shahnama - jehan numa palace

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 butgoodif you want to experience the royalty.

the ambience was good. it had a wide variety of dishes to choose from and the taste was alsogoodbut 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...!!

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

excellent buffet. everything was very tasty. i loved the mock tail and mutton saag specially. lots of options for salads and deserts and main course. starters were verygoodbut choices were very few.

tried the breakfast buffet. assortment wasgoodnot as lavish as the once i have been to in other 5 stars. loved the baked yogurt i’ll love to go back to try it again.

had breakfast buffet it was a nice experience the restaurant has agoodambience and royal look, the staff was courteous and the buffet spread was quite nice they have south indian, english breakfast and a nice cheese platter.they have live counter for dosa,paratha,pancake there wasgoodvariety of desserts tea and coffee and juices. the overall experience was nice. the breakfast buffet was 895 inclusive taxes.

quite dissatisfied and disappointed. came here to have dinner with family for birthday celebration.

pros :
-goodservice
- mutton curry was quite nice and spicy.
- baked yogurt was lovely

cons :
- tasteless starters. no spice, no crunch. only oil
- baked fish was just as tasteless as their panna cotta.
- much too overpriced.

everything isgoodabout this heritage hotel. shahnama is buffet style restaurant with lots of varieties. live music is the added attraction.
recommended - fish fry, shawarma, baked breads and deserts

went with friends for chinese lunch. food was freshly prepared, delicious and great drinks too. the service was fast. seating is comfortable. overallgoodexperience.

we had buffet lunch at shahnama. the entrance to the hotel was impressive but the ambience of the restaurant was okay considering the 5-star hotel located at scenic view of the city.

now about food, the coriander soup served with bread was okay. starters lacked variety as out of four, two were of paneer and other two tasted very similar.

salads and other add on ingredients were just right with the spice and tanginess.

i loved the inclusion of cheese & crackers in the menu.

main course was quitegoodwith choices of vegetables. choices of breads were also good. we ordered makke ki roti ( cornmeal flat bread) and it was delicious considering the outside cold weather.

desserts had again few choices for non-eggetarians.
though gajar ka halwa (sweetened carrot pudding) was very tasty.

staff & service - all staff members were very supportive and quick. they provided all services with very pleasant manner. thumbs up for them.


to sum up, the food and overall experience at the hotel wasgoodand enjoyable.

don't get me wrong for saying this but for a five star hotel, this restaurant is just above average. english south indian and continental breakfast options are what they offer and the usual suspects such as sauted vegetables, sisages, salami, veg cutlets, fried potatoes, idli, vada, poori, pan cakes, poha are all there. their egg quiche was a disappointment and they had minced chicken for breakfast , something that i thought was unusual
the tea served wasgoodand so were their juices.
the staff all except one were super nice and they had agoodservice too .
