Royal Sheesh Mahal Restaurant in Palace on Wheels, One of the Most Luxurious and Expensive Trains in the World

A glimpse into the breathtaking dining experience at the iconic Sheesh Mahal Restaurant onboard Palace on Wheels.

This place is a true masterpiece of Indian heritage luxury. The entire restaurant is inspired by traditional royal architecture, and what makes it truly special is the beautiful Thikri work — a delicate Rajasthani handicraft where tiny pieces of mirror are carefully embedded into the walls and ceilings. When light reflects on it, the whole space shines like a palace from a royal era.

It genuinely feels like dining inside a moving royal palace, where every detail reflects luxury, culture, and tradition blended perfectly.

A perfect example of why the Palace on Wheels is often considered one of the best luxury trains in the world

Yay!!! For the first time in quite a while, the YouTube algorithm actually grabbed the BEST frame for the thumbnail of my shorts video!

Let's celebrate by spending a little over two minutes trackside on a very pleasant May night as we watch an ES44AC and an ET44AC roll past us on their way out of town toward the Inland Port at Greer.

Please click the link, enjoy the video, and share it with your friends and family. Thank you for watching!
