The Oberoi Amarvilas itself is an experience in itself while you are here in Agra. The finest hotel in the city with the most magnificent views of the Taj right across from the hotel The speciality restaurant here that serves North Indian food would perhaps be better than any Michelin Star restaurant that you may have eaten it For one it’s the slow music that’s playing for you abc it is the traditional Santoor that playing out for you that sets the tone Each table is set like a perfect setting with the crockery, cutlery, flowers that are pretty much deserving of that 6 star that I cannot give With the most exquisite selection of drinks, winners and more you can start your meal with the traditional starters that they would recommend For someone who is a foodie I would recommend the chefs special of the small plates that’s got a hint of fusion in every Indian dish, so be it the salad or even the stuffed paneer starter that’s filled with all the aromatic flavours and tastes Each dish is very well presented that makes so much for the difference Don’t miss the traditional flavour of pickles, papad, chutneys and more on the side There is no concept of a main dish in this preset menu and it’s going to totally linger your senses For someone who is hungry like my friends the Thali is a great treat and it’s wholesome and is a visual treat too And if that’s not all, the deserts are going to also stir you right from the Gulab Jamun, Agra petha, Ras malai, chocolate fondue and more They will have rose petal hand wash done traditional style as you finish! While in Agra not eating here is quite a waste!

Whatever I say about this find dine experience will not make justice to how good the food tasted, how amazing the ambience was and how well we were treated by the staff. We went for the non veg chef’s platter and were nothing but extremely happy with it. Shoutout to chef Saurabh. What food. Worth every penny. Must must must visit. For special occasions and otherwise.

Amarvilas has its definite royal and rich feel. And the same reflects in the food they have to offer. Delicious food with a royal presentation makes you enjoy the aura and ambience around. The quality of ingredients used is super and above expectation. Truly a rich experience.

Date of visit - 11/12/2017. 9 pm Me and my girlfriend visited the Esphahan restaurant to finish our Agra trip on a high note. We ordered the Non vegetarian Thali so we could try out a number of items from the menu. The atmosphere was nice with live music playing. But, unfortunately that was the only good part of our experience, other than the cup of tomato and coriander soup we had to start our dinner. We got our assorted starters which included lamb kebab with stuffed prunes. It tasted ok, and by the time I finished eating it my girlfriend found a piece of hair in her lamb. I was really disgusted by it also the fact bothered me that I already ate mine. The chef came out and apologized to us, and we didn’t want to make a scene out of it either hence accepted the apology. Her meal was replaced by another one. The rest of the food was ok, we had better Indian food in a lot of places. I wouldn’t have made a big deal but now me and my gf both are suffering from food poisoning and diarrhoea. This is absolutely horrendous that we pay about ₹ 6600 for food which tasted ok and get food poisoning as an extra flavour. Very poor quality of hygiene and cleanliness.... I am overly disappointed and terribly disgusted.

A complete shame in the name of Oberoi Group!!!! I actually felt like being in the era of British Raj wherein Indians were belittled but that was at least by the Britishers but here it was the fellow Indians!! Overrated food with pathetic taste!complete nightmare in the name of hospitality! We have  penchant for visiting 5 star properties now n then...i have never come across such horrible waiter n waitress with fake smile n so ill mannered!   GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU WANNA EXPERIENCE HOW INDIANS WERE ILL TREATED DURING BRITISH RAJ!!

Overrated , overpriced and bad service. Racial profiling by waiters. Food was not that great for that price. The taste was ordinary and portions were small. Desserts- rashmalai was average. Portion was alright.
