Dhola Maru Hotel & Restaurant

You can find us over at Pratap Nagar, right by the N H 8 Bypass Circle. Being near the highway means we see a lot of different faces every single day. Some people are just passing through Udaipur and need a place to rest their legs, while others are truck drivers who have been on the road for hours. The circle is always noisy with horns and traffic, but once you step inside, things get a bit more settled. We’ve got some rooms and the restaurant part where we serve whatever is fresh that day. It isn't the most modern building you’ll ever see, but it’s sturdy and it gets the job done. We spend a lot of time cleaning the dust that blows in from the highway. The staff here is mostly local guys who know the roads well. If you’re looking for something fancy with carpets and valets, this probably isn't it. We are more about having a solid roof and a warm plate of food for whoever walks through the door. Sometimes the power goes out for a bit, but we’ve got a backup ready. We just keep things running as best as we can without making a big deal of it. It’s a simple life out here by the bypass, watching the cars go by and helping travelers get some much-needed sleep or a quick, filling meal before they move on.
