Lassiwala, MI Road, Jaipur

Another must do if you are in the Pink City is Lassiwala on MI Road Jaipur. Be sure to reach before 1:00 PM in the afternoon or otherwise you may be too late as the Lassi runs out before 4:00 PM everyday and even earlier on most days of the week.
Only God and the owner know what they put into the Lassi and how they make it because it is far superior to the ones you get at the other Lassiwala imitation stops. Be sure that you go to the one which says clearly that it has been there since 1944 to get the real thing, because the other outlets although very good on their own are not quite at the same level.
There is no seating place so you have to have the Lassi while standing on the street. The portions come in two sizes, large and small. I always go for the larger as you just cannot get enough. Beware to understand that after having a portion you will feel like sleeping so you have to push yourself. Piece of advice - if you can, go for a snooze after having one, it will be one of the best naps you will ever have in your life.
One Lassi glass comes for Rs 30/- to Rs 40/-. It would still sell if they triple the prices.
How to get there: Lassiwala is just of the Panch Batti Mod at MI Road. Again it is an institution in Jaipur.
