Mirchi Bada and Kachoris at Janta Sweet Home
A famous sweet and namkeen shop in Jodhpur among locals and tourists, visit Janta Sweet Home for their amazing mirchi bada and different types of kachoris along with a wide range of sweets. It was my first time eating a mirchi bada and though a little spicy for my palate, the bada was impressively tasty. The onion and mawa kachoris here are renowned and a must have!
Location: Nai Sadak, near Ghanta Ghar, Jodhpur
Hotel Priya
Raj Kachori
Just opposite Janta Sweet Home is Hotel Priya which is famous for its thali’s. Not in a condition to eat an entire thali, we decided to dig into their chaat. First on our table was Raj Kachori, a kachori stuffed with chana, potato, sprouts and topped with curd, green chutney, tamarind chutney and sev and served in a plate with lots of curd. Mouthwatering and to die for! Their chaat section is not very long but is delicious.
Location: Nai Sadak, opposite Janta Sweet Home

Shahi Samosa
The name says it all. This is definitely the best samosa I’ve ever had. Why? Because you don’t need chutney to eat it with. Yes! The samosa is not dry like the usual ones we eat and the owner claims you don’t need chutney when we asked for some. The first bite and we knew why. The samosa was perfectly crisp and the filling had chutney mixed with it making it well, not dry. Shahi Samosa is a famous street food in Jodhpur and an absolute must eat.
Location: Nai Sadak, just outside Ghanta Ghar.
