What to Eat at Rajkot Veg 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 Rajkot Veg Restaurant, 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
Find upstairs. Look for SkyView Hotel and check the mezzanine level; one reviewer said the restaurant is easy to walk past.
Try thali. For a first visit, consider the Gujarati thali; reviewers describe it as proper Gujarati-style and satisfying.
Check delivery. If ordering a full thali for delivery, check the contents on arrival because one customer received only a partial order.
Check hygiene. If cleanliness is important, check the washroom and washbasin area when you arrive; feedback on upkeep is mixed.
Book catering. For events, ask about live pani puri, chola bhatura and gola stations; a customer also used a popcorn machine for a birthday.

The Bottom Line
Rajkot Veg Restaurant is a Deira option for pure-vegetarian Gujarati and Kathiyawadi food near the Gold Souk. The main draw is regional comfort food: diners mention the Gujarati thali, pani puri, vagharelo rotlo and vatidar khaman, with several saying the flavours reminded them of home. The thali is the clearest first order.
One reviewer particularly liked the Gujarati kadhi, while another praised aam ras and Dal Bhatti Churma. Staff are often described as polite and welcoming, and one customer reported waiting only about 10 minutes. Families and friends have found the seating comfortable, and catering customers mention live pani puri, chola bhatura and gola stations.
There are a few reasons to be careful. Portions felt small to some diners, and one delivery order arrived with only one curry, two puri and rice instead of the expected full thali. Hygiene feedback is inconsistent: some reviews call the restaurant clean, while another reports a plastic piece in a jamun shot and dirty washroom and washbasin areas.
One reviewer also raised a serious concern about a mango shake allegedly sourced from a non-vegetarian cafeteria, so diners with strict vegetarian requirements may want to clarify preparation details before ordering.
