Jamavar - North Indian restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

Went to Jamavar last night for Dinner. It was our team dinner, so it was a set menu. I don't have to explain about the ambience, since this restaurant is in Leela palace and the place was just beautiful. Coming to the food, I opted for the non-veg menu so first I got the Chicken soup and it was delicious. A little less in the spice levels which is a theme around all the dishes, but it wasn't a problem. For starters, we were served Tiger Prawn, Chicken Tikka, Fish fry and Mutton keema. I especially loved the Prawn and mutton keema. Main course, Chicken, mutton and fish gravies served along with dosa and Chicken Briyani. Mutton was beautifully cooked. For dessert, we got Gulab jamun, Kerala style payasam and Kesari. Everything was delicious, but the Kesari was out of this world. Overall it was a great experience and loved every food that was served and no complaints at all. The price was 3500+ taxes. Not sure if I can afford to bring my whole family for dinner, I will have to break my bank for this.

Stayed in Leela Palace and hence dined here twice for dinner. The prices are extortionate for what you get. Food was normal/average but you are spending a fortune. For that price I was expecting something mind blowing but guess not.

I was not impressed with the ambiance cos I felt the seating and the table was not too comfortable and the entire decor was not of my liking. That being said, the food was tasty and the service was excellent and quick. The quantity was sufficient and the prices were on par with other star hotels. This wasn't the best that I've eaten but the food at this restaurant was the only saving grace during my stay at Leela.

Very very delicious food and excellent service by Trishna , we felt like maharaja. I recommended for all travellers and visitors

Went to the restaurant for dinner on a Saturday night. The place was quite but near our corner table there was mosquitoes. The food itself was good, nothing to fault. Everything was made well and perfect. The subji was very good, different. The pulao was perfectly cooked. I wish there was more of rose or elachi flavor on the dessert though. It was a little plain for me.

Good setup, staff and ambience. It looks elegant and is elegant. We went for the set menu and I think it's worth a try. We went for smaller course. While the quantify is unlimited, but it's spicy so you can't eat much. Despite telling mild spicy, it was medium+. Staff is very courteous and accommodating.

Visited Jamavar at Leela Palace on Feb 5 2023 for a Sunday Brunch. Took their set menu of Non-Veg Lunch. The meal started with paani Puri and an excellent soup. This was followed by starters Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka, fish , prawn started and lamb cutlet. Fish and Prawn and Lamb cutlet were really excellent , chicken was usual nothing outstanding. This was followed by bread course which included Naan basket and Dal Tadka, Fish Curry and Butter chicken and surprisingly Kal Dosa and Malabar Parotta Dosa was a surprise and tasted fantastic, Parotta was really flaky and crisp and the gravies were really tasty. The last was a pot of Lamb Biriyani which was good too followed by dessert Desert was the only one i felt could be better. Gulab Jamun was hot and good but Phirni and Halwa was slightly low on flavour. Being last dish we expect this to be the best Overall the restaurant exceeded my expectations, service was fast and friendly , especially our waiter Aakash who gave the right suggestions and getting food for my small son Definitely worth a visit.

We had a celebration at Jamavar, which we really enjoyed. The food was really good in taste and authentic. We had mutton galauti kabab which just melted in my mouth. The mutton nihari was also awesome. The service by Subal was fantastic where he took care of us very well. They served a complementary birthday cake for my wife which was really good. Overall we really enjoyed our day at Jamavar & The Leela Palace Chennai. Thank you
