What to Eat at Bikanervala - Al Furjan How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Bikanervala - Al Furjan, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try classics. For a first order, consider Chole Bhature and Raj Kachori; both were singled out as must-tries in one review.
Allow time. Build in extra time if ordering a cooked meal, as one visit reported a 30-minute wait for pav bhaji and puri bhaji.
Try chai. If service is delayed, chai is one safer order to consider: a reviewer found it good, hot and served quickly.
Check portions. Expect fixed menu quantities rather than an unlimited buffet-style option at this branch.
Choose thali. A thali is a good option if you prefer milder food: one review found the dishes tasty and not too spicy.

Common Concerns
Slow orders
One review reported a 30-minute wait for pav bhaji and puri bhaji, with service moving very slowly.
Service inconsistency
Although many reviews praise the service, some visitors reported unfriendly or rude staff interactions, especially during a breakfast visit.
Dish issues
One chole bhature visit found the bhaturas slightly oily and the pickles and onions missing.
Mixed chaat
A visitor found the pani puri horrible and the chole bhature only average, so chaat quality may not be completely consistent.
Limited menu
The menu is vegetarian-only, which suited many reviewers but disappointed one guest looking for more than vegetarian options.

The Bottom Line
Bikanervala - Al Furjan is a pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant and sweets shop serving North Indian food, chaat, mithai and breakfast. The menu gives you plenty of familiar starting points: Chole Bhature, Raj Kachori, Rajasthani Thali and Dahi Puri all appear in the reviews, while the live counters also cover dosa and paratha. It is a practical choice when different diners want meals, snacks and sweets in one place.
Food feedback is mostly strong, with repeated praise for fresh, authentic flavours and especially the thalis, chole bhature and sweets. Rabri Rasmalai was called delicious, and one review highlighted the mango lassi and rasmalai combination. The setting has been described as clean, neat and hygienic, with one older review noting that the compact dining area accommodates around 25 people.
Service is the main variable. Many diners report quick, attentive visits, but one order took 30 minutes for pav bhaji and puri bhaji, and a breakfast visitor found the staff attitude unwelcoming. Chaat is also not flawless: one review strongly disliked the pani puri.
If timing matters, allow a little extra room, and remember that this branch uses fixed menu quantities rather than an unlimited option.
