I’ve done a great walk through the most well-known spots of Blue City and after I restored myself in the Sambhali Cafè eating wonderful and typical local food. People are professional, always smiling and very friendly, I recommend 100% this experience and I hope you’ll enjoy everything as I did.

Jodhpur’s first queer cafe is a beautiful hidden treasure, tucked away from the louder cafes around the city. Please support this lovely space and the people who run it.

A lovely cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating on several levels. The upper levels have an amazing view of the fort and the surrounding rooftops, and it's a comfortable and peaceful place to relax and have some tasty drinks and snacks. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and told us about the work of the Sambhali Trust which supports women, children and the LGBTQ+ community. The cafe hasn't been open for long, and is a much needed safe space for LGBTQ+ people in Jodhpur. It's worth supporting it just for that, but the food is as good as you'll find anywhere and the views are spectacular. The shop (which has another branch outside the city centre) sells clothes, gifts, toys and other textiles made by people supported by the Sambhali Trust. They're very reasonably priced and all profits go to the person who made the item.

Well hidden, but lovely, café! I obviously hadn't been looking hard enough, but was handed a flyer (pictured) with a helpful QR link to Google Maps. It's not difficult to find but you wouldn't stumble upon it by accident! The staff are very welcoming and there's lots of comfortable seating. My only concern is that the prices are high (even for Jodhpur!) but it's nice to know there's a worthy cause behind it, so I feel much better handing over my money. I hope the café prospers!

A beautiful hidden treasure in the heart of Jodhpur. I had lovely stop at Sambhali Cafe, to enjoy some local treats.The staff were lovely, the cafe is brilliant and the aircon is . What really made me enjoy my stop at the cafe is knowing that I'm supporting a brilliant local charity. Do pop in and say hello if your in the area!
