la kuchina - jehan numa palace

this place still has no competitors in terms of the variety and authenticity of its offerings in bhopal, becauseitalianfood is still not all that common here. 

but their quality can vary greatly across dishes so its quite unpredictable. for e.g. what we ordered was hunter lamb steak, but what we got was a flavorless patty of minced lamb (which can never qualify as a steak). 

however they made a good pepperoni pizza for which i might forgive them their mess of a steak! the service and ambience are good, and i like their interior decor.

la kuchina is by far the best italianrestaurant in bhopal and will be amongst the best in country. right from the time you enter the premises you are warmly welcomed and restaurant manager takes personal care of you. ambience is also very good and has open live kitchen. you can see and smell the food being prepared by team of chef and cooks.
i was there with my family and had ordered crispy fried black pepper chicken for starters along with beer and cucumber drink. the chicken was mildly flavoured and was good.
then we ordered peri peri veg pizza which was also good along with spicy primavera pasta which was outstanding. it tasted so
good as it is so cheesy and perfectly flavoured.i highly recommend la kuchina for being a out standing restaurant.

one of my favourite places, server greatitalianfood, good ambience. service can be slow sometimes, overall a good experience. best option foritalianfood in bhopal in my opinion.

best and authenticitalianfood in town. we went with high hopes and la kuchina lived upto it. the ambience was great, service was prompt and courteous and the food was excellent. reasonably priced for the food, its quality , for the ambience and the service. the food reminded us the taste of tuscany. adding a pic of cannelloni. highly recommended and we look forward to visit again.

amazingitalianrestaurant at the palace​ loved the ambience,it was a busy saturday evening,but the order arrived on the table with bearable delay.the hunters lamb,with smashed potatoes and spinach is 5/5 don't miss it.the chargrilled salmon, missed was on the dry side,but the spaghetti accompanied with the same made up for the miss.they also serve you complimentary garlic bread​ , which you won't see in the pic as we finished the same,before i remembered to take a pic :)

la kuchina has simply the bestitaliancuisine in whole of central india. it's a complete experience thats just amazing, the service, the food, ambience, everything is par excellence. miss their chicken lasagna, and await it to be added on the menu again. their buffalo wings reminded me of the authentic buffalo wings, which i was looking for since years. the best and hats-off to that.

its is located in jehan numa palace. its a fine dineitalianrestaurant. i visited in afternoon so lights were dim. there was proper table setup on every table but it was very silent place, no music. i ordered chicken alfredo al forno, all chicken pizza and lemon ice tea. food taste and quality was unbelievable and amazing. chicken alfredo al forno pasta was one of the best pasta i ever had. beautifully presented. they serve garlic bread complimentary. overall it was very pleasant experience.

we ordered the mushroom trifolati as our starter and it was in an asian sauce (soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds) so kind of not expected from the bestitalianrestaurant in bhopal. the draught beer tasted quite similar to kingfisher premium, could be wrong about it. the lamb steak was bang average which was completely ruined by the extra salty sauce. i know at such restaurants we are paying for the ambience but to be honest the place can do so much better, i expected the lake side view and what not but it was a small cafe type place and you could see the hotel guests checking in and out. the only redeeming thing was the pesto pasta, it was pretty decent. but at such a place you just don't want decent food, you're going their for amazing and great food.

no body servesitalianas good as la kuchina jehanuma bhopal..pizzas are to die for... i am desperately waiting to have pizzas at la kuchina..

if you ever want to experience fine dining and the bestitaliancuisine in bhopal, it's la kuchina at jehan numa palace hotel that you've got to head to! we haven't seen fancier set up than this or such finesse in cooking either all throughout the capital city! while we tried a wholesome bit of a lot of items, what still lingers in our minds are a few things:

miso, potato and porcini soup with goat cheese cream and herb oil - the delicately accentuated flavour, the creamy texture and the whiff of shrooms just makes this soup probably the finest we've ever had anywhere!

sundried tomato pesto gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and basil foam - this one's no secret, they restaurant is known for its gnocchi and hence we had to try it! verdict? must have!

of the other items were clear soup, spinach and ricotta crepes, mushroom and cheese stuffed cannelloni, spinach and feta stuffed chicken and more which could've been a little more flavourful but were delicious nonetheless! 

p.s - the staff is very accommodating! we asked if they could make our pizza half and half, veg and non veg so as to enable us to try variety, and they were happy to oblige!

they have removed most items what most regular customers liked. if you have ever been to any authenticitalianrestaurant, be prepared for a truly harrowing experience. the level confidence in their incompetence is almost comic. whoever designed the menu should be given a ticket to outside asap.

visiting la kuchina always feels like you’re sitting in a cute cafe right in anitalianstreet. gnocchi is my favourite go to dish whenever i go there. the food is amazing and authentic !

one of the bestitalianplace in town for a quite lunch / dinner. the staff is hospitable and the ambiance is delightful. would highly recommend the alfredo pasta and garlic bread!

this is place is worth visiting for fine dinning. they serve the bestitalianfood in the city. the ambience is very soothing and the staff is very courteous.

you won't get betteritalianand mediterranean food that this in bhopal. absolutely delightful and i enjoy a meal here every single time. p.s you can't see the lake from here, nor from any other spot in this hotel.
