Lassiwala (Original & Oldest in Jaipur) – Serving Lassi Since Pre-Independence (1944)

April 25, 2022 • Tusharr • Jaipur, Rajasthan

Lassiwala (Original) is just outside of M. I. (Mirza Ismail) Road Sub Post Office.

Ashok Agarwal’s (current owner) grandfather, Kishan Lal Agarwal, started this Lassi shop 78 years ago.

It is the most famous Lassi shop in Jaipur. 312 is the shop number.

Whenever I open my eyes after a night’s sound sleep, I open my shop with a fresh mind – said Ashok Agarwal.

Approx. 6/6:15 morning is the opening time, and 4 pm is the closing time. 7 days open.

We add no water while making lassi. It is curd and sugar – that’s it. Curd is prepared from Buffalo milk.

Rs. 35 for Regular Kulhad (clay) Glass and Rs. 70 for Large Kulhad Glass.

Mukesh Ambani, once the richest Asian industrialist, had Lassi here while sitting inside his car.

I too visited this Lassi shop after reading more than 3,500 Google reviews. It was crowded at 7 am. Worth the hype.

The lassi is churned in the Matka pot in front of us.

We also requested two Large Kulhad Glass Sweet Lassi.

Note: They also serve Salty Lassi.

The upper layer of Sweet Lassi has thick fresh cream (malai) on it – The icing on the cake.

Gulped the creamiest Lassi. Loved the taste. Lip-smacking & Authentic. And also added an earthy flavor to the lassi due to Kulhad.

Eco-friendly. Traditional, Refreshing Lassi. The best Lassi I had in Jaipur. The perfect thickness. The taste is unforgettable.

If you haven’t had lassi at Lassiwala (Original) in Jaipur, then your tour is incomplete.

The best is that it is not at all heavy on the tummy.

Touched my soul, that’s why another morning I re-visited the second time for Sweet Lassi.

A must-try if you visit the pink city of Rajasthan. An iconic place & Legendary as well.

Read over the internet that many high-profile celebrities and Bollywood actors have also visited the Lassiwala (Original), such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shilpa Shetty, Dimple Kapadia, Shobhaa De.

If you don’t want to stand in a queue, you can also order via Zomato. They covered Kulhad using butter paper and thread.

Though Lassi is the most popular in the state of Punjab, I like the Lassi of Jaipur also. One of the best.

Ajmeri Gate (Jaipur) – Built in 1727

April 25, 2022 • Tusharr • Jaipur, Rajasthan

This is one of the four gates located in the south of Jaipur, which used to be the main entrance from Ajmer. This gate opens the way to Kishanpol, which used to be the main market for dyeing, printing, and bandhej of clothes. Ajmeri Gate was earlier named Kishanpol Gate which was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1727 and this gate is part of Jaipur Parkote (Old City). Maharaj Jai Singh had built the Parkote for the purpose of security of Jaipur, which in that period saved Jaipur from enemies, bandits, and wild animals. All the gates of Jaipur have been closed for security so that the safety of the citizens of Jaipur can be done.
