Jaipur’s vibrant culture and timeless food traditions have always been a feast for the senses – but now, there’s a thrilling new player shaking things up. Meet Primitive, the exciting new venture from husband-wife duo Karan Singh and Simran Kaur, the creative minds behind Native Cocktail Room. Together, they’re reinventing Jaipur’s culinary scene with bold flavours and fresh ideas you won’t want to miss! This place brings ancient Indian cooking methods into a setting that feels chic, creative and full of character. Tucked away inside the artistic Hotel Pearl Palace, Primitive feels like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.
The moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the design. The interiors blend traditional elements with a modern edge-ornate wallpapers, sleek glass accents and bold pops of red. It felt like walking into an art installation. The only thing I wished for was slightly better lighting, just to fully admire the details on the plate.
What really sets Primitive apart is its commitment to open-flame cooking. The grill isn’t just where food is made – it’s part of the experience. Watching the chefs in action added a sense of excitement that made every dish feel special.
I began my meal with the Primitive Picante, a cocktail that stood out thanks to its refreshing twist of pineapple juice. It paired beautifully with the Chicken Khurchan Tartelettes, served on a kuttu crust. The chicken was juicy, the flavours well-balanced, and the tart base added a lovely earthy texture. Next, I tried the Butte Ke Kees – a creative mix of corn broth, smoked ghee powder and jeeravan that felt comforting yet entirely new.
