Best F&B Hotel: Leela Palace

When the Leela Palace opened, none of us expected very much in F&B terms. We had experienced the Leela’s brand of F&B before: at the Leela in Gurgaon. And it was fine, very good even, but hardly exceptional. Then the hotel’s opening was completely overshadowed by the triumphant debut of the spectacular Oberoi in Gurgaon.
But the Leela has surprised us all. Despite a rocky start (the general manager went in the first week, which may have been a good thing because Tamir Kobrin then took over), the hotel has set new standards for hospitality. Megu is glamorous and glitzy. Le Cirque is elegant and classy. Jamavar has the best Malayali food among Delhi’s hotels and Qube has a great menu and a tranquil ambience.
