Top 10 Must-Visit Places for the Best Ghewar in Jaipur

Walking through the bazaars of Jaipur this time of the year, you’ll catch the scent of desi ghee, flour, and sugar filling the air in every corner of the Walled City, thanks to the beloved Rajasthani sweet, ghewar. Although a year-round favorite, ghewars fly off the shelves during the monsoon festivities of Sinjara or Teej, with friends and relatives gifting boxes to each other. Traditionally topped with a luscious layer of sweetened milk called rabdi, ghewar is now being reinvented with toppings like Nutella, Biscoff, fresh fruit, and more. Whether you’re craving a traditional version or a spin-off, Jaipur’s foodies have their favorite spots for ghewar in the city.
