Restaurant Harigarh

⭐ 1/5 — Hari Garh, Udaipur: Great lakeside view, disappointing food & value I visited Hari Garh Restaurant (Hanuman Ghat, outside Chand Pole, Udaipur) because of the lakefront location and the promise of authentic local food. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a classic case of view > food. What earned the single star • Stunning lakeside ambience. The terrace seating overlooking the water is beautiful at night and is easily the best part of the experience. Why the rating is so low • Below-average Lal Maas. The restaurant’s supposed “go-to” Rajasthani specialty was underwhelming in flavor and execution. For a dish that represents Udaipur for many visitors, it simply didn’t deliver. • Highly overpriced for what you get. My bill (attached) for one Lal Maas (₹840), plain rice (₹250), three tandoori rotis (₹60 each), fresh lime—salt & sweet (₹120 + ₹100) and bottled water (₹30) came to ₹1,596 with taxes (CGST 2.5% + SGST 2.5%). At several other good places in Udaipur, ₹800–900 comfortably covers a full meal for one—here that’s roughly the price of just the Lal Maas. • Value mismatch. The pricing feels driven by the location rather than the quality on the plate. When the signature dish is mediocre and expensive, the overall experience suffers. Bottom line Come for the view of Lake Pichola, but if you care about taste and value, there are many better restaurants in Udaipur to explore. For me, Hari Garh was overpriced with less-than-average food quality—not recommended.

I tried the Paneer Pasanda with naan at Harigarh Restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The dish had a rich, white creamy texture , dry fruits with a slightly sweet flavor that paired well with the soft, fresh naan. The lakefront ambiance added so much charm—it felt serene and perfect for a relaxed dinner. Service was attentive, and the staff made sure everything was served warm and fresh. A lovely spot if you want good vegetarian food with an authentic Udaipur view!

This lakeside restaurant has stunning views that are definitely worth the high prices - but only if you can snag one of the limited lakeside seats, which are usually occupied. Unfortunately, the service was slow and poor, and the place was extremely crowded. The food tasted good, but the takeaway box packaging raised some questions about whether it was prepared in-house or sourced from elsewhere. Despite the drawbacks, the view is breathtaking, and if you're willing to overlook the service issues, it's a lovely spot to enjoy a meal.

The place has a very pleasant ambiance, and the staff specially Ranjit are extremely polite and attentive. They treat customers with great respect and make sure everyone feels comfortable and well taken care of.

The restaurant is alright and people are mainly attracted here for the view. The staff is very helpful and even in rush hours they cater to everyone's minor needs. Food quality is average and a bit on spicier side. Also, especially on weekends when restaurant is working at full capacity, the staff mentions a minimum wait time of 40 minutes on the order. Make a reservation beforehand, will save your waiting time, as crowd starts pouring in 7pm onwards. The tikka dishes are good. Ambience is good. Good variety of alcohol and beverages available. They have live music on the weekends.

The view was just okay, but the food was honestly the worst I’ve had in Udaipur. We ordered pink sauce pasta, which they bizarrely served in a sabzi plate, and the pizza was awful – thick bakery-style crust drowned in ketchup instead of real sauce. It was so bad we had to leave the food, completely inedible. Feels like a tourist trap – overpriced and poor quality. Would strongly recommend avoiding this place. Also the guy who was performing live, ruined the experience. It would have been better if they just played music on speakers.

Food was average. Waiting period for lake side is a bit longer on the weekends. Live music was not that good. View is good and seating is very comfortable.

Absolutely a nightmare experience in Udaipur! Ordered their so-called famous mutton dhungar, it was smelly, hard, and fibrous. The staff seemed completely disinterested in taking orders or attending to guests. After repeatedly calling them and explaining the issue, they “replaced” the dish — only to bring back the same plate reheated. Zero points for food quality. The view was the only saving grace, but even the seating area had red ants and poor maintenance. Management seriously needs to work on hygiene and hospitality. At this price, there are far better lake-view restaurants in Udaipur.
