I had gone for enjoying a quiet evening since reviews seemed great. But what happened today was so sad for a beautiful city like Jaisalmer, that it left me with a bad memory. I was happily having my evening snack when the owner dropped by to chat seeing me eating alone. He said he knows palmistry and can read my hand and tell my future. I politely refused him as I wanted to enjoy my meal. But after a while he came uninvited and sat at my table and started chatting again and asking me very personal questions about my family, relationships etc on the pretext of reading my hand. He wanted to know how many boyfriends I had and when was my last physical relationship!!I was shocked to the core! I told him he is asking very personal questions and hence cannot spend time chatting as I got very uncomfortable with his questions. He offered to take me around his bike and show the city in the night which I refused again saying it's getting dark as it's 8pm and I have a early morning flight to catch. I asked for my bill and even as I was paying the bill he persisted and hovered around me and told me if I change my mind I can come back to have tea and he can give a bike ride in the night! He wanted to know if my flight is confirmed if not I could spend time with him! I almost wanted to call some cops to haul this guy. I felt so unsafe that I literally ran back to my hotel thinking this guy is going to follow me. This incident left such a bad memory and spoilt my last evening in Jaisalmer!

Read moreThe service in this place was the worst I have ever experienced. Having worked in hospitality for years, I cannot believe how rude the staff were. After being seated and given menus, it transpired that, after attempting to order multiple things off the menu (which were all “not possible”), the chefs had not arrived yet and we could only get one thing on the menu (sandwiches). I don’t know why he seated us in the first place. He laughed at us when we were confused about this and did not apologise. Then our waiter could not understand what our order was (2 cheese and tomato sandwiches as per menu which we pointed to) and had to put me on the phone to the owner to explain the order. He then disappeared for half an hour and came back with the sandwiches, which were meant to come with chips. They did not have chips with them. He said this was “not possible” again and laughed in our faces multiple times. They discounted our meal in the end but it was still extremely overpriced. While the view is lovely of the fort, it is not worth it for extremely rude service and hostile atmosphere. Also the food is not good. Much better places to go in Jaisalmer. I have never written a bad review before but felt obliged to share how bad...
Read moreReally lovely family run resturant. The staff that served us where so friendly and when we finished dinner Rishi showed us around inside and explained to us how their father had opened the resturant after travelling to Italy and really missing indian food. So he wanted to bring some of Italy to Jaislemer so that the Europeans have some Italian food options in the Town to. They have a lovely view across the Fort from the rooftop and we stopped for a cool beer and glass of wine after our trek around the Fort. Defiantly a nice stop for lunch or some drinks to break up your day. We didnt actually try any pizza or Italian food as we had eaten a large breakfast so we just sampled some of the amazing home made fried potatoes and if they were anything to go by am sure the Italian food will be just as good. Beautiful interior but we enjoyed sitting outside with the Fort view which was perfect . Would be nice to for few evening drinks and some dinner. Defiantly one to try for tourists visiting Jaislemer we really enjoyed our experience, service was really good thank you and special thanks to Rishi who was so friendly...
