Best Street Food in Jaipur You Should Not Miss
Jaipur offers you a wide variety of food and meal options. So, if you’re someone who loves trying spicy food, or you’re a sweet lover, the Pink City has it all. To get you started, here are five delicious street dishes you need to try on your Jaipur trip.
Pyaz Kachori at Rawat Misthan Bhandar
I can’t deny how much I loved Pyaz Kachori at Rawat Misthan Bhandar in Jaipur. This restaurant is located near the main railway station area and easily reachable by any means of transport.
The restaurant is heavily famous for its kachori, ghevar, dhokla, and lassi. I tried Pyaaz kachori for the first time in Jaipur at this place, and man, it was mouth-watering. The onion and masala filling was delicious and can delight your taste buds. They also have a Mawa-kachori, which is worth a try as well. It’s sweet as compared to the spicy Pyaaz kachori.
The only thing which I didn’t like was the waiting time. Sometimes, you have to wait 30-40 minutes to get your order because of the crowd and the massive demand for their food. But the taste they’re offering is worth the wait.
Must Haves: Pyaaz Kachori, Samosa, Lassi, Ghevar
Cost for two: INR 100-300 or USD 3-5 (approx.)
Where in Jaipur: Station Rd, Sindhi Camp, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302001

Sweets at Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar (LMB)
No one leaves Jaipur without visiting the city’s most famous sweet restaurant Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar (LMB). As the name suggests, Mishthan stands for sweet, and the restaurant can offer you a variety of lip-smacking sweet dishes.
The restaurant started in 1954 and has attracted crowds since its inception. You can try kachori, badam milk, ghevar, dhokla, cakes, dry fruits, and many more things in this cool restaurant. They also have a dine-in area for proper meals.
The snacks are super affordable for a budget traveler, but the price is relatively high for their dine-in meal restaurant. As I was traveling on a budget trip, I sticked to snacks only to save money and spent only 150-200 INR with a much-satisfied stomach in the end.
Must Haves: Kachori, Ghevar, Lassi, Dry Fruits, thali
Cost for two: INR 100-300 or USD 3-5 (approx.)
