Food Festivals & Food Events in Jaipur
Food events in Jaipur range from walking tours through the old city to hotel food festivals and pop-up markets, and the listings below are updated daily. The simplest introduction is Masala Chowk in Ram Niwas Bagh, an open-air court of 21 stalls serving the city's best-known street foods for a ₹10 entry fee. Food walks go deeper, taking small groups through Johari Bazaar, Chaura Rasta and the lanes around them for kachori, mirchi vada, lassi and sweets, and Raja Park is the neighbourhood locals name for evening chaat and tandoori snacks. For the full Rajasthani thali of dal baati churma, gatte and ker sangri, Chokhi Dhani and similar village resorts serve it with folk performances. Hotels run regional food festivals, Sunday brunches and festive buffets through the winter, and markets such as the Street & Soul Bazaar bring food stalls together with music. Some food is seasonal. Ghewar appears around Teej and Gangaur, til laddoos, gajak and feeni around Makar Sankranti in January, and mithai counters are at their busiest before Diwali. This page lists food festivals, food walks, tastings, pop-up dinners and brunches in Jaipur.

Good to know
- Go hungry to a food walk and skip the meal before. Portions add up over two or three hours.
- Old-city walks are best on weekday mornings or evenings. Many shops are shut on Sundays.
- Ask about spice levels. Mirchi vada and some chaats are hotter than they look.
- Hotel food festivals usually run for a week or more. Weeknights are quieter and sometimes cheaper.
- Carry cash for street stalls, and stick to busy counters with high turnover.
