Ambiance: Reminded me of old rajasthani haveli, antique columns, jharokhas, doors and window panels, are sourced directly from the region, walls adorned with beautiful paintings, ceiling decorated with traditional drawings,What made our dining experience authentic was the puppet show and folk music sung by the puppeteers. The elaborate meal is served on silver crockery which made me feel like royalty.

What I got to taste were some new and authentic dishes... Paneer batti, sangar ka samosa, Moong Mogar and gulab churma.
Some combinations were bit freaky combination to me however this was traditional food and I had to taste it. The manager and waiter were kind enough to guide me with the dishes. When I started the main course they asked me to eat the rice khichdi with sweet and tangy tamarind water also know as imlana the taste was quite unique was almost in the same lines like our southindian rasam rice... and sweet rice with moong dal again the sweet and savory combo was really good.
There are very few rajasthani restaurants who serve gatte ki sabzi prepared properly kesariya nailed this dish it was super tasty perfect for roti. The Dishes I liked and will recommend to try are the sangar ka samosa, Paneer Ghevar, Raj Kachori, Dal Panchmel, Paneer Baati/Ghee, Gulab Choorma, Kulfi.
