Jagat Niwas Palace / Rajasthan / India

Captured by Rhea Patti within the confines of a transformed haveli nestled at the conclusion of one of Lal Ghat’s intricate lanes, this eatery at Jagat Niwas Palace preserves the enchanting architecture of the mansion and boasts breathtaking views of the Lake Palace. Particularly at night, the panoramas encapsulate the profoundly romantic ambiance of the city. Offering a diverse menu featuring continental, Chinese, and Indian cuisines, as well as a selection of wine, cocktails, and beer, the establishment stands out for its fish à la Jagat during fishing season. Alternatively, patrons can savor the laal maas (red meat curry) or the subz galouti kabab (vegetarian kebabs). While the service may be leisurely, the signature Udaipur experience lies in witnessing the brilliantly illuminated palace seemingly suspended over the water from the comfort of a cushioned alcove. During peak season, live music enhances the atmosphere each night. Additionally, the venue proves to be an excellent spot for a leisurely cup of afternoon chai or lassi.
