The Rajasthani cooking gets unusually specific praise, from dal baati and gatte ki sabzi to laal maas made with Rajasthani mathani mirch.
Several customers found the portions substantial; one Rajasthani special thali was too large for one person to finish.
Catering reviews describe punctual setup, custom menus and attentive service, including a buffet and live grilling station for a backyard party.
Home deliveries and office lunches are repeatedly described as arriving hot or fresh, on time and in neat, secure packaging.
The tiffin service is praised for fresh, balanced meals, dependable daily delivery and enough variety to avoid repetition.
For house parties and celebrations, customers say the team adjusted menus around preferences, spice levels and budget.
A vegetarian thali and onion-and-garlic-free catering both received strong feedback for flavour, freshness and generous quantities.
Orders are packed securely for transport; one customer only needed to heat the food in the oven, with breads included.

“We ordered a portion of pindi chole, paneer makhanwala and a bread basket. In the breadbasket they missed to include one of the variety, pindi chole was tasteless and paneer makhanwala which is usually served in a buttery orange gravy was served in a very light whitish orange gravy here. We attempted to order from here basis the hype created but I dont think we will ever want to order again. I think the highlight for me from the entire order was Tawa paratha which was great !! Both the main dishes were drenched in oil hence we will give it a pass !!”

Share thali. Consider sharing the Rajasthani special thali: one reviewer found it too large for one person to finish.
Confirm catering. For parties, confirm the live-counter timing, staffing, accompaniments and serving quantities in writing before the event.
Ask customisation. If ordering for a gathering, ask about menu changes and budget adjustments; customers reported that customisation was accommodated.
Allow directions. If visiting rather than ordering delivery, allow extra time to locate the premises and expect a takeaway-focused setup.
Try specialties. For a first order, the reviews point toward Rajasthani dishes such as dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi and kadhi kachori.
Check quantities. For larger catering orders, confirm portions and replenishment arrangements, since one party reported a main dish running out.

This is described as a cloud kitchen with limited seating, and one visitor found it more takeaway-oriented than a typical dine-in restaurant.
A first-time lunch visitor said locating the premises was difficult, so allow extra time if you are going in person.
One 30-person event review reported a late live grill, cold starters, missing accompaniments and only two staff on site.
A customer found the laal maas lacking flavour and texture, while another reported tasteless chole and oily main dishes.
One catering customer said the mutton rogan josh ran out and that the served quantity differed from the paid trial.
The Bottom Line
Kesariyaa Restaurant in Business Bay is geared toward North Indian Punjabi and Rajasthani food, with delivery, tiffin and catering alongside a small dine-in setup. The strongest reason to consider it is the regional cooking: reviews specifically praise the Rajasthani special thali, Dal Baati Churma, gatte ki sabzi and laal maas. The Amritsari Chole Kulche and kadhi-kachori also receive enthusiastic mentions.
The thali is substantial enough that one reviewer could not finish it alone, while other customers describe generous vegetarian portions and neatly packed meals arriving hot or on time. Its tiffin service has been used for regular lunches, with reviewers noting fresh, balanced food and dependable daily delivery. For home gatherings, the kitchen can adjust menus around preferences, spice levels and budget; party orders have included buffets, live grilling and food for corporate events.
There are practical caveats. This is closer to a cloud kitchen than a conventional restaurant, and one visitor found it difficult to locate with limited dine-in seating. Food quality is not perfectly consistent: isolated reviews mention oily or bland dishes and disappointing laal maas.
Catering also needs careful confirmation, as one 30-person event reported a late grill, cold starters, missing accompaniments and insufficient quantities. For delivery or smaller orders, the packaging and portion feedback is considerably more reassuring.
