sheesh mahal - the leela

i loved the ambience of the place. great lakeviewdining, feels like having a floating dinner. the food was expensive but totally worth it. really tasty food. specially the chicken bhuna masala. loved it so much.

we looked up lakeviewrestaurants in udaipur and found sheesh mahal to be the ideal place looking at the pictures and reviews. we made a reservation in advance (and i recommend to book a table before visiting).

to reach the hotel, we took the hotel boat from doodh talai which costs 200 rs + tax per person. i'm not sure if there's any other simpler way to reach the hotel. they check the ids before you board the boat so make sure to carry them.

the boat ride is a quick 10-min ride and offers great views of pichola lake. we went much after dark so couldn't see much. also, one should not take the old city route to reach doodh talai as it has extremely small roads and cars cannot cross them (we had to take an auto).

on reaching the palace, we were greeted and escorted to sheesh mahal. we were given a nice table just by the lake. the ambience was great. everything looked resplendent.

we quickly ordered our food - daal bati choorma, paneer makhani, breads and dahi ke kebab for starters. i loved the dahe ke kebabs and also the main course apart from daal bati which was pretty average.

we had no appetite left for dessert hence didn't try one. overall experience was great and totally worth it, even though it was quite expensive (says 2200 for 2 on zomato but shpuld be close to 5k for 2).

it was a perfect candlelight lakeside dinner with amazing views of taj lake palace, city palace, etc. we went back by the boat which dropped us to doodh talai, from where our car picked us up.

good ambition over priced staff is very good food is average sheesh mahalviewof pichola lake is really beautiful ,we had here for dinner in july 2019 ,over all not worht spending ,better go for dinner on other dinner

wonderful luxury dining at premium prices. 3000 for 2.

1. food: 5/5 authentic taste, excellent quality. portion size of curries is sufficient for single serving to 4 adults. portion size of breads is smaller than any other restaurant. the typical punjabi 'makki ki roti' and rajasthani 'bajra roti' are prepared in a traditional manner on coal. this is slowly cooked.

2. staff: 5/5 highly hospitable, courteous, professional, knowledgeable about what they are serving.

3. ambience: 5/5 this is beyond anyone's imagination. just fabulousviewof palace and lake. beautifully designed floor. staff costume is rajasthani style which completes the palaceviewwith rajasthani dishes and feeling.

overall, wonderful place

as the name says, the leela palace it’s in itself one of the best hotels to be in. the entire leela experience to celebrate my “first wedding anniversary” was awesome.
we made reservation at this open air lake facing restaurant, thanks to mr. ramiz (butler manager, the leela) for recommending this outlet to have dinner on our anniversary. extended thanks to mr. sagar (the restaurant manager), who had reserved the bestviewtable for the eve and also recommended the best local specialties and the drinks from the menu. i also extend my gratitude towards mr. ajith who took care of our table, as he made sure the food served was warm in that freezing weather. each and every staff was so welcoming and smiling. altogether, it was memorable dinner with delicious food and a good staff which made the evening worth it.

first of all, what aviewyou get when you dine next to a lake and that too... lake pichola. you can either reach sheesh mahal by road or you make reservations to avail a boat ride. the reservation are based on time slots and the best time to enjoy the beauty of udaipur is during sunset. this place gives you a chance to see the udaipur is lights specially the city palace. although, no one can compare theviewfrom jag mandir... but anyways, this place has its own charms and leisure. as usual, the staff is very polite and chef reaches out to you for feedback.

theviewis just spellbound, food is good, but once you are there you won’t concentrate on your food rather the ambience. perfect dining location for couples.
we had dhaniya chicken, murgh mokul, non veg platter everything tasted good.
may be price is on the higher side, but then who cares you are with her, in leela, along the lake side it won’t get better.

if someone wants to experience the “city of lakes”, there is nothing better than sitting in this luxurious restaurant with the beautifulviewof the lake pichola. the food is to die for. truly a majestic experience, something to cherish for ever. my experience was uplifted by the fact that it was my birthday eve and i couldn’t have asked for more.

a lakeviewtable, dim lights,an elegant ambience is what you will experience the time you step into this restaurant operated by the leela hotel. 4 different chutneys are served on every table before meal which are par excellent and the pineapple chutney is to die for. the best lal maas i ever had in my life, appetizers were upto the mark, made with fresh and top quality ingredients that is what i felt in the first bite. though you may feel difficulty in finding reservation here and the bill may turn little heavy on pocket but the interactive chefs, happy stewards and a lady taking down the authentic rajasthani chapati makes this dinning a wonderful experience.
