    Omelette Shop

    Just through the gate (by the inner arch – surrounded by imitators) on the northern side of the square, the Omelette Shop claims to go through several thousand eggs a day – the egg man has been doing his thing for over 30 years. Two tasty, spicy boiled eggs cost Rs10, and an oily two-egg omelette with chilli, coriander and four pieces of bread Rs15.

    Kalinga Restaurant

    This restaurant near the train station is smart and popular, with a bright, classy ambience and AC. It has a well-stocked bar, and tasty veg and nonveg North Indian dishes – tandoori and curries. Try the lal maans, a mouthwatering Rajasthani mutton curry.

    Janta Sweets

    The 'home of sweets' comes pretty close to the money, with superb mawa ladoo and mawa katchori, and a high customer turnover.

    Mid Town

    Indique

    This refined candle-lit rooftop terrace is the perfect place for a romantic dinner. Even murky Gulab Sagar glistens at night and the views to the fort, clock tower and Umaid Bhawan are superb. The food is traditional tandoori and North Indian curries and you won’t be disappointed by the old favourites – butter chicken and rogan josh. On your way, drop into the delightful 18th Century Bar with saddle bar stools and enough heritage paraphernalia to have you ordering pink gins.

    Jharokha

    The rooftop terraces of the Hotel Haveli host one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Jodhpur. As well as the excellent food and views there’s nightly entertainment of traditional music and dance. The dishes include Rajasthani specialities and traditional North Indian favourites, as well as pizza, pasta and pancakes for the homesick.

    Mehran Terrace

    Dining on one of the fort’s lofty terraces is unsurpassably romantic and, while the service won’t win any awards, the thali is rich and constantly refilled. The candle-lit, well-spaced tables, live music and traditional dancing, all 140m above the city, make for an unforgettable occasion. Don’t forget to book.

    Bollygood

    Run by same owner as On the Rocks, this themed restaurant is brightly lit and overstaffed and - once the word spreads - will be a great place for a drink. Dishes are named after Indian movie stars, but the Bollygood veg platter wins the gong.

    Hotel Priya & Restaurant

    If you can handle the traffic fumes, this street-facing place has a certain cheerful clamour, and serves up reliable North and South Indian cuisine. The thalis (Rs50) are good and there are sweets too.

    Umaid Bhawan Palace

    There is a selection of elegant eateries here.
