Chhotu Motu Joshi Sweets
छोटू मोटू जोशी
A century-old family sweet shop outside Bikaner station; crisp kachori, syrup-soaked jalebi and a dozen types of lassi make it the city's go-to breakfast.
Founded by brothers Chhotu Lal and Motu Lal and now run by their grandchildren, this century-old family sweet shop sits just outside Bikaner railway station at the Kote Gate junction. Its signatures are freshly made puris with potato curry, dal kachori, crisp jalebi and fenugreek curry. The lassi comes in more than a dozen varieties, including sweet, rose and salty, and the desserts include rabri and gulab jamun. The shop is lively and crowded at breakfast, and no reservations are needed. About INR 100–200 per person; a short walk from the station or the Old City.
