LOCATION
The #StepwellCafé is situated in one of the most unique locations in the world. Perched on the edge of Toorji's Jhalra, an early 18th century Stepwell it offers unparalleled views of this wondrous monument.
If you can steal your eyes away from the ancient architectural marvel that is the Stepwell, the Café also offers an excellent vantage point looking out over the famous Stepwell Square, and above to the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort, and beyond in to the bustle of life and the indigo-brushed blue rooftops of the famed Walled City of Jodhpur. An absolute must visit in Jodhpur.
Spread across three floors the ground floor is air conditioned and offers seated dining; the first floor offers al-fresco dining with modern bistro styled seating and at the very top the ‘Lounge-Machan' is the perfect 360° look out with repose sofas and white muslin curtains to chill or relax and refresh. Food and Drink is served on all three floors. The Interiors of the Café were designed by V. Sunil and Mohit Jayal of Weiden & Kennedy and Motherland fame, with the help of Askhat Bhatt of Architectural Dicipline; who wanted to create an atmosphere and a visual feast of the very best of Jodhpur combined with a swanky modern day flourish. Furnished by Krea, www.kreaworld.com; India's top furniture designer brings a contemporary twist to this medieval location with its cool vintage Edison filament light bulbs and high-bar look out points. Bedecked in traditional Royal Jodhpur tent styled covers with the famous JDH ‘star’ and the Marshal wafting out its cool tunes, the Stepwell House Café is THE place to be.
