If you’re looking for a really tasty, filling meal in Jaipur, you could certainly do worse than the omelette sandwiches at Sanjay Omelette.
Despite my love for ice cream, I’ve somehow gone my whole life without trying the Indian version of the dish, kulfi. I regret this mightily. Eating the kulfi at Ramchandra Kulfi Bhandar was definitely one of those “where has this been my whole life??” moments.
