Best restaurants in Udaipur
26 restaurants that Udaipur locals recommend — the real reasons, and the caveats.
Rajasthani thalis at Traditional Khana and Natraj, dal baati at Krishna, non-vegetarian meals at Poppy and Kunwar Kalewa, and modern Indian cooking at Nyoto. Lakefront dinners at Ambrai, Upre and Jagat Niwas come with the food-quality disagreements, not just the views.
Udaipur city only. City-wide restaurant recommendations may share one named location; outlet-specific experiences remain distinct. Ambiguous hotel-level dining pools, unmatched outlets and coffee-only café recommendations are excluded.
Drawn from real discussions in r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan and r/jaipur — 26 restaurants in Udaipur that people actually recommend. Each one shows why people rate it, the caveats they raised, and a link straight to the original comment — so you read the source yourself instead of trusting a laundered rating. Places cluster around Lake Pichola, Gulab Bagh, Old City and Panchwati.

Places
1.Poppy by Royal Repast
30 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Poppy by Royal Repast draws repeated recommendations for non-vegetarian meals, Rajasthani cooking and pizza. Two commenters specifically praise the Italian food, and the dish suggestions also include butter chicken and laal maas. The enthusiasm is not unanimous: one diner liked the pizza's crust and cheese but wanted more vegetable toppings; another found the food merely decent after a long dinner wait.

2.Khamma Ghani
28 people recommend, 6 warn against itvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
The Ambamata restaurant is the Khamma Ghani covered here, not the similarly named pure-vegetarian hotel restaurant on Trident Road. It draws repeated recommendations for Rajasthani dinners, including laal maas and dal baati churma. Several diners praise the food and lakeside setting, but others find the meals overhyped or disappointing. One visitor preferred other restaurants' views, and another felt the ambience mattered more than the taste.
Khamma Ghani Restaurant, Rang Sagar, 53, Near, Hotel Natural Marg, Ambamata, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
3.Ambrai, Lake Pichola
26 people recommend, 5 warn against itvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Ambrai's lakeside setting is its clearest attraction: diners repeatedly recommend the evening views, including the illuminated City Palace. Several visitors advise reserving ahead after finding tables unavailable. Food opinions are much less consistent. Some diners enjoyed their meals, while others describe ordinary or below-average cooking and recommend going for the setting rather than the food. Treat it as a view-led dinner choice, not an uncontested food favourite.
Lake Pichola
4.Natraj Dining Hall
24 people recommend, 6 warn against itvia r/udaipur, r/jaipur
Natraj's Udaipur recommendations are represented here by the Station Road dining hall. Diners repeatedly suggest its vegetarian thalis, with both Rajasthani and Gujarati styles mentioned. A long-time customer praises the consistency and service despite the crowds. Others find the thali overhyped, too Gujarati in taste or too oily. One regular finds the seasoning milder than their preference.
Natraj Dining Hall And Restaurant, 22-24, City station road, Railway Station Rd, Shivaji Nagar, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313001, India
5.Traditional Khana, Panchwati
20 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur
Traditional Khana in Panchwati is repeatedly recommended for a Rajasthani thali and the way the meal is served. Diners single out the regional flavours, and one describes a generous meal of dal, baati, churma, curries and chutneys. Another visitor chose it on a whim and was pleased enough to recommend it again. Two commenters find it worthwhile, while another considers it too costly and a further recommendation also notes the expense.
Panchwati
6.Krishna Dal Bati, Gulab Bagh
18 people recommendvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Krishna Dal Bati near Gulab Bagh is repeatedly recommended for dal baati and Rajasthani thali. Suggestions come from both visitors and people discussing their local favourites. The caveats are about the food as well as demand: one diner found the meal average after a long wait, with watery dal and overly sweet churma, while another liked the place overall but was less impressed by the baati itself.
Gulab Bagh
7.Jheel's Ginger, Old City
18 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Jheel's Ginger near Gangaur Ghat draws recommendations for meals with a lake view, including lunch and dinner as well as breakfast. Pizza is the most repeatedly mentioned food; one diner also liked the sandwiches, and another suggests the pancakes. The food is not universally admired: some diners call it ordinary or below average, and one now prefers to order only a drink. The setting is a stronger consensus than the cooking.
Old City
8.Harigarh
16 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur
Harigarh draws repeated recommendations for dinner beside Lake Pichola, and several commenters specifically suggest its laal maas. Diners also praise the food and views after dark. One visitor loved the meal but faced a long table wait; another preferred the experiences at Jagat Niwas and Ambrai and advised skipping Harigarh. It is a food-and-setting option with genuine dissent, rather than a universally preferred lakefront restaurant.
Restaurant Harigarh, Ambrai Rd, Outside Chandpole, Hanuman Ghat, Ambamata, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
9.Jagat Niwas Palace
14 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Jagat Niwas attracts diners for lake views and its old-city setting, with recommendations for both daytime jharokha seating and evening meals. One diner liked the pasta while another found it only decent; a separate recommendation is for laal maas. Other visitors are much less impressed, describing average or bland food and disappointing portions. Several recommend booking ahead. It is better supported as a scenic dining choice than as a consistently outstanding meal.
Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel, 23-25, Lal Ghat Behind Jagdish Temple, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
10.Upre
13 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Upre is repeatedly suggested for rooftop dinners and lake views, including date-night meals. The food attracts more qualified reactions: several diners describe it as decent or average, while others enjoyed it and one preferred it to Jagat Niwas. There are also value complaints and one visitor's criticism of the service. Another visitor felt the surroundings justified the visit despite the cost. Choose it primarily for the setting rather than expecting unanimous praise for the cooking.
Upre, Roof Top Hotel Lake Pichola Road Outside Chand Pole, Lake, Pichola, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
11.Sun n Moon
10 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur
Sun n Moon draws recommendations for rooftop dinners with lake views, and its food has supporters beyond the setting. One commenter likes the continental dishes, another praises the food and value, and another describes it as an exception to rooftops where eating is secondary to the view. A dissenting diner calls it poor value. The balance favours trying it, but the enthusiasm is not universal.
84, Level, Sun N Moon Cafe & Restaurant, 5, Gangaur Ghat Marg, above Hotel Udai Niwas, Near Jagdish Temple, Silawatwari, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
12.Chunda Palace
8 people recommendvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Chunda Palace is repeatedly suggested for dinner, including romantic evenings and Rajasthani food. One commenter recommends a candlelit meal, while another highlights the palace atmosphere. A guest who dined on the terrace describes an enjoyable meal and view after finding other dinner plans unavailable. These recommendations concern dining at the property, not a claim that every hotel experience is equally well supported.

13.Bawarchi
7 people recommendvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Bawarchi is repeatedly suggested for vegetarian North Indian and Punjabi meals, including thalis. City-wide recommendations are shown at the Delhi Gate restaurant, which diners name explicitly. One diner singles out the paneer butter masala, while another found the cooking too spicy. A further commenter recommends it only comparatively, finding it better than Natraj rather than particularly good in its own right. Spice preferences matter here.

14.Millets of Mewar
7 people recommendvia r/udaipur, r/Rajasthan
Millets of Mewar draws repeated recommendations for meals in Udaipur. One commenter highlights its millet-based Rajasthani menu, a local includes it among places they would consider for good food, and another simply reports that it is good. It is also suggested in response to a dal baati churma request. The vegetarian restaurant is on City Palace Road.
Millets Of Mewar Restaurant, Badhu Ji ka Darwaja, 51, City Palace Rd, Near Jagdish Temple, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
15.Abaar
7 people recommendvia r/udaipur
Abaar draws food recommendations as well as suggestions for lake views and cocktails. One diner describes the dishes as particularly enjoyable, and another reports a good meal without making a broader claim. Two commenters find it expensive; another recommends it when asked about private dining and suggests booking a table. It is a setting-and-food option rather than a recommendation based solely on drinks.
3rd Floor, Abaar- Kitchen & Bar, Hotel The Red Pier, Lal Ghat Road, Old City, Silawatwari, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
16.Tribute, Pichola Lake Side
7 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur
Tribute draws recommendations for Indian meals near Pichola, including suggestions for laal maas and maas ke shoolay. One commenter advises asking for a spicier preparation, while another recommends it as an alternative for a candlelit dinner. A dissatisfied caller reports being unable to arrange a reservation and advises against visiting. That is a booking complaint, not a claim that they ate a poor meal.
Lake Pichola
17.Kunwar Kalewa
6 people recommendvia r/udaipur
Kunwar Kalewa is repeatedly named when people ask for non-vegetarian food in Udaipur. A long-time customer recommends the dum biryani and chicken lollipop; another suggests khad maas for dinner. A separate diner praises the taste, and other commenters include it in their lists of non-vegetarian places to try.

20.Purohit
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur
Purohit Cafe is repeatedly recommended for South Indian food, including by a diner who says they do not usually enjoy that cuisine. Another visitor reports a good meal, and one specifically names it for dosa. Waiting is a recurring caveat: two commenters mention queues, with one calling it overrated and preferring a neighbouring restaurant. The vegetarian restaurant is on University Road.
Purohit Cafe, Anand Plaza, University Rd, Shabri Colony, Ayad, Kharakua, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313001, India
21.Taro
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur
Taro draws recommendations for meals as well as rooftop evenings. One commenter singles out its Asian food and another suggests it in response to a Pan-Asian food request. A separate recommendation describes it as lively and upscale. One dissenter found the venue lacking energy and preferred other options.

22.Nyoto, Udai Kothi
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/udaipur, r/jaipur
Nyoto at Udai Kothi draws recommendations for modern Indian cooking, with one diner praising its unusual fusion dishes and others reporting enjoyable evenings or meals. There is also a clear dissenting experience: one visitor found the food mediocre and poor value. It is an option for trying different cooking, but it does not win everyone over.
Udai Kothi
23.Mehman
5 people recommendvia r/udaipur
Mehman near Chetak Circle is repeatedly suggested for non-vegetarian food. One visitor describes it as the best non-vegetarian meal of their Udaipur trip; another likes the food and considers the setting a little fancier than nearby alternatives. Other commenters name it among places to try. No particular dish has enough detailed discussion here to make it the headline recommendation.
Mehman Restaurant, near Moon light Dryclean, Chetak Circle, Zinc Park, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
24.Kaner Bagh
5 people recommendvia r/udaipur
Kaner Bagh is repeatedly recommended when people ask where to eat in Udaipur. One diner praises both the taste and the atmosphere, while another describes the ambience positively but calls the food only decent. It also appears in an Indian-restaurant recommendation list. These dining suggestions concern the Kaner Bagh property near Sukhadia Circle, rather than hotel stays.

25.Baro Masi
5 people recommendvia r/udaipur
Baro Masi is repeatedly suggested for lunch or dinner at Udai Kothi. One recommendation includes it among lakeside options for a birthday dinner, while another names it alongside Upre and Ambrai for a couple's visit. The support is chiefly for choosing a meal venue and setting, rather than for any particular dish. Baro Masi and Nyoto are separate restaurants at the same property.
Baro Masi, On, Udai Kothi, Chand Pole Road, Hanuman Ghat Marg, opp. Pichola, Chand Pole, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004, India
26.Panna Vilas
5 people recommendvia r/udaipur
Panna Vilas on Rani Road is recommended for meals with Fateh Sagar views. One diner particularly enjoyed the laal maas, and another praises both the food and the view while suggesting a private dining table for conversation. A further commenter suggests it after listing the Pichola-side dinner options. The detailed dish praise is one diner's experience, not a claim that everyone singles out the same meal.
