Udaipur’s street food is best eaten the way locals eat it: hot, standing up, in the right order. Here’s our trail. It works as one long walk or across two days.
Stop 1: Kachori near Jagdish Temple
Paliwal Kachori, just below the temple steps, fries kachori all morning, about ₹20 each, with gulab jamun on the side. Get there by late morning; the first batches go fast. See Jagdish Temple.
Stop 2: Rabri
A few steps away, Rajubhai Rabriwale serves thick, slow-cooked rabri. Have a small bowl even if you’re full.
Stop 3: Ghanta Ghar and Moti Chohtta
Walk ten minutes to the clock tower. The lanes around it have mirchi bada, samosa, sweet shops and spice stalls. JMB (Jayesh Misthan Bhandar), running since 1964, is a good stop for mithai and namkeen.
Stop 4: Chaat in Bapu Bazaar
In the middle of the shopping lanes, Shiv Shakti Chaat Centre does papdi chaat and samosa. Evenings are busiest. Add pani puri from a cart.
Stop 5: The Fateh Sagar pal
Take an auto to Fateh Sagar for sunset. Bhutta (roasted corn) with lime and chilli, pav bhaji, and coffee at Sai Sagar Coffee House. See Fateh Sagar.
