Rajdhani


Traditional Indian Thaali food. In more apt words its the Indian answer to the pre plated food thats served in France. And what an answer. An 18 course menu is extravagant u say???

Well wait and watch what all is served in this Thaali of ours... and ya Mind it ( In rajni uncles words).. its UNLIMITED......

Well Rajdhani the restaurant has been around for a while now and has quite a few outlets scattered here and there in delhi as well as gurgaon. Its quite a family place and judging by the covers that they have per table they usually get a lot of huge families coming in together.


The service is mind boggling. Its fast, its courteous, its impeccable and its in sign language.

Yes u read it right... the waiters over here speak to each other with this peculiar sign language making sure they are not the ones creating the noise in the restaurant.

The turn over at this restaurant is just fantastic but that is completely due to the service guys around they dont even give u a breather. The food is on your plate even before u can say i've had enough.

Well in a very traditional manner making u feel as though u're invited to one of the village homes and are being given royal treatment, the first thing they do is wash your hands. Man do u feel like a king or wat... or for the matter a princess....
Though u do feel a little awkward getting some stranger to wash your hands, but then u also enjoy this grand treatment.. he he he....
Well enough about the service now lets get to the main aspect... the FOOD.....



Quite decent is wat i would i say... Only for vegetarians one of the few places that one can enjoy such a wide spread of vegetarian affair also confirming to no garlic and no onion food.


The variety u get is outstanding. Starting from the chhach or jaljeera that they serve as the liquid appetizer, moving on to the khaman, dhokla, kachori , pithi, gujia, dahi bhalla, the achaars the chutney, khandvi , koshimbiri( these are just the appetizers) moving on to the various subzi's( curries) such as a plain aaloo matar ki subzi( potatoes and peas) gatte ki subzi( gram flour dumplings in a mild gravy), Kurkuri Bhindi ( Crispy fried okra), gujarati dal, gujrati kadhi( yoghurt based), muthiya kadhi, puran poli, singhade ki puri, paratha, phulke( the best), makai bhakri, thaali pith, thepla, ( okay i'm getting tired just naming them...) and then a variety of rice... and hello i'm not done yet... the meetha( sweet ) is yet to come....
things ranging from gulab jamun, shrikhand, aamrakhand, aam ras, dudhi halwa, rajgira sheera, sabudana kheer.

You can be sure of atleast 20 items on your thaali. And the best part being that the menu changes everyday.. making it a point to tell u that u should come back soon cause we have so much more for u....
And thats why at the end when u're about to leave they make it a point to scream out to u.. OUJHO.... Meaning pls come back again... and tell u what go there once and u'll definately listen to them.....
