★★★★ RATED
This was an ethreal experience! One of the best places owned by the Taj group, the decor, ambience, quality of food and service was in keeping with a Taj expectation: truly exceptional! The impressive gate leading one to the palatial Rambagh Palace along the driveway is itself a memorable experience. The verdant greenery, chirping of the birds and the foyer punctuated by the vintage Beatle and Bentley cars and the horse drawn carriage immediately transports one to the bygone era. Once inside, the splendour of the place, from the white orchid decorated restrooms, to the massive grand mirrors alongside the corridors that leads us to the expansive grounds for the open air luncheon arena, Verandah Cafe. The comfortable chairs and the efficiency of the waiting staff puts one at much ease.
From having peacocks on the lawn, to the grounds overlooking the fort yonder, from the ceremonial evening lighting of the traditional lamps accompanied by flute playing to the performances by the local artists, we thoroughly enjoyed our expensive experience at the Rambagh Palace as each silver-plated thali cost us six thousand rupees.
Finally, considering it is a Taj hotel, the competency of the local performers could be better though, their lacklustre movements for the all time favourite, Kesariya Baalma, was rather tepid. Else, everything about Rambagh was picture perfect, with a full moon night adding to the allure of the night and to our experience here.
