Jain Food and a 100% Pure Vegetarian Kitchen in Udaipur
No onion, no garlic, no root vegetables, on request — and no alcohol anywhere on the property
What “Jain food on request” means here
It means the same thing your own kitchen means by it. Proper Jain food — no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables — is available on request. No potato, no ginger, no carrot, no beetroot, no radish either — the whole underground group goes, not a token two of them. Say the word when you book and the kitchen cooks your food that way from the start rather than lifting things out of a pan at the end.
We are deliberate about the phrase “on request”. Our standing menu is pure vegetarian but it is not Jain by default: a normal dal or a normal sabzi here has onion and garlic in it like anywhere else in Rajasthan. What we are promising is that if you ask, the kitchen will cook without them — properly, and for every meal of your stay, not just the first one.
What we are not promising is a separately built Jain kitchen with its own vessels and its own staff, because we do not have one and it would be easy and dishonest to imply that we do. There is one kitchen. It is entirely vegetarian, and it cooks your food without onion, garlic or root vegetables when you ask it to. If a household-level separation is what you need, that is a fair question to put to us on the phone before you book rather than after you arrive.
The whole kitchen is pure vegetarian, not a pure-veg section of it
A great many hotels describe themselves as having vegetarian options. That is a different claim, and for a family that keeps a strictly vegetarian household it is not the one that matters. There is no non-vegetarian food anywhere in this building. Not in the restaurant, not on the room service trolley, not in a second kitchen at the back, and not carried in by another guest — we do not permit that either.
The practical consequence is that there is nothing for you to verify at the door. Nobody has to ask which pan something was cooked in, or whether the same tandoor is used for two kinds of food, because there is only one kind of food in the building. For a lot of the families who write to us, that single fact is the reason they are writing.
The range is wider than that description usually suggests. The kitchen cooks Rajasthani, north Indian, Indo-Chinese and Continental, and one table can order across all four. Dal baati churma and a plate of pasta come out of the same kitchen, which is useful when the children want one thing and the grandparents want another.
No alcohol anywhere on the property
There is no bar here, there is no drinks list, and alcohol is not served in the restaurant, on the rooftop or in the rooms. We also do not permit guests to bring it in. That is a fixed policy rather than a licensing accident, and it is worth stating plainly because it changes the character of the building in the evening.
It is the right answer for some travellers and the wrong one for others. If your idea of an evening in Udaipur involves a drink on a terrace, we are honestly not the hotel for you and you will be happier somewhere that says yes. We would rather lose that booking now than have the conversation at reception on your first night.
Meal times, and what a meal costs
| Meal | Per person |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | ₹250 |
| Lunch | ₹400 |
| Dinner | ₹400 |
5% GST is added to meal prices as well — a ₹400 thali comes to ₹420. Every price on this page is before GST.
The restaurant runs 7:00 AM - 10:30 PM, with dinner served from 6:00 PM. Outside those hours, room service runs around the clock, so an overnight journey does not have to end in a packet of biscuits. Jain preparation costs nothing extra at any of the three meals.
Where you eat
The dining hall is air-conditioned and seats 25 guests. It is a small room and that is the honest description of it — it is not a banquet floor, and on a busy evening you may wait a few turns for a table. Room service runs 24 hours and a good number of our guests use it for at least one meal of their stay.
The rooftop is a separate thing and the distinction matters. It is open daily to guests staying with us; the rooftop restaurant as such is not open yet, and anyone who is not staying here can only reach the terrace through a private booking arranged beforehand. There is more about the space, and about the food that comes out of the same kitchen, on our restaurant page.
Rooms and rates
| Room | What you get | Per night |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Room | King bed. Air-conditioned, balcony. | ₹1,999 |
| Deluxe Room | King bed. Air-conditioned, garden view. | ₹2,499 |
| Jharokha Room | King bed. Air-conditioned, jharokha balcony, city view. | ₹3,499 |
5% GST is added to the room rate — that is ₹99.95 on a ₹1,999 room, so ₹2,098.95 for the night. We would rather you saw that here than at the desk.
Rates current as of 26 August 2026 and may change. They can also vary during peak periods and on festival and wedding dates — please call +91 9414385587 to confirm the rate for your dates before you book.
Check-in is 12:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM. The full rate card, the meal prices and the GST arithmetic are on the tariff page.
Travelling as a family, or as a group
This is a 19-room hotel, which means a family group of three or four rooms is a meaningful share of the building rather than a rounding error in a booking system. In practice that is why the kitchen can cook Jain for a whole table without it becoming a production: the numbers are small enough for a person to keep track of.
Every room has a king bed, in all three categories, and every room is air-conditioned. If you need more than two people in a room, call us rather than assuming — we have not published an extra-bed rate or a child policy because we have not fixed one, and inventing a number here would be worse than asking you to ring.
A large proportion of the guests who ask us for Jain food arrive by road from Gujarat. If you are driving up from Ahmedabad, or coming the longer way from Surat, those pages cover the drive, the parking and where your driver sleeps. Fateh Sagar Lake is 200 m from the door, which is the other thing that family groups tend to care about once the car is parked.
Where you park, and where your driver sleeps
Groups arriving from Gujarat and Saurashtra usually come with their own car and, often, their own driver — so here is exactly what happens to both.
Parking is free. It is outside parking, alongside the property, and there is no charge for it — not for a night, not for a week, not for the whole of your stay.
Your driver stays free too. Drivers stay in a dormitory with a separate toilet and bathroom, at no charge, for the whole of your stay. Driver meals are not included — that is the one part of it you pay for, and we would rather you knew that here than at the desk. Tell us when you book that a driver is travelling with you, and for how many nights.
How to tell us before you arrive
Tell us when you book. One line is enough — how many of you need Jain food, and for which meals. WhatsApp is the easiest route and it leaves a written record that reception can act on; the enquiry button on this page opens a message with the right questions already in it, including a yes-or-no line for Jain food.
If you would rather speak to someone, call +91 94143 85587. That is the only number we use. Reception is staffed 24 hours, so there is no wrong time to ring, and rooms start at ₹1,999 before GST if you want to settle the booking in the same call. Every question people ask us about the kitchen is answered in full on the frequently asked questions page, and the rooms themselves are on the rooms page. If you need directions or a map before you set off, everything is on our contact page.
