Holi 2026: Jaipur restaurant introduces bhang-infused sweets, ‘Ek bite aur seedha chaand par’

Viral video shows bhang-infused jalebi and rasmalai at Jaipur eatery

As Holi approaches and colours begin to take over the streets, a Jaipur eatery has found a way to turn up the festive mood with a menu that quite literally adds a buzz to the celebrations. A food vlogger recently took to X to showcase a specially curated Holi spread centred around bhang-infused sweets, and the video has quickly caught the internet’s attention.

In her detailed post, she walked viewers through a line-up of desserts crafted especially for Holi. The highlight of the menu is the Holi Special Bhang Jalebi. Freshly fried, crisp and glistening with sugar syrup, the jalebis are served hot and golden but with what she described as a “special festive twist.” The addition of bhang gives the classic sweet an unconventional edge, blending tradition with a playful Holi vibe.

Another crowd-puller on the menu is Bhang Rasmalai. The soft, spongy discs soaked in creamy, flavoured milk promise a melt-in-the-mouth experience, elevated with the subtle infusion of bhang. The vlogger described it as a rich festive indulgence, perfect for those looking to experiment beyond the usual sweets.

The eatery has also introduced Bhang Biscuits along with Bhang Peda, giving a traditional mithai favourite a celebratory twist. Together, the menu leans heavily into the spirit of Holi, where bhang has long been associated with revelry and celebration in many parts of North India.

For customers who prefer to stick to safer, more familiar flavours, the restaurant has balanced the experimental spread with classic Holi staples. These include Phag Ras, a seasonal festive drink, the ever-popular Gujiya filled with sweet khoya and dry fruits, and a Thandai-flavoured Gujiya that merges two Holi essentials into one nostalgic dessert.

Receives mixed reactions online 

The video has sparked mixed reactions online. While some users were amused and intrigued by the concept, others were sceptical. One comment joked, “Bhaang 0.2%, colour 99.8%,” hinting that the festive hype might outweigh the actual kick. Another user claimed they had tried the sweets the previous year and felt they were not worth the money. A third quipped dramatically, “Ek bite aur seedha chaand par pahuch jao,” suggesting that even a single bite could send someone straight to the moon.
