A very cultured, ethical, traditional and attached to the roots place is what comes to my mind when I talk about Rajasthan. From the people, to the small lanes inside the smallest town possible, Rajasthan always has a comforting vibe. What enhances this vibe to something unique is the food. Though the whole of Rajasthan is an ultimate food hub there is one place in particular that has my heart. Let’s talk about the capital and also very famously called The Pink City - Jaipur.
Jaipur has uncountable food stops and a few legendary spots. Let me take you on a food trip which I explored on the lanes of Jaipur.
Gulab Ji Chai Waale
A tea spot getting this famous that you find it crowded whenever you visit. Yes, you heard it right. I was shocked to see that people travel miles only to have a kadak masala chai from the legendary spot Gulab Ji Chai waale. Starting from a small stall and growing into multiple restaurants, do not miss the chai and masala bun here. Fun fact, the small stall is still there for us to enjoy chai the a proper desi way.
Laasiwala
I never thought I would directly jump into a Punjabi vibe while standing on the lanes of Jaipur, just with a glass of cold and fresh lassi. I couldn’t resist having more as the lassi from Lassiwale blew my mind with their taste and when people talk about consistency, they feel they are taken 70 years back when this place first began.
Rawat Mistaan Bhandar
It makes no sense to miss out on kachoris when in Jaipur and one such place which put my taste buds on pure bliss is The famous Rawat Mistaan Bhandar’s Pyaaz Kachori. Served with sweet, sour, and spicy chutney, this place has to be on your list.
Thali and More
Is your trip even complete without having a good Rajasthani thali? Dal bhati Churma dipped in Ghee, Gatte ki Sabzi, kachori, ker sangiri and what not to be excited about, this thali is a must try at Thali and More on your next visit to Jaipur.
Situated right in between the pink buildings , this place gives you both- a local as well as a total food lover vibe. Their Shrikhand, Malai Ghewarand especially Sohn Halwa take you on a delicious sweet journey which you will remember forever.
So, next time you visit Jaipur, try these legendary places and thank us later!
