If you want to fume up all your senses with hot spices, this is the city to venture out from little narrow lanes street food to fancy fine restaurants serving wide varieties of mouth watering dishes suiting all the palates.

1. A walk around Sojati Gate, one of Jodhpur’s famous markets, with its heavy aroma of the popular hot Pyaaz Kachoris and spicy Mirchi Badas, could leave the toughest, weak-kneed with temptation.

                                          

2. It’s in tradition of Jodhpur that first you have to eat sweet and then start other food. One can’t escape from sweet hospitality (“Mithi Manuhar”) of Jodhpur. One must try out ‘Mave ki Kachori’, ‘Besan ki Chaaki’and ‘Daal badam ka halwa’ .Janta Sweet Home, Jodhpur Sweet Home, Pokhar Sweets are some of the shop where one can find a quality and variety of sweets.

3. In keeping with Rajasthani culture, here every meal begins with exotic sweet treats and progresses with the delicious Dal Batti, Gatte ki sabji or the unique Gulab jamun ki sabzi along with the traditional Kair-sangri (radish pods). For the authentic flavor, visit the lesser known hotels such as Priya, Poonam and Pokar.

4. For all hard core non vegetarians this place is a paradise, try the ‘Laal maas’ preparations along with the grilled kebabs and tikkas.  Shri Mishrilal Hotel and Restaurant, New Shaheen Restaurant and the Jharokha Restaurant are some of the popular eating hubs of the city.

5. Every meal must end with a tall glass of “makhania lassi” at the Clock Tower, a specialty of Jodhpur made with saffron, yoghurt and sugar, extinguishing the heat of Sun City. The thick lassies are topped with a small piece of homemade butter and are a treat to the taste buds.

Jodhpur has myriad flavors for all 10,000 taste buds set to be tantalized.  Come to Jodhpur and have a meal fit for kings!!
