Delicious food and outstanding service Risala is located within the Umaid Bhawan Palace. Every staff member at the restaurant is welcoming and always wanting to ensure the stay is meeting guest needs. Umaid Bhawan serves high tea daily for guests at Risala. It is a fantastic time to sit with family and enjoy delicious snacks with fresh tea/coffee. When we stayed at the Royal Palace, they served us local delicacies including fritters, scones and bite sized cakes.The presentation of the Thali we ordered was just grand(I do not want to reveal the surprise) and the dessert portion was yummy with several choices.
The staff here are very dedicated and provide impeccable service. Their attention to details simply standout. A big thank you to Boom/Virendra for their warm, personalized and thoughtful service.

We absolutely LOVED the overall hospitality, ambience, food, drinks and the whole EXPERIENCE. Risala by Taj is thus HIGHLY...
Read moreNever Ever I imagined that a palace Umaid Bhavan tured hotel's restaurant RISALA will followed the British practice of discrimination especially a property that is managed by Taj group in India when the first hotel of Taj was built on the foundation where Indians are always welcomed. I called to book a slot for Maharaja Afternoon tea , the lady on the call responded that no slot is available today so I asked if on 30th August its possible then she asked it is for lunch? , I mentioned no, just for Afternoon tea, the lady in her polite voice asked do you have a room booking, i said no then she clearly mentioned that ONLY IN-HOUSE GUESTS CAN ENJOY THIS AFTERNOON TEA.
