Grand Minerwa Restaurant

Our restaurant is tucked away behind Hotel Minerwa in the Chandpole area of Udaipur. It’s a bit of a walk through the narrow lanes to find us at Gadiya Devra. The building is old, like most things in this part of the city. We are part of the Grand Minerwa setup, but the restaurant has its own feel. It’s not a very big space, so it can get crowded during the dinner rush. We don’t have fancy menus or anything like that. We just serve the food we know how to make, mostly local dishes that people around here like. The kitchen is small and always hot, especially in the summer. From some of the windows, you can see the rooftops of other houses and maybe a bit of the old city walls. We get a mix of locals and travelers who stumbled upon us while exploring the alleys. The tables are simple wood, and the chairs have been around for years. We don't spend money on advertising; word usually just gets around. It’s mostly just family and a few helpers running the place. We start early in the morning to get the ingredients from the market. By the time we close at night, we’re all pretty tired. It’s an honest way to make a living, and we like being in this part of Udaipur. It’s noisy and dusty outside, but inside it’s just about the food.
