These hotels are now delivering food in Jaipur

Reading Time: 4 minutes

With the recently imposed curfew guidelines in the Pink City, the restaurants are closed for dine-in once again. As we battle to flatten the curve, the hospitality industry is in a state of flux. However, this time they are better prepared to tackle the crisis with delivery and takeaway processes well in place. In fact, the Pandemic has also pushed many top-notch hotels of the city to take the road less traveled and deliver their gourmet selections to people in the confines of their homes. While some are making use of delivery aggregators like Swiggy and Zomato, others are being more cautious about the hygiene and delivering through their own team with an additional delivery charge which ranges from Rs 100 to Rs 500 depending on the distance. From healthy salads and soups to dim sums and sushi as well as festive Ramzan and IPL menus, there is a lot to please one’s palate while staying in. Let’s take a look at some of the hotels in Jaipur that have curated special delivery menus for the city’s gastronomes:

From Khow Suey to Ker Sangri

The 22 Godown located Hotel Holiday Inn is authentic Pan Asian fare from their specialty Chinese bistro – Chao as well as local delicacies like Ker Sangri, Laal Maas and Rajasthani Thali from their all day dining restaurant, Monarch. Keeping the ongoing pandemic in mind, they have also introduced new dishes in their menu. For instance, a Chinese herbal noodle broth with ginger, celery and sesame oil has been added to the soup section. While they are delivering through Swiggy and Zomato, they have a minimum order amount if you’d like to get delivery from their in-house team.
