Jodhpur isn’t just famous for its majestic forts and blue lanes — it’s also a paradise for food lovers. And when it comes to spicy street food with legacy, one name stands tall: Shahi Samosa, located at Nayi Sadak near Ghanta Ghar. Among their legendary offerings, the Mirchi Vada is a showstopper — a local favourite that’s now on every tourist’s must-try list.
🌶️ What Makes Shahi Samosa’s Mirchi Vada Special?
Shahi Samosa doesn’t serve your average mirchi vada. Here’s what sets theirs apart:
Perfectly sized Bhavnagri chilies that aren’t too spicy but pack just enough heat
Flavorful aloo masala stuffing, spiced to perfection
A thick, crispy gram flour coating, deep-fried till golden brown
Served hot with tangy chutneys, straight from the kadai to your plate
The texture is crunchy on the outside, with a creamy, spicy filling inside — a balance that’s hard to find elsewhere.
🏙️ The Experience: Eating at Shahi Samosa
Located near the bustling Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar) and Sardar Market, Shahi Samosa is always crowded — a true indicator of its cult status. You’ll find people from all walks of life queuing up: locals grabbing breakfast, tourists seeking a taste of Jodhpur, and even food vloggers capturing that first crispy bite.
Pro tip: Pair the Mirchi Vada with their signature samosa or kachaudi for a complete royal street food platter.
