'''Marwari Bhojnalaya''' is a popular name among [[Marwar]]i-style purely vegetarian restaurants in many cities in India.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/The-city-eternal/article15387736.ece|title=The city eternal|date=2008-08-23|work=The Hindu|access-date=2018-06-09|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> They are all independently owned. The term "marwari" implies that it is intended for Marwari merchants, who are strictly vegetarian and prefer relatively simple (which can be eaten daily) and inexpensive food. They are however popular among all vegetarians. The term "bhojanalaya" practically always implies simple and inexpensive vegetarian cuisine. Restaurants named "Jain Bhojanalaya"<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/From-the-desert-country/article15927049.ece|title=From the desert country|date=2009-05-21|work=The Hindu|access-date=2018-06-09|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> or "Vaishanva Dhaba" are also vegetarian. Note that restaurants are often called "hotel" in India. Some of them used to offer traditional seating on wooden patiyas{{clarify|date=May 2021}} on the floor, but the custom is no longer popular and tables and chairs are now more common.<br />

==Cuisine==<br />
In spite of the name, the food served is not necessarily Rajasthan style. For example, [[Dal-bati]] meals and dishes such as [[gatte ki kadhi]] which are quite popular in Rajasthan, are often not served, or served only on special occasion. Rich and festive Rajasthani food can be found in special restaurants such as [[Chokhi-dhani]] chain. The food is generally served in stainless steel [[thali]]s (platters). Often onions are served only on request, because many Marwaris and Jains do not eat onions.<br />
