A mere 5 kilometres north of the city limits of Jodhpur, on the Mandore Road,
is the Balsamand Lake Palace, overlooking the still, clear Balsamand Lake. Built
in red sandstone employing the typical ornate Rajput architectural style, it was
initially conceived as the summer residence of the Jodhpur Majarajahs.
The palace has a multi-cuisine restaurant and a coffee shop.
The open air sprawling Garden Restaurant is equally enticing on a dappled
leisurely afternoon as on a wintry night with hot fresh tandoori kababs and
little fires beside the table, both warm and welcoming.
There is also a lounge and bar.
Indian, Chinese and Continental fare is on offer in all restaurants.
