Here are some places where you can lavish the taste of Rajasthani, and Jaipuri local cuisines in bliss.
Tapri central
The word tapri rings a bell for chai, and that’s what this place offers the best. Staying true to its name, Tapri Central serves the best kadak chai. This place won our hearts for its decor, service and lip-smacking food. We also suggest that you have their cold coffee (yes, we know it’s called a tapri, but give it a shot). The best part? They serve complimentary khakra to all visitors. Their menu, contemporary in taste and presentation, offers everything from crowd favourite Maggi to pizza khakra to cheese vada pav as well as the famous Bombay bhel.
Must Try: Kadak chai, tadka Maggi and pizza khakra.
Lakshmi Misthan Bhandar
If you have a sweet tooth and often find yourself confused as to what to choose, then LMB (as the locals like to call it) will sort things out. Nothing at LMB disappoints, but the abundant varieties of ghevar is what one should go for. Standing proud in Johari Bazaar, LMB has been in Jaipur for almost 300 years now. There is never a dull moment for LMB as people line up in the morning to gorge on heaped plates of savoury chaat.
Must Try: Chaat and ghevar.
Lassiwala
Something different brews up in a kulhad at the famous Lassiwala. Situated on MI Road and existing since 1944, everybody who’s ever stayed in Jaipur has sweet (quite literally) memories associated with the place. One sip of the lassi and you will be transported into utopia. We also suggest that you make it here latest by afternoon so that you can actually grab one before they get sold out.
Must Try: Sweet and salty lassi.
Rawat Mishtan Bhandar
It is a sin to come to Jaipur and leave without paying a visit to Rawat’s. Their pyaaz kachori and mirchi pakoda is to die for. The very ordinary-looking shop holds a key to every foodie’s heart.
Must Try: Pyaaz kachori and kesar lassi.
