Budget
Cafe Mehran
Meherangarh fort. simple but pleasant cafe in the fort itself, with a range of tourist favorites from pizza to burgers as well as indian thalis. rs 60-140.
Shahi Samosas
Nai sarak left side just before main gate to sardar market. easily spotted thanks to the never ending queue, their samosas and kachoris are made in front of your eyes with generous amounts of stuffing. rs 6-8.
Omelette Shop
' aka garib hotel', just outside the gates to the main square. a bit of a cult favorite, although controversy and confusion have been stoked by a lonely planet recommendation, which has inspired signs all over the area claiming the mantle of the "real" omelette shop. 5 m away is the up and coming vicky, whose omelettes are identical except for the noticeable increase in the amount of ginger. there is no place to sit, so don't come here expecting to relax with your omelette.
New Saheen Hotel (restaurant)
 +91 6 6531533. very nice restaurant busy with locals, not touristy at all. for about rs 60-80 you can try out several different dishes. selection includes fish, kababs, dal, paneer and of course fresh roti with ghee.. kitchen in same space as sitting area, a treat on all senses. on the second floor of a building, above a sign "qadri guesthouse", just outside of old town, in an area full with pharmacies and clinics.
