Agra

What to order

Agra is the most consistently praised restaurant at Moon Palace — authentic North Indian cuisine in a resort where Indian food at this level is genuinely unexpected. Book it first when you arrive; it's the most-requested table in the Sunrise section and fills within hours of check-in. The kitchen is led by Chef Sarvesh Patankar. Flavors are aromatic and layered; vegetarian options are as strong as the meat dishes, and the naan is fresh-baked to order.

• Paneer Tikka
  The best starter — smoky charred paneer with tandoor char; consistently singled out in TripAdvisor reviews as a must-order first course.
• Paneer Butter Masala
  The vegetarian benchmark — creamy tomato-based gravy with fresh paneer; the dish that guests return for multiple nights.
• Chicken Tikka Masala
  The accessible crowd-pleaser and the one to order if it's your first Indian meal; well-spiced and reliably executed.
• Biryani
  Fragrant basmati rice cooked with spices and your choice of protein; the most complete one-dish meal at Agra.
• Samosa (Chicken and Potato)
  The classic opener — crispy pastry with spiced filling; order it to start while you decide on mains.
• Naan
  Fresh from the tandoor; always order extra — essential for scooping gravies and better than anything else in the bread basket at any Moon Palace restaurant.

Reservations fill the same day as check-in; book immediately on arrival. Vegetarian menu is as extensive as the meat menu.
