A rooftop café facing Jaisalmer Fort
Our roof faces the fort head on, four hundred metres up the hill. The kitchen up here serves breakfast, coffee, cold drinks and dinner, to guests and to anyone who walks up from the lane.
Open from breakfast to dinner. Times to confirm
From breakfast to the floodlights
Everything is served on the roof, facing the fort, and the fort changes colour as the day goes on.
-
Morning
Breakfast, from the kitchen up here. If you are staying, it is not in the room rate: order it on the roof and it is charged separately.
-
Afternoon
Coffee and cold drinks. The whole length of the wall is in full sun through the heat of the day.
-
Last light
The hour most people come up for. The sandstone goes from yellow to orange to a burnt pink, and the string lights come on along the roof.
-
After dark
Dinner. The floodlights come on along the wall, and the town lights up below it.

Good food, good price and really friendly staff, plus an excellent view of the fort from the rooftop!

Great experience i had here in mama mia hostel and had good rajsthani food from the restaurant which is inside the hostel. Staff is very friendly and gentle towards guests and prices are comparatively cheap as well, must visit...!!
