Paantya Restaurant

Udaipur


Most captivating in the evening, this semiformal restaurant in the ritzy Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel has indoor seating, but if the weather’s warm enough it’s best out in the open-air courtyard by the pool. Indian classical music is performed nightly, and the food is great. For local flavour try the laal maas dhungar (Rajasthani smoked-mutton curry).
