A gateway to the royal era of the Rajputana and Mughal dynasties, the Suvarna Mahal at the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur has been awarded the title of the Best Hotel Restaurant in India in 2024. Beating out heavy-duty contenders in the lineup like ITC Grand Chola’s Avartana in Chennai, Baan Thai at the Oberoi Grand in Kolkata, and Taj Palace’s Loya in Delhi, Suvarnma Mahal won the hearts of both the public and the experts at the World Culinary Awards. The awards, in their fifth outing this year in Dubai, aim to highlight the finest chefs, restaurants, hotels, and culinary destinations worldwide. They are awarded based on a combination of public votes and expert nominations. Ziya at The Oberoi in Mumbai took home the award for the Best Hotel Restaurant last year. Suvarna Mahal is housed in the former palace ballroom of the Rambagh Palace, a historical marvel that was once the residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur. The space’s architectural grandeur is evident in its soaring ceilings, elaborate frescoes, and intricate crystal chandeliers. The walls are adorned with vintage portraits, and the majestic gold-plated dining hall exudes splendor, making every meal feel like a royal feast. The restaurant is famed for its authentic Indian cuisine, offering a curated menu that spans India’s diverse culinary traditions. Suvarna Mahal brings to life the flavours of Rajasthan, Awadh, Punjab, and Hyderabad with dishes passed down through generations of royal chefs. The chefs use traditional cooking techniques, including slow-cooking in clay pots, to ensure that each dish reflects the authenticity and richness of India’s culinary heritage. Signature dishes include the Rajasthani Laal Maas, a spicy lamb curry, and Dum Pukht Biryani , slow-cooked in sealed containers to infuse the rice with aromatic flavors. Vegetarian guests are equally pampered with dishes like Dal Makhni and Gatta Curry, which showcase the richness of regional Indian ingredients. Each bite celebrates India’s vast culinary landscape, and the menu is thoughtfully paired with an extensive wine list, adding a modern twist to the dining experience. Dining at Suvarna Mahal is a sensory journey. As live classical music plays softly in the background, guests are enveloped in the ambiance of Rajasthan’s regal past. The grandeur of the palace ballroom, the tantalising aromas wafting from the kitchen, and the intricate presentation of each dish come together to create an experience that is as much about the setting as it is about the food. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a foodie, or simply someone looking to experience the grandeur of India’s royal past, Suvarna Mahal is a must-visit restaurant in Jaipur. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a journey back in time to the days of Indian royalty, where every detail is crafted to leave you feeling like a Maharaja. None
