood fire. And not to spoil anything, the welcome is warm. Like a taste of Italy...

Fancy a thali? Try this restaurant... or rather this regular canteen which is located on the street. It offers thali with local flavors at low prices. At first sight, the place doesn't look like much, but don't be fooled by appearances. You will have a king's meal here at an unbeatable price, far from the small cafés for tourists in the Blue City. On the other hand, the service is sometimes a bit slow and it is better not to have a train to catch. The restaurant is located in a lively area, between the Clock Tower and the train station.

Located on the top terrace of the rather old Stepwell House, the Jharokha 360° offers one of the most beautiful views of the Mehrangarh fort in the blue city. You feel very small in the shadow of the imposing iconic silhouette. The terrace has been very nicely furnished, with beautiful armchairs and sofas adorned with cream cushions that surround wooden coffee tables with metal legs. The menu offers a tour of North India with few suggestions, but they are effective: kebabs, tandoori chicken, lal maas or biryani.

Here the atmosphere is romantic with a panoramic view of the illuminé. Candles, precious dishes and juponnées tables reinforce the charm of the atmosphere. A wide choice of dishes that honour local gastronomy. Everything is based on fresh products. Gently airy this restaurant on the roof of Sonaar Haveli is a real enchantment. During the summer season, the restaurant moved to the ground floor in an air-conditioned room decorated on the theme of the grenade. Anaar Bagh meaning orchard of grenadiers. Booking recommended.

In a quiet corner of the citadel, you may pass by the sign with a picture of the Dalai Lama inviting you to climb the few steps to enter this small restaurant. They serve good momos, but not only... The menu is so long that you will be spoilt for choice. Not everything is great, but the terrace is very pleasant. We appreciate that it is partially covered, especially during the day when the sun is shining. Since the discovered part, we benefit from a beautiful sight on the city.

Opened in 2018, this small café set below the fort is a real success story. Ignore the tiny room on the first floor to take shelter under the covered terrace upstairs. The setting is eclectic, messy and colorful just like the owner. Many backpackers find refuge here for a solid breakfast, a coffee, the time to write their logbook, or a meal before jumping on a bus or a train for their next destination. The service is a bit nonchalant, so it's better not to be in a hurry.

You just have to go up the street on the left from the main square at the top of the fort to find this little restaurant. It is located just after the long wall of the Rani Mahal, the palace of the Queens. Its colorful front, painted in the colors of Tibetan prayer flags, invites to spend a happy moment. The room, a little dark and sad, is to be left behind. You have to climb the two floors to the tiny terrace to enjoy the view on the old palace of Jaisalmer and a meal with momos, the Tibetan ravioli.

Located near the train station, on the main street, Amberwalla is a good place to try some South Indian specialties or to enjoy a hearty thali. Only good vegetarian dishes are served in this air-conditioned room. You will find there a local canteen atmosphere with a rather ordinary setting and an expeditious service, which does not seem to disturb the exclusively Indian clientele. For a small price, the Amber thali is an excellent choice, tasty and very nourishing. Restaurant not to be missed for the small budgets.

On the first floor of this flashy building, the fast-food, and on the first floor, the restaurant. You will be able to taste South Indian specialities such as dosa, idli or vada, but also Chinese dishes(chowmein), pizzas, sandwiches and burgers. The Indian specialties are quite delicious, especially the potato and onion curry, the best in Rajasthan. They only serve vegetarian specialties in a huge and rather sad room. The location near the train station is perfect to eat before catching a train.

This good little restaurant is located just in front of the fort. It is regularly visited by tourists before or after the visit of the Junagarh, but also by a young clientele, because the restaurant is also a "coffee bar" serving a whole range of coffees, mochas and fresh fruit juices. You can eat outside on the terrace with a view of the fort, or inside, without a view but in a cool place. On the menu, Indian and Chinese dishes. Try if you haven't already the lal maas or the ker sangri, it's amazing, typical of Rajasthan and very good.
