Perched on the rooftop of Jhankar Haveli, with Mehrangarh Fort glowing amber against the twilight sky and the Blue City stretching endlessly below, Indique Restaurant offers a dining experience that transcends mere cuisine. It is a reverie — a dream woven from flavours, views, and centuries of Rajasthani culinary tradition.
Indique is not simply a restaurant; it is a stage where Jodhpur performs its most enchanting act. As the sun begins its descent over the Thar Desert, the rooftop transforms. Mehrangarh Fort, that colossal sentinel of Rajput power, catches the last rays of daylight and glows like a torch of amber gold. The Blue City below awakens with the sounds of evening — temple bells, children's laughter, the distant call of vendors in the Sardar Market. And at the centre of this living tableau, Indique's tables await, each positioned to offer an unobstructed view of this magnificent panorama.
The cuisine at Indique is rooted in the rich traditions of Rajasthani vegetarian cooking, elevated with contemporary presentation and global influences. Signature dishes include Dal Bati Churma — the quintessential Rajasthani meal of lentils, baked wheat balls, and sweet crumble — reimagined with organic ingredients and refined technique. The Ker Sangri, a desert berry and bean preparation unique to the Marwar region, is presented as a delicate appetiser that introduces guests to flavours they will find nowhere else in the world.
Every dish at Indique tells a story of the land and its people. The Gatte ki Sabji — gram flour dumplings in a spiced yoghurt gravy — speaks of the ingenuity of desert cooking, where flour replaces vegetables that the arid climate cannot sustain. The Laal Maas substitute, a fiery vegetarian curry using local red chillies, echoes the warrior spirit of the Rajputs who favoured bold flavours. And the sweet endings — Mawa Kachori, Ghewar, and Rasgulla — carry the festive traditions of Jodhpur's celebrations into every meal.
