What people say, in short
Laxmi Misthan Bhandar (LMB) in Johari Bazaar is a well-known Jaipur institution, and many recommend it for its Rajasthani thali, ghewar, mawa kachori, lassi and dal baati. It divides opinion, though: several warn that it is overpriced, some call it overhyped or aimed mostly at tourists, and several complain of poor service. One former regular says it has slipped in recent years, and another says the ghewar isn't worth the hype.
