In India, kachori is a popular food. Ajmer has its own take on it. If you're searching for a curry-flavored Kachori, you should try the Kadhi Kachori at Khandelwal Chaat Bhandar in Kesar Ganj.

The spicy kachori soaked in tangy kadhi creates a one-of-a-kind flavor that you'll remember for a long time. You should come here on an empty stomach since you can't just have one.

Falooda

If you've been to Ajmer during peak season, you've earned a Falooda from Indian Mix Ice Cream House. Instead of a typical plate, they serve the exquisite falooda kulfi in a wine glass. The combination of sweet syrups, vermicelli, and ice cream creates a mouth-watering burst of flavors. Falooda Ice Cream is a famous cold beverage typically produced by combining rose syrup or Rooh Afza (rose essence), Falooda Sev (vermicelli), soaking basil seeds (Sabja/Takmaria), cooled milk, crushed ice, bits of flavored gelatine topped with dried fruits, and vanilla ice cream.
