The most delicious-looking dining room to open in India this year bears the cheeky name 51 Shades of Pink. Well-known Indian designer and the creative director of Delhi housewares emporium Good Earth, Adil Ahmad was tasked by Princess Diya Kumari to enliven the royal guesthouse of the Rajmahal, so he played on Jaipur’s nickname, “the Pink City,” and drawing inspiration from the City Palace’s Sarvato Bhadra courtyard, he designed a hot pink wallpaper that plays with familiar Moghul archways. Massive crystal chandeliers and long beveled mirrors up the glamour quotient. Custom dining chairs with curvy Arabesque lines further the hint of harem appeal. Open all day for hotel guests and to non-resident guests for lunch, the restaurant serves a creative continental menu, but it is really the setting that is the main draw.

This is one of the best places in town for tandoori dishes. It’s a great spot for meat lovers, though don’t be disappointed by the less-inspired setting. The food is worth it.

This local spot specializes in kulfi, Indian ice cream, which is chewier, denser, and often studded with nuts and laced with saffron.

The most formal of the restaurants at the new Sujan Rajmahal, the Orient Occident dining room evokes the majesty of the Raj royals and specializes in Indian cuisine. Its high ceilings are coffered with deep red panels that accentuate the rich colors of the custom wallpaper and its red Moghul flowers. Other grand elements: columns, marble floors, oil paintings and leather backed dining chairs. Open only for dinner.
