Chokhi Dhani

Chokhi Dhani is a luxury ethnic resort where you’ll instantly feel the tradition and ambience of Rajasthan and its heritage. We’re especially intrigued by the number of restaurants they have under their umbrella. Bindola is where to go for a folksy experience over continental and Indian cuisine; Aarogosa is a regal multi cuisine restaurant while Chandi Mahal serves up the finest cocktails and liquid courage in a Mughal setting.
Johri Bazar

Lend an ear to the sounds of hawkers and buyers and you’ll be led straight to Johor Bazaar, Jaipur’s bustling commercial complex. It’s best known for the scores of jewellers who’ve set up shop down the colonnade for years now — indeed, ‘Johri’ translates to ‘jeweller’. But it’s also home to textile shops with bountiful piles of gorgeous fabric and sarees, as well as artisans creating bed linen, quilts et al in traditional styles. Nudge your way into the sidelines to watch trained craftspeople at their trade or find incredible bolthole shops laid away from tourist eyes.
Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar

Lovingly known as LMB to Jaipurites, Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar is a laidback and age-old hotel in Jaipur’s Johari Bazaar. It’s super well-known for its food, so don’t be surprised to see locals thronging — it’s a part of life for them. They have a wide variety of Rajasthani snacks and meals to choose from, including sumptuous chaats and stuffed-to-the-brim thaalis.
Niros Restaurant

Urbanaut
If you wanted local-approved spots to eat at in Jaipur, this is it. This long-standing establishment is much-loved by locals for both the relaxed atmosphere and the great food. It has cemented a place for itself in history — after all, it’s the Pink City’s first multi cuisine restaurant that launched way back in 1949. Today, the humble restaurant bests its competition constantly, not least because the owners are always ready to chat and charm.

Tapri Ashram

Tapri is a beloved local tea house (they also own the LADU store which is in their other location - Tapri central). This is a cute cafe with a really nice outdoor area as well - perfect for when the weather gets better and to rest your feet during a long day of shopping and sight seeing.
