Surabhi is a heritage restaurant in a over 300-year-old palace in Jaipur. The heart of the restaurant is the Durbar Hall, which is the main seating area. Having a meal there is just like having it in the Diwan-e-am of Amber Fort or City Palace. With original marble pillars, the Hall is the third largest in Jaipur after Amber and City Palace. The total seating capacity is 250 covers. We have an air-conditioned hall also with 50 covers.

HISTORY
It was the palace of Rao Kripa Ram, Prime Minister of Sawai Jai Singh, (founder of Jaipur) one of whose descendents had the ancient leather map, which led to the internationally famous Jaigarh Fort treasure hunt in the 1970's. One of the unique features of the hall is the carving on the 280-year-old pillars whose designs are unfinished. Probably something happened which is shrouded in the mist of history. The Haveli is one of the oldest in Jaipur.
