Jaipur Travel Guide

Jaipur Cuisine

The preparation of food was a very complex matter in the royal kitchens of Jaipur and was raised to the levels of an art form. Thus the 'Khansama' (the royal cooks) worked in the stately palaces and kept their most enigmatic recipes to themselves.
Taj Rambagh amphi theatre offers both traditional entertainment and Tandoori cuisine to its guests. There are multicuisine restaurants here too.

Lakshmi Misthaan Bhandaar or LMB is well known for serving sumptuous Rajasthani cuisine including famous dessert of Jaipur, 'ghewar'. There are many good multi-cuisine restaurants at Ganapati Plaza, while one can get real taste of Rajasthan at Tonk Road and Choki Dhani. However, these places offer only vegetarian traditional meals in their rustic way with lots of desi ghee and no tables unlike the sophisticated ways of big and famous restaurants in the city. Here, you can also enjoy the folk performances and a camel ride before lunch or dinner.
There are several world-class multicuisine restaurants offering Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisine at MI Road. The palace turned hotels have some quality bars and multicuisine restaurants too such as Hotel Maharani Palace, Hotel Rambagh Palace, Hotel Mansingh Palace and Hotel Jai Mahal Palace .
