In the royal kitchens of Rajasthan, food was very serious business and raised to the level of an art-form. Hundreds of cooks worked in the stately palaces and kept their recipes very closely guarded secret. Some recipes were passed on to their sons and the rest were lost forever. It was a matter of great prestige to serve unusual dishes to guests and the royal cooks were encouraged to experiment. The tales of how cooks tried to impress their guests by presenting at least one unforgettable item on the menu have now become legends. The monthly budget ran into lakhs of rupees and the royal guests were treated mouth-watering delicacies.

All our hotels offer a fine dining experience. Our heritage food and heritage brew is winning hearts.

Thakur Amar Singh Ji, famous for writing the world's longest continuous diaries, brought out a series of notes on recipes, interestingly even specifying the type of metal utensils for cooking particular dishes. Revival of ancient royal cuisine or "thikana" recipes is an added attraction at our hotels. The special royal thalis served at Narain Niwas are a treat to the soul. Mouth watering special menu is served.

Recipes served are original recipes collected by Thakur Amar Singh Ji during his life time. Most recipes will not be found anywhere else. These are made in complete supervision of the family members – all culminating in a once-in-a-lifetime experience for each of our guests.
