Under The Mango Tree - Bhopal

Under the mango tree Fancy name.Often referred as the best restaurant in Bhopal. We actually went to Shahnama but it was under renovation and we were asked to shift to UTMT which opens only in the evening after 7 pm but its pretty clear.Our servers were great (especially kavtakchi, i am sorry i don't remember his exact name).Expensive but totally worth it.Ambience is amazing, different aura all together.Food is amazing as well, we ordered Dal Shahnama (cooked for 16 hour over charcoal, their speciality and was a huge disappointment), Naan and khameri roti, baigan mirchi ka salan(amazing) and fruit raita.Their speciality is the reason, i am giving them 4* otherwise hell of a restaurant. Wonderful staff.Seating is another aspect i wasn't impressed with especially with their compact tables not suitable for 3 or more people.Anyway i will definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

If you’re in Bhopal then do not forget to visit this place. It’s a beautiful place under a huge mango tree. The ambience is superb with good vibes. You can either sit on rooftop or on the ground floor. But I’d suggest you to prefer rooftop (if the weather allows . Talking about the food, it was very well freshly cooked and very well presented. I won’t say it is budget friendly but It’s completely worth it!!The staff was friendly and courteous.

Late Post Alert!<br/ <br/ Located within one of the most prominent hotels Jehan Numa Palace, the restaurant was on our bucket list.<br/ <br/ The ambience was chic and a very friendly staff. However, the food felt short of our expectations and we feel the food could have been slightly better and tasteful.

We visited this restaurant after 4 years and the first reaction of ours was to see this fully covered. What once was an al fresco restaurant literally Under the Mango Tree, was now completely turned into fine dining restaurant and much to our disappointment, with the rains, even their arrangements of the al fresco set up on the first floor of the restaurant were closed. Anyhow, since we were staying at the hotel, we chose to have dinner here anyway and the happiness and satisfaction started coming back with each dish we called for. The restaurant may have changed its set up but the punch of flavours it delivered back then is still the same. <br/ <br/ Without getting into appetizers, we straight away called for mains and our order was:<br/ <br/ Mirch Baingan Ka Salan, Methi Kofta in Palak Gravy and Lauki Mussalam along with variety of Kulchas, naans and rotis. <br/ <br/ The two dishes that really stood out were Lauki Mussalam and the Khameeri Roti. We literally called for another portion of Lauki, a vegetable we never prefer eating at home leave alone paying for and calling in a restaurant, however, the stuffing of that perfectly delicious paneer inside the discs of Lauki and the rich cashew nut based gravy was just lip-smackingly good! Also the Khameeri Roti, very native to Bhopal was crisp and crusted with seeds on top. It was yeast added roti bread made fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside with the baking in tandoor! Surprisingly good!<br/ <br/ We highly recommend this restaurant too, and if you can really then please take the open air set up to eat food! It's still beautiful!

In love with this place. I can go there for breakfast and Dinner at anytime. Apart from the complete menu, baigan la bhartha is something you must order.
