Jaipur Restaurants

  1. Copper Chimney

    Near Handi Restaurant, Copper Chimney is a smart, classy place with a gruff waiter army and a rollicking horse mural. It offers top-to-bottom Indian and Chinese food in a cool, pleasant setting, with a window over the mayhem of MI Rd.

  2. Four Seasons

    This smart, vastly popular place - expect to wait on weekends - is on two levels, with a glass wall to the kitchens. It's a bit out of the way but has hearty vegetarian food and a great range of Rajasthani dishes. Try the mutter paneer (peas and unfermented cheese) or a thali.

  3. Ice Spice

    A short stroll south of Evergreen Guesthouse, this locals' place does a roaring trade in Rajasthani thalis, and a good side business in South Indian dishes.

    Close to the main bus station, this popular pure-veg place does especially good Indian breakfasts. Limited English, but it's fast, fresh and delicious.

  8. Lassiwala

    This milky institution is a simple little place that whips up fabulous, creamy lassis (yoghurt and iced-water drink). Will the real Lassiwala please stand up? It's the one that says 'Since 1944', directly next to the alleyway; imitators (some pretty good) spread to the right as you face it.

  9. LMB

    LMB is heart-warming stuff - an Art Deco-meets-disco sattvik (pure vegetarian) restaurant going strong since 1954. The menu includes a warning from Krishna about people who like putrid and polluted food (tamasic) . All meals are made with pure ghee (clarified butter), and puri (flat dough that puffs up when fried) snacks such as kachori ( puris pepped up with corn or dhal) and gol gappas (Indian-style breakfast of puris and vegetables) are the best in town.

  10. Natraj Restaurant

    This classy, two-level vegetarian restaurant has an extensive menu featuring North Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisine. The stuffed-tomato dish is divine, and the bomb curry will blow you away. Otherwise there's a good selection of thalis, but the South Indian food is oily and bland.

  11. Rawat Kachori

    For great Indian sweets - including Jaipur's own sticky ghevar (a honeycomb-shaped cake made from flour and dhal and covered in ghee and milk) topped with flaked almonds - head to the mobbed Rawat Kachori ; a delicious milk crown should fill you up for the afternoon.
