Majestic is one word for the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi. Emperor lounge is a beautiful cafe with big windows and lovely green views on the ground floor. The cafe has a detailed menu of teas, coffees, fusions and snacks. The nomenclature is such that tells you the source. For example, ‘Wayanad’ is the name of the coffee because the coffee beans are sourced from Wayanad, Kerala. A good place with a feel good factor and the staff pampers you with world class hospitality. We were served the coffee with cookies that had eggs. We don’t eat eggs so he changed it to eggless. Best part was he was proactive in sharing that cookies are with egg and was sweet to change it to eggless. We ordered a frappe (cold) and a Jamaican Blue Mountain hot coffee. Frappe - 6/10 Jamaican - 7/10

I recently dined at Govindas International restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed throughout our visit. The menu offers a great variety, and everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend the grilled salmon, which was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The seasonal pasta dish was also a highlight, bursting with fresh flavors. Overall, Govindas International Restaurant combines excellent food with a lovely atmosphere. I can’t wait to return!

It's a great place for high tea or evening coffee. The area overlooks the swimming pool on one side and a beautiful white marbled staircase with latticed handrail and a fountain. The ambience is cosy with warm coloured upholstered furniture matching the walls. And the cutlery with delicate floral patterns adds to the rich experience. They have a wide variety of rich tea and coffee. Their aged Indian monsoon malabar coffee is my favourite!
