Rambagh Palace needs no introduction — it’s not just a hotel, it’s the Jaipur experience.
And if you’re visiting with someone new to the city, a stop at Steam — the heritage train-turned-restaurant — is non-negotiable. It’s part nostalgia, part novelty, and always a thrill.
Since our group had more kids than usual, Steam was the unanimous choice. And here’s how it unfolded:
Started with the Keema Pav — rich, dark, and aromatic. The keema was perfectly spiced, and the soft pav soaked up every bit of flavour. Simple, indulgent, and irresistible. A must-order.
Then came the Hot Dog — but this wasn’t your ballpark version. Topped with onion, fresh salad leaves, and slathered with house-made mustard and ketchup, it packed a punch. Familiar, but elevated.
The Chicken Drumsticks followed — nicely done, with a sweet and spicy glaze that hit the right notes.
The Mexican Platter? Comforting. Nothing memorable, but it did what it needed to.
Same with the Pesto Pizza — not spectacular, but satisfying enough.
And then came the desserts. Unfortunately, this is where the evening dipped.
We weren’t in the mood for Indian sweets, so we tried the vegan ice creams and the brownie.
The ice creams were… just okay.
The brownie looked promising but missed the brief entirely — neither soft, nor gooey. All show, little substance.
Full marks to Steam for ambiance and nostalgia. The food? Flashes of brilliance, but some misses too.
Still, for first-time visitors and younger company, it’s an experience worth having.
