A Sumptuous Dining Experience at Sky 360, The Maple – Bhopal’s First Rotating Fine Dining Place
Bhopal’s culinary scene has been elevated with Sky 360, The Maple, a unique fine-dining restaurant that offers not just a meal but an experience. Located on the 7th floor, this one-of-a-kind rotating restaurant provides breathtaking panoramic views of the city, complemented by a lush green rooftop garden that adds a touch of serenity to the ambience.
Ambience & Interiors
The moment you step into The Maple, you are welcomed by state-of-the-art interiors that exude elegance. The soothing and warm lighting sets the perfect mood for a relaxed dining experience. The seating is plush and comfortable, making it ideal for a long, leisurely meal with family or friends. The soft music of 90s playing in the background enhances the fine-dining vibe, making the experience even more delightful.
Culinary Delights – A Gastronomic Journey
The menu at The Maple is thoughtfully curated, offering a mix of Indian, Continental and Oriental cuisines. Here’s my take on the dishes I ordered:
Hariyali Paneer Tikka – A well-executed dish with fresh, soft paneer marinated in a mild yet flavorful green herb mix. The cheese filling inside added a delightful creaminess. Verdict: Excellent recipe!
Garlic Noodles – This was the star dish of the evening! The smoky Oriental flavor, combined with the rich aroma of garlic, made it an absolute delight. The noodles were well-cooked and had the perfect texture. Verdict: Best recipe of the day!
Paneer Lababdar – A classic preparation with a rich, creamy, and mildly spiced gravy. While the flavors were good, the dish didn’t stand out as extraordinary. However, I appreciated that the oil was well-balanced, making it a lighter option compared to other gravies. Verdict: Good for a one-time try.
Amritsari Dal Makhani – This dish was a showstopper! The perfect balance of ginger, garlic, cream, and spices made it one of the finest Dal Makhani preparations in Bhopal. The slow-cooked texture and deep, rich flavors made it a must-try for any dal lover. Verdict: Highly recommended!
Garlic Naan – Soft, well-made, and packed with flavor. Verdict: Good.
Lachha Paratha – Perfectly layered and flaky, just the way a good lachha paratha should be. Verdict: Well-made!
Missi Roti – The best in town! What made it special was the vibrant flavor of ajwain, which elevated the taste. Verdict: Must-try!
Jeera Rice – Fresh and flavorful with a subtle aroma of cumin. The only drawback was that it could have had a bit more coriander for added freshness. Verdict: Still a good choice.
Chocolate Shake – Unfortunately, this was underwhelming. It lacked the richness of chocolate and could have used more cream and chocolate syrup to enhance the experience. Verdict: Needs improvement.
Service & Overall Experience
The service was courteous and prompt, but one area that needs improvement is the availability of finger bowls instead of just wet wipes. A fine dining place like The Maple should pay attention to such small yet significant details.
Final Verdict
The Maple is a must-visit for food lovers in Bhopal, not just for its unique rotating experience but also for its well-prepared dishes. With a spectacular ambience, comfortable seating, and a well-balanced menu, it is an excellent choice for a special dining experience. Highly recommended, especially for the Dal Makhani, Garlic Noodles,...

We started with Veg Kebabs Platter (includes Beetroot kebabs, Harabara kebabs Dahi ke kebabs, paneer tikka and Grilled pineapple , which were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. For the main course, we had Anjeer kofta gravy with garlic naan. At night they offer Buffet also.Till now they are serving VEGETARIAN FOOD ONLY (a bit disappointed but it was told to us that nonveg food is going to start in future) Value: While it's certainly a premium dining experience, the prices are justified by the quality of the food, the exceptional service, and the views.

From the moment I stepped into the revolving restaurant perched atop the 7th floor, I knew I was in for something special — but what unfolded far exceeded my expectations. The combination of panoramic views, impeccable ambiance, and world-class hospitality created an unforgettable evening.
The revolving concept added a magical charm to the dining experience — every moment brought a new perspective of the skyline, making it feel like a journey as much as a meal. The decor was tasteful, and the atmosphere was both luxurious and welcoming.
What truly set this evening apart, however, was the outstanding hospitality. The staff went above and beyond with genuine warmth and attention to detail. Every gesture — from the gracious greetings to the perfectly timed service — made me feel like a truly valued guest.
The food was equally spectacular. Each dish was a celebration of flavors, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. It was clear that the culinary team puts their heart into every creation.
In a world where hospitality often feels rushed or routine, this restaurant stands as a shining example of how memorable and meaningful a dining experience can be when done with heart, passion, and pride.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team specially Ms Sapna & Ms Chandani for an unforgettable evening. I will most certainly return — and enthusiastically recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a dining experience that goes far beyond the ordinary. Thanking...
