Shri Mishrilal has operated from Sardar Market's Girdikot gate since 1927, when its founder first sold rabdi and ghee kachori under a British trading license. His son later invented the shop's signature makhaniya lassi around 1960, a cardamom-and-kewda thickened lassi still made fresh daily by the fourth generation.
Bhandari Store deals in Rajputi poshak, odhna and handloom fabric, the layered courtly clothing still worn for Rajasthani weddings, sold by the meter or as finished garments. It ships wholesale and retail out of Jodhpur, filling a niche that purely tourist-facing boutiques rarely stock.
Best for Rajputi poshak and traditional Rajasthani textiles
Working from a workshop in the Tanawara industrial quarter since 1996, Jodhpur Antique hand-builds sheesham and reclaimed-wood furniture in the carved, iron-bound styles associated with the city's antique trade. Bar cabinets, storage trunks and dining sets are made to order rather than pulled from a warehouse line.

Founded in 2018 by Piyush Soni, Khushbu Jewellers works exclusively in silver, casting anklets, mangalsutras and Krishna-flute pendants that mix temple motifs with plainer contemporary shapes. It now ships internationally from its Jodhpur workshop, a newer counterpoint to the city's older gold houses.
Best for Silver jewellery with traditional and spiritual motifs
Krafto stitches mojaris and juttis by hand from sheep, camel and goat leather, following the pointed-toe silhouettes long associated with Rajasthan's cobbler communities. Its range runs from plain wedding-sherwani styles to embroidered Punjabi juttis, made rather than mass-imported.
Manohar Jewellers has traded in gold, diamond and kundan-polki pieces from Jodhpur since 1954, building a client base across generations rather than seasonal tourist turnover. Bridal sets and hallmark-certified gold remain its core trade, alongside custom commissions.

Founded by Mohanlal Verhomal and his wife Bhagwanti as a market cart in the late 1970s, this Sardar Market spice shop is now run by Bhagwanti and their seven daughters, the only women-run spice business in Jodhpur, blending its own masala tea and curry mixes.

MV Spices began as a small cart run by Mohanlal Verhomal and his wife Bhagwanti, who set out to sell spice blends to the foreign tourists passing through Jodhpur's old city. From that start — dated variously to the late 1970s and 1982 — the business grew into a fixture of Sardar Market's Girdikot bazaar, blending its own masala mixes for tea, curries and fruit rather than stocking pre-packed generic spice tins. After Mohanlal died in 2004, his wife and their seven daughters took over the shop, making it, by the family's own account, the only spice business in Jodhpur run entirely by women. That continuity, along with the shop's habit of writing out recipes in English, French and German so travelers can recreate the blends at home, built a reputation almost entirely through word of mouth rather than advertising — travelers carried the name back with them, and mentions in Lonely Planet India, Lonely Planet Nepal and Le Guide Routard followed the shop's existing trade rather than creating it. The shop still sells its named masala chai spice mix alongside curry blends, saffron tea spice, and other ready-made mixtures, and now ships internationally to customers who first found it in person.
This Jodhpur Park shop curates crafts, food, books, and textiles sourced from artisans across all 23 districts of West Bengal, covering terracotta and clay work, jute, kantha embroidery, brassware, and Bengali-language books. It positions itself as a single stop for regional Bengal craft rather than a manufacturer of any one item.
