Peacock Rooftop Restaurant

Why travellers recommend it

It is a rooftop that is also a proper restaurant, open from breakfast through dinner, in the guesthouse district where most independent travellers stay. That combination — terrace, full menu, early opening, walkable from budget accommodation — is rare in Jaipur.

🍽️ What to order

Rajasthani dishes — laal maas, gatte ki sabzi and dal baati churma are all on the menu, though Spice Court in Civil Lines is the stronger choice if Rajasthani cooking is the only reason you are going out.

Breakfast on the terrace — opening around 8 AM makes this one of the few Jaipur rooftops you can use in the morning, which is when the terrace is quietest and coolest.

Continental — useful for travellers who have had enough Indian food for one day, which happens more often than guidebooks admit.

🌇 The terrace

Sunset over Bani Park towards the old city is the draw. Arrive about 30 minutes before sunset for a table. It is considerably quieter than Tapri Central, which is either a merit or a disappointment depending on what you want.

📍 Getting there

• Hari Kishan Somani Marg, Bani Park — about 10 minutes north-west of the old city and 5 minutes from MI Road
• Walkable from most Bani Park guesthouses, which is the main reason it is recommended
• Uber and Ola both operate in Jaipur

If you are staying in Bani Park, this is your default dinner. If you are staying in the old city, Spice Court or Niros is a better use of the evening.
