Jaipur Restaurants

  1. Ganesh Restaurant

    This pocket-sized outdoor restaurant is in a fantastic location on the old city wall. There's no English menu and not much English spoken, but if you're looking for a local eatery with fresh tasty food you'll love it.

  2. Gayatri's

    This pleasant, clean multicuisine restaurant whips up superb curries in healthy portions. The Kashmiri dam aloo (a traditional Kashmiri dish made with potatoes and spices) is a winner.

  4. Mohan

    This popular chow pit is grubby on the outside, but prepares freshly cooked food on the inside. The name is in Hindi and it's on the corner of the street, a few steps down from the pavement.

  5. Niro's

    Niro's has been on duty for more than 50 years, and still pumps out classic Indian fare and piped muzak. Under a mirrored roof, masses tuck into veg and nonveg dishes. The murg malai (chicken and cheese) kebabs and began bharta (aubergine) still head the list.

  6. Palace Café

    A welcome respite from the tourist shuffle, Palace Café has classy Indian food, measured service, and a no-nonsense team of chefs who won't be hurried. It's better at night, when it's cool enough for alfresco dining.

  7. Spice Court

    This relaxed clubhouse restaurant, with a blue tiled roof and a splendid evening courtyard, is an excellent place to escape the hum of the city (but not the hum of Hindi pop). The food is fresh, the kitchen spotless, and the kebab platter is serious business.
