Just below the fort, this atmospheric restaurant has a lovely outdoor section; you can sit in the garden courtyard or get closer to the ground on thin mattresses at one of the low tables, where lazy reclining is definitely encouraged. The nostalgic strains of old Hindi film music sets the mood, and at night the garden is lit up with candles, creating a romantic atmosphere; from November through January, traditional dance performances are held from 9 to 11pm. The specialty here is tasty vegetarian dishes (including veggie burgers and thin-crust pizzas smothered with cheese from the Punjab), and you really should consider Desert Boy's specialty, kair sanagari, a delicious yogurt-based concoction made with capers and a local desert-dwelling string bean that's purported to have antibiotic properties. If that doesn't appeal, another Jaisalmer speciality is govind gatta, chickpea-flavored balls stuffed with dried fruit and served with yogurt spiced with turmeric, coriander, and chili. Finish off with a kaju dakh milkshake, made with cashews and raisins.
