The tent-roofed Trio restuarant was a real surpise. We ate all our meals there, and it was always crowded. It has indoor eating area area, and an outdoor one, which was more popular. Table s had bright red tablecloths, and seating was comfortable. Service is quick, but relaxed, and the menu , although mainly vegetarian, was quite varied. All the food was delicious.
At night, the place really comes alive...........live Rajasthani Folk music, with singers, play until well after midnight. Another great feature is the fact that although it gets busy, there is not any pressure to hurry ones meal. The restuarant is in a good area, just on Gandhi Chowk.

Favorite Dish: Vegetarian Thali

So many people and sources have given Trio exultant reviews and a some for Desert Boy too. Although it might not be fair to compare but if I had to choose one, it would be Desert Boy!

Both have excellent views of the fort; Trio from the roof, Desert Boy from its garden. What makes Desert Boy stand out is the prime reason for a restaurant in the first place: the food. The dishes at Trio were a tad subdued I suppose, whereas the preparation at Boy felt more.. daring, and true to the cuisine.

By the way, I'm not sure how Saffron's (another new popular place a stone's throw from Trio) main course is but if there Honey Pancakes are anything to go by, it's certainly worth a try. It's cute how it's in the dessert section of the menu.

Favorite Dish: Mushroom Paneer at Desert Boy Dhani!

Too many flies in this place for our liking, the only reason we went here is beacause it came as complimentary with our Room in Hotel Milan. However we didn't repeat the mistake twice. Poor service, good food, too many flies!

We headed here on New Years Eve, they had arranged for live Rajasthani music whic was a nice touch. The owner himself waited on us as we arrived early to an empty floor. He was extremely polite and served a sumptuous meal apart from which he sourced some White wine and some sweet from outside his restaurant to ensure we had a memorable time! A good view of some typical Rajasthan Markets was an added bonus!

Favorite Dish: Macaroni & cheese as well as veg pakoras

Once you are done with your walkaround inside Jaisalmer Fort, return to the main courtyard where you commenced. Sprinkled around the edges of this square are a host of eateries. Some of them offer open air seats for you to watch the world go by as you munch your edibles.
One such joint, at this square, proclaims its sympathies for the `Free Tibet' cause, which you will find written on the wall just outside its entrance. Work your way up the narrow, steep, stoned stairs, and plonk yourself at a vantage to watch the crowd.

Favorite Dish: This eatery serves piping hot steamed momos (vegetarian and chicken). Ten pieces of such momos, served with an appropriately red hot dip, set me back by INR 70. Wash it down with a bottle of Coke. A satisfying experience awaits......

Colourful awnings, perfect lighting and friendly staff at Saffron welcome you. The restaurant is part of Nachana Haveli, but non-residents at the Haveli are welcome to savour the fare at Saffron. The rooftop location provides a stunning view of Jaisalmer Fort. I recommend this place especially for dinner, when the view of an illuminated fort can transport you instantly to magic-land.

Talented children from the locality form a colourful, jivey folk band to keep you entertained with their rustic, rhythmic music set in the evenings. Try determining how they play the khartaal!

Favorite Dish: Laal Maans (i.e. red meat) with tandoori roti is a must for the non-vegetarians. The chicken curry with steamed rice is also quite decent.

If you happen to saunter in on any morning, have a shot at their honey pancakes. Quite sublime!
