shahnama - jehan numa palace

it's usually a crowded place on weekends.the service is not gud at all if there is event like marriage going on .
ordered veg biryani , mutton biryani both tasted very normal

ambience -5/5
food - 3/5
servicing -2/5

one of the best restaurants of the hotel with impeccable food and service. not your typical hangout place as it's a bit pricey but amazing if you're in for a celebratory meal or with family. i highly recommend it.

nice experience for a first time stay at the palace.the ambience and layout is just perfect and has a vintage touch to the decor.the breakfast had a spread which obviously was not as elebrate as a 5 star should be,but was decent enough.adding a pic of my plate only.

you can never go unsatisfied with this place. it has the best buffet in town and have the perfect selection of food set up. a great fan of the live music which is so soothing while you enjoy your meal. basically a fan of everything shahnama!

nice and rich ambiance. a nice place to have dinner with family. its lavish and so the rates specially for the buffe but fair enough to visit once in a while. starters and dessert is good, main course not so impressive.
overall a not so budget friendly restaurant but good if you want to experience the royalty.

the 4 star is a rating given mainly because of the desi chicken korma which was ordered and devoured with some naans... loved the korma which was well braised , creamy with a lovely balance of spices infused... the rest was food as usual ... not an exceptional variety kind. i would suggest to stick to bhopali specialities when visiting this place.

shanama serves the best buffet in the city.if we come to the starters,from soups to the all veg/nonveg kebabs are mouths watering. the taste of chicken is quite different here .the quality of food is too high.in the main course i like the veg over nonveg .the desets are the best part of buffet. i loved the variety of halwa , the mousse,the puddings all are scrumptious.the ambiance is so soothing .in one line worth visiting over and over again !

one of the fine hotel to dine and enjoy with friends and family. food is tasty and staff is well behaved and this the thing we expect from this palace hotel.

my experience with their services was very much disappointing. i mean you don't expect such poor and slow staff from an a rated hotel like this. they really need to work in this area. also the staff is not very polite. the food was pretty decent. but the overall experience was bad because of the service majorly.

the ambience was good. it had a wide variety of dishes to choose from and the taste was also good but what disappointed me was the service provided. i placed an order which took them around 30 minutes to bring it, that too was not complete. then it took another 20 minutes for them to complete my order. overall the experience was not so good...!!

yesterday on 10 of may 2015 i went with my family for buffet dinner in this restaurant with my preconceived notion of going to a great place. it was a great disappointment , it was ill kept , service was very poor , cuisine was limited, food was looking stale, buffet at most places was empty and it was a complete disaster. please discourage others because you may spoil your evening .

wide breakfast spread. new varieties added daily. the dinner spread is elaborate too. in a la carte tried the palak dahi shorba and the lauki musallam. very well prepared.

the buffet here is good but it's expensive..
the ambience here is different compared to others..
the place and vibe here is good
the service here is also good

the food was very delicious.


servicing a buffet in today's age is piece of cake but servicing a great buffet is a feat in itself and that's only possible when the whole staff from the person standing at reception to the chef who's back in the kitchen work harmoniously and with full dedication.

from soups to the starter to the main course and then desserts every item on the counter is delicious, packing all sorts of flavour smoky palak raita then five spice lamb in the salad bar, alongside other servings will bring all your food fantasy to life.

wide range of options in the main course and this is where they establish their supremacy. in most of the buffet, the main course is the weakest link of the whole experience but shahnama has kept the quality of its main course at par asserting its quality.

overall, if you planning for an easy night with friends and family who call themselves foodies this should be your first choice of preference. although they need to work on their french desserts or if not possible just get rid of it from the dessert section, as they already have plenty of best options in serving.

i have been to this place and have the best bhopali murgh rizala . this is must try dish if you are looking for local cuisine with a past history.i found staff is courteous and service is excellent.
should be on must visit list😀
