The first piece on the places to eat in Amritsar received a very
good response. It triggered a thought. Why not have a list of places to eat for
key touristy towns.
I requested a cousin sister, who has lived in Jaipur for over
thirty years, to help with a similar list. This one includes street food and
restaurants but excludes high end restaurants. She has classified them into
vegetarian, non-vegetarian, snacks, sweets, tea lovers, reputed old restaurants
and places to shop. Since she did not want her name to appear put mine. All credit
to her, shortcomings are mine.
