Jehan Numa Palace’s best restaurant specialises in barbecue kebabs and tandoor dishes (including vegetarian options). Most things on the menu are top-class, but the sampler platter of varied kebabs (from ₹1000) may well be the best meal you have in Madhya Pradesh.
Great food, wine, draft beer (Woodpecker, a local swill) and cocktails all combine under a romantic white pavilion and the heavy boughs of a venerable centenarian mango tree.
Take note that a couple of days a week are considered 'dry' days and alcohol isn't served.
