**A Royal Feast Fit for a Maharaja: 10/10 Experience at Jamavar, The Leela Palace Bengaluru** Dining at Jamavar in The Leela Palace Bengaluru is nothing short of stepping into a bygone era of opulence and grandeur. From the moment you enter, the ambiance envelops you in luxury—intricate gold leaf paintings, rich Jamavar shawls draping the walls, hand-carved screens, and silver table settings that gleam under soft lighting, all complemented by vibrant floral urlis. It's a setting that truly embodies "Atithi Devo Bhava," making you feel like royalty. But the true star of the evening was the **Signature Maharaja Vegetarian Menu**—a masterful thali-style tasting journey that celebrates the finest vegetarian treasures from across India's royal kitchens. This isn't just a meal; it's a symphony of flavors, textures, and aromas executed with unparalleled finesse. The experience began with refreshing appetizers: a spiced buttermilk to cleanse the palate, followed by delicate crispy betel and spinach chaat laced with tangy tamarind, mint chutney, and yogurt—light, crunchy, and bursting with balanced sweetness and spice. The tandoori vegetables and vegetarian kebabs that followed were sublime: perfectly charred yet juicy, infused with subtle smokiness and complex spicing that elevated simple ingredients to extraordinary heights. The mains were the highlight—a curated selection of curries and accompaniments that showcased Jamavar's legendary expertise in vegetarian cuisine. The Dal Jamavar (their signature black lentil dal) was pure indulgence: slow-simmered to creamy perfection, rich with buttery depth yet remarkably light on the palate. Paired with delicately spiced paneer or vegetable preparations (think tender bhindi or perfectly textured spinach saag), aromatic vegetable biryani layered with saffron and fresh herbs, and an array of freshly baked breads from the tandoor—each bite was harmonious and soul-satisfying. Sides like raita and pickles added refreshing contrasts, ensuring every element complemented the next. Desserts sealed the perfection: a classic kulfi or gulab jamun that was elegantly presented and flawlessly executed—creamy, fragrant, and not overly sweet. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff knowledgeable about each dish's heritage and happy to guide pairings. Every detail, from the pacing of courses to the presentation on fine silverware, felt thoughtful and regal. For vegetarians seeking the pinnacle of Indian fine dining, the Maharaja Veg Menu at Jamavar is unmatched. It's not just food; it's an unforgettable celebration of India's vegetarian culinary legacy. Worth every rupee and every moment—hands down, a flawless 10/10. I'll be returning soon! Highly recommended for special occasions or simply to treat yourself like a Maharaja.

Extremely disappointing experience at Jamavar about 3 weeks ago at lunch which was very unexpected since I've been here multiple times before and never had a bad time. We took the Maharani set menu and the staff took way too long between courses. At one point they made us wait 40 mins between the first and second course. The restaurant was at capacity but they were definitely not understaffed. When we asked for second servings, that took ages to come as well. All this wait didn't even allow us to enjoy the food properly. In the end one of the head staff came to apologize and ask if we needed anything else. We asked them for a second serving of a dessert, but then they straight up forgot about it and one of the other waiters got us the bill. I was done with this place at this point. Coming to the food, the prawns, chicken, and mutton starters were good. The rest were okayish and the desserts were uninspiring. I'd prefer a Royal Afghan or a Kebabs and Curries over Jamavar now.
