The good problem is that you have many places to choose from. In an effort to keep things from getting too overwhelming, we pulled a selection of the best restaurants in Jaipur for dining under the stars or the warm winter sun.

Ohana is where size meets style. This colossal new opening is touted as one of the largest open-air bars in Asia, boasting a staggering 37,000 square feet of party spaces divided into distinct zones across three levels. Its massive kitchen is designed along a conveyor belt, and the dining space is lined by a majestic view of the Aravalli hills. You can even spot iconic landmarks such as the World Trade Park, Gaurav Tower, and the lush forest reserve area from the rooftop. The place serves fusion cuisine featuring street food with a twist. Some of the hot favourites here are jalapeno guacamole bhel, chicken sev puri, and kheema golgappa. —Shalba Sarda

Amid the ancient royal gardens and historic structures of Jaipur, a 350-year-old palace and vineyard have been transformed into a heritage restaurant. The space, known as the erstwhile Neel Mahal, sits at the top of Vidyadhar Ka Bagh. As you traverse through the arched pavilions, Mughal gardens, chhatris, and fountains of the place, the walk itself sets the mood for a regal dinner. The multi-cuisine menu leaves you spoilt for choice with a variety of dishes from Chinese starters to Mughlai kebabs and Indian gravies. The outdoor pavilion, known as Jalsa, offers gazebo-style seating, while the indoor area, Jyamati, is painted in blue and white in sync with the palace’s original aesthetics. For a romantic evening, you can pre-book the entire terrace on a “maharani package” and savor the sunset surrounded by hundreds of candles. —Shalba Sarda
