Shikaar Bagh - Restaurant and Bar

Lovely restaurant in an incredibly quiet, walkable and serene area. They have both a charming outdoors patio as well as gorgeous seating area indoors. The whole "neighborhood" is full of cute boutiques and other restaurants/bars, anchored by a fancy hotel in the middle. Food was delicious, maybe a bit expensive with most main dishes at $10 or so, though that was more than compensated by the absolute charm of the restaurant.

A beautifully maintained place located in Narain Niwas, offering a charming heritage vibe. The ambience is excellent—both indoor and outdoor areas are thoughtfully done, making it a great spot to spend a relaxed evening. The staff is exceptionally courteous. We didn’t like one of the dishes we ordered, but the staff proactively replaced it, which was a really nice gesture. Overall, a pleasant experience with good service and a serene atmosphere."

What to get+expect: Shikaar bagh is, in my experience, even better than its famous neighbor Bar Palladio. With both Indian and Asian menus that actually shine equally well. Add in the lush outdoor vibe, peaceful setting, and helpful staff, and this is a place you don’t want to miss. This is the first time I was so busy enjoying my food that I didn’t take any pictures of it. • Location & Parking: Part of a larger property that also includes shops and a hotel. Ample parking (a rarity in Jaipur) and a peaceful atmosphere away from the city’s noise. Perfect for lingering: lunch plus a stroll around the shops. • Ambience: Indoor and outdoor seating, both excellent. The outdoor patio is especially great in pleasant weather: my friends and I sat outside while it rained, and it was perfect. More green and relaxed than the vibrant-blue aesthetic next door, but food and setting more than make up for it. • Food (Asian focus): Sushi: Tried spicy salmon and rock shrimp rolls: both delicious, but the rock shrimp was a standout. Korean Fried Chicken (KFC): Absolute 10/10. Dry, smoky, BBQ-rich—huge hit at the table. Dumplings: Ordered shrimp krapow and truffle: both exceptional, fine-dining quality. Dessert: Tiramisu was solid and satisfying - so WHIPPED and light Tip: Go heavy on appetizers here; everything we tried was excellent. Drinks: Raspberry Cooler was refreshing and well-balanced. Cocktail/mocktail options fit well with the food. • Service: Quiet, efficient, and very helpful. Staff was attentive without being overbearing. Smoking area available outside. • Pricing & Practical Tips: Didn’t feel overpriced for the quality. We didn’t need reservations on a weekday, but weekends or tourist season may require a booking. Paid 6000/3 people (great for the experience) • Overall: Shikaar Bagh nails both Indian and Asian menus, something most restaurants can’t pull off. Peaceful setting, green outdoors, helpful staff, and food that doesn’t miss. Highly recommend for groups, couples, or anyone wanting to enjoy Jaipur dining beyond just aesthetics.

Had a lovely time at Shikarbagh, located inside the beautiful Narain Niwas Palace. The ambiance is charming with an old-world, royal feel—open-air seating surrounded by greenery really adds to the vibe. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy a meal or drinks, especially in the evening. Would definitely recommend it for a chilled-out evening with friends or family.

Great ambience in the restaurants and bar inside the Narayan Niwas complex. BUT PLEASE TAKE OFF JUNGLEE MAAS FRIM YOUR MENU - it was the worst Junglee Maas ever.... it WASN'T Junglee Maas! Sad, that restaurants pass off anything to unsuspecting tourists!

🚨 Customer Safety Alert – Shikaar Bagh Restaurant 🚨 I want to raise a serious concern regarding a deeply disturbing experience I had at Shikaar Bagh restaurant. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, I was threatened by three staff members, including a person named Vikram Sai, for sitting at a 4-seater table while being only two guests. They aggressively forced us to vacate the seat mid-visit, creating a hostile and intimidating environment. What’s worse, they insisted I pay the full bill for items I couldn’t even consume due to their threatening behavior. I was not allowed to even finish my drink in peace. This is not only a violation of basic hospitality but also raises serious concerns about customer safety and fair treatment. This kind of unprofessional and unsafe behavior must not be tolerated. I have attached my bill, which includes the names of the server and cashier involved, and I demand that strict action be taken against Vikram Sai and all those responsible. I am sharing this on every social media platform to ensure this incident reaches the highest levels of accountability. No customer should ever feel unsafe or threatened at a public establishment.

⭐ Review: Extremely Disappointing Anniversary Lunch at Shikarbagh, Jaipur We visited Shikarbagh yesterday for my anniversary lunch with eight close family members, expecting a pleasant experience based on past recommendations. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve ever had — both in terms of food quality and the staff’s response. Food Issues (Almost Every Item Was Sent Back): • The soups arrived lukewarm, and had to be reheated. • The risotto was completely saltless, and was taken back to the kitchen. • The pizza was half-cooked, sent back, and returned over-baked to the point where the toppings had no flavour left. • Salads were also far below acceptable standards. • The only two dishes worth mentioning were the Baked Nachos and the Paneer Khurchan Bruschetta. Throughout the meal, we found ourselves waiting, complaining, and apologised to repeatedly, instead of enjoying what was supposed to be a special family lunch. Service & Billing Experience: The most disappointing part came while settling the bill. Despite acknowledging all the issues, the manager simply said he was “sorry” and refused to adjust anything, stating it was “company policy” and nothing more could be done. We were charged the full amount (~₹10,000) for food that was either returned, remade poorly, or left half-eaten due to quality. The attitude was blunt, dismissive, and showed zero ownership — as if offering repeated apologies was enough to make up for the experience. Final Impression: My family had recommended Shikarbagh based on earlier visits, but even they were shocked by what happened. This experience has ensured that I will never return, nor recommend this place to anyone. Poor food is one thing — but poor food combined with unprofessional handling and no accountability is completely unacceptable. For a restaurant of this stature, this level of carelessness and indifference is extremely surprising.

We stopped here at Shikaar Bagh at Narain niwas on the way to Delhi. A neat and a clean place , clean bathrooms and smiling staff. Just as we were nearly decided on the menu , the waiter Santosh showed us the ‘ fasting ( falahari ) menu ‘ and seeing the variety of offerings we decided to order from the fasting menu. It was the best decision and the yummiest food we have had . After roaming around in the shopping markets we were very hungry . We ordered lauki ka raita, falahari kofta curry, sabudane ki khichdi, samaj ki khichdi , kuttu, rajgira, singhada rotis and kesari makhana ki kheer . Chef Ramchandar Singh was outstanding! He was polite and very sweet as he personally came out to ask us if everything was to our taste . ! Waiter Santosh was very polite brought out the food and served us with joy and waiter Ravi packed the remainder food for us to take with us as we didn’t want to waste any of it 😁. Thank you Shikaar bagh ! We will come again !!
