Food Food Food!
I am a big time foodie and gained a lot in the last 6 months! I can suggest a few fantastic places which are a must to try!
- For Local Food: Try the local traditional food of Udaipur in the form of dal bati or a traditional thali at Natraj or at The Traditional Khana, and you must try the famous Paliwal kachori making a perfect refreshment.
- For view: Enjoy scrumptious food with an enthralling view of the lake at Ambrai, Upre, Udai Kothi, Lakend, The Sunset Terrace
- For coffee: Relish a warm cup of coffee with the peace of the city at Vinod cafe with a fantastic view of Fateh Sagar (Coffee in Kulhad), and you can check other outlets CCD, Royale Brewmen, 14C Cafe & Bistro
The city also offers the facility of Zomato and Swiggy on days when you just want to stay in and enjoy your meals. For exclusive home-delivered non-veg food, try D’Flavour, they have the actual Rajasthani desi touch in their preparations. (I strongly recommend D’Flavour)
