Indian restaurants in Jaipur

  1. A

    Lassiwala

    This milky institution is a simple little place that whips up fabulous, creamy lassis (yoghurt and filtered iced-water drink) served in clay cups. Will the real Lassiwala please stand up? It’s the one that says ‘Shop 312’, directly next to the alleyway; imitators spread to the right as you face it.

    Handi Restaurant

    This old favourite is opposite the main post office, at the back of Maya Mansions, and offers scrumptious barbecue dishes and Mughlai cuisine in a village atmosphere. In the evenings a deliciously tempting smoky kebab stall sets up at the entrance to the restaurant.

    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.

    Ganesh Restaurant

    This pocket-sized outdoor restaurant is in a fantastic location on the old city wall. There’s not much English spoken, but if you’re looking for a local eatery with fresh tasty food you’ll love it. It’s near New Gate, with a narrow, hidden stairway between two tailors – you’ll no doubt be helped to find the stairs.

    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 the extensive range of veg and nonveg dishes. The lal maans (mutton in spicy red gravy), and began bharta (aubergine) were delicious.

    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.

    Palace Cafe

    Tucked inside the City Palace, this is a quiet place to break the sightseeing with a cool drink. It has a bar and pleasant outdoor tables where you can snack on Indian and continental snacks and main dishes.

    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.

  9. 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.
