Tigers Experience of Udaipur



Tigers  Gastronomic Experience of UDAIPUR - 
tried to do everything in three days LOL - Udai Vilas , Lake palace ,Natraj , Ambrai - the winner was Udai Vilas for sure . ok here goes step by step


Natraj first meal - disappointed - they dont serve the authentic rajasthani Thaali for some reason - guess its the second generation which is making the changes - the place is amazing 1000 thalis a day and this is what i call fast food . The gujrati Daal was the winner - Yes clean hygienic for sure , wanted to check out the kitchen but was stopped by the owner dunno why - the amazing part was that all the waiters were bare feet and the floor was spotless - when asked why - the young owner said his dadajee always said that a guest at home shud always be served with bare feet as a part of the respect to the guest  , hence the same is followed here too .






Ambrai - Touristy . Beautiful location on lake pichola and thats its - Dont eat just grab a drink and retreat .Very touristy , beautiful view of the Hotels and the palaces - perfect for romance .



Supposed to be Laal Maas - burnt flavors fo the masalla.

Special AmBrai Chicken 



Taj Lake palace -  The Lake palace is like being on a cruise . Boy the experience is something after the hype they have created - permission to go there , id check ,cover charge - were all the hurdles we went thru before the GM called and invited us over - awesome boat ride . The food made by Chef Manish joshi was great - he did magic . The sad part is that everything out there is show business ,thanks to the frequency of celebrities to the property  Awesome place to visit and spend a evening - we personally wud not stay der - every room smelt of dampness . Very gordy or as they say over opulent . The Food pure Rajasthani Commercial . The Ambiance awesome .













4. Trident - this is really funny , landed in Udaipur escorted to Udai Vilas saw the menu got a fright ran to trident to eat - ordered the most disastorus meal ran back with a dilema , now what to do ? Hahahahaha - eventually gave into the Udai Vilas hospitality and enjoyed the food .

UDAI Vilas - here comes the king - till our visit we had a fixation about Taj being the best in hospitality - man Oberoi beat them hollow - every aspect of our stay was luxurious - the food - Deep Mohan Singh Arneja created magic and did not leave anything to convince us about his culinary skills - each dish was crafted . hats off to you deep .
6. BEDLA house - Had the pleasure to meet one of the members of the Royal family mr Vijay singh Bedla who are the originators of Laal Maans and khudd cooking - so much respect , so much affection - so Royal i must say - they made us sample the lla maans and also the Bedla suace - the family never discloses the secret behind the fab taste - if in Udai pur u must call them and have a meal with them .
 Assorted Sweet to be welcomed








Deep explaining his passion for food - A thorough Gentleman and a true Punjabi 

Mid meral snaclk Duck Confit with the tradiotional club Sandwich 

 Simple refereshing salads 


Cheese Omelette 



Eggs Benedict with Truffle Omelette

 This is the Ecstasy of eating a Eggs Benedict perfectly made - Its the drool .

What i missed mentioning was the Special invite by the Royal Family of Bedla - an amazing experience - the y made us taste the Laal Maas which as per them has been invented by their family , and the guy who made it his name was Laal hence Laal Maas . Then they have a signature bedla suace - which is a reduction of several masalas and preseved for years to mature - yes one drop of it and the dish was a killer . Their hospitality was outstanding - i got scared actually with so much politeness . 


NET NET Udaipur has more temples than most of the cities in India , people are very nice , the city is small can be covered in 20 mins , the weather weas better than Dilli - The FOOD was wonderful and worth every pound that we oput on - The Hospitality of Rajasthan was DIVINE and calling us back .
