This plain-Jane Rajasthani place has more to offer than one would expect. While the North Indian fare and breakfast buffet is the draw here, nothing can beat the aloo or gobi stuffed parathas served with tangy lime pickle.
Go for the: Aloo or Gobi Paratha

Brunch
Plot 17
They’ve tweaked the regular fries recipe and turned it into something even more amazing called the Latin French Fries. This dish is made using potato fries topped with south-west sauce, barbeque chicken sausages and fried egg, served with a side of veggies. Pair it up with a freshly made mojito and it’s a full meal.
