Lovely food & drinks! - Edit
The staff are sooo friendly. Probably the most positive people in India! ♥️ They made us vegan bread for the next day but unexpectedly charged us for it when he paid out bill (the next day after eating the bread) but the masala sandwiches were amazing! They were meant to be 150 but charged 200, and we ordered an extra one as it was quite small. It was SO good, to be honest I would have it again. And thankful they make vegan alternatives :)
Read moreThe masala chai is so good with soy and the pancakes are lovely and homemade. The porridge is made with water but you might be able to ask with soy milk if you'd rather.
The views are lovely and they have so many drinks!

It's a must - Edit
Le personnel est très à l'écoute quant à la demande de manger vegan, ils savent ce que c'est ! J'étais malade en arrivant à Jaisalmer et il m'a proposé un plat adapté, pas piquant ☺️

Thorough understanding of veganism - Edit
I've found it more tricky than expected to find vegan food in India, it was so refreshing to stop into Kuku where the owner has a clear understanding of veganism and the menu is labelled. The eggless omelette was nice for something different, the coffees refreshing in the blazing Jaisalmer heat. I found out too late that the owner makes all the coffee additives himself rather than using syrup (saffron, rose, pistachio, etc) - would have loved to try them.

The best coffee shop in Jaisalmer (and probably in India) - Edit
Run, don’t walk, to Kuku coffee shop.
Read moreThe only place in Jaisalmer where you’ll see a vegan menu and the owners are incredibly kind and you can tell that they are passionate about what they provide.
The coffee is outstanding, my partner loved the pistachio iced latte. They also do a beautiful blooming rose tea and many other drinks you will not see on many menus. The oat milk and soy milk are homemade.
The food was lovely - the vegan smoothie bowl was a favourite, we also had some off menu vegan pancakes, the smoothies and vegan milkshakes are next level. Other exciting options include vegan omelettes, upma, poha. They are constantly striving to improve and add new items.
We loved it so much we came back 5 times, the rooftop is just a lovely place to relax, watch the beautiful Jaisalmer sunset and enjoy Deepak and Ritesh (Kuku and Tony)’s lovely company.

Awesome place - homemade vegan milk - Edit
We went twice to Kuku - this place is run by 2 brothers and you can really feel their passion about it. It’s super cosy, the food is delicious and we had nice chats with them about many topics. Thank you for making our stay in Jaisalmer even better 🙏

Great little spot! - Edit
Kuku have lovely staff who are welcoming and understand what vegan is. The cafe doesn’t really do dinner food but have coffee that is as close to western coffee as you can find in India and good snack food. We’ve had banana oatmeal (not on menu), the vegan omelette, noodles, toast and fries. All have been good. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Jaisalmer - it also has a good view.
Read morePros: Understand vegan, Nice staff, Good view
Cons: Slightly more expensive

Delicious Vegan Omelette everything else 👎 - Edit
I would love to give KuKus 4 stars but unfortunately the only positive thing I can say is that the omelette was a amazingly delicious and enjoyed eating it with a breathtaking view from on top of the fort. However food took too long to come out and coffees are just overpriced yes I understand you have a coffee machine but it’s not really that much of a deal that you have to raise your prices that much.. I asked for an Americano and I paid 230 for it wow!! I confronted the owner and he said I gIve you large with three shots when I didn’t even ask for that.. and also the menu does not even say that the coffee has three shots!! Anyways the three stars go all to the omelette but won’t be returning!! Porridge disappointed don’t bother, watery and undercooked.
Read morePros: Omelette
Cons: Expensive coffee

Café sympa avec options véganes - Edit
Café sur lequel on ne tombe pas par hasard, mais qui vaut le détour ! Très jolie vue sur la ville et le coucher de soleil, patron très sympa et qui parle anglais, options vegan et lait de soja disponible ! On peut aussi demander du lait de coco (la veille pour le lendemain). Propositions de petit-déjeuner avec smoothie banane - beurre de cacahuète et porridge au lait végétal pour exemple. Adresse à tester !
Read morePros: Lait végétal , Tres belle vue, Patron sympa
Cons: Attention aux moustiques !, Pas de desserts vegans

Fabulous view, great food and tasty drinks - Edit
As a vegan I didn’t think I would have many options in this part of India so this place was like utopia!
Read moreThere are a range of soy milk milkshakes available as well as soy milk hot chocolate. I also really enjoyed the vegetable pakoras and some of the vegetable rice dishes.
The food isn’t fancy but it is tasty and local. There is also a fabulous vegan desert that is local to Jaisalmer. On top of all that there is an incredible view, so, like me, you will probably return a few times (fabulous at sunset)!
Pros: Soy milk drink options, Vegan desert, Tasty local vegan foods

Excellent cafe inside Jaisalmer fort - Edit
This small rooftop cafe is amazing! The brothers who own and run it are so lovely and understand veganism well so they cater to special requests. The soy milk masala chai is veryyyyy delicious!!!! I cant come here without ordering two or three of them! The view from the rooftop is one of the best. This cafe has a very relaxed and chill vibe, and you can even plug your phone into their speaker system if you want to have your own music play. Coffee here is from beans which the brothers source from different places. English is spoken well so your requests to veganize items are well understood. To find this cafe head to the northern most corner of the fort.
Read morePros: Soy milk for chai/coffee, Great views, Owners understand concept of veganism
