Two Centuries of Heritage

A Sanctuary of History and Spice

Built during the reign of Maharana Bhim Singh in the early 19th century, Kesar Haveli has stood witness to generations of Udaipur's vibrant history. Meticulously restored over five years by local artisans, we preserved the intricate jharokhas, arched stone corridors, and the central open courtyard.

Our kitchen celebrates grandmother's recipes—slow-cooked over charcoal for hours, finished with hand-ground spices sourced directly from the old city bazaars. Dining here is not merely eating; it is stepping back in time.

Walking Route from City Palace

From the main City Palace entrance, take a scenic 7-minute walk through the vibrant silver-smith lanes of Jagdish Chowk. Turn left down the heritage stone pathway leading toward Lal Ghat; Kesar Haveli will be on your right.

Parking & Accessibility

Due to narrow ancient pathways in the old city, cars cannot park directly outside the haveli. Dedicated two-wheeler and four-wheeler parking is available at the City Palace municipal lot, a short 5-minute walk away. Complimentary electric rickshaw pickup from the parking lot can be arranged upon calling.
