The Sawai Host

Here to help

Welcome to The Sawai ✨ I can suggest dishes and drinks, tell you the stories behind our fifteen signature cocktails, sort out veg or non-veg, find something in your budget, or note a table booking. What are you in the mood for?
Hi! First time here 😊 What's The Sawai all about?
Welcome — we're honoured to have you ✨ The Sawai was imagined as more than a place to dine: a place where occasions are celebrated and conversations linger, in the spirit of Jaipur's royal hospitality. The kitchen runs across three cuisines — modern Asian (a robata grill, dumplings and a live sushi bar), Mediterranean, and modern Indian — and the bar is The Court: fifteen signature cocktails, each with its own story. What are you in the mood for?
Tell me about the signature cocktails
Our bar book reads like a royal chronicle 🍸 Every signature is ₹890, in four chapters: • The Sovereign — Maharaja, Maharani • The Royal House — Yuvraj, Rajkumar, Rajkumari • Royal Architecture — Mehrab, Jharoka, Sheesh Mahal, Jhumar, Jharna • The Soul of the Palace — Baagh, Gulabi Shaam, Jashn-e-Sawai, Galiyara, Mehfil-e-Sawai Gin, vodka, tequila or whiskey — what do you usually enjoy? I'll find your character.
I like gin, something floral
Then meet Jhumar — “The Light of the Palace” 🌸 Monkey 47 Schwarzwald dry gin, elderflower & melon cordial and jasmine soda — floral, light, crisp and aromatic. It's named for the chandeliers that hung over the royal halls, where light travelling through crystal brought the whole room alive. Would you like the Yuvraj too? Blue pea, lavender and yuzu with Hapusa gin.
What's the story of the Maharaja?
The Maharaja — “The Absolute Authority” 👑 Every sunrise, the Maharaja gathered his council before the kingdom awoke; his wisdom balanced strength with compassion and shaped the future of Sawai Riyasat. In the glass: Tanqueray No. TEN, Aperol, pistachio liqueur and a yuzu & strawberry clarified sparkle — citrusy, bittersweet, nutty and sparkling. ₹890.
We're 4, mostly veg. What should we share?
A lovely table for four 🌿 • Green Curry Dumplings — rabbit-shaped, on Thai green curry with chilli oil • Asparagus Tempura sushi — on blue pea rice (take the 8 pcs) • Sawai-Raj Kachori — beetroot yogurt foam, dal sponge, tamarind and mint • Vegetarian Mezze Platter — the whole spread, with balloon bread Then a curry with breads? Anyone at the table eat chicken or seafood?
Something hearty and Rajasthani for the non-veg guys
The house has just the thing 🔥 • Sawai Laal Maas — lamb slow-braised with Mathania red chillies, yogurt and garlic, with Khamiri Roti • Ahuna Mutton — slow-cooked in onion and yogurt with whole garam masala, with Hing Sattu Parantha • Bankipore Mutton Goli Kebab — to start, with a pahadi saffron dip Every curry here is cooked in its own deg — no base gravy, no batch cooking.
