1. Desert Boy’s Dhani

Desert Boy’s Dhani is a garden restaurant with a gorgeous stone paved courtyard and live folk performances.

Dig into some excellent Ker Sangri or Malai Kofta as you watch a puppet show or hum along to some Rajasthani song and dance. The restaurant also has the option of traditional cushion seating indoors, though the al fresco experience under fairy lights and trees is pretty unbeatable! At night, the tables are also candlelit.
