Tips for a Better Visit

Try Afghani. Order the Afghani Paneer Tikka if you want the dish most specifically praised by vegetarian diners.

Ask Crispy. For the Cheese Garlic Butter Naan, ask for it crispy and cut into small bite-size pieces.

The Bottom Line

Raj Bhavan is a pure vegetarian restaurant in Al Mankhool with a menu that moves between North Indian, South Indian and some Chinese dishes. The clearest reason to consider it is the thali selection: diners mention both North Indian thali and South Indian thali, with one family pleased that the two versions had genuinely different vegetable items rather than minor variations. There are plenty of specific dishes to explore beyond the thalis.

Afghani Paneer Tikka is repeatedly recommended, while reviews also mention Cheese Garlic Butter Naan, Rava Masala Dosa, Paneer Manchurian and Kesari Bath. The setting is described as warm, peaceful and comfortable, and several reviews say service is quick, with food arriving hot even when the restaurant is crowded. Families with children are reportedly handled well, and drivers mention ample or plentiful paid parking.

There are a couple of cautions. One diner found the North Indian thali small for its price, with barely half a glass of buttermilk, no sweet and little flavour. Another reported rude service and thali items that were promised but not delivered.

For a first visit, ask what the thali includes and request the naan crispy and cut into small pieces.
