DINING

Nothing reveals the diversity in Indian culture better than the diversity of its cuisine. The northern Indian breads - chapatti, phulka, roomali, tandoori, naan, paratha - are unique in themselves. 'Rice tables' from southern India offer a heady and delicately spiced range. And the variety of vegetarian dishes in Indian cuisine must surely be the widest in the world. The food at Savista - we serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food - is a blend of the various regional cuisines of the country and Western dishes. The stress is on offering fresh, fragrant, lightly-spiced and healthy food that is carefully prepared and lovingly served.

The meals are usually laid out as buffets. Breakfast is generally outdoors, set in a grove of trees alive with bird-song. Lunch and dinner are served both al-fresco and indoors.

We are happy to accommodate guests' food allergies, dietary restrictions and preferences. Please let us know of these in advance, or discuss them with our chef once you get here.

The prices range from USD 7 to USD 15, depending on the meal of day.

The bar (operational from October 2007) with its crackling fireplace and cozy seating extends into the airy baradari (pergola), and offers its own invitation to unwind and relax. Among other things it offers a selection of heritage liqueurs of Rajasthan.
