Once Upon A Time At The Bagh

Very very very very very slow service. From walking in to being seated to ordering our food to food prep for more than 40 minutes I was shocked at the slowness of the place. It was not busy about three tables had under 10 guests. There is really no excuse that could help me understand how a starter and pizza took almost an hour! The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant. The servers were polite and professional. The cost is astronomical…maybe they charge by the minute? 200 rupees for a bottle of water and we were charged even though we never opened it! If you’re going be ready to wait and pay for the time!

I visited Bagan with my brother, and it was a delightful experience. The place is very nice, with a peaceful and elegant ambiance. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was polite and attentive, making our visit even better. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy great food and spend quality time with loved ones.

It’s a highly picturesque place with all that natural charm of hills surrounding it. After the rains all those hills were lush green and looked so calming. The seating of this place is excellent. The whole area is very tastefully done up and since it’s a historical landmark converted into a restaurant, so all the more impressive. Food , whatever we ordered, was upto the mark. Service was quick. In the daytime place wasn’t crowded at all, the solitude felt great. I recommend people visiting Jaipur to check out the place for sure. Worth more than a visit.

My visit to Once Upon a Time at the Bagh was an interesting and largely enjoyable experience. The ambiance is truly the star of the show here. Dining in a setting that feels like a beautifully curated garden, complete with tasteful lighting and lush greenery, creates a magical and serene atmosphere. Overall, it's a beautiful restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. It's a great choice for a special occasion where the setting is as important as the meal.

The food is atrocious and the service is thoroughly underwhelming, but the place is pretty. We assumed the interior designer is also the chef because nothing else can explain the amateur hour nonsense we were served. Whoever died and left this palace to the proprietors would be appalled at what their kitchen is being misused for. I was left wondering if this restaurant is an elaborate social experiment to see how much money white people will willingly hand over as reparations for colonialism. Each and every item we ordered was consistently awful, except for our lemonade and only because they forget to actually give it to us. This was largely indicative of the service quality also since the staff was disinterested in waiting on anyone. Can't blame them though, because I'd be depressed too if I had to eat this food every day. Our jal mahal kadhai vegetables tasted like capcisum salad and nothing else. The Lal maas was a crime against the memory of the goat that went into it. Old, overcooked meat, no spice, not enough salt, even the garlic was an afterthought. Our butter roti was stiff, served cold and had a tiny dab of butter smeared on it. This travesty of a meal set me back by 3800. If you have 3800 to spare, I beg you to burn it for warmth and you'll walk away with a better value for the money than spending it at this tragic joke of a restaurant.

The experience started well with a flavorful soup, but it all went downhill from there. On the manager Rohit’s recommendation, we ordered the Paneer Kankar Kebab (vegetarian). Unfortunately, it was served cold and tasted quite ordinary. The garlic bread that followed was one of the worst I’ve ever had. Our appetite was gone by then, but we still decided to try the mutton biryani another ow average dish served with dirty dhaba-style raita. The only redeeming part of the evening was the ambience, the location which truly felt 5-star. The food, however, deserves -1 star. To make matters worse, Manager Rohit deceitfully took my phone under the pretext of taking a payment screenshot and used it to give the restaurant a fake 5-star rating😭😭😭. Prices are sky-high for the quality offered. Overall, a very disappointing experience👎🏻

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was definitely a right choice. The ambience, the food, the service and the music everything was awesome. Mr. Dashrath was our assigned service provider and he was the best. He made us feel like home. Thank you. The place is magical and I will definitely visit again and again 😊

Ambiance: 1. Great, Quiet and peaceful Place to sit & eat. 2. Can enjoy the view of mountains from both sides. Food: 1. Ordered "Paneer Ke Sholay" but got "Paneer Tikka" instead 2. Taste - 5/5 Presentation - 0/5
