Review Savage Garden - Udaipur

I went there with my girlfriend pleased to Lonely Planet. We had a wonderful dinner with a shared Chicken Wajid Ali, so yummy. The rooftop is very nice and has a beautiful view on the lake. Gokal welcomed so well, very nice guy, he speaks very well English and French. Highly recommended place.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at their roof top restaurant. The view at sunset was incredible. The employees - Gokul, Rajbar and Pankaj were extremely friendly. Gokul speaks French and a few other languages. So hosting is natural for him. We are visiting India from USA for three months. We will remember this experience for a long time.

As an Italian I almost never had the pleasure of tasting an authentic Italian food.. but this place make fresh pasta. And is simply delicious, also the Pesto was delicious. They didn't had the parmiggiano cheese but they had an amazing local cheese very tasty and salty.. with the pesto was a perfect combination. The brownie was amazing too.. everything is homemade and the owner is amazing.. thanks for this wonderful meal..

Best pasta in all India! Real homemade, both the pasta and the sauces. And I'm Italian, so I have pretty high standards! I've been a few times and was never a let down. Plus the owner, Gokal, is super nice and so is all the stuff actually. I'll be back for sure

We spent our New Year’s Eve at Savage Garden. And boy it was fun! The ambience, food and hospitality is wonderful! Thank you Gokul for having us and making our new year celebrations a memorable one!

Possibly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The food is great, and additionally, the server Gokul was absolutely sensational and made us feel incredibly looked after. Additionally the chocolate cake was stunning and possibly one of the best chocolate desserts I’ve ever had. I would absolutely highly recommend this place to a friend!

Good day. Am a Swiss with Italian roots. At first I just wanted to eat an apple cake and drink tea in the restaurant, the same as on the project a day before. This time the manager showed me his kitchen and the fresh pasta. My half Italian heart beat twice as fast at the sight. So I ordered the Tagliatelle Napoli and it was delightful. Highly recommended. :)

Sometimes you just need a spice free meal and this pasta dish and Indian wine served the purpose wonderfully. Lovely breeze and friendly staff.

We dined here a couple of nights ago as my partner needed something which wasn't indian food. The pasta is very tasty and all homemade. You get views onto the river and at night all the tables are candlelit. The service was great, and they were very attentive.

I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner, I've been there for dinner and it was one of the best handmade pastas I've ever eaten here in India. Exquisite service and great customer service. The views are spectacular. If you want to have good pasta in Udaipur, come here, you won't regret it.

One of the best place to eat Italian food in Udaipur and enjoy it,ambience and surrounding are so old City heritage feeling

Why does this say that this place is closed .. i went here on the 21st of Dec and it was hands down the cutest place i have been to at udaipur. It's not for you if you intend to eat traditional food of the state .. but this place makes homemade pasta and some really good food .. it's inexpensive and has a warm , multilingual staff

Taste - 5, Quantity - 4, Quality - 5, Hygiene - 5, Service - 4, Ambiance - 5<br/><br/>Verdict - Must Eat This<br/><br/>Pasta is wife's favorite and pesto is mine. So Pesto Gnocchi was an obvious choice. Gnocchi is pasta made up of flour & potato. This place is being run by Guenther Maria Norrenberg - a German guy in love with Udaipur. The food is amazing and the ambiance is unmatchable. Sit back, relax and let Udaipur embrace you.<br/><br/>P.S. - Their Baked Aubergine is also worth the try!<br/><br/>#musteatthis #udaipur #rajasthan #royaltreats #italian #gnocchi #pasta #pesto #royale #foodblogger #foodgasm #foodporn #craving

Great cafe with plenty of pasta options. The aglio de olio which I tried was absolutely delicious.

I love the ambience and the view the whole traffic hedache ends when we just relax in this place the only thing is that i ordered bruschetta and spaghetti but the spaghetti need to add more taste as it was like having in a local shop rest all is good and i love to visit again

Happened to visit this cafe accidentally. We had planned our visit to Cafe Edelweiss and got to know that Savage Garden is a terrace cafe and a joint venture of the owner.<br/><br/>The food was ordered from Edelweiss but we had it on the terrace with a magnificent view of Lake Pichola.<br/><br/>This one is very beautiful and the decor is amazing, even though they have limited space. Blue coloured cushions add extra beauty!

This was the second time we had visited this restaurant in Us. It used to be at Chandpole earlier, way back in 2015 but they have now shifted to a different location and we stumbled upon the sign board out of nowhere. Zomato needs to rectify this.<br/>The food is just excellent! I met their head chef this time and there is no way you can say by looking at him that this is the guy behind such tasty Italian dishes.<br/>We had gnocchi, aubergine, banana cake and panacotta and there was nothing that we could point out which wasn't up to the mark. If you are looking for Italian food in Udaipur, this is the place to be!

Literally tucked away in the bylanes (with helpful signboards), I was recommended this place by a friend and I wasn't disappointed. The stark, modern yet warm interiors are of course the first thing that catches your attention. It can take a while to decide where to sit! I finally chose the sweet terrace. And I loved the pasta! And tried their pana cotta which was surprisingly good too. I would suggest this place for anyone who's looking for a proper dining experience after all the cafe hopping!

The biggest problem that I faced while visiting savage garden was accessibility. The place is located among the winding little alleyways near Lake Pichola and quite difficult to get to at night thanks to Google Maps also marking the wrong location.<br/><br/>However, once there, the beautiful interiors surprised us with their aesthetics. There are three floors with various rooms that you can choose to sit in. They also provide candles for a different kind of ambience.<br/><br/>Their menu is not very large and comprises mainly of varieties of pasta. We tried their spinach and mushroom ravioli which was a little bland before we added extra cheese and toppings (which came along with the food). We also ordered fried banana for dessert which wasn't properly caramelized at all.<br/><br/>The service was good even if the food wasn't.

Firstly the location of the place is very bad moreover, when I went they were cleaning the sewage system which made it pathetic.The place is very dingy and one has to climb flights of stairs before reaching the rooftop and even after reaching it does really provide a nice view.<br/>Secondly, the food it's not at all worth the price they charge, we ordered spinach ravioli and white sauce pasta both were very bland and lacked taste. Would not recommend this place at all.

Had the dahl masala...If you like Campbell's tomato soup with half a can of brown lentils tossed in, you'll be happy. If you are looking for flavour and something that would, at minimum, be available at an Indian restaurant in an English speaking country, leave now and find another place. <br/><br/>I only gave 1.5 stars because I don't know how the western food tastes.

It's a very tiny place in the tiny lanes of Udaipur and is rather difficult to catch eye of the any passerby. <br/>It's a old house in a residential complex converted into a eatery. The rooms are tiny and are extremely dingy. It was difficult to sit in the open during noon as there was ventilation and even more difficult to sit in the rooms as they were very gloomy. <br/>The food was very bad and was actually half-cooked. The place publises itself for having an open kitchen but the kitchen is a small room in the basement which results into the place smelling of gas the entire time. <br/>There was no serving staff but a lone waiter trying to cater to the guests (which in our case were just us).<br/>Just avoid going to the place and keep it on the list if all the other places in the city are shut.Nitesh Kalra Payal Ahuja

The place has changed since the change in address. It has lost its trademark blue colour and is now separated into high top floors with several stairs to climb. I wondered that the service must be quite tedious to cope up with having to climb so many stairs all day long. <br/><br/>Ordered ravioli which was just lacking a bit of seasoning. But as soon as you add that, the flavours burst open tantalising your taste buds. Good pasta and proper flavours just hit at the right spot. <br/><br/>Second order was chicken breast with cream sauce and rosemary potatoes. Honestly was expecting whole baby potatoes covered in rosemary and fat baked to perfection. But what I received was cut potatoes fried to perfection with just the right amount of rosemary. Suitable for an Indian tongue with a flair for flavours. The chicken breast itself was good, combined with the cream sauce it was just fabulous. A little bit on the drier side, but the flavours compensated for the wrongdoings. <br/><br/>Overall a good experience, not suitable for people with an Indian tongue. If you have a desire to try on international flavours and appreciate them then only visit the place. It will do you justice.

This awsomish place is must visit while visiting Udaipur. Yummylicous food and Amazing Interiors will instantly win your heart and mind !! ...<br/>..............................

Only thing good about this place is its ambience.<br/>New outlet is damn difficult to approach. There are only 2 guys serving around 20 tables or so. Food is below average, be it the quality or the taste.<br/>Pro tip: Don't even think of trying Panna Cotta here. You'll end up with a bubble gum covered in artificial mango pulp.

It's a beautiful place. The moment you enter this place, you will just fall in love with it. My expectation was really high for the food but it was very disappointing. First ordered the pineapple juice which was good. Then ordered the ravioli, gnocchi and red sauce pasta. I only liked the ravioli and rest all was very bad in taste especially the gnocchi.<br/>

This place is known to have founded by a German (or an Italian :P) traveller and claims to offer authentic Italian and German dishes. The USP of the place being the in-house spaghetti that they make.<br/><br/>However, we found it difficult to reach the place.  There was a complete dearth of direction or sign boards. That was a bit of a thumbs down. <br/><br/>On reaching the place, we found the ambience quite peaceful. We imagined it to be a rooftop sort of a thing, it turned out to be a little low on that front. <br/><br/>We had ordered the al Pesto pasta, Bruschetta and stuffed Aubergine. The food tasted bland to all our "Indian" tongues. But we believed that's how authentic Italian food would taste like. <br/><br/>Overall, a good place to visit once if you are a fan of Authentic Italian food.

It's a pretty old joint..opened back in 2000 by a foreigner. Has just shifted it's location on 20th November. You need to be patient to find it. The ambience is very warm and cosy. We ordered Pasta Alfredo and Garlic Bread which were good.

Want the best Italian food in udaipur then u have to eat here<br/><br/>Savage garden has moved locations. Its in a corner so u will have to ask someone when ure near chandpole.<br/><br/>Finally after 6 months this restaurant has reopened in a new location with the same great food and even better ambiance.<br/><br/>The location is a little hard to find but the food is still amazing.<br/><br/>Only place in udaipur where you will find hand made pasta's. Everything is freshly prepared. We had the spinach and mushroom ravioli and pomodoro gnocchi. It was great as always.<br/><br/>Location 1/5<br/>Ambiance 4/5<br/>Food 5/5<br/>Overall 4/5<br/>

We had a nice meal here- though it seemed to have changed locations and luckily a man we met on the street guided us to the new location.  The ravioli were freshly made and delicious, the bolognese was good and the chicken delicious!  they were out of parmesan cheese when we visited, which would have made the meal extra perfect!  The ambiance is delightful with little rooms and mirror mosaics and interesting paintings on the walls.

This place seems to have closed down... When we followed the signs and showed up there, it was shut with no further information available... The neighbours told us the current owners have left and since there is no answer at any of the listed numbers, maybe there is some truth to this unofficial information.

Prettiness pays. & so do you. A little expensive for the quality of food. But its one of the prettiest places around. So it kind of makes up for every thing else. A great place for some photography. Come here to feast your eyes. But the deserts are worth a try: pabba cotta & creme caramel. The later being the best

Heard a lot abt this place. Since my 12 th straight visit to Udaipur, i thought to be here. I walked from Haveli to here and place is not that tough to find l, specially its easy because of foreign tourists. <br/><br/>Lets come talk about interior. Its entirely mediterranean Blue and at first it shouts to eyes. Thats ok. <br/><br/>Food is certainly not chest here. But the money worth taste. Try once for sure.

An isolated location for food lovers. The ambience and legacy of the restaurant is well known and quite famous in Udaipur. But, being an Indian food lover, I barely enjoyed the food, however the dinning experience was good. The owner himself greeted us. The service is pretty good. One should visit the place, not for the food, but for its history and culture.<br/>Food- 2.5*<br/>Ambience - 4*<br/>Service- 3.5 *<br/>Value for money - 2.5*<br/>Overall- 3*<br/>

Savage garden is located away from the main road. It's a quiet place with stunning decor. The blue walls and those Bougainville compliment each other so well. To add to it the furniture is rustic which makes you fall in love with the ambiance. The owners are really sweet. Talking about food the portions are really good and they give Parmesan cheese along with your meal which is not a usual at Italian restaurants, so extra points for that. I was disappointed with the taste since it doesn't suit the Indian pallet. Service too is really slow. So if you are ready to compromise on taste for great ambiance then you must visit.

The place is in a small bylane away from the main action and in the residential area...the lane stinks of dirt and fresh cow patties....the approach of the place inside is awkward too with old rocky walls and simplistic wrought iron tables and chairs...there is no view ofcourse as its in a house.....the food is decent....international cuisine....but the service is horrible....the food took forever to come and the people responsible were not too concerned....so go only if you have a lot of time and just want something different to eat...

located in tiny little street.....Gives u fresh look with high blue colored wall with metal rustic furniture and there are some nice touches at corners...<br/>Well food was good but some of the recipes were ok. Aubergine recipe was good.<br/>Good place to hangout.. I would recommend this for different experience.

All good things come in small packages.Suits very well to Savage Garden, not that it is small and all .. no no .. it is a huge property .. but the fact that it is not in a metropolitan but Udaipur And surrounded by all the local houses in a 'gali' And the owners being Deutsche And serving classic Mediterranean & continental food is totally beyond amazement.<br/><br/>Savage Garden certainly beats any of the fancy restaurants .. any given point of time.<br/><br/>Be it the classics like Mullingatawny Soup or the classical pasta dishes with the variety of pastas right from penne to tagliatelle, gnocchi to ravioli and then the quintessential's of the vegetarian Mediterranean cuisine - stuffed / roasted aubergines, stuffed bell peppers .. salmon fillet to Bombay prawns they are perfect in their own way.<br/><br/>The staff has been here for over a decade and they have perfected the art of making customers happy by serving some real quality meal.The only problem that a lot of us feel is that the food is a bit bland most of the times as there are never a lot of layers of flavours .. but can't fault the food to be honest guys .. it is how foreigners like their food and they absolutely love it here.<br/><br/>There could be a few issues with the beverages but most of their food should ideally be paired with some beer or a glass of wine which would complement the meal very well. Sadly they do not serve alcohol .. or do they :P<br/>-----------------------------<br/>So, the other day we had Tagliatelle all' Arrabiata - they could have given a little bread alongside to scoop the leftover sauce, the quantity was really nice. Overall the dish was alright, may be a bit of overload on the tomato sauce and required some freshly crushed black pepper.<br/><br/>Aubergine zi Ame - Halved and stuffed baigans (let us call them baigan hehehe .. aka brinjal, egg plant, aubergine) with celery, charred garlic, dash of thyme and parsley, pan fried in olive oil. The aubergines were to die for, although we made a mistake to order two dishes with almost the same basic sauce i.e. tomatoes and the person taking our order did not warn either :(<br/><br/>Savage Garden, to be honest, is one of the high points in Udaipur and should be certainly given a visit .. and by any chance if you do not like the food .. chin up and go again :P

Food is average. Go for the Italian stuff on the menu, and with the meat. Avoid spinach ravioli and hummus etc. the pastas were awesome, so we're the chicken and fried rice. Now to the best part, the ambience is lovely and go in for a change from the regular Indian food you will eat at udaipur. Tucked away in a small little lane, it simple and lovely for a lunch. Alcohol not served, but who knows? You might get lucky ;)

Came across Savage Garden on our way to Upré and we decided to visit it due to the unique name (and due to the connection made with the now defunct music duo).<br/><br/>Simply put, Savage Garden ravaged our senses. It was an experience best forgotten and one which we will relegate to the darkest, most obscure recesses of our mind. We had:<br/><br/>1. Minestrone Soup - One sip each was the extent of our association with this soup.<br/>2. Spaghetti in Mixed sauce - the puree was raw and tasted bland. The heady aroma of spaghetti rich in flavour was sorely missing. It tasted a lot like badly prepared instant noodles.<br/>3. Fresh Lime Soda - it was the highlight of our meal!!!!! The concept of serving the lime juice, sugar syrup and soda separately was great and we could make the fresh lime soda as per our taste/preference.<br/>4. Filter coffee - what was served to us was NOT filter coffee. It was a shot of black coffee and I confirmed with the server of it being filter coffee. A quick search on Google and past experience indicated that filter coffee has frothed milk added to the coffee and we had to ask for milk. Despite our best efforts, most of it was wasted.<br/><br/>Although the owner came and asked us how were things, and we let him know that all was not hunky dory, he said that next time they will definitely try to make amends. There wont be a next time. Avoid at all costs.

Visited this place recently on our Udaipur trip, nestled in small lanes of udaipur near chand pol is this restaurant. As you enter this place, it is all done up in blue, has a open verandah in between with a huge tree, spread across two levels. As the server at this place told us that restaurant is owned by a foreigner couple who are settled in Udaipur. <br/><br/>As there were no one other than us, we spent a good time here (close to 2 hours) clicking pics. We ordered Garlic Bread, Pasta Arabiatta and Cold Coffee which was good but the garlic bread came without cheese, then we ordered garlic bread with cheese and the server returned with raw grated cheese on the garlic bread. We tasted it and it was terrible we asked the waiter that why is this raw and not baked in oven and informed that the oven was not working, this was wiered as he could have told us earlier that oven was not working, we could have ordered an alternate dish. Anyways, overall I would say people visiting Udaipur and looking for Italian cuisine can visit this place and enjoy the place.
