The Balancing Rock is a fascinating natural formation where a huge stone appears to balance effortlessly on the tip of another. It's an interesting geological curiosity and makes for a good photo stop. However, reaching the site is a bit challenging—the location isn't well-marked, and navigation can be confusing for first-time visitors. There's minimal signage, and the surrounding area is not very well maintained. While it's close to the Madan Mahal Fort, which adds some historical value to the visit, the site itself lacks proper infrastructure or tourist-friendly facilities. Best to visit if you're already in the area, especially as part of a combined trip with other attractions in Jabalpur like Marble Rocks, Dhuandhar Falls, and Bhedaghat.

Balancing Rock at Jabalpur is a wonder and is one of the must visit places on your trip to Jabalpur. It’s located near the Madan Mahal Fort which just up the road. Reaching the site in private vehicle is best advised. Reaching to the site is a bit difficult as the location isn't well-marked and signages are also less for first-time visitors. It’s a small site. The surrounding area is not very well maintained, and one can find litter inside the premise also. One is mesmerized by the sight of a huge rock standing still and balancing itself on another rock since a long time ago. Balancing Rock has withstood the ravages of time and has stood strong even during earthquakes. One can also visit the visit Rani Durgawati Fort (also known as Madan Mahal Fort) which is nearby.

Balancing Rock, Jabalpur What is it? The Balancing Rock in Jabalpur is a remarkable natural geological formation. One large boulder appears to precariously balance on a much smaller base rock — giving the impression that it defies gravity. Some key points: It is located near Madan Mahal Fort in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The rock has survived significant earthquakes (including one estimated at magnitude ~6.5) and erosion over many years. According to one source the contact area between the two rocks may be as little as six square inches. Location & How to Get There Address: 4WX3+9XF, Ratan Nagar, Madan Mahal, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh 482001, India. Nearest landmarks: It’s very close to Madan Mahal Fort, making it easy to combine in one outing. Getting there: From Jabalpur city centre you can reach via taxi, auto-rickshaw or your own vehicle. The site is open to public year-round. Some sources say open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entry is free. When to Visit & Practical Tips Best time: The cooler months (October to February) are more comfortable for visiting. Light for photos: Early morning or late afternoon offers better lighting and fewer crowds. Footwear & terrain: The approach involves rocky terrain; wear comfortable shoes with good grip. Maintenance & signage: Note that while the spot is interesting, infrastructure and signage are somewhat limited. Some visitors note the surroundings could be better maintained. Why Visit? It’s a geological marvel — seeing a huge rock seemingly balancing on another is quite the visual treat. Great for photography — captures the interplay of nature, rock formations and an unusual scene. Easy to include as part of a broader Jabalpur sightseeing: since it’s near Madan Mahal Fort, you can combine both. What to Expect The visit may only take 10-20 minutes, as the actual spot is small. It’s more of a “stop-by” attraction rather than a full day outing (unless paired with other sites). There are some basic facilities/parking but don’t expect a full tourist complex.

It is also a must visit place during one's visit to Jabalpur and Bhedaghat. One can witness the diversity in science. It's simply the matter of gravitational force. But anyone may think deeply regarding the science behind it.

It looks like art of god. Not a very big or crowded place. Would take much time. It's just road side. Average cleanliness, can improve this place further with more information board, development of better inside infrastructure, passages. Overall a place to go one time and get the picture clicked:).

The Balancing Rock of Jabalpur is a must-visit for curious travelers, nature lovers, photographers, and geology enthusiasts. It's a free and fascinating roadside marvel that combines simplicity with one of nature’s most curious formations. Though there are no guided explanations on-site, its natural allure and the surrounding region’s attractions make it well worth your time. The formation is believed to be an erosional remnant of volcanic rock. Despite tremors- including a magnitude 6.2 earthquake in Jabalpur in May 1997- it hasn’t shifted from its position . Scientists conclude the rock balances due to natural gravitational forces and erosion over millennia .

Balancing Rock is not that famous among tourists only enthusiastic tourists visit this place. Overall it's a good quick tourist spot which covers within 5 mins. Before going to Madan Mahal Fort. People came here for morning walk like activities.

Good to visit to see sculptures of 11-12 th century in closer room. Need more description about sculptures for people to understand better. It seems less people are visiting the museum. Foreigners can visit as the sculptures are kept in rooms with fans without issue of sun exposure. Coin collection is also there

A magnificent collection of ancient sculptures can be seen here, Coins collections and Tribes history as well!! Ticket price : 20

It is a good place to visit for those who really like the museum and keen to learn about historical things and places. There are lots of idols mainly of the 10th and 11th century. There are old coins also which were used during different dynasties. I like this place very much and visit it as I get time. One must visit and specially students would get knowledge of our history from here.

It was very astonishing place to visit who loves to know about the historical sculptures & arts. Unfortunately I couldn't spend much time, hardly I could spend 10 minutes but it is really time taking who really wants to see the deep artistic culture of India. It takes minimum 30-40 minutes to visit properly.

Beautifully Maintained Place with proper information. No waiting required and only ₹20(only cash) ticket🎟 per person and plenty of Car and two wheeler parking available. The staff is friendly and got to see many sculptures, antiques, copper plates, seals and coins of Kalchuri Era and Kalchuri King Karndev and Vijaysinhdev 👑.

A great place to explore the rich history and heritage of Madhya Pradesh. The museum has a good collection of sculptures, weapons, paintings, and tribal art. Entry fee is low and it's worth a visit if you love history. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A beautiful place to visit in jabalpur, My son and I visited the place for our morning walk. The weather was really great, I visited the Dumna nature reserves for the first time even though I have been staying in Jabalpur for a long time. The coffee house at the entry makes the walk complete by serving a great coffee after the walk

Beautiful trail amidst the city. Went for an evening walk and the park is well maintained, easily accessible & very reasonable to visit. Nestled away from the hustle bustle of city, & the best part is the lake. So peaceful, perfect for a walk, picnic spot or even just spend some quality time. There is a cycle trail too, games for kids & very peaceful atmosphere. Must must visit in Jabalpur.

Dumna Nature Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend time in Jabalpur. The greenery, calm atmosphere, and natural surroundings make it perfect for relaxation as well as enjoying with family and friends. It’s a great spot for morning walks, picnics, and bird watching. The lake and forest area add to its charm

People at the entrance were kind and helpful... Nice place to visit during the monsoon season.. i heard there are many crocodile inside the lake but couldn't find.unlucky.. there is plenty of options to have fun if you visit during monsoon season.. now in hot summer its a bad choice to visit...

Dumna Nature Reserve Park, located just 10 km from Jabalpur city, is a tranquil eco-tourism destination that seamlessly blends natural beauty with recreational activities. Spanning over 1,800 acres of dry deciduous forest, the park offers a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and families alike (park includes cycling timing 6 am to 11 am,100rs for cycle and 50rs for personal cycle and 100rs for guide)

We go to nature park but there is no animal available or very difficult to see in the forest. But If any one needs to see the forest and connect with nature, then they can go otherwise no need to go for animals.

Excellent for monsoon nature walks. Highly recommended!!

Chousath yogni 🛕 is located near bhedaghat Jabalpur. This temple is old monument about Kalachuri time 1000 Yr. ago .famous for it's natural beauty ancient sculptures.

Went here during Ganapati visarjan btw they don't allow you to do visarjan here I just went for a view. It is good but gets a bit dirty as people pour off their household belongings in this river. The bridge gives the best view. There are shops of Prasad nearby and also a temple is present.

Experiencing the river at night offers a unique perspective. The gentle rocking of the boat is incredibly soothing. Darkness amplifies the sounds of nature surrounding the river. The reflections of lights on the water create a magical atmosphere. It's a truly memorable way to appreciate the beauty of the river.

This is one of the most peaceful and best ghats in Jabalpur. You are mesmerized by the beauty and might of Narmada River. The ghats are less crowded and there is ample parking space here. You can also enjoy boating here. Daily Aarti at 7:30PM is not to be missed. There are small shops selling puja items. And you can enjoy boat rides here.

One of my favorite and very peaceful place to visit. It is less crowded as compared to Gwarighat. There is ample amount of parking space. You can also enjoy boating here. Must attend daily Aarti at 7:30PM. We visit this place every Saturday.

Nice place. We visited during monsoon and the river Narmada was getting flooded at a fast rate. The river bank (ghat) was totally submerged underwater. However, it wasn't extremely dangerous as no one was affected. The local shops were moved due to rising levels of river water. Places like riverbanks must be avoided during this season. Overall the place is hygienic and beautiful. Good spot to enjoy wit family.Bathing ghat for locals Looks nice as this place is an important bathing ghat for local people. They purify themselves here with the cold river water in the winter. The New and Old bridge are also a good contrast. People are still walking across the river using the old bridge. Interesting experience. Not very much of the attraction as it's not meant for the tourists. Still it's worth visiting if you are interested in the local daily life here.

Peaceful place. A bit crowded during Shraadh & Kartik month. Small shops selling puja items. Small Boats are here for a ride. Water level is high during monsoon. Some ashes of Mahatma Gandhiji were immersed here.Needs a bit more maintenance.

Peaceful, not crowded nature place.

I visited Sangram Sagar Lake yesterday and it was truly peaceful. The lake is quite big, and the cool breeze and calm surroundings make it a perfect spot to relax. What I loved most was the small waterfall that forms when the lake overflows it was beautiful to watch. There's also a temple right at the shore and a small fort visible on the other side of the lake, which gives the place a nice historical touch. Overall, it felt like a hidden gem away from the city noise.

It's an unforgettable experience being there. A lot of scenery and the joggers park by the side. Bajnamath Batuk Bhairav Temple view adds a serene feel. The passage is lush green and a lot of bird activities are always there. You can see the Madan Mahal Forte and Bawadi from this place which adds to the historical importance of this place .

 Sangram Sagar Lake is a water body located near Bajnamath fort in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. It's known for its connection to King Sangram Shah, a Gond ruler, who is believed to have built the fort and possibly the lake.

Do not go from Danav Baba temple side. Go from Bajnamath Mandir side since there you would find a nice place to walk and sit. From Danav Baba temple side, which can be reached via Shakti Nagar, there is nothing apart from outskirt forest and a abandoned lane.This side is usually gathered by drunkards. Not a safe place to take family. Please take this into consideration. The lake is not so big as shown in maps. Just in rainy season the water level increases. Otherwise the water level is very low in other seasons.

A nice place to hangout with friends,

It's a great place to visit. There is a shani temple which is very famous and besides it this lake is situated, it is a must place to visit in jabalpur. The park has also developed for tourist attraction and morning/evening walk. It's safe to visit and parking is also sufficient. But don't go Danav Baba temple side. From Danav Baba temple side, which can be reached via Shakti Nagar, there is nothing apart from outskirt forest and a abandoned lane.This side is usually gathered by drunkards. Overall it's a beautiful and historical place. Must visit

Good place to visit even for the non Jains. Sunset time is notably worth visiting. It's a little hill post, but the stairs are very low rise, about 4-5" sizes, around 380 in number in all. No elevator, no palki.

This 15th-century Jain temple complex is rooted in a powerful legend, a humble woman known as Pisanhari (flour-miller) saved money by grinding flour and eventually built this pilgrimage site. Her statue and the original grinding stones remain above the entrance as symbols of her devotion. Spread over 18 acres, the site includes 13+ temples, featuring the monumental 55-foot Bahubali statue, the grand Nandishwar Dweep Jinalaya, a samavsarana structure, a mandapa hall, and a two-story garbhagriha. Positioned atop a 300-foot hill near Medical Garha, it offers sweeping views of Jabalpur, a cooling breeze, and a calming environment, perfect for reflection.

Pisanhari Ki Marhia, Jabalpur A revered Digambara Jain temple complex built in the 15th century by a humble flour-grinder woman (“Pisanhari”) who saved her earnings to construct it — symbolizing devotion and selflessness. 🏞️ Located on a small hill near Medical Garha, offering panoramic city views. 🕒 Timings: Around 6 a.m.–9 p.m. (daily) 📍 Distance: About 5 km from Jabalpur city centre 🛕 Features: Multiple shrines, peaceful surroundings, and an inspiring legend. 🌤️ Best time to visit: October–March It’s both a spiritual site and a viewpoint, ideal for those interested in history, faith, and serene landscapes.

This pilgrim site is a must-visit, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the city's hustle and bustle. Jain Dharmshala provides affordable accommodation for Jain travelers. If arriving by train, Madan Mahal railway station is the nearest option, closer than Jabalpur's main railway station.

Beautiful Jain temple..Well located on main road..Well parking space..quite number of stairs to walk up to temples but worth goin as May experience an arieal view of jabalpur city..very clean and safe drinking water!!

I loved it during my visit there it was great So many things to see i can see the whole jabalpur from the hill top..😇

It's a must visit place in Jabalpur. Very clean and peaceful Jain temple.

High Price low quantity low taste poor service Fried Zeera Rice has a bad taste, never buy. Worst taste of Mushroom masala.

One of the oldest restaurants in Jabalpur, when I was a child I used to visit this restaurant alot with my family.1 Haven't visited this place for more than 10 years, but I today I visited this place(thanks to my Nana he insisted) and never expected that I'll get this delicious and quality food, everything I ordered was perfect and I remembered the taste of food from my childhood. I ordered Paneer butter masala, baigan bharta, paneer makhani, dal fry, tawa roti, laccha paratha and butter naan all were up to the mark. It was really a good experience here and now I'll visit this place more. Staff here was very good and humble, proper covid guidelines sanitizer mask and staff was wearing mask and caps.

We arrived at the restaurant at around 8:50 - 9:00 pm, ordered the food almost instantly. We waited and waited and the food finally arrived after 50 mins. If this wasn’t a good enough example of their service. After serving us with the first couple of rotis, they made us wait 15 mins more for the next batch. I would not recommend this hotel for dining at all.

I am visiting this place from a long time ,there food is marvellous,specially there sizzlers,Taste is what people come here for. I tried Paneer Sizzlers which was absolutely delicious. I tried garlic naan which was a ambrosius. Even simple Dal Tadka was such a delight. There quantity and quality is great,price is a little higher to some dishes,but overall experience great.

It's one of the oldest restaurants in Jabalpur I am going there since my childhood. We recently visited this place and this was almost 10 years since we last visited, I am really amazed to see the quality, service and food still the same. We ordered same menu that we used to ordered starting with tomato soup and paneer chilly sizzler along with jeera rice, Panner will just melt in your mouth each bite reminded me of my childhood. Overall ratings: Food : 5/5 Service : 5/5 Price : 5/5 Ambience : 5/5 Chilly paneer sizzler is a must try dish. It's a must visit place for evry food lover 👍👍👍

These people stop their customers from checking out of their hotel, for local driver issues.. Worst stay experience.Bad room conditions. Worst hospitality. Waiters dont help in luggage loading[many senior citizen waiters] MP tourism ka naam kharab kar diya hai. If in Jabalpur, visit any place apart from this. There are lots of better affordable and good options.

Good food and taste is great. Ordered for train while in jabalpur the items i ordered was good for more then 5-6 hours from the time it got packed.

This place has my heart and my go to place whenever I need to eat thali and a full meal...The place and atmosphere is good and hygienic and services are awesome although the place is not so fancy but you can come with family and friends for dinner and lunch as the taste is wonderful and the place is neat and clean..I had ordered Shahi thali for ₹210 and the quantity was actually a lot and my appetite got full but my thali still have food😅..

Affordable price hygienic food quality good taste😋

I ordered Shahi thali from this restaurant.this thali has my heart I like it.worth of money i will say. Inside this thali i see two rasgulla in it. I'm suprised to seeing it. 😋In other restaurants they serve only one but in this thali that advantage of sweet I like most😁.the other items are also good in taste worthy thali 👍😊💯

Everything is good but the only problem is everytime when you touch the tap it gives you electric shock it's a major problem... If any staff or owner is seeing this review I urge to replace it with a fibre or plastic tap consider it as my humble request because I like your food.

Hype has been created only... I had ordered a special Thali but it was far away from the taste of normal Dhabas in terms of taste and quality

Good taste Clean restaurant Good service Low price Also available parcel facility.

Went there for dinner and tried special thali . Taste wise it was above average. Service was quite good and staff was very well behaved and friendly. Ambience was quite good . Seating arrangement are good as well. You can visit them and try their special thali which is more than enough for one person .

We randomly visited this place, we didn't have any idea, on entering it was an average looking place we have to ask many people to get to a waiter or manager wether it's open or not. Finally we got a place and ordered soups and papad were average, then came starters I was literally amazed we tried stuffed chicken and stuffed mushrooms, out of them stuffed chicken is just amazing it's the best stuffed chicken I have ever eaten. Main course are also good taste wise, one downfall is the rotis I don't know how prepare them but it will like jail rotis very fluffy and hard to eat, and was served cold that ruins the main course for us. Overall Ratings: Ambience 3/5 Service 2/5 Staff 2/5 Food 4/5 Overall it's a great place to have chicken those are their speciality but I really like to see other points improved

We went to Moti Mahal for dinner and ordered paneer curry and naan. What we got was stale, spoiled curry, an old soggy salad, and green raita that smelled rotten. Then we ordered dal and rice! When we complained, the waiter or attendant weren’t even willing to taste or smell it... just kept arguing that “everything here is always fresh” and “you’re the only one saying this, even on Zomato we pack this food " Honestly, places like this should just put a lock on their door instead of serving food that belongs in the trash.

We had a vegetarian meal here. The ambiance was nice. All items were tasty especially the tandoori breads. The only regret was slow response regarding salad items like onion and lemon.

Nice clean and calm atmosphere food was good like the service must try

The Anda Curry was a revelation, blending spices and herbs in a way that elevated the humble egg to a culinary masterpiece. The creamy texture of the curry enveloped each egg, creating a harmonious fusion of taste and texture that was truly delightful.The service was impeccable, with the staff offering genuine warmth and knowledge about the dishes. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhanced the enjoyment of the meal. A must visit!

Food was ok but service was pretty bad . We order them with less spicy Dish but it was pretty spicy they offered a replacement but that was way worse and was not looking fresh

Wonderful restaurant.I live in USA. I was visitng my family and been there on 17th Nov 2019 for family dinner. I had one of the most amazing experience of my life. The food was really delicious and customer service was excellent. We ordered appetizer, (mutton seekh kebabs and stuffed chicken tangdi kebab), soups and main course ( chicken lababdar, mutton rogan josh and garlic naan) . All the food came out quick, fresh and amazingly delicious. I will definitely eat again in this restaurant whenever I am in Jabalpur.

A small halt during our lovely visit to famous Bheda ghat . Narmade Har

The food is good services good ambiance is amazing and everything is good perfect

The food was overall quite good and hygienic. However, the use of plastic plates was disappointing. Switching to steel or a more sustainable alternative would better match the quality and ambiance of the place not to mention be a healthier and more eco-friendly choice.

The food and the taste is just normal, waiting time is little more. The thing I didn’t liked about the place is self service, they don’t serve food all at a time which is a turn off at times. It is more like qsr(quick service restaurant) but the service is not quick. If you going with family especially with old age people, it is not at all convenient. The location is good with good parking space.

What you order is exactly what you get. Food is delicious. Ambience is amazing, self service at restaurant, washrooms are clean, parking space available, and temperature is checked upon entry. The place has a big TV from where you can enjoy matches. Food is little expensive compared to other cafes in the city, but it's worth it.

A decent and quiet place to spend time with friends and family. Very good quality food but taste can be better. South Indian, north Indian, Italian, street food many cuisines are served here. Really with that quality taste can improved. I tried Cheese kulcha with Daal Makhni was pretty good in taste, Veg Biryani was average in taste. Veg Club Sandwich is awesome is taste and quality both. Asanzo's Chef Special sandwich was awful 😅 please didn't try it ever. Ambience is good, this place feels awesome. Decent interior design, very comfortable sitting. Very hygienic conditions, with proper clean and hygienic washroom.

Once good the taste of asanzo is going down day by day. Except daal makhni and kulcha combo everything in just average. You can get better taste at much lower price at other restaurants and cafes

Visited the Indian Coffee House in Jabalpur recently, and honestly, it was a mixed experience. The place itself is decent — quite basic and nostalgic like most Indian Coffee House outlets, but what really pulled the experience down was the service. Be prepared to wait. The staff will not attend to you for the first 20–25 minutes, and once they finally take your order, they tend to forget it completely for another 30 minutes. If you order multiple items (say 3–4), they will serve only 1–2 of them, and you’ll have to remind them again for the rest. It gets really frustrating when you're hungry and looking for even basic attentiveness. Coming to the food, normally Indian Coffee House food never disappoints me, but this outlet left me speechless — and not in a good way. The dahi vada here was a disaster. Instead of proper dahi vada, they simply took a vada that had already been dipped in sambhar and just poured some curd over it. The taste was as bad as it sounds. If you are visiting for nostalgia or old-world charm, you might not give it a try — but lower your expectations, especially when it comes to service and some menu items here.

One of the oldest Indian coffee house chains in town! You can find almost everything on the menu if you look long enough. And almost everything is delicious and easy to the pocket.

Indian Coffee House is not just a place to eat—it’s a part of India’s living history. From the moment you step inside, you are instantly transported to a bygone era where time moves slowly, conversations matter, and the aroma of freshly brewed filter coffee fills the air. With its humble charm, vintage ambience, and rich legacy, Indian Coffee House stands as a cultural icon that continues to win hearts across generations. I recently visited the Indian Coffee House in [insert city, e.g., Jabalpur], and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The first thing that caught my attention was the staff, dressed in traditional white uniforms with turbans—a sight that reminds you of its roots in the workers’ cooperative movement. There’s a sense of pride in their service, which is warm, polite, and genuinely welcoming. The menu is simple yet satisfying. I ordered the classic masala dosa, vegetable cutlet, and of course, their signature filter coffee. The dosa was crisp, perfectly golden, and served with fresh coconut chutney and tangy sambar. The vegetable cutlet had a lovely blend of spices and a crunchy exterior—comfort food at its best. And the coffee? Strong, flavorful, and served in stainless steel tumblers, just the way South Indian filter coffee should be. Each sip was a treat to the senses. What makes Indian Coffee House special is not just the food but the atmosphere. The decor is modest, with old wooden furniture, high ceilings, and vintage wall fans. There’s no rush, no loud music, no gimmicks—just a peaceful, old-world vibe that encourages conversation and reflection. Elderly patrons reading newspapers, college students engaged in animated discussions, families sharing meals—everyone seems to find comfort here. It feels like home. One of the most beautiful aspects of Indian Coffee House is its affordability. In a time when cafés and restaurants often overcharge for ambience and branding, Indian Coffee House keeps its pricing honest and accessible to all. This inclusivity reflects its founding principles—democratic, worker-run, and people-centric. Another reason I admire this institution is its commitment to tradition. Despite modern trends, they have stayed true to their original identity. While other cafés may chase trends, Indian Coffee House remains rooted in timeless values: simplicity, quality, and service. In summary, Indian Coffee House is more than just a café—it’s a cultural landmark. It offers a soulful experience that blends food, heritage, and human warmth. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, the sense of comfort it provides is unmatched. I highly recommend Indian Coffee House to anyone looking for an authentic, peaceful, and value-for-money dining experience.

I didnt like The place cos of bad service and below average quality of food. Be prepared to wait. The staff will not attend to you for the first 20–25 minutes, and once they finally take your order, they tend to forget it completely for another 30 minutes. If you order multiple items (say 3–4), they will serve only 1–2 of them, and you’ll have to remind them again for the rest. It gets really frustrating when you're hungry and looking for even basic attentiveness. Overhyped place ,doesnt deserve so much rating.

Very affordable and staff is very courteous but service is a bit slow during rush hours. It's a historic place... You can talk to the manager for its interesting history. Do try chicken cutlets. Avoid the cold coffee. Normal coffee is good, though. And a clean washroom. ✅ Food available 1️⃣ Snacks 2️⃣ Soup 3️⃣ Sandwich 🥪 4️⃣ Rice 🍚 pullaw biryani 5️⃣ Meals Indian veg🟩 6️⃣ Meals Indian Non veg 🟥 7️⃣ Beverages ☕️ 8️⃣ Ice-cream🍦 ✅ UnPaid Roadside 💰 car parking and unlimited space for scooty/bike. ✅ Cash 💸 ✅UPI Phone/paytm/Google Pay ✅ Debit card and credit card 💳 accept My review helpful?

Great meeting and eating place. Retains the original casual ambience of coffee house and also offers a wide ranging menu. Amazing part is almost everything on the menu is always available, a rarity in Indian restaurants. Service can be slightly slow at times. Ample street parking available. Great place if you want to spend a couple of hours..

Location is bit inside from main road..also..there are two outlets with same name..so prefer the older one which has more authentic vibes and more spacious, Relaxing.. Attracts more walk and trendy crowd from local city..as well as tourist also.. Menu offering is vast and staff is courteous, well mannered with old time dressing..

So being in Jabalpur and finding a good place to have a good time is difficult to find but Arq is one of them I would say. The place is in the outskirts of the city, far away from the crowd. The place is divided into 2 different sections. We were in the bar section, Jabalpour. The place was quite compact amounting to the people there, that too on Tuesday. The range of drinks are quite good, but I would say not all cocktails are good and you have to be wise enough to choose your tonic. The options in the menu are less according to me. The pizza was fine and I was disheartened to know that they didn't had thin crust on the menu or Neapolitan in there menu. The kebab platter was fine. From my side, they have to improve on there food taste rest the place is good. The place is heavy on the pockets also. Average price for 2 is 1500 rupees. Food 3/5 Ambiance 4/5 Menu 3/5 Drinks 4.5/5 Overall 3.5/5

The chicken sizzler was not thay good..may be i sjpuld have told not fill them with the soya sauce and french fries with the rice and all..and the chicken was also not that good in taste..overall was a bad experience with the food, also tried the chilli paneer sizzler, same format. Think other cuisines may be good..restaurant is nice and ambiemce also good. Suggest to try with some other cuisines for sure.

Worst food experience 🤮🤮 It seemed like you had not come to eat food. You had come just to pay money, the taste of the food was so bad. and Suppose, you are sitting quietly and eating something. What happens after that is that the staff there will stand there and keep watching you to see when you will order something And they charge you more money in the name of . Suppose if the bottle is for ₹20 then they will charge you 47 rupees And when I asked him why he was charging more than the MRP, he replied, I will give you the bill for that. This is how it works here. why we should pay more than MRP. Is there any meaning of that? And if you are thinking that you will be able to talk comfortably, then you will not be able to talk comfortably. I am telling you the truth. Such a couple should not go there.

Arq the courtyard is located in Tilhari, a bit far away from the city if you live on the other side of the city, but it's an incredible place. Prices are good considering the vibe, location, and services it's offering. They also have a bar on the other side if you drink. Food ratings: honey, chilli, potato, 5/5 Manchurian 5/5 Noodles 3.5/5 Pizza 2.5/5 French fries 4/5 Overall, a nice experience if you want to have a dine-in. With family or with friends Highly recommended; try once.

Food is very good ,ambience is good ,and the service is okay ...overall it's 👍 must visit ..

Great place, I had been there for my Niece's Aqeeqa Ceremony. The ambiance of the function hall was amazing, Food catering service was top notch and delicious. It made my experience more better

Arq is unquestionably one of the greatest locations in Jabalpur; my friends and I have been there frequently, and each time we have had a positive experience with the food and atmosphere. Must visit!!

The food was quite boring We had crispy corn and Manchurian sizzler for starters and they both had same taste and crispy corn weren't crispy at all For main course we ordered Tandoori roti, aloo gobhi and kadhai paneer, they served us kadhai paneer when we finished half of the meal. Aloo gobhi and Tandoori roti were tasty though

I don't like the food quality.. i went there 1st time and that was my last time .. alu paratha was ok ok and navteena special paratha is they are making fool.. no test and we spend there 100 for navneeta special.. seriously 😒waste of money... Hara bhara kabab was good... And they didn't cut in slices.. servings was not that much good.. they are not even providing alu paratha with sbzi . As other restaurants is providing!! In lower price..

Food quality good i suggest to you methi matar malai Quantity little bit low but test was delicious if you want medium spicy or non spicy food. Test it

Food is good. Service was bit slow. Staff is good.

Food good but waiter ask for tip. It seems like bhikaripana. If someone dont want to reward you why these waiter becomes bhikmangas. Its a customer choice to reward you or not. According to your worst service i refuse to reward u. So stop these things. Why spoil name of navnita restaurant.

The problem with these legacy restaurants of the city is that they still think they can get away with their slow service in today's day and age. It took the cashier at the counter 15 minutes just to take my bill. For them, it would just be another day but it is unacceptable for anyone who has seen how newer restaurants provide a way better service experience. Would much rather order at home or go literally anywhere else as this is not the early 2000's and they are not the only good restaurant out there anymore. The food was good enough tho, but the service staff is mostly overworked as the place faces rush in almost any hour. That might be the main reason of the sloppy service.

Visited on a Sunday. Service was responsive but only after calling the staff each time. The place is quite noisy as it is popular with families and seating feels a bit cramped. The AC was just okay, and because of the sizzlers, there was some smoke in the air that didn’t fully go away. We ordered Paneer 65, sizzler, and crispy corn ,all were decent. But the main dish, Paneer Mirch Masala, was disappointing lacked both spice and flavor. Dal fry was good , missi roti was let down ; Maybe the chef was having an off day. Sundays are crowded, so expect some delay and parking issues for cars. Overall, a decent experience, but there’s room to improve.

It is one of the nicest chinese restaurant in jabalpur. Talking about the food it was decent tasting food with very nice and quick service we ordered crispy hot garlic chicken and chicken schezwan noodles it was very nice... ambiance was also perfect.

Whenever I crave for good thai curry... This is my go to go place...

Best food in jabalpur for sure! Their chilli cheese dumplings are to die for! I never tasted any bad food here! Only bad thing is service is really slow but wait is worthy cause the food is extremely delicious!

I am new to Jabalpur and into exploring new places to eat. Chinese food at this place just wow.. much better than many well known restaurants and hotels in Delhi NCR region. This place has a lot of variety in the menu to offer and whatever we ordered, tasted superb.

And a good experience with food here. If you want to have authentic chinese food in Jabalpur this is the place where you must go. Food taste, quality, quantity is truly upto the mark. Though, you have to bear the price which is a little bit on the higher side. But, can assure you, if are a fan of authentic chinese cuisine you would appreciate every bite of bit. My only problem was that hotel never asked for regular water or bottles water and served the bottlwd water only. But, they have charged exorbitantly for a bottle of Kinley water bottle (45 rupees) whose MRP is 20 rupees printed on the bottle. I have told them that you cannot charge more than the MRP but they have mentioned that they can and they have clearly written that in the table. Now, i had no mood to argue with them after having such a good food and thus just left.

4.5/5 rating. We ordered garlic noodles, manchurian (semi gravy) , marinated paneer and veg dumplings. Every item was tasty and I must recommed others to visit as well. Service was good, restaurant was hardly crowded and level 2 was completly vacant when we arrived at 8 pm ( few diners arrived later though). I would rate 4/5 for the ambience. It was simple yet beautiful ambience for visiting for lunch/dinner. Quantity of the food was enough to be shared between 3-4 persons so order accordingly. We realised we ordered too much so had to pack and take away left over. 5/5 for the staff service.

Zero Car Parking Space Ambiance is excellent Just loved the Vibe Inside Quantity & Quality is up to the Mark Just i feel that Chilli Chicken is less Spicy but then also tastes good Recommended for Non-vegetarians specially Biggest Concern is to Struggle a lot for searching Safe Parking Space

Location is good ,huge parking space but i personally doesn't like there food,food was below average,but OK,overall neutral experience,but first try then comment,but location was very much good,service was also good🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😐

Recently attended a function here, good venue for small parties and family functions..!!!

Nice food and cooperative staff.. Overall a nice experience

Bogus food.. worst ever restaurant I visited... Plzz don't waste ur money on going there... They loot ur money... Slowest service... If u complain to manager he keeps silent... No responsibility

Both food and survice of this restaurant are very good

Food is okay but the function hall wasn't well made. Just for name AC hall but was not made to keep up cool.

Worst restaurant ever.... Slow service and expensive as well. Untrained waiters. They jst loots.

A wonderful place for lunch and dinner both. Food price and taste are both worthy. Staff is also cooperative. Interior gives an ambiance of a very good fine dine restaurant.

Food is below average for the price they are charging. Also they are charging an additional 10% service charge over your bill plus GST, which is not a general practice in Jabalpur so plz beware....In short not recommend..

We have been going to this restaurant for years and they have been serving us there best food Everytime...

Delicious meal especially fried rice.

Best one

Delicious restaurant..

Good food

A very small airport with two aero bridges and two luggage belts. The airport is well kept, neat and clean though the men's washroom needs better upkeep. Ample parking is available but reaching the town from the airport is difficult if one does not have personal transport. It is recommended to arrange transport before arrival.

The airport is small and is located far from the city. Travelling from airport to Jabalpur city and back is a big problem and is a big task . Taxi mafia is rampant here and they will try to fleece your money at any cost. No Ola/ uber are available here at the airport. Only flights operated are by Indigo here. The check- in was easy as there is no crowd here. The airport has limited and basic facilities. There is no good cafeteria here.

Jabalpur airport is a bit far from the city and the facilities are limited. Limited flights fly from this airport. Passengers must ensure to pre-check the check-in luggage and safety lock tags to be done.. Hassle free security check, parking facility for vehicles, 20+ check-in counters.

No ola/Uber available. You will have to go by private cabs or can book cab services from here. You can reach here with Ola/Uber, but they might ask for double fare to drop you. So just be prepared to pay more for cab if you don’t have any vehicle arrangements. The airport is well maintained, but don’t have digi yatra services and no food stalls as of August 2025.

Jabalpur Airport is a small and clean airport with limited facilities. There are only one or two food and shopping options available. It’s easy to navigate but quite basic. The only drawback is that it’s located far from the railway station, which makes travel a bit inconvenient.

Situated at the last corner of jabalpur, it's pretty, but they should start more flights from here Beautiful airport in terms of jabalpur 💖

Jabalpur Airport is located about 20 km from the city, but the facilities are extremely poor. There is no prepaid taxi counter, and Ola/Uber services are almost non-existent. On arrival, you are left at the mercy of the local taxi and auto drivers, who often overcharge or force you to share rides. I was even made to pay parking charges at the exit gate for no reason. The authorities really need to look into improving passenger transport facilities and regulating these issues.
