A serene, pure white marble cenotaph dedicated to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Its delicate, intricately carved lattice work allows sunlight to filter through, giving the structure a beautiful, ethereal glow. Offers peaceful gardens and stunning panoramic views of the Mehrangarh Fort and Jodhpur city. A must-visit for architecture and history enthusiasts.

This is very nice to see. It is located very close to the fort. You can spend approximately 1 hour here taking nice photographs of the temple and also you can see the fort from a different perspective. The entry fee is 100 Rupees per person and they also accept card payments. There is also toilets on the grounds. If you are visiting the fort visit this place also. It gets warm very quickly here so come as early as you can. It opens at 9AM.

We visited Jaswanth Thada around 10 AM, and it turned out to be the perfect time, the place was calm with very little crowd. The white marble monument looked absolutely stunning in the morning light, and the whole atmosphere felt serene. The entry fee was ₹30 per person for Indians, and as we walked around, a musician was playing the Ghoomar tune on a Ravanhatta. The music blended beautifully with the surroundings and added so much charm to the experience. We ended up spending almost an hour here, just taking in the architecture, the views, and the peaceful ambiance. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy Jodhpur’s heritage.

We visited Jaswant Thada and honestly, it’s a really beautiful spot. The whole place is made of white marble and it looks amazing when the sunlight hits it. It’s calm, clean, and very photogenic. You don’t need a lot of time here around 30 minutes is enough to walk around, take pictures, and enjoy the view of Mehrangarh Fort. A little history: Jaswant Thada was built in 1899 by Maharaja Sardar Singh in memory of his father, Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. It’s a royal memorial, and the detailed marble work makes it feel very peaceful and special.

Mehrangarh Fort, dating back to around 1460, is one of India's largest forts. It offers lift access and galleries, guided tours, and shops for visitors. The best times to appreciate its architectural grandeur are at sunrise or sunset when the golden walls shimmer against the crimson sky. The fort stands tall at 400 feet amidst glittering blue homes and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Jodhpur. Additionally, it provides a chilling sense of history.
We recently visited Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur with our family and it was an amazing experience filled with history, art and breathtaking views! The fort is one of the most well-preserved and majestic in Rajasthan. From the grand entrance gates to the intricate carvings, jharokhas and massive courtyards, everything reflects the grandeur of Jodhpur’s royal era. The museum inside is beautifully curated, showcasing royal costumes, weapons, paintings and palanquins that bring the history of Marwar to life. The entry ticket for general visitors is ₹200 per person, and ₹100 for senior citizens. We also opted for a guide, which cost ₹600 for 5 persons group, the price varies depending on the group size. The guide was knowledgeable and made the tour more engaging with interesting stories and facts about the fort and its rulers. For those who prefer to avoid climbing steep paths, there’s also a lift facility available at ₹50 per person, which takes you up to the main courtyard level. We spent about 2–3 hours exploring the fort at a relaxed pace. The views from the top are absolutely stunning, you get a full panoramic view of the Blue City, especially beautiful during sunset. Inside, there are also clean washrooms, a nice café serving tea and snacks with scenic views, and a souvenir shop with good-quality local crafts. Overall, Mehrangarh Fort is a must-visit in Jodhpur, grand, informative and family-friendly. A perfect blend of history, architecture, and incredible views!

Visiting Mehrangarh Fort is always an amazing experience — I’ve been here twice, with a gap of 10 years, and the feeling of awe remains the same. The fort’s beauty and grandeur are truly timeless. Parking is available below the fort in a large designated area for around ₹50 per car. From there, you walk up to the entry gate to purchase your tickets. You also have the option to hire a guide or rent an audio device (about ₹180 per device). The audio guide works with numbered points displayed around the fort, making it easy to follow along with the history. There’s also a lift facility that can take you directly to the top, allowing you to explore the fort from top to bottom. However, if you take the lift, you will skip points 1–6, so make sure to listen to those explanations before you start, since the audio device has to be returned at point 33. Exploring the fort properly takes at least 1–2 hours, and every corner feels worth it. I also tried the Makhaniya Lassi at their café — definitely a good choice to refresh yourself during the visit. The staff at the fort are very humble and helpful, which adds to the experience. The only advice I would strongly give is: avoid visiting in the summer. The heat can be unbearable. The best time is during the core winter months.

This is one of the most important places to visit while in Jodhpur. This fort is amazing to see both inside and outside the fort. You can get here by Tuk Tuk and pay entry at the ticket office which starts at fort entrance. They accept card payments and also cash. It costs 800 Rupees per person to see the fort but worth it. You can spend approximately 2 hours here walking around and enjoying the historic buildings. It is quite warm here but there are cafes around the fort if you need to buy drinks. There are also toilets on site. I would highly recommend you visit this fort. You can also exit the fort through the Blue City side which is also another nice experience exiting the fort through the Blue City. It gets very busy from early. It is best to come at opening time which is 9am.

We visited Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur on March 1, 2025 with our family, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The fort stands as one of Rajasthan’s finest—beautifully preserved and showcasing the true splendour of Marwar’s royal heritage. From the moment you walk through the huge entrance gates, the grandeur is evident. Intricate carvings, elegant jharokhas, spacious courtyards and towering walls paint a vivid picture of the royal era. The museum is equally impressive, featuring royal costumes, weapons, miniature paintings and palanquins that perfectly capture the history and culture of Jodhpur. The entry fee is ₹200 per person, and ₹100 for senior citizens. We didn’t hire any guide but if you want you cant get guide there. For those who prefer not to climb the steep pathways, there is a lift service for ₹50 per person, which takes you directly to the main courtyard — very convenient, especially for families and elders. We spent about 2–3 hours exploring the fort at a comfortable pace. The views from the top are absolutely stunning — a full panoramic view of the Blue City, especially magical during sunset. The fort also has clean washrooms, a nice café offering tea and snacks with scenic views, and a souvenir shop with good-quality local handicrafts.

We really loved visiting Mehrangarh Fort. It was built in 1459 by Rao Jodha and is one of the biggest forts in Rajasthan. The view from the top is amazing. Inside the fort, there is a museum where you can see old weapons, paintings, and royal items. The entry ticket is ₹200 for adults. If you have a student ID card, the ticket price becomes half. The place is very clean, well managed, and a must visit in Jodhpur.

Mehrangarh Fort, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest and most majestic forts in India. Perched atop a 410-foot high rocky hill, it dominates the city’s skyline and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the “Blue City” below. Built in 1459 by Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur, the fort is an enduring symbol of Rajput strength, culture, and architectural brilliance. The massive complex is enclosed by thick walls and features a series of grand palaces such as Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, and Sheesh Mahal, each showcasing exquisite carvings, mirror work, and royal artifacts. The fort also houses one of the best-preserved museums in Rajasthan, displaying palanquins, weapons, paintings, and turbans that narrate centuries of royal history. Mehrangarh is not just a monument; it is an experience filled with vibrant traditions. The sound of folk music, the sight of intricately dressed guards, and the serenity of ancient courtyards transport visitors to a bygone era. Its imposing gates, including Jai Pol and Fateh Pol, still bear marks of historic battles. Today, Mehrangarh Fort stands as a proud reminder of Rajput valor and heritage, attracting travelers from around the world.

Mandore Garden, located about 9 km north of Jodhpur, is a historic site that once served as the capital of the Marwar kingdom in the 6th century. The garden is famous for its temple-like cenotaphs (chhatris) dedicated to Marwar’s former rulers, especially the grand memorial of Maharaja Ajit Singh. It also features the Hall of Heroes with rock-carved statues of Rajput warriors, a temple dedicated to 33 crore Hindu gods, and a museum displaying ancient artifacts. Surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and serene landscapes, Mandore Garden beautifully combines royal history, architecture, and nature, making it a peaceful attraction for visitors to Jodhpur.

Nestled just outside the bustling city of Jodhpur, Mandore Garden offers a serene and historically rich escape from the typical Rajasthani fort and palace itinerary. This sprawling garden complex, the ancient capital of the Marwar region, feels more like an enchanting, overgrown sanctuary than a manicured park. The main attraction is its stunning collection of dewals, or cenotaphs, built in memory of Jodhpur’s rulers. Unlike the typical chhatris found elsewhere, these are immense, temple-like structures, featuring intricately carved red sandstone facades that soar multiple storeys high. The Hall of Heroes, with its giant, brightly painted figures of deities and Rajput warriors, adds a unique folk-art charm. Monkeys playfully scamper across the lawns and ancient structures, adding to the garden's lively, untamed atmosphere. The overgrown foliage and the quiet, almost mystical ambiance make it a perfect spot for a peaceful stroll. Climb up to the higher terraces for beautiful views and to explore the rock-cut hall and temple. Mandore Garden is a captivating blend of history, architecture, and nature. It’s a less crowded, more relaxed alternative to Mehrangarh Fort, offering a poignant and picturesque glimpse into Rajasthan’s regal past. A must-visit for those seeking a different side of Jodhpur.
PIYUSH M — Google review
must-visit destination for anyone interested in architectural heritage, the Mandore Gardens is a beautiful garden that delights people of all age groups on their Jodhpur tour. It is a kind of place that invites history buffs to sneak peek into the history of the region and learn more about its culture through numerous attractions located within the complex. Inside the garden there are small cafeterias that serve delicious food. Small toy train is the main attraction for both kids and adults. While entering the garden, we came to know that Mandodari and Ravan got married here as mandodari was from Jodhpur.

This desert park spans across 70 hectares of rocky land and was created in 2006 for the restoration of natural ecology.

Went for morning trekking and it's a awesome place for bird watching . There are different tracks as per difficulty level, I was suggested for yellow tack however that's too easy and short, tried others too and on red found a lotus pond. Perfect view of fort and lake. I recommend to check those stones displayed outside the ticket counter, they are fossiles and some are very unique.

Nestled in the heart of Jodhpur's Old City, Toorji Ka Jhalra Bavdi is a beautifully restored 18th-century stepwell adorned with exquisite sandstone carvings. This ancient marvel offers a captivating challenge for photographers, with its intricate designs, arched niches, and symmetrical patterns providing an ideal backdrop for capturing stunning images.
Toorji ka Jhalra is a historical place in Jodhpur and is located very near to Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower). It was really lovely to visit this place as it was very beautiful and peaceful, there is a little bit of crowd not overcrowded and yes this is an open place so no tickets for this place. Also the local boys jump from height directly into the water for their fun but it entertains the crowd as well. The steps here makes this place more beautiful

Toor Ji Ka Jhalra, also known as the Toorji Stepwell, is one of the most fascinating heritage spots in Jodhpur and an absolute must-visit for anyone exploring the Blue City. Located in the heart of the old city near the Clock Tower and Sardar Market, this centuries-old stepwell beautifully blends history, architecture, and culture in one frame.The structure is stunning — built from red sandstone with intricate carvings and symmetrical steps leading down to the cool green water. It’s an architectural marvel that reflects the brilliance of ancient Rajasthani craftsmanship. The best part is how the place still feels authentic and rooted in history, even though it has become a popular spot among tourists and locals alike.In the mornings, the site feels peaceful and perfect for photography or quiet reflection. By afternoon and evening, it livens up with people relaxing around, children diving into the water, and tourists capturing Instagram-worthy shots. The surrounding area is full of vibrant cafes, rooftop restaurants, and small handicraft shops that add to the charm — you can easily spend an hour or two here soaking in the atmosphere.The maintenance is fairly good, though it can get a little crowded during peak hours. Visiting early in the day is the best way to enjoy its calm beauty. If you’re a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or someone who enjoys exploring local culture, Toor Ji Ka Jhalra will not disappoint you.It’s not just a stepwell — it’s a living reminder of Jodhpur’s royal heritage and the importance of water conservation in desert architecture.

The toorji ka jhalra is a historic stepwell in Jodhpur. It was a means of collecting rainwater for storage during the harsh summer months. Although stepwells have been in disuse for most parts of the century, people still gather here looking at the space as a hangout spot, to catch up with friends or just to enjoy the quiet. I visited during the Jodhpur arts festival and it was so nice to see the stepwell bringing in so many people in a new way of engagement. Do visit when in jodhpur!

Vegetarian restaurant
Gypsy Vegetarian Restaurant, located in a bustling market in Jodhpur, is renowned for its extensive Rajasthani thalis. The restaurant offers a lavish spread of local cuisine with true Rajasthani fare, including dishes like dal-bati, lal mass, churma, gatte ki sabzi, and more. Visitors can expect superb food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere at this popular eatery.
Lively, clean and welcoming vibe of good ol' Gypsy. I had heard about this place from friends and my wife, and it was every bit what I had imagined and more, in a good way. It's one of those dependable food joints or restaurants that you have in every city. Pure vegetarian food made with desi ghee and served with a smile. Staff is extremely courteous and well trained, and all the food preparations are made with the most fresh ingredients always. What really stood apart for me was their very good hygiene standards. Not very common in old restaurants to see absolutely clean washrooms and wash basin area. They have a smaller joint on the ground floor with parking for a couple of cars, and then a big hall upstairs for proper dining. Highly recommended for people craving for some authentic Rajasthani vegetarian cuisine.

Gypsy is a Jodhpur institution and a must-visit for the legendary, unlimited Rajasthani Thali served on the first floor. It offers incredible value, featuring a vast array of authentic dishes like Dal Baati Churma and Ker Sangri. While the ambiance is simple and waiting times can be long, the consistently good, wholesome food and attentive Marwari hospitality make it a true cultural and culinary experience. Be warned: the food is rich, authentic, and wonderfully heavy!

If you are visiting the older parts of Jodhpur City, this restaurant is highly recommended. Fine dining, rooftop experience with a Maharangar Fort view. Great for trying out local, veg / non vegetarian cuisines. I also stayed at their BNB... Pal Haveli Inn that's also fantastic. Has the old word charm of Royal elegance.

Friendly and charming staff who showed us to a table with a not very good view of the fort with a promise to move when a further table became available. A promise that they kept. Had cold beer and cocktails - the old fashioned was good but a pretty short measure frankly. We had laal maans, veg rice and some breads. It was a lovely evening and chilled on top of the roof. Highly recommended. Not the cheapest but it does what it says on the tin.

This restaurant is highly recommended if you are visiting Jodhpur. Fine dining, rooftop experience with the view of Mehrangarh Fort on one side and Ghanta Ghar on the other side this place looks magical. Food is also very nice, there is good range of food and drinks.

Jodhpur is one town full of culture and traditions. We can call it Maharaja city of Rajasthan. Indique is one of the most memorable moment in the trip. We were suggested this place and it was more than we expected.  Best time to visit the restaurant is evening after 630 pm and best place to sit is rooftop. On one side is Ghanta Ghar, other side fountain and backdrop is Mehrangarh Fort. The food was awesome,  we started with Chicken Tikka, tender and just the best of spices  and ended with Lal Maas and Bajra roti, absolutely authentic.  Our server Mr. Harchand Ram took well care. Later we wished to speak to the chief chef. Mr. Vishal Gautam was extremely pleasant personality to speak to. He shared few secrets which made their food best in town. Hats off to Vishal who prepares the best food in Jodhpur.  Whenever you are visiting this town,  never miss it, its mesmerizing. The best of view and the best of food in town.

We got here on recommendation of other tourists we met, but unfortunately our experience was not at all good. It started off well with proper cocktails and great starters, but the mains were all wrong. My husband had little bone fragments in his mullet dish that were really sharp and could have seriously injured him. No apology was given. The saffron risotto was way too salty. The desserts were allright, but I’ve had better Gulab jamun from a street vendor. Worst of all was that the mullet dish was still on the bill, and we had to ask for it to be scratched off. In order to do so, we had to fill out a really extensive complaint form. What kind of customer service is that?! All that time also zero apologies… then at the end we had to pay separate bills for foods and drinks, which caused our card to block because the bank thought we were being scammed. Again no apology for the inconvenience that caused us. They truly have a lot to learn with regards to customer service, it really is below standards.

Best Rajasthani Food in Rajasthan India . truly Authentic taste and style
S C — Google review
The palace is known for its stunning architecture, a blend of Art Deco and Rajput styles. It is one of the world’s largest private residences and has been partially converted into a luxury hotel. The palace also houses the Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum, which showcases the history and heritage of the Jodhpur royal family. This restaurant offers a splendid dining experience, with a focus on Rajasthani and Indian cuisine, often prepared with a contemporary twist. While I don’t have access to real-time menus or specific details about the current offerings, you can expect a wide range of dishes, including local specialties and international cuisine, all served in a luxurious and elegant setting. The food at the Umaid Bhawan Palace is renowned for its quality and presentation, making it a memorable culinary experience for guests

Went to Risala for our first anniversary dinner and the whole experience was fabulous. Left us spellbound. The restaurant is located inside the palace itself and it's recommended to make prior reservation. The place has a quiet ambience with soothing lightning and opera-ish music in the background. The staff is highly courteous and hospitable. The food and drinks menus are splendid as well covering indian and continental cuisines and a large variety of drinks - having some 'palace specialities' as well. A casual mention of the fact that it was our anniversary made them arrange a special cake for us. We were the last people to leave the restaurant so one of the waiters even gave us a tour of the palace - at least of the areas which were open. We absolutely LOVED the overall hospitality, ambience, food, drinks and the whole EXPERIENCE. Risala by Taj is thus HIGHLY recommended.

Never Ever I imagined that a palace Umaid Bhavan tured hotel's restaurant RISALA will followed the British practice of discrimination especially a property that is managed by Taj group in India when the first hotel of Taj was built on the foundation where Indians are always welcomed. I called to book a slot for Maharaja Afternoon tea , the lady on the call responded that no slot is available today so I asked if on 30th August its possible then she asked it is for lunch? , I mentioned no, just for Afternoon tea, the lady in her polite voice asked do you have a room booking, i said no then she clearly mentioned that ONLY IN-HOUSE GUESTS CAN ENJOY THIS AFTERNOON TEA. As I'm not staying there, I'm not in a position to have tea there. I said kindly mention this on your website or the menu. DISCRIMINATION AT ITS BEST IN THESE MODERN TIMES.

Outdoor restaurant located inside Umaid Bhavan palace. It has Pleasant feeling when it is light breezy and light cold atmosphere. In summer you would not enjoy it.

Unfortunately, we did not manage to have dinner at Risala. Despite making our booking through the Google "reserve a table" service, when calling on the day to confirm, they claimed they have no control over or receive any information from that service, and therefore, there was no reservation to be had. It seems like a good restaurant in a great location. Perhaps some more care for their Internet presence (one of their contact numbers on their website seems to no longer be operating) and customer service would be of benefit.

Asian fusion restaurant
On The Rocks is a sophisticated restaurant located near Ajit Bhawan in the Blue City of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. It offers a fine dining experience with a menu featuring food from across Asia. The restaurant's artistic wooden chairs and European style fine dining environment create an aesthetic and comfortable ambiance. Guests can enjoy experimental gourmet dishes that present traditional recipes to gourmet perfection while curated music plays softly in the background.
On The Rocks is truly one of the finest places I’ve ever visited. From the service, location, and food to the smallest details, everything here is simply outstanding. The restaurant, bar, and atmosphere together create an experience that feels complete and memorable. What makes it stand out is the old, aesthetic vibe – timeless, classy, and full of character. Definitely one of those places you’d want to visit again and again.

I recently visited On The Rocks, Jodhpur, and had an amazing experience! The ambiance is beautiful a perfect mix of charm and a modern vibe. The staff is courteous, service is quick, and the food is delicious. As a vegetarian, I loved their Pan-Asian dishes especially the Pad Thai noodles, wontons, and sushi. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly presented. A must-visit spot in Jodhpur for great food, lovely atmosphere, and top-notch service!

⭐️⭐️ (2/5) The ambience at On The Rocks, Ajit Bhawan is undoubtedly its highlight. The setting is elegant, atmospheric, and thoughtfully designed — it truly gives the impression of a 5-star property. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not match the surroundings. The food was below average in taste, quality, quantity, and flavours. Dishes lacked depth and refinement, and the portions felt insubstantial for the price point. Overall, the meal was disappointing and fell far short of expectations for a restaurant of this stature. Service was adequate but unremarkable. While staff were courteous, the attentiveness and efficiency expected in such a premium environment were missing. It felt more like a 3-star service experience in a 5-star ambience. In summary, On The Rocks is worth visiting if you want to enjoy the ambience, but if you are seeking a memorable culinary experience, the food and service leave much to be desired.

I came to this place because it’s definitely a must visit. I saw so many great recommendations. When I ordered, there was a bit of a language barrier with the server, and my order was misunderstood. I repeated it and even showed photos to another server of what I wanted. They brought my food along with an extra dish I didn’t order. It seemed like a genuine misunderstanding due to the language issue, but unfortunately, I had to speak to a third server to clarify. I then overheard the staff explaining the situation to a manager,and it felt uncomfortable and a bit unpleasant. I can tell the servers weren’t very happy and I am sorry about it. In the end, I decided to take my food to go and I left. I would suggest having a server with a stronger level of English for tourists.

One time visit i say . Near Ajith Bhavan circuit house. But non veg not good as hype ! Almost everything is exceptional, the vibe, food, property and welcoming behaviour of the staff. The staff though was helpful and polite and they replaced the glass and spoon when I let them know about it. Other than this issue, I like everything about this place. I would recommend visiting this place for both lunch and dinner as it has a completely different vibe during morning and night. They also have an amazing bar. It's almost impossible to explain the vibe of it. You'll get to know it when you visit.

On The Rocks in Jodhpur has amazing ambience with both open and indoor seating. The entrance waterfall is very attractive and sets a nice vibe. The open area is lively while the indoor area feels cozy and private. Food is tasty, service is good, and overall it’s a must-visit place in Jodhpur.

We went to this place as per suggestion of a friend who is based in Jodhpur.Since it was a summer afternoon we opted for an indoor sitting. We tried Indian as well as Italian cuisine. We tried Panchmel subzi which is more like a mix veg along with butter roti and missi roti. You may find subzi little on spicier side, it makes sense to inform the staff in advance if you do not prefer spicy food. We also tried honey chilly potato and chicken penne pasta. Both the items were good but honey chilly potato also slightly spicy especially for children. Fresh lime soda was on sweeter side and sugar syrup was overpowering the overall blend. Staff here is helpful and cordial.

On The Rocks in Jodhpur is a perfect blend of a relaxed, inviting atmosphere and exceptional dining. Located in a convenient area with plenty of parking, it’s easy to enjoy a visit without worrying about finding a spot. The vibe of the restaurant is simple yet stylish, with a cozy and laid-back ambiance that makes it ideal for both casual meals and special nights out. The menu offers a great variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, and every dish feels carefully crafted to delight the palate. Their dal baati churma and vegetable curries are perfect for those craving traditional Rajasthani fare. One of the standout features of On The Rocks is its impressive bar area. The cocktails are expertly mixed, and the mocktail selection is equally refreshing. Whether you prefer a classic drink or something more creative, the bar offers a range of options to suit your mood. The staff here is exceptionally professional and incredibly polite, adding a personal touch to your dining experience. They are always on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly and provide helpful recommendations, making the service feel both attentive and warm. It’s worth noting that On The Rocks does include a service charge, but given the quality of food, drinks, and service, it feels well-deserved. Overall, On The Rocks is a must-visit in Jodhpur for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal in a relaxed environment, with excellent service and a great selection of drinks. Whether you're stopping by for dinner, a drink, or just a casual hangout, it offers a memorable experience every time.

Indian sweets shop
Janta Sweet Home is a popular eatery in Jodhpur, known for its spacious and brightly lit ambiance. It offers a variety of multicuisine fare in a cheerful atmosphere. The place is famous for its regional delicacies such as mirchi bada, mawa kachori, ghevar, and rabri laddu. Additionally, it serves Indianized vegetarian versions of American-style fast food like pizzas and burgers.
My experience is purely based on the pyaz kachori. It is best pyaz kachori I have ate so far. It is tangy enough that it's the first kachori that I didn't felt the need of any chutney to enhance it's flavours. Definitely would visit again to try out some of their other food items.
Mohit N — Google review
Visited Janta Sweets near Jodhpur railway station and tried their Pyaaz Kachori, Bedmi Puri, Aloo Paratha, Makhaniya Lassi, Mango Lassi, and chai. Most items were average. The flavors felt muted compared to what we are used to in Delhi. The Makhaniya Lassi had a thick blob of sweetened raw butter with barely any actual lassi. The Mango Lassi tasted more like a mango shake, and even the chai was just okay. Service was a bit slow, though everything is made fresh. The place looks air-conditioned, but only air coolers were on. Staff was polite, and pricing is very reasonable. The highlight, however, was the jalebi; crisp, rich, and full of true desi ghee flavor. It stood out from the rest and felt genuinely special. Worth a stop if you are nearby, especially for the jalebi. Just go in with modest expectations for the rest.

Always a treat to visit this place. There is everything here for anyone who love food. Best to have here: Ghevar, kachoris. I tried Kabuli for the first time here, such small qty is not justified for 60₹ . Better to avoid.

A very famous sweet shop in Jodhpur and it completely live up to its hype, very much budget friendly and also the food of this place is amazing. Mirchi Pakoda, Pyaaz Kachori and Jalebi is a must try. Highly recommended.
Snehil B — Google review
Don’t miss the Jalebi if you’re visiting this place—it was absolutely delicious! The crispiness, texture, and perfectly balanced sweetness, along with the saffron aroma, created a unique flavor. The innovative twist in its shape made it stand out from other Jalebis I’ve tried before. Definitely a must-try! As for the Mirchi Vada, it wasn't quite to my liking. It was served a bit cold, which made me wonder if it had been fried earlier in the day, so I’d recommend asking for it to be served hot and fresh when ordering. Additionally, I found the masala to be a little tangy and sour in flavor, and it lacked the spiciness and depth I was hoping for. Personally, it tasted a bit plain, but others might enjoy it depending on their preferences.

I recently visited this sweet shop, and honestly, it feels a bit overhyped. The sweets were just average in taste — not as great as expected based on the reviews and reputation. The presentation was nice, but the overall flavor and quality didn’t really stand out. It’s okay for a one-time visit, but there are definitely better options around. and the Mawa Kachori, which everyone seemed to recommend, was especially disappointing. It was soaked in too much sugar syrup, making it overly sweet and heavy. The presentation was fine, but the flavor didn’t live up to the hype. It’s okay for a one-time try,
