under the mango tree - jehan numa palace

a hotel of the pataudis !  so you raise your expectation for the nawabi treat to your taste buds. and it dint fail mine :)
 murg lahori was done real authentic. the rich and creamy gravy was just perfect.
the meat was nice and juicy.

the ambiance is also good for a nice cold winter.

though this tale is 7 years old. i wonder if the taste is still kept intact.

if you are living in bhopal, u must go and visit. reviewing it late but true!!

ambiance :
this reataraunt is a small set up under the mango tree area in the jehan numa palace. the palace itself is so big and beautiful. when u enter you feel like some king :p
there are very few tables placed under tree near fountain with slow unplugged live music. known for its candle light dinner.
 high class crowd. 

service:
about the staff. they were very polite and so welcoming.

food:
tasty food. i like this place for it's indian food. the best yellow dal in bhopal. no excessive oil. ekdum ghar ka khana.

little expensive because of its food and set up but worth paying :)

the best murgh malai in the world
the barbeque is outstanding
chapli kebabs to die for
the platter is absolutely brilliant
go home with a really stuffed tummy
in one word actually two food coma which is an amazing thing

my childhood memories last here . a true luxury class place and food is delicious . i can't write more because i would like recommend readers to visit this restaurant at jehan numa place ,bhopal and feel luxury and class by your self .... but do visit at night clam n peaceful place

if you live in bhopal or are just visiting, this is a must place to visit. the service is quite good and the welcome is warm. the best part is the food. the meats here are the best they just melt of the bone. the rogan josh is one of the tastiest you'll ever have.

i decided to try this restaurant, a day after diwali, because of the excellent ratings on zomato. excellent ambience i must say. however, our nightmare just began. after ordering, we had to wait nearly an hour to get our starters. understandably the starters arrived cold. the service was so bad that we had to plead for cutlery. after all this brouhaha, the main course arrived hot but alas, the chefs had put either too much salt or no salt in the food. we somehow finished our meal and escaped from this venerable institution of bhopal.

had heard a lot about this place.. so finally paid a visit....the restaurant located inside jehan numa palace offers a great ambience and on entering here u cant help but admire the beauty of the place ... had been here while it was raining... and midway through my dinner i noticed the mango tree through the fibre glass window on top..and then i realized why the name.... they have a barbeque styled kitchen right in front of the dining area... and this place is great for barbeque... the food is heavy on the pockets.. but the service here was really disappointing...i was here on a sunday evening.. probably a busy evening for them... the manager was clearly finding it hard to cater to everyone.... they were clearly understaffed.. i will give them a 4 for the ambience..3 for the food.. and 1 for their poor service...

“under the mango tree - nice place for candle light dinner”
we went to this restaurant, which is actually a mix of different cuisines and types. but i really liked their daal curry and baingain ki bhujiya along with some really good fries. i recommend this place due to its economical rates to others vegetarians also. very calm...don't miss this one should you be around. the chef has great magic wound which will make your wish come true... people and staff are super cool.

it is a nice place, with good ambience and a warm atmosphere. the place is ideal to visit with family or with someone special. though finding a table on weekends may be a problem. so if you plan to have dinner, then book the table in advance. food is good especially the non-vegetarian food. apart from this restaurant in hotel jehanuma there are two more restaurants and a laid back coffee shop where you can chill with your friends... with respect to price , it is one of the most expensive places to eat out in bhopal.

during the holidays at bhopal, i discovered a long lost friend unearthing him after 34 long years! while our respective shapes and sizes underwent a whole lot of mutations, the bonhomie never faded over time. my friend hosted me an excellent dinner at the restaurant, 'under the mango tree' on a leisurely sunday evening for a journey down the memory lane. the ambiance and food enticed me for a repeat visit to the restaurant next day with six of my family members. 

on entering jehan numa palace of 19th. century vintage and crossing over the plush hotel lobby, we located the aptly christened restaurant, 'under the mango tree' with an ancient mango tree as its company. the restaurant is open on all sides with a provision to extend dining arrangements in the lawns around during more agreeable climes. we settled inside the covered area and truly fell for the environs. the wicker furniture, muted lighting in the eating area and a gently gurgling fountain in the lawns all added to the ambiance. 

while some of us chose the hard drinks (specific brands on promotion at 50% discount), two of us went for mocktails (rs.250/- each). a portion of 'murgh malai tikka' (rs.565/-) was lapped up as the starter. our main courses comprised a portion each of 'murgh biryani' (rs.480/-), dal tadka (rs.260/-), mix vegetables (rs.300/-), 'nihari gosht' (rs.615/-) along with tandoori rotis (rs.50/- apiece). for dessert, we asked for vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate (rs.280/-), chocolate mousse (rs.300/-) and brownies with ice cream (rs.325/-). chicken tikka was quite pricey but tasted good. chicken biryani, cooked in awadhi style was rich with aroma and served in quantity enough to cater to two persons. we also enjoyed the mutton nihari, prepared in old delhi mughlai cooking style. dal tadka and mix veg were nothing to write home about. 

jehan numa palace would score very high for the ambiance but its top dollar pricing for the quality of food served makes it little overrated.

a peaceful candle light family dinner at this place is a bliss.

ambiance is extremely nice and peaceful.

the staff is very helpful..may be because they know my family.

first i prefer the range of soups they serve. the barbeque is just brilliant. grilled paneer and kebabs are one of my favorite items that i order the most. (makhmali paneer and dilruba are fav.) :d

main course:

the paneer dishes are just fabulous. there are very few places in bhopal that excel in making good paneer dishes. jehan numa is on top of the list.

dum alloo is also very nice. dal tadka and dal makhni is extremely delicious.

the range of rice dishes..veg. pulav, biryani and fried rice are worth a try.

also, they have a good variety of sweets.

this place never disappoints me. (touchwood)

our family's favorite place for a good dinner.

therefore it goes for 5/5.

jehan numa palace - a heritage destination hotel in the city of lakes, bhopal. the mango tree is basically located under a longstanding mango tree in the central patio. this is mainly known for barbeque and starters. basically i visited with lots of high expectations after hearing a lot from my friends and family members. but, there is no such ambiance at this place, so don’t raise your expectations before going. it’s very simple place near a mango tree and a fountain, which may made them bit rich in terms of location. partially situated on a hill and yes, here valet parking is available. :d
as a complimentary, they offer white & garlic bread with amul butter, bread soup sticks & peanuts. in the appetizer, we started with barbeque veg platter of all the starters. it had baked potato, grilled paneer, stuffed tomato, bell peppers, some carrot, cucumber, lettuces, onions, hara bhara kahab, etc. the taste was nice, but could have been better. one can also try baked aloo (i don’t remember the exact name) which also looked bit attractive to me.

in the main course, we had daal tadka and dum aloo kashmiri. it was served with red gravy which was okay. daal tadka was very good.

in the breads, we had tandori roti and butter naan. it looked good but was all cold and became sticky. this was because just after serving platter, they served main course within some minutes. after requesting manager, they replaced 3/4th of the overall bread order. with such a known hotel, they don’t even know when to serve what? this was not at all expected from high class palace.
hospitality – 2.5/5 not up to the expectations. i think they should hire some more staff so that they can server every table. it looked like there were only 3-4 staff members including manager who was available in the lawn. you may need to call them again and again for water or extra order, by calling hey! hey! which was a complete disappointment.
cost – expensive as compared to the hospitality received. it would come around 800-1000/person. quality of food – 4/5overall - a nice pleasant place with not much show-off. :-) i would give them 4/5. recommended.
