Risala

Jodhpur


Risala is one of a selection of elegant eateries at Umaid Bhawan Palace. Celebrating the famous Jodhpur Lancers (Risala means cavalry), it is a relaxed fine-dining experience with Indian and international dishes.

Behind Risala on the colonnaded western verandah is Pillars, a breezy coffee shop and informal à la carte eatery. There are sublime views across the lawn towards Mehrangarh.
