    Best Season:The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is cool and pleasant, ideal for open-air dining. Evenings are the only time the restaurant is open and offer the most magical experience with sunset views and illuminated palaces. Avoid the monsoon season (July to September) as heavy rain can disrupt the outdoor seating arrangement. Booking during a full moon night can provide an exceptionally beautiful view over the lake.
