During my solo trip to Jodhpur last year, I avoided the crowded food joints in town and decided to try a restaurant outside the city limits for a peaceful meal.
Surprisingly there were not many pure vegetarian restaurants along the highway for a long time and I was getting hungry as I was driving for a long time.
After some more driving, I spotted the Shankar Bhairav Restaurant.
Food Tip: Pure vegetarian restaurants in India are most likely named after Gods like Srinath, Sai Krupa, Datta Krupa, Jai Ganesh, and so on…
The restaurant had a wide entrance.
The storefront had a photo of the Thali dish - an assortment of various food items all served together in a single order.
They also had free cool drinking water and a wash basin outside.
This is the view from the inside looking past the cash counter.
It shows plenty of parking space.
This is the spacious seating arrangement.
I could view the trucks and other vehicles passing by on the highway in the backdrop of the mountains while enjoying a peaceful meal.
This is the Veg Thali consisting of tandoori roti, papad, salad, chilies, chopped onion, lemon slices, rice curd, paneer sabji, and boondi raita.
It was a lavish spread, and the taste was great.
They also had an elaborate, accessible washroom with a wide handwash basin with soap and a mirror.
Here is their menu for à La Carte orders.
Finally, here is the souvenir cap that I purchased a few hours before the meal at the Military Museum in Jodhpur - more on that in the next post.
