An absolute delightful place to visit ! We were famished after touring the Fort and just walked down the streets to find a restaurant . Suddenly , this cafe catches our attention and we went inside . The first impression itself was of a nice courtyard cafe . And we were much delighted after our ordered dishes came. I asked an employee behind the bill register - what’s the reason behind the name of this cafe ? He told that “Labboo” was the Holkar’s driver ! He used to ran a lodge in those days . Now this is a Cafe that is run on his name ! He was tall , so people used to called him “Lambu” and kids usually mis-pronounced his name as “Labboo” , that’s from where this all started ! I found the food to be delicious . Only thing was the slow service since they prepare and serve piping-hot food instead of just heat the food which was made earlier then serve , like many restaurants do. The Paranthas were amazing . Sandwiches were equally good. The ambience was neat , clean , green and beautiful . One must visit this cafe when in Maheshwar.

The Cafe is located inside the fort.We ate here, very decent and hygienic. Its interior is simple and aesthetic. We haven't stayed here. After an exhausting day, we went for lunch... immediately you step into the cafe, it is cool and that make you relax. We ordered Aloo paratha and butter paneer masala they served it hot, within 15 minutes. It was very tasty and homely. Of course, food will not hurt your belly. Nominal price too. Note: Toilet latch is not closing properly which needs to be corrected immediately.

Labboo's cafe gave me one of the best lodging experiences of my life. They are probably rated lower on Google reviews today because they don't have a conventional cafe that people expect- service isn’t quick, there aren’t a lot of food options, and they take their last order by 7.30. But trust me, if you are staying here, you are going to have an amazing time. I did the booking for the stay by contacting their manager through the number i found online. My booking experience wasn't all that good to be honest. So my impression of the place wasn't that good until I arrived. After that, everything changed :p. They were very sweet people - the guard, the helpers, the manager. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The rooms were incredible (both the Bee Eater and the Magie pie). Magpie has two windows where you can sit and gonk outside. Though the view is mostly covered by bushes. Though the view on the window of Bee Eater is open and you'd enjoy sitting there. The open area by the Bee eater room is amazing too. Overall, the lodging experience was great. Now onto to the food. They had complementary breakfast with the booking. So you could order 2 things out of the list the handed out- options included things like Poha, Aloo Paratha, sandwich, bread butter, toast, tea, coffee. It was a small list. But the food was great. For lunch/ dinner, you can tell them what you want to eat and around what time would you like to eat and they'll do the preparation accordingly. They don't have a lot of crowd usually, so they prepare as per request ( for which reason, their prep time can be loong for the people only coming to eat here, it's not a quick grab and bite place ). Thing I tried here: - Veg thali 3/5 - Paneer pakoda 5/5 - Noodles 4.5/5 - Manchurian 5/5 - Poha 4.5/5 - Aloo Paratha 4/5 I loved their food, especially Paneer pakoda and Manchurian. Just Amazing! Worth every penny and more. I had a few safety concerns for the bee eater room which I passed on to the manager and I hope they’ll be addressed. All in all, it was an amazing experience and would recommend you to try Labboos for sure. Note: Maheshwar is a slow placed town. The kitchen in labboos closes by 7.30 PM. So order ahead.

Very good food with ambiance like village cottage . I can sit here for ever and have tea. Highly recommended restaurant in Maheshwar.

Lovely ambiance, great location! Food is also okay as compared to other restaurants in that town. Even foreigners can prefer eating here. Items like Manchurian and honey chilli potato are tasty. Whereas do not try there grilled sandwich which is not that tasty and too dry. French fries are okay to go with. Limited food options but good to spend your evening after exploring the fort. Prices are reasonable. They have washrooms which are clean and neat. Just located on the right hand side of the main entrance of the Rajwada or Maheshwar fort.

Terrible Horrible experience. They start with - No. This is not available. That is not available. This will take an hour. This menu is not today. This is not on weekdays. This is not on weekends. Why on earth do they call themselves a restaurant, I wonder.

One of the nicest place I've ever been to. The food was amazing, specially, the Aloo Parathas and the Cheese Sandwich. I am in love with the interiors as it was made in vintage style. The experience I had there was totally amazing. I will definitely plan one more visit in near future to Labboo's Café.

Expensive Didn't have anything except tea the evening we went

It's an open cafe, where you can have complete vegetarian meal, paneer paratha is a must try (please ask to put less salt if you like to have mild taste in terms of savoury food).. I would not recommend to have dinner here if anyone is scared of lizards, other than that Labooz is a hot place for meals in Maheshwar And not to forget everyone in Maheshwar are soft spoken people so it's easy to communicate with them.. (To be noted: there are literally limited options for food in Maheshwar) Other than cafe, Labooz also has heritage lodge, if you are not sensetive to mold smell (during or after monsoon), give it a try to stay there. They have AC and water heater as well. Hope you have a good time in Maheshwar.

Absolutely loved this place. Unfortunately was unable to secure a 2 day stay due to non availability of rooms. Food options are limited but the food is very good. Walking distance to the fort. Prompt and friendly staff that will go the extra mile. Great ambience. Be careful of mosquitoes during 1-2 hours in the evening. Would love to visit again for sure.

Rooms: It isn't easy to do up a heritage property, and I think they've pulled off a good one (atleast the Bee Eater was good) Service: Very prompt and courteous staff Location: I was delighted to stay within a fort premise for the first time, the walk towards the ghat, proximity to the river and the palace made it a perfect location. Food: I've always found it hard to find simple, clean local cuisine in such places. I think the food was simple and delicious.

Peaceful and Delicious food This place is just outside the Ahilya Devi fort. Ambience is good. Food is delicious. You have to place and order over the counter once you go inside. They have plenty of options available here. I loved the cold coffee there.

Extremely discourteous staff. Huge wait time, for a normal grilled sandwich they take 45 minutes and then the sandwich comes which is not even grilled.The attitude of the staff is terrible, as soon as you enter they tell you that the it will take at least 30 mins for a normal bare minimum order. The washrooms are stinky and dirty.It feels that the heritage and hospitality of indore is being shamed.

It's small cottage type rooms made in ahilyadevi Mahal. Rooms are cosy but nice. Staff is friendly and food is cheap. You have private car park area. Close to Narmada river ghat. This place is inside Ahilyadevi fort, therefore you can bring your car directly to hotel. Road to this fort is narrow and pass through market lanes. There is oneway at all place to avoid congestion. You can also visit nearby Sahastradhara (7km) from here. This is my fourth visit here. Room cost from 1800 to 3500 rs per day.

Its good place ...

We went as group of friends and tried our very well renounced place in Maheshwar. But this place does not have a good service k. Even food quality is far from good. Would definitely no t suggest this place.

The whole architecture is very antique. Rooms are a bit small enough for 2 people. Food is quite okay. The hotel is made inside Ahilya Fort.

Sitting is ethnic should be more hygiene hence the 4 stars, else the food is so great, makes u feel like home cooked food superb food, seating can improve a bit

Location is good, just inside the fort. Neet and clean rooms. Staff is very friendly. The problem is their restaurant timings and menu options. Very limited options of veg food only, except egg fried rice and omlet. The timings are very odd. They don't accept any orders beyond 07:30 pm and serve nothing after 8 pm, strictly. They open at 8 am and can provide breakfast only after 08:30 am. Terrible. One good thing is that they have private parking available inside the fort walls if you are staying with them.

Menu is big but many things are not available... Price is little high...but taste is good...

Was quite good but had noodles the taste was amazing but the noodles were thick and sandwich was good but was not reasonable price for it.

A good restaurant in Maheshwar. The way the lady attendent gives quick service with smiling face and soft words coupled with testy food....you just enjoy sitting and having your food there

Stay : Rooms are small but clean and cozy. Some rooms don't have bathroom doors. Confirm once before booking. Food : Decent food. Parathas are good. Sandwiches etc can be improved. Location : Great location. Located right in the fort. Ghat, kashi vishweshwar and fort Maheshwar are 5 mins walk from here. Special mention to Ravi, who was the manager there. He was very helpful throughout our booking process and stay.

very authentic food and nice,quiet place

Rustic beauty of this quaint outlet with the simplicity and warmth of staff does touch a chord. Immense scope of improvisation in infrastructure but loved the people there.

I wish there would be a option to give zero aur minus ⭐... I would definitely give it zero.. Food has not quality and taste it just wastage of your money and spoiling your mood😶. I tried here idli and sambhar and payed 90 rs for this.... Food taste wasth pathetic . Staff was not so active. In fort area of maheshwar there is not such a good option to eat..so plan according.

Highly recommended stopover. They serve the most incredible food.

We stayed 3 nights in the Bee-Eater room and it was a special experience to stay on the top of the city gate with 2 private patios. Highly recommended! Restaurant ambiance is fabulous but the food is lacking. Would love to see some dishes with fresh vegetables or fruits.

Location is good, just inside the fort. Neet and clean rooms. Staff is very friendly. The problem is their restaurant timings and menu options. Very limited options of veg food only, except egg fried rice and omlet. The timings are very odd. They don't accept any orders beyond 07:30 pm and serve nothing after 8 pm, strictly. They open at 8 am and can provide breakfast only after 08:30 am. Terrible. One good thing is that they have private parking available inside the fort walls if you are staying with them.

There have unique heritage rooms , cafe is also very good , located in prime location.. food is good but not great.. service is fine .. need to improve .. overall satisfied ..especially atmosphere over there is pleasant and peaceful

Highly recommended! Restaurant ambiance is fabulous and your staff is also good but your food is taking too much time to be served. Next time i definitely vitis this property with my family ✨

This place is very close to the ghat and the only cafe in this stretch that is open up early. A great breakfast option with a beautiful old vibe. The only thing is this place is in no hurry so if you are here for a quick bite thing again as it's a laid back place and they take time to serve the order. Another thing place all your order at once including your after meal drinks as they are going to take time. We were in hurry hence we had to only have tea and leave , cancelling our food order as that was taking time.

This place is right at the entrance of Ahilya fort. The rooms are part of the fort, heritage style, well maintained. Service and staff behavior is good. We booked two rooms on the spot as we reached in evening. Next morning we visited the fort, temples and Narmada ghat. All are at walking distance. People in Maheshwar are very friendly.

Really nice location to have a cup of tea/ coffee, or fresh juice. A wide range of snacks available to fill your stomach with love after coming up to the fort! Beautiful small rooms for stay at 'Narmada Ghat' if you pre-plan the tour.

If you are thinking of eating or staying at Labooz, our advice would be to DON’T. We stayed in the room next to the REHWA Society outlet, (8 October 2023) across the road from the café. The room had no windows and only one light out of the two provided was working. The flush did not work in the bathroom and the bathroom had no exhaust. The room reminded us of a poor Mumbai chawl. The food was worse. We had a vegetarian Thali at 300 per head for lunch. The rice and the dal were cold and the vegetable provided was lauki with a lot of dal. The complimentary breakfast consisted of poha and coffee. If this is how the Royal Holkars live or entertain, it is a sad commentary on our royal past. The place is running only on the name and it doesn’t seem like the owners are in any way engaged or interested in the running of the place.

OK food. Understaffed, hence took a while for the order to be served. Food was OK OK. I loved their Soyabean sabji and brinjal sabjibfeom their Thali. A bit on the expensive side. I suggest that they add some local delicacies to their menu.

I stayed here for a cup of tea and was mesmerized by this place. A quaint sylian retreat tucked away at the entrance to the Maheshwar fort. The foliage and the canopy hide this gem from the outside world. I would advise everyone to stop here and have a nice soothing cup of tea and forget worries for a while.

This is the only cafe we got on Maheshwar fort. Price side it's on higher side but if you are hungry this is the good place. Also they have rooms for stay.

Room were ok But the cafe looks nice and peaceful Serving speed is really slow but staff behaviour is nice and sweet The food and sandwich is really nice

Labooz Cafe is a gem just as is Maheshwar, the little town on the banks of the night Narmada. stayed here en route from Indore to Dhule. a must visit place.

Super cool vibes.. laid back! Right at the entry to the fort. We tried few things and everything was upto the mark. Many things were not available from the menu probably due to less tourists right now. Well maintained and hygienic. The staff used masks and gloves and even sanitised all tables and chairs after people left.

The cafe situated just near the palace and center of the city, it provides accessibility to important town facilities. With its convenient location, the cafe offers easy access to the city's must-see destinations. Cafe having almost dishes you can get in this malwa region. Taste and price is moderate.

No parking space for car. washrooms could have been better. Overall a great experience there loved the tea of labbooz cafe.

Very good interiors using fort walls. Very accessible for local site seeing just by walk

(Translated by Google) Ghar jaisa khana tha! (Original) Ghar jaisa khana tha!

Must visit place , refreshing place awesome food, value for money. Only service to be improved slightly

Excellent hang out place after visiting ahilya fort and ghat. Food is delicious. Do try poha and chai there.

cafe is pathetic and service was extremely slow. that too worst tasting food hate it! do not waste your time here. dont go inside !

Costly but nice place

Best

Great cafe with quality snacks at fair prices. Great place to chill and relax

The service is slow, because they cook the food only on order so that everything is fresh. Great ambience and friendly staff. The lodge has some really beautiful heritage rooms as well.

This place is a mix of both taste and ambience one of the best places to enjoy your meal. The way the things are done here leaves you mesmerized.

Niche cafe at Maheshwar with quality taste, rates and classic sitting. Nestling just aside of Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Rajwada, by evening turns out to be a great crowd puller at Maheshwar and from nearby areas as well. A must visit place at Maheshwar.

Heritage lodge and Concept coffee shop provides a contemporary and great ambience for the visitors of the Devi Ahilyabhai palace and temple. Coffee shops offers quick bites and great coffee and tea. Open and comfortable seating gives one the relaxing and natural feeling of whiling your time under the trees.

The location of Labboo's Cafe is in close proximity to the temple and the palace. The food is very good so are the staff.

Great ambience, average food and very slow service.

Very bad experience.

Great cafe ever

Food is average

Loved the stay here and it's breakfast with the alu paratha is a must have in the mornings

Charming place and setting! Yummy food. The staff was very accommodating.

The staff at labboo’z is just the slowest, most inefficient you’ll fine in India! We went there four times because we liked the outdoor seating, it really is a lovely place. But everytime we were amazed at how bad the service really was! Most of the dishes on the menu they don’t have, but that was not an issue to us, I was fine with just a sandwich or dal (except for the grilled sandwich, all our food was served cold). But even though we were the only customers on three of the occasions we went there, it took at least 15 minutes to come up to our table. And there is plenty of staff! Today we had been waiting for 20 minutes for somebody to come up to us. When the guy finally arrived, he told us waiting time would be at least an hour, and then he just left. I still wanted to order a drink so we sat there for another 20 minutes waiting for a waiter to appear ( we tried calling someone, it didn’t help) until we finally had enough and just left. Worst restaurant experience ever!!!

Very cool little hotel, cleanliness can e improved. Staff is enthusiastic and eager to please. Very well located

Ambience is worth the amount you spend there..

Very nice

This is a nice cozy place. Located at entrance to mahesh war fort. In fact the entrance arch hides this place. The rooms are small but comfortable. The toilets are clean. Some specific items on the menu of food is good. Pasta, kaju sabjee, thali is good. Did not like the aloo chat at all.

Terrific heritage building. Nice room well appointed with good bed. Only problem were all the tourists and locals screaming and shouting and honking their horns from early a.m. to about 10pm right outside the building. But other than this food great and staff very helpful. Manager Arif especially so.

(Translated by Google) The rooms are clean and well furnished. But the hydraulic system is lacking (hot water not always available) and electric (it often skips the light and the power outlets are approximate). Breakfast is miserable and ridiculous: you can only choose a hot drink and a toast, at most buttered. The staff never smiles and is often distracted and unkind. There is no table cleaning and waiting times for meals are long. The menu for lunch and dinner is limited, and for dinner you can have dinner for a maximum of 7 p.m. The night is better not to stay in the rooms near the entrance because you might be woken up by the watchman who watches TV at too high volumes. Exaggerated quality / price ratio. (Original) Le camere sono pulite e ben arredate. Ma difetta l'impianto idraulico (acqua calda non sempre disponibile) ed elettrico (salta spesso la luce e le prese di corrente sono approssimative). La colazione è misera e ridicola: puoi scegliere solo una bevanda calda ed un toast,al massimo imburrato. Il personale non sorride mai ed è spesso distratto e poco cortese. La pulizia dei tavoli è assente e i tempi di attesa dei pasti sono lunghi. Il menu per pranzo e cena è ristretto,inoltre per la cena si può cenare al massimo alle 7 p.m. La notte meglio non soggiornare nelle camere vicino L'ingresso perché potreste essere svegliati dal guardiano che guarda TV a volumi troppo alti. Rapporto qualità/prezzo esagerata.

Nice location but poor service,untrained staff and the food is bad. The French fries were served burnt and soggy and the staff was unapologetic about the quality of food and the service. Lastly, the credit card machine didn't work and the staff did not provide the contact number of the owner /senior management to lodge a complaint. Overall, a BAD place and avoidable.

One of its own....retro type..can be tried

Very slow service, not so clean place. Nice cafe area. Public washroom door doesn't lock and no sign of getting it fixed! Unusual and slow check-in process.

Super spot in historic city walls.. Very quiet and relaxing place to eat.. Good and tasty food. Good staff..
