The Stepwell Hotel Rooftop

The Stepwell Hotel Rooftop is a terrace restaurant at Stepwell House, positioned beside Toor Ji ka Jhalra in Jodhpur’s Makrana Mohalla. The setting looks across the Old Town towards Mehrangarh Fort, giving the restaurant a clear connection to the city’s historic landscape. As daylight fades, the terrace takes on a more intimate character, with candlelit tables, fort views and the lights of the old city below.

The menu brings together Indian and international cooking, with grills and tapas adding a choice of smaller plates and fire-led dishes. Cocktails, domestic and imported beers, and wine are also available, making the rooftop suitable for a relaxed drink as well as a full meal. The terrace is presented as a setting for romantic dinners, while its open-air position also suits a quiet sundowner or an evening meal after exploring Jodhpur.

Breakfast and lunch are served on the rooftop, extending its use beyond the evening. The nearby Stepwell Café provides the hotel’s breakfast service, with cooked-to-order eggs, cereals, fresh fruit, pastries, coffee and masala chai. Lunch and dinner at the café include Indian and Western favourites, along with drinks, and the café offers a more casual place for reading, internet use or a board game. These two dining spaces give the property a choice of settings within the same heritage hotel.

The rooftop’s appeal lies in its combination of elevated outdoor dining and a historic Rajasthan setting. The view towards Mehrangarh Fort changes with the light, while evening calls from the surrounding city add to the local atmosphere. It works particularly well for diners looking for a scenic meal, an after-sightseeing drink or a candlelit occasion in the old city. The address is Stepwell House Roof Top, Toor Ji ka Jhalra, Makrana Mohalla, Gulab Sagar, Jodhpur 342001.
