The Rubens at the Palace offers three distinct on-site dining venues. The English Grill features a charcoal-fired Josper grill and Murano chandeliers, with table-side theatre for dishes like steak Diane. The Curry Room presents a three-course menu blending Indian and African influences by Chef Arun Kumar, alongside an exceptional Thali. The New York Bar, known for its striking red décor, hosts London's famous gin and whisky experiences with table-side cocktail preparations.
