What to Eat at Raj Mahal Restaurant 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 Raj Mahal Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.

Royal special meal box Net −1
“I recently ordered the Royal Special Meal Box from Raj Mahal, and I must say, it was one of the most disappointing food experiences I’ve had. The food was *incredibly salty*—so much so that it was completely inedible. Every curry in the meal box was overpowered by salt, making it impossible to taste any of the actual flavors or spices.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Arrive hungry. The portions and refills are substantial, so go with an empty stomach if you want to make the most of the unlimited thali.
Check pricing. Past reviews quote different thali prices, including AED 54, so confirm the current rate and any discount before ordering.
Plan parking. Basement parking is available, but slots may be limited, so allow extra time if you are driving during a busy period.
Choose carefully. If ordering out, consider checking the specific dish first: one review particularly disliked the Undhiyu and Puri combo.

The Bottom Line
Raj Mahal Restaurant in Al Mankhool is a pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant focused on Gujarati and Rajasthani thali dining. The main draw is the unlimited Royal Thali: reviews describe 25 to 30-plus items covering appetisers, curries, dal, kadhi, rice, breads, drinks and desserts. There is also a live chaat station, with pani puri and dahi puri, before or alongside the meal.
The experience leans heavily toward generous service and a palace-themed setting. Diners mention warm welcomes, staff explaining the dishes, quick refills of breads and attentive table checks. The restaurant is spacious enough for family dinners and larger gatherings, and its peaceful seating is often paired with favourites such as aamras, moong dal halwa, mango lassi and kulfi.
It is around 700 metres from BurJuman Metro Station, with basement parking mentioned by several reviewers. There are a few cautions. Parking spaces may be limited, and one review found the basement messy.
Food quality is not perfectly consistent: a Royal Special Meal Box was described as excessively salty, while an Undhiyu and Puri takeaway was strongly criticised. Prices in older reviews vary, so confirm the current thali rate and discounts before visiting. Going hungry is sensible—the refills are part of the point.
