Jaipur House
It is the former residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur in the city of New Delhi, India. It is situated at the end of Rajpath, facing the India Gate. Jaipur House was commissioned in 1936 by Maharaja Man Singh II as his residence in Lutyens’ Delhi and completed in 1938 to a design by Arthur Blomfield and Francis Blomfield. Its butterfly‑plan layout features twin wings radiating from a domed central pavilion clad in red and buff Dholpursandstone, punctuated by Rajput columns, Mughal motifs and a saucer‑shaped dome. In 1954, the building was repurposed as the National Gallery of Modern Art, India’s premier public institution for modern and contemporary art.

We visited the national gallery of modern art on a weekday. The gallery opens from Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Ticket to enter is Rs 20 for Indian nationals adults and kids go in for free. It comes under the ministry of culture. Nice quaint place inside of the Jaipur house.
A wonderful museum in the heart of Delhi. visit Jaipur house. You can find sculptures made as old as in the 2nd century. Photography is not allowed inside but outside you surely can. They keep hosting exhibitions round the year.
Visit the lush gardens of Jaipur House. Step into a culinary journey with the beautiful delightful cafés inside.
Beautiful cafés inside of the Jaipur House
Cafe Greenlane
Takes you into the spirited frenzy of street food, igniting those flavours.
You need to enter from Gate No 4 and walk down to this cafe. The cafe closes at 8 pm. It’s purely vegetarian.
There are two other restaurants in this premises - Saddle house serving continental and Amoda serving Indian cuisine.
The cafe is quite spacious with a good ambience. Quiet and nicely decorated. Comfortable seating. Staff is friendly and polite. Service was slow.
We ordered for combo of chilli paneer with noodles. Taste was nice. Chilli paneer quantity is lesser. Tried spring rolls. These were crispy & nice in taste. They serve just 5 pieces in Rs 325. It’s expensive. Ordered for paneer bread pakoda. This was for Rs 90 somewhat dry and a little hard. Ginger tea served in kulhad was nice.
This also goes to @TusharSuradkar for his ‘chai pe charcha.’ 10
Cafe Amoda unfolds a delectable tapestry of Jaipur, Agra, and Delhi, showcasing the diverse traditions and the opulent history of Indian cuisine.
Beautiful ambience with nice aesthetics, design, art work and mirror work. Service was good. Food was ok. Goat cheese Dahi Bhalla was nice.
The Saddle House
Plan a catch-up with mouth-watering food, captivating art, and fascinating historic artefacts. It orchestrates a symphony of Pan-Asian and Continental delights. It’s a unique fusion of taste and culture, where every bite narrates a tale.
Plan a visit soon! It’s a good place to check out modern contemporary art and also enjoy in these quaint calm cafes.
