The Bottom Line

Khandani Rajdhani in Al Karama is a vegetarian restaurant built around a generous Rajasthani and Gujarati thali. A typical meal can include starters, dal bati churma, several sabzis and dals, breads, rice, chaas and sweets, with repeated servings. Reviews also mention jalebi with rabdi, live pani puri and seasonal aamras with puri, so there is plenty to explore beyond one main plate.

The experience suits families and larger gatherings particularly well. Diners describe spacious seating, children enjoying the food and staff explaining dishes while serving them at the table. A coeliac guest was given a separate gluten-free roti, although it is still sensible to mention allergies clearly when ordering.

The restaurant has also been used for special occasions and large groups. Expect variation, however. Recent reviews describe excellent dhokla, aloo bhajia, kadhi and hot phulkas, but also artificial-tasting aamras, dry paneer and puran poli.

Service feedback ranges from warm and attentive to serious lapses, including an unstaffed table and overlapping group bookings. The setting can be noisy, and parking may require a five-to-ten-minute walk. Check the current menu and booking situation before you go, especially for a big party.
