Rajdhani is a no-nonsense place that serves only Gujrati/Rajasthani Thalis. The focus is on the quality of food and service. The service is extremely hospitable. It's similar to being some esteemed guests at someone's home rather than being customers in a restaurant.

And did I mention it is extremely quick. Go, grab a chair and it starts.One guy comes with Chutneys and papad and salad. The third guy with the sabzis and the fourth guy with the dals. Then there is Khichdi and Chawal. And of course the sweets. And dare I forget the dollops of ghee (Optional). The food is unlimited. The menu changes everyday.

One word of caution though. Maybe this is not place for you if you like your food real spicy. Nothing is spicy and the Gujrati Dal and Gujrati Kadi is actually sweet.

I have been there twice; once on a weekday and once on a weekend. I wud recommend going for a weekday lunch if you can manage as the service is far better. It is a lil crowded on weekends. And my weekday thali was much better than the weekend thali. The weekday thali had Dal Bati and I am huge fan of Dal Bati.

So give this place a try if you want to sample Gujrati/Rajasthani food or if you are in mood for a quick wholesome khana that tastes a lil like home cooked meal.
