Fodor's Expert Review Risala

If you're looking to feel like royalty and splurge on a wining-and-dining experience with impeccable service, head to this elegant, formal dining room adorned with portraits from the royal collection—or opt for the balcony overlooking verdant gardens. The contemporary European and unique Indian dishes are a welcome change from the usual Indian and Rajasthani fare, and the drinks menu is extensive, and includes internationally sourced wines. If you like seafood, you're in luck—try the prawn curry in a tomato cream sauce. The roast chicken, roast lamb and pastas are also very well done, while desserts are superb.

Nonhotel guests may have trouble securing a reservation during the busy season; call ahead.
