The food of pilgrim Ajmer is mostly Mughlai: rich biryanis cooked in big copper pots, kebabs, korma, sweet rich sheermal. Near the Dargah, a number of small Muslim-run restaurants serve the classic Dargah biryani — Madina Hotel and Mango Masala are reliable picks. For pure vegetarian Rajasthani thalis, Honeydew on Station Road has been a local fixture for decades.
Most places near the Dargah are dry; alcohol is harder to find in Ajmer than in most Rajasthan cities.
