Marble Arch - Bhopal

05 August, 2017.I was on Bhopal on official work, and the official lunch wasorganised at the impressive heritage hotel Noor-us-Sabah on VIProad, a short distance from Lalghati. The hotel is on top of asmall hill, overlooking the beautiful lake which characterisesthe city of Bhopal. The palace has been restored beautifully, andthe restaurant (named `Marble Arch'). The complex has a welcomingfeel to it, with an old horse-drawn carriage at the covered entrance ofthe heritage property. It is quite clear that the rooms of apersonal residence have been converted into his quaint hotel andrestaurant, since the restaurant consists of interconnected rooms,instead of being halls, for instance. There is a lot of naturallight from the Western side, with the afternoon sun lighting theplace up, and at the same time, not heating the place too much.The decor is classy, and yet, simple. We went to the place wellin time, when there was not much of a crowd. There was awelcoming red flower immersed in water on each table. We startedwith a spicy manchow soup. A veg kebab platter followed, with apiece of skewered paneer, and two veg mashes. The dal was quitenice, with a swig of white butter added on top, for effect. Thepaneer was a bit rich, but delicious, all the same. The breadbasket had naans, and missi roti. We ordered some fruit raita,which was quite fresh, and delicious. We concluded the nice mealwith some of the kulfi-faluda that the place is famous for, withchopped pistachios spread generously over the entire plate.

I really liked its cozy ambience and sitting arrangement. But they made me to wait for half an hour just for starters. They should really focus on time.Food is really delicious.

The buffet at this restaurant was excellent. The selection of items was limited but practical. The value for money was impressive. The service was also top-notch.

This restaurant is run by dedicated employees and managers who strive to provide top-notch service. It is a great place to dine and enjoy delicious local cuisine.

I visited Noor Us Sabah today and had a wonderful and delicious meal at Marmorbogen. It was the best dinner I've had in Bhopal. Pramod and his manager, Mr. Rahul, took great care of us with excellent service. A must-visit spot in Bhopal.
