Sardar market, around the clock tower in Jodhpur, is always buzzing with colour and activity.

And there’ s plenty of good spots close buy for snacks and meals.

Near the Nothern Gate – Omelette Shop, Mishrilal Hotel, Indique Restaurant

There’s also Spice Paradise, offering spices and cooking classes, up the road from the Northern Gate.

But it’s also pretty hectic in this part of town. I don’t think I’d ever been warned so much before about hard sell and scams as when I arrived in Jodhpur.

Outside the Southern Gate there is also Shahi Snacks, good for samosas and mirchi bada.

Down the road from the Southern Gate is Priya Restaurant, good for Thali (fresher at lunchtime than dinner (in the rainy season particularly) I’m told and Janta Sweet Home, good for Mawa Kachori  and other sweet delicacies.
