Rawat, Polo Victory, Jaipur

Rawat. The Rawat Mishtan Bhandar is not a restaurant. The same is an institution and the fame of the outlet has spread throughout the country along with the Rajasthanis. Each and every person who has food at Rawat becomes an immediate ambassador of the outlet and trust me the same is with good reason.
Rawat is famous for its Peyaz or Onion Kachoris. Made of onion, potato and special batter, all deep fried in the shape of a kachori is Rawats core offering and quite simply is heaven on Earth. The same is only one of the various snacks and sweets you get at Rawat, the other more famed offerings being Mirchi Bhaji, Mewa Kachori but the Onion Kachori just blows me away so badly that I always get stuck at Onion Kachori.
There is no place to sit at Rawat and there is only a common table where people stand and have the Kachoris. The only problem with the Kachori is the size. You can never stop at one because of the taste and it is a bit too much if you are greedy enough to order two.
Rawat is definitely a must do if you are ever in Jaipur. Probably right after the Amber fort:)
A meal, breakfast for two at Rawats will cost you Rs 150/-. Two of you should ideally order 3 Kachoris and a mineral water bottle.
How to get there: Just get into any transport and say Rawat Hotel, Polo Victory. Anybody in Jaipur will know where it is. Polo Victory is a movie hall. A big testament to the quality of Rawat from personal experience is that every time I have been there the auto/taxi driver has also not been able to stay away from the Peyaz Kachoris.
