A New Chapter in Udaipur’s Skyline Dining

Perched gracefully above the serene lakes and the majestic Aravalli Hills, Ayana at Udaipur Marriott Hotel is redefining what it means to dine under the stars. More than just a restaurant, Ayana is a journey through India’s royal culinary legacy, where each dish whispers tales of tradition, artistry, and flavour.

From the moment guests step into its tranquil poolside entrance, Ayana begins to work its quiet magic. The name itself — Ayana, meaning “the path” — beautifully captures the spirit of discovery that runs through every element of this new rooftop dining experience.

Design That Speaks to the Soul

The atmosphere at Ayana is a masterclass in balance — where contemporary Indian design meets natural charm. Think glowing lanterns, earthy textures, oversized cushions, and music that flows effortlessly between world beats and mellow Indian tunes. Every corner is an invitation to unwind.

But the true showstopper? The panoramic rooftop view. As twilight paints Udaipur’s lakes in gold and sapphire, the scene becomes an experience that lingers — perfect for romantic dinners, family celebrations, or elegant evening gatherings.

A Culinary Homage to Royal India

At Ayana, every bite tells a story. The menu is a celebration of India’s time-honoured recipes — from the slow-cooked Haleem and melt-in-the-mouth Shikampuri Kebabs to Laal Maas, Gatte ki Subzi, and the rustic Ker Sangri. Each dish is prepared with authentic techniques and presented with modern finesse.

The culinary philosophy, led by Executive Chef Mohit Mishra, is about staying true to roots while refining the craft. “Each flavour evokes tradition, and every detail reflects the depth of India’s heritage,” he says.

The bar mirrors this ethos with artisanal cocktails infused with Indian botanicals and spices, alongside a curated wine list and craft beers — ensuring that the evening unfolds as a complete sensory journey.

Sustainability with Style

Ayana is not only a visual and gastronomic delight — it’s also mindful of its footprint. The restaurant champions sustainability through locally sourced produce, a plant-forward menu, minimal food waste, and a ban on single-use plastics. Even its kitchen is energy-efficient, making every dining experience luxurious yet responsible.

An Invitation to Experience Udaipur Differently

As General Manager Vaibhav Sagar puts it, “Ayana is designed to be an immersive experience, not just a dining venue. Every element, from the sweeping views to the curated menu, creates memories that stay with you.”

For travelers exploring Udaipur or locals seeking an elevated night out, Ayana is set to become the city’s newest icon — a place where the view is breathtaking, but the memories are even more enduring.
