Indique
Dine on traditional tandoori and North Indian curries at this candle-lit rooftop restaurant, which flaunts some of the finest fort vistas – the ones over the Clock Tower and Umaid Bhawan aren't half bad either.

Sunset Pavilion
Umaid Bhawan Palace's regal rooftop restaurant is one-of-a-kind. Entry is via a 1940s elevator and through a private gallery of royal family photographs. The menu is equally impressive.
