Places

  1. 1.Sagar Gaire, 7 Number

    51 people recommend, 12 warn against it

    Sagar Gaire draws a large city-wide following for vegetarian fast food, especially sandwiches, paneer kulcha and cheese pasta. Recommendations across its Bhopal outlets are pooled here at the explicitly named 7 Number location, not treated as reviews of that outlet alone. The support is substantial but far from unanimous: numerous diners describe declining taste or poor value, while others still defend particular dishes. One commenter prefers 7 Number but criticises the Hoshangabad Road and Kolar outlets; another says taste varies by branch.

    7 Number

  2. 2.Ba Dastoor, Ashoka Garden

    34 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Ba Dastoor has strong support for biryani across its Bhopal outlets, represented here by the named Ashoka Garden location. Hyderabadi chicken biryani is a recurring recommendation; commenters also suggest chicken dum biryani and kebabs without always identifying an outlet. One diner specifically recommends Ashoka Garden's biryani but warns that it is spicy. The dissent includes a poor delivery experience, a complaint about value and a diner who found the biryani good rather than exceptional.

    Ashoka Garden

  3. 3.Idli and More, Arera Colony

    31 people recommend, 4 warn against it

    Idli and More draws strong city-wide support for dosas and fried idli. The Arera Colony location represents pooled Bhopal recommendations, including comments about Bawadiya and 10 Number. Several diners praise the fried idli varieties, and one singles out the ghee chilli garlic version. Dine-in service attracts criticism from two commenters who say online orders took priority. A Bawadiya visitor instead praises that outlet's service, while another diner criticises the sambhar.

    Arera Colony

  4. 4.Indian Coffee House, New Market

    29 people recommend, 4 warn against it

    Indian Coffee House is repeatedly recommended for South Indian breakfasts and Kerala-style biryani. This New Market location represents pooled opinions across its Bhopal outlets, rather than a verdict on one branch. Two commenters specifically recommend New Market for Kerala biryani, while another praises the Gulmohar outlet's dosa and sambhar. Other diners describe inconsistent taste, slipping quality or disappointing accompaniments. It is a useful breakfast-and-biryani option, but the comments do not promise the same experience at every outlet.

    New Market

  5. 5.Manohar Dairy & Restaurant, Hamidia Road

    29 people recommend, 15 warn against it

    Manohar Dairy's city-wide recommendations are represented by the named Hamidia Road location; comments that do not identify an outlet are not branch-level endorsements. Chole bhature is the main draw, with pav bhaji and lassi also recommended, and several people suggest it for breakfast. The disagreement is substantial: many diners dislike the chole bhature or question the value. One Hamidia Road visitor specifically reports smaller portions and declining quality, while other customers continue to defend the brand.

    Hamidia Road

  6. 6.Hakeem, MP Nagar

    24 people recommend

    Hakeem receives repeated non-vegetarian food recommendations across Bhopal, pooled here at the explicitly named MP Nagar outlet. Chicken tikka biryani is a recurring suggestion. MP Nagar-specific comments recommend mutton shami kebabs, mutton gravies and bhuna mutton; these should not be assumed identical across the chain. One commenter says experiences vary by branch, while another describes good and bad days. Lazeez Hakeem in Zone I is listed separately rather than treated as the same pin.

    MP Nagar

  7. 7.Sharma Vishnu, New Market

    22 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Sharma Vishnu is repeatedly recommended for vegetarian fast food, with veg biryani, noodles and paneer kulcha among the suggestions. This New Market location represents pooled Bhopal-outlet recommendations, not branch-specific guarantees about those dishes. One commenter includes New Market among favourite dosa stops, while another prefers Kolar over Sagar Gaire. Criticism includes poor value and a diner who no longer enjoys the taste. It is a familiar local choice, but not an uncontested one.

    New Market

  8. 8.Godavari

    16 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Godavari receives repeated recommendations for South Indian food, with diners particularly praising its Andhra-style flavours. One detailed account singles out uttapam, poori masala and a spicy karam dosa; another recommends the onion dosa. Two commenters praise the ambience. Two say it opens in the evening, so check current hours before planning breakfast. Value is more contested: one commenter finds it overhyped and overpriced, another calls it a little expensive, and a third questions chutney-refill charges.

    Godavari– The Legacy of Telugu Cuisine, Plot No. 9 New, Friends Colony, Bagmugaliya, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462043, India

  9. 9.Rajhans Regent, ISBT

    16 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Rajhans receives repeated vegetarian-meal recommendations, represented here by the explicitly named Regent hotel at ISBT. City-wide suggestions are pooled with ISBT-specific experiences rather than assigned to this outlet alone. Several people recommend the thali, one diner compares it to home cooking, and an ISBT visitor says repeated visits have not disappointed. Two commenters disagree, describing the thali or restaurant poorly. Another describes the ISBT meals as a matter of luck, so the positive consensus still has caveats.

    ISBT

  10. 10.Lazeez Hakeem, MP Nagar

    14 people recommend

    Lazeez Hakeem in MP Nagar receives strong non-vegetarian food recommendations. Butter chicken recurs, with one diner calling it their personal favourite after trying versions in other cities. Individual suggestions also include egg tawa masala, tandoori chicken and tawa mutton or chicken. One commenter describes it as a little expensive but very good for a meal or starters. This is the Zone I restaurant, distinct from the separately listed Hakeem outlet in Zone II.

    MP Nagar

  11. 11.Sambhar Cafe, MP Nagar

    14 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Sambhar Cafe draws repeated South Indian food recommendations, including MP Nagar-specific praise. This location represents pooled Bhopal recommendations, with another comment also naming Lalghati and Jiwana. One diner recommends the ghee podi masala dosa, and another suggests its Sunday South Indian meals. Two commenters describe it as relatively affordable, and one includes it among favourite breakfast stops. The verdict is positive rather than unanimous: one diner explicitly says the food was not good.

    MP Nagar

  12. 12.Shri Prasadam, MP Nagar

    13 people recommend

    Shri Prasadam is repeatedly recommended for South Indian food, with MP Nagar explicitly named in several comments. This location represents pooled Bhopal recommendations, including a Chunabhatti suggestion. One MP Nagar diner praises the uttapam; other individual picks include dosa, thatte and parotta korma. The praise is not universal: one diner finds much of the food ordinary apart from the parotta korma, and another likes the dosas but not the filter coffee. A comparative ranking places it below Idli and More and Godavari.

    MP Nagar

  13. 13.Khan Sahab, Hamidia Road

    11 people recommend

    Khan Sahab receives repeated non-vegetarian food recommendations, with Hamidia Road and the old-city Model Ground area explicitly named. Individual suggestions include tandoori chicken biryani and chicken changezi. A Hamidia Road recommendation also singles out tandoori chicken and tikka. The comments favour it as a broader meal option rather than only a biryani stop; one diner urges exploring more than a single dish. No specific dish should be read as universally praised by every recommender.

    Hamidia Road

  14. 14.Sankalp, Bansal One

    11 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Sankalp's South Indian food recommendations are pooled across Bhopal at the explicitly named Bansal One outlet. One diner praises the sambhar and dine-in service while only cautiously defending the higher prices. Another recommends the dosas but says the chutney praise comes from earlier visits. A commenter had a poor experience at RKMP and did not return. These are city-wide opinions, not promises about every outlet.

    Bansal One

  15. 15.Oliver, 10 Number

    11 people recommend, 3 warn against it

    Oliver in the 10 Number area attracts recommendations for its pizzas and vegetarian or vegan options, but food opinions are divided. Two commenters recommend the pizzas; individual suggestions also include pull-apart garlic bread and sushi or dimsum. The ambience also draws praise. Three distinct commenters criticise the food, and another finds it only decent. More recommend it than warn against it, without agreeing on the taste.

    10 Number Market

  16. 16.Under the Mango Tree, Jehan Numa Palace

    10 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Under the Mango Tree at Jehan Numa Palace is repeatedly suggested for dinner and fine dining. One commenter recommends it for a first dinner date, and another includes it among birthday-dining choices. Two diners praise the ambience, but appealing surroundings do not mean everyone likes the food: one describes a costly meal with disappointing taste, while another found it very bland. It suits consideration for an occasion, with the food disagreement kept in view.

    Jehan Numa Palace

  17. 17.Veera Di Hatti, Bittan Market

    10 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Veera Di Hatti receives repeated recommendations for non-vegetarian food, with the Bittan Market location explicitly named. Individual picks include chicken bhuna, chicken khichda and butter chicken; one commenter also recommends it for vegetarian dishes if a mixed kitchen is acceptable. Two people criticise the food or hype, and another likes the taste but considers it overpriced. It is worth comparing for a meat-focused meal, not assuming that every dish or visit wins the same approval.

    Bittan Market

  18. 18.Taj Lakefront

    8 people recommend

    Taj Lakefront receives repeated recommendations for hotel dining, including buffets, brunch and celebrations. The hotel location represents these dining suggestions collectively, not one named restaurant or rooftop. One diner prefers its buffet to Radisson's Fusion Cafe, while another says the view makes a visit worthwhile. Two less enthusiastic comments describe the taste as merely so-so or potentially not for everyone. The comments support considering the hotel for an occasion without claiming every dining venue offers the same experience.

    Ground Floor, Taj Lakefront, Bhopal, Main Road, Chouraha, Prempura, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462003, India

  19. 19.Giant Panda, DB Mall

    8 people recommend

    Giant Panda at DB Mall is repeatedly suggested for Chinese food. Three commenters describe its Chinese or Asian food as authentic; one of them particularly praises the thukpa and dumplings. Another diner recommends Singapore noodles and dimsum while noting that it is not a cheap option. A contrasting visit found the Manchurian too salty. It has a positive following, with specific dish praise attributed to the people who offered it rather than presented as a universal verdict.

    DB City Mall

  20. 20.Rice Bowl, Mansarovar Complex

    8 people recommend

    Rice Bowl at Mansarovar Complex receives repeated recommendations for Chinese food, with two commenters also suggesting Thai dishes. One diner calls it a personal favourite, another describes the Chinese food as excellent, and another commenter enjoys its Chinese food. One mixed account finds the taste decent without offering an enthusiastic endorsement.

    Mansarovar Complex

  21. 21.Taste of India, MP Nagar

    8 people recommend

    Taste of India in MP Nagar receives repeated vegetarian-restaurant recommendations. One diner includes it among regular family-outing choices, another finds it decent, and a third recommends it for Indian food. A separate suggestion names it when discussing South Indian options. These are broad meal recommendations rather than a consensus on one signature dish. One commenter is unsure whether it is fully vegetarian, so diners with strict requirements should confirm the current menu.

    MP Nagar

  22. 22.Countryside Meadows, Kerwa Dam

    8 people recommend

    Countryside Meadows on Kerwa Dam Road is repeatedly recommended for vegetarian meals and family outings. Two commenters praise its ambience, and several describe the food positively. One diner singles out paneer sushi as a personal recommendation. A mixed account still likes the food but warns about slow service. This is the Kerwa Dam Road restaurant; generic references to a Countryside lounge on Indore Road are not treated as evidence for it.

    Kerwa Dam

  23. 23.Amado

    8 people recommend

    Amado is a food-led cafe option with repeated recommendations for pizza. Two commenters specifically suggest wood-oven pizzas, while another enjoyed the pizza but found the place expensive. One diner singles out the makhni sauce pasta, and another likes the food and coffee. The meal recommendations, rather than coffee or decorative appeal alone, are the reason to consider it here.

    2nd floor, CAFE AMADO, E-2/ 69, E-2, Arera Colony, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462016, India

  24. 24.La Kuchina, Jehan Numa

    8 people recommend

    La Kuchina at Jehan Numa Palace is repeatedly recommended for Italian or continental food. One diner particularly recommends the aglio olio, while another says the food has been good on visits when the restaurant was mostly empty. Separate suggestions name it for a date and for birthday dining. A further commenter suggests it only when the dining budget is high. The support is broad, though detailed dish recommendations are limited rather than a long menu-wide consensus.

    Jehan Numa

  25. 25.Jaffa, 10 Number Market

    8 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Jaffa at 10 Number Market receives repeated shawarma recommendations, with some diners especially enthusiastic about the taste. One commenter singles out the accompanying dip. The reservations are concrete: two people question value or portion size, and another found the chicken chewy. A separate commenter considers the shawarma merely okay. It remains a popular established eatery, but the positive recommendations should not hide the disagreement over texture and value.

    10 Number Market

  26. 26.Bake n Shake, MP Nagar

    7 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Bake n Shake's Bhopal meal recommendations are pooled here at its MP Nagar location, which is suggested in a request for MP Nagar dining. Individual picks include chicken makhani kulcha, smoked chicken focaccia sandwich and chicken tikka pizza. One diner likes the ambience, and another recommends the lemon chicken. The dissent is less enthusiastic: one commenter rejects a best-restaurant award for it, while another argues such awards mostly measure popularity. These are food recommendations across the brand, not outlet-specific claims about every dish.

    MP Nagar

  27. 27.Twist of Tadka, Hoshangabad Road

    7 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Twist of Tadka on Hoshangabad Road receives repeated vegetarian and family-meal recommendations. One diner says nearly every dish is good; another, after several visits, ranks it among their personal favourite Indian-food choices in Bhopal. That praise is contested by a diner who found the rotis rubbery and did not enjoy the meal. The location near Aashima is specifically suggested by another commenter, making it a useful local option rather than an unquestioned city-wide winner.

    Hoshangabad Road

  28. 28.Mantar, Bawadia Kalan

    7 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    Mantar in Bawadia Kalan receives positive food and family-dining recommendations, but service is a recurring concern. Family-meal suggestions sit alongside several reports of slow ordering or preparation. One family says they left after a long wait without receiving drinks. Two other diners find the food bland or merely average. The comments disagree about taste and promptness despite the positive majority.

    Bawadia Kalan

  29. 29.Romeo Lane, Bansal One Building

    6 people recommend

    Romeo Lane at Bansal One receives recommendations for a date meal and continental or Italian food. One visitor found the food expensive but very tasty; another liked the ambience while warning that service could be slow. A different commenter describes the setting as classy. One person complains about small portions, though their later comment recommends it for birthday dinner. The broad view is positive, with value and service worth weighing against the atmosphere.

    Bansal One

  30. 30.Meenu's Dosa, Minal Residency

    6 people recommend

    Meenu's Dosa receives South Indian food recommendations across Bhopal, represented here by the explicitly named Minal Residency outlet. Two commenters recommend a ghee-roast dosa at Minal, and another says that outlet is good. One detailed Minal account also praises the vegetable upma, sambhar and chutney while specifically distinguishing it from MP Nagar. A comparative ranking places the brand behind Idli and More and Godavari. The location matters: these recommendations should not be transferred indiscriminately between outlets.

    Minal Residency

  31. 31.Flying Wings, 10 Number Market

    6 people recommend

    Flying Wings at 10 Number Market is repeatedly suggested for chicken snacks rather than a full main-course meal. One commenter likes the chicken wings and variety; another recommends chicken fries and cheesy items. A further diner really likes it while noting that it sits in a different price bracket from the alternatives being discussed. The recommendations suit a snack stop rather than a full dinner.

    10 Number Market

  32. 32.Under the Jamun Tree, Jehan Numa Retreat

    6 people recommend

    Under the Jamun Tree at Jehan Numa Retreat receives repeated recommendations for Indian food. One commenter considers it a family restaurant, another suggests it for vegetarian biryani, and a separate diner includes it among favourite Indian non-vegetarian options. A birthday-dining suggestion describes a separate candlelight setup, but that is one person's account rather than a guaranteed current service. The comments identify this restaurant specifically, not every dining option at the retreat.

    Jehan Numa Retreat

  33. 33.Afghan Hotel

    6 people recommend

    Afghan Hotel's Bhopal recommendations are pooled here at the explicitly named Shaheed Nagar location. One commenter calls that outlet a favourite non-vegetarian option. Two other comments name Jail Road, including a nihari recommendation, while a different suggestion mentions kebabs and tikka without establishing that they belong to the Shaheed Nagar menu. Another diner finds the brand's old-city food good value. The location labels matter: dish suggestions for one outlet are not promises about this one.

    Afghan Hotel, nadra complex, Karbala Rd, Shaheed Nagar, Shahid Nagar Colony, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462001, India

  34. 34.Pirates of Grill, DB Mall

    6 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Pirates of Grill at DB Mall receives repeated buffet recommendations, including a lunch suggestion. One commenter calls it good value and another says it has become their preferred buffet. The criticism comes from different people: one still finds it somewhat worthwhile but says it has declined, while another considers it a waste of money and would not recommend it. It is a positive-majority buffet choice, not a unanimous recommendation.

    DB City Mall

  35. 35.Angithi, Gammon Mall

    5 people recommend

    Angithi's Bhopal food recommendations are represented here by the explicitly named Gammon Mall location. One commenter calls that outlet underrated, and another recommends its tawa paneer masala. A separate city-wide suggestion names butter chicken. Other comments refer to Minal or TT Nagar, so those experiences are not silently assigned to the Gammon Mall outlet. The evidence favours considering the brand for a meal, with branch distinctions kept visible.

    Gammon Mall

  36. 36.Burger Bar

    5 people recommend

    Burger Bar receives a small but clear set of burger recommendations, including one commenter who calls the burgers excellent and another who singles out the fried chicken burger. Other diners include it among their burger picks, with one locating it near Bittan Market. Most suggestions are brief rather than detailed meal reports, so the support is useful without implying menu-wide consensus.

    Burger Bar, CS-5, Mannipuram, Char Imli, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462016, India

  37. 37.South Tak

    5 people recommend

    South Tak receives repeated South Indian food suggestions, especially for dosa. One earlier visitor remembers crisp dosas with tasty filling but explicitly says it has been a long time since their visit. Another prefers it to Sagar Ratna for South Indian food. A separate location comment places South Tak near St Joseph school, matching the 10 Number-area pin. The recommendations are mostly brief, so the older detailed account should not be read as a guarantee of current consistency.

    South Tak, Infront of Books N Books, E-7/163, near 10 No. market, near St. Joseph Co-ed School, E-7, Arera Colony, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462016, India

  38. 38.Ming Dynasty

    5 people recommend

    Ming Dynasty in Kohefiza receives repeated Chinese-food recommendations. Three distinct commenters praise the food and view, including one who describes the lake setting as particularly enjoyable in rain. One of those diners also considers it underrated. A separate suggestion includes it among Chinese options when asked about vegetarian and non-vegetarian family restaurants. The attraction is the combination of food recommendations and setting.

    7989+P56 Ming Dynasty, Kohefiza, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462001, India

  39. 39.Malayali Cafe, Karond

    5 people recommend

    Malayali Cafe in Karond is repeatedly suggested for Kerala food. One diner includes it among the best Kerala-style meals they have had in Bhopal, and another describes some dishes as wonderful. A further recommendation singles out buff and porotta as a personal favourite. It has a small but positive following, with the dish-level praise coming from individual diners.

    Karond

  40. 40.Biryani By Kilo

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Biryani By Kilo receives five independent positive recommendations in this Bhopal pool. One diner likes the Lucknowi chicken and vegetarian chana-dry-fruit biryanis; another favours the Malamal biryani after trying other local options. A third describes the taste as balanced and the quantity decent. Two commenters find it only okay or question the value, and another rejects the suggestion outright. These are brand-level Bhopal opinions, not evidence that every order or dish performs the same way.

    Biryani By Kilo - Bhopal, Commercial Ground Floor G2 & G3, Plot No. R44 Kishan Arcade, Zone-I, Maharana Pratap Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462011, India

  41. 41.Boscos, DB City Mall

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Boscos at DB Mall receives recommendations for continental or Mediterranean food and for a date meal. One repeat commenter praises the ambience but also warns that loud music disrupted a date; those views come from the same person, not several independent diners. Another diner reports a good experience and says it is usually mostly empty. A pizza discussion also includes a positive suggestion. The support is positive overall, but an uncrowded room does not establish that it will be quiet.

    DB City Mall

  42. 42.Ranjeet Lakeview

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Ranjeet Lakeview receives repeated non-vegetarian meal recommendations, including suggestions in butter-chicken discussions. Individual recommendations also include biryani, starters and mutton curries. One commenter explicitly calls it a good non-vegetarian option; another finds the taste only so-so. This is the Lakeview hotel on Van Vihar Road, not the separately discussed Ranjeet properties in other parts of Bhopal.

    Hotel Ranjit’s Lakeview, Van Vihar Road, Shymala Hills, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462002, India

  43. 43.Shakti Dosa, Sonagiri

    5 people recommend, 1 warns against it

    Shakti Dosa, also named as Shakti South Indian, receives repeated dosa and South Indian food recommendations. This Sonagiri location is near Piplani, which two comments identify; a separate commenter describes it as well known around Indrapuri. That same person praises the dosa and value. One commenter dislikes the dosa, so it is a positive-majority local suggestion rather than a unanimous favourite.

    Sonagiri
