On The Rocks

On The Rocks is a dining venue on Circuit House Road, near Ajit Bhawan in Ajit Colony, Jodhpur. Set within the Khaas Bagh property, it combines a heritage setting with a menu that brings together Indian, European and Asian influences. The result is a restaurant suited to meals that are as much about atmosphere and conversation as they are about the food.

The setting draws on Jodhpur’s princely-era character without turning the dining room into a formal museum. An Indo-Saracenic palace provides the architectural backdrop, while Raj-period memorabilia and a collection of vintage automobiles add visual interest around the property. The cars are presented as part of the overall experience, giving arrivals and time between courses an added sense of occasion.

Dining takes place across indoor and open-air settings. The Vintage Room offers a more enclosed atmosphere, while the open-to-sky alfresco courtyard brings dining outdoors beneath the surrounding heritage architecture. Both settings support a relaxed pace, making the venue suitable for an evening meal, a longer conversation or a stop during a city visit. The atmosphere is polished but unhurried, with the historic surroundings doing much of the decorative work.

The menu covers several culinary traditions rather than concentrating on a single regional style. Indian cooking sits alongside European and Asian selections, creating flexibility for mixed groups and diners with different preferences. The broader dining approach reflects the setting, with familiar international choices placed alongside Indian flavours. Portions and menu choices can vary, so guests with particular dietary requirements should raise them with the restaurant before ordering.

Drinks are part of the wider Khaas Bagh experience. The Phantom Bar is styled around classic motoring and vintage design, with spirits and signature cocktails served in an intimate lounge setting. It provides an option for a drink before or after dinner, although the restaurant and bar have distinct identities within the property.

On The Rocks offers a fitting setting for visitors exploring Rajasthan who want a meal in surroundings connected to Jodhpur’s heritage. It can work for couples, families, solo diners and business meals, with the varied menu and choice of settings allowing the occasion to remain informal or more considered. The combination of regional context, international cuisine, vintage vehicles and open-air dining gives the venue a clear identity near the city’s Circuit House area.
