Where to Celebrate Friendship Day in Udaipur: Best Rooftops, Lake Spots & Parties

Quick answer

For a dinner with a view, head to Ambrai or Upre by 1559 AD. For a quiet, low-key evening, walk along Ambrai Ghat or Fateh Sagar Lake. And if your friend group wants to dance the night away, The Forresta Kitchen & Bar and AmBar are solid picks. Here's the full breakdown.

Udaipur can flex from a quiet lakeside walk to a full night out, depending on what your friend group is in the mood for. Here's where to go for each.

Best rooftop restaurants for a Friendship Day dinner

Ambrai — at Ambrai Ghat, the single most iconic sunset view in the city, looking straight across at the City Palace, Jag Mandir and Lake Palace.
Upre by 1559 AD — a Lake Pichola-facing restaurant with jharokha-style seating and old-world charm, great for a slightly more intimate dinner.
Raas Leela — a rooftop known for its ambience and lake-facing tables, a solid pick for a relaxed group dinner.
Sheesh Mahal — a rooftop restaurant with panoramic views over the old city, popular for both food and photos.
Shamiana — on the Sarovar hotel rooftop, known for serene sunset views of the City Palace and a romantic, candlelit feel after dark.
Shahi Bagh Restaurant — a rooftop option with a more traditional, palace-inspired setting.
Savage Garden — near Chandpole, for a more casual, budget-friendly rooftop hangout with partial lake views.

Best lake spots for a quieter celebration

Ambrai Ghat — the classic spot for an evening walk with the City Palace lit up across the water.
Saheliyon ki Bari — a garden that's particularly beautiful after dark, ideal for a calmer, more sentimental Friendship Day catch-up.
Fateh Sagar Lake — the promenade along the lake is a favourite for evening walks, street food and simply sitting and talking with friends.
