What to Eat at Rasoi Ghar 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 Rasoi Ghar 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Rasoi Ghar Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Arrive early. For a quieter visit and a better chance of avoiding a queue, consider arriving before noon, especially at weekends.
Check the menu. Ask what is being served that day before settling in, since the fixed thali menu changes daily and a favourite dish may not appear.
Expect a feast. Come hungry: the meal is served in courses with refills, including breads, rice and desserts rather than a small single plate.
Choose seating. If you prefer a conventional chair, request table seating; otherwise, the cushion-and-low-table arrangement is available.
Plan access. Anyone who finds stairs difficult should check access ahead, as a review mentions four or five steps to the upper-ground-floor restaurant.
Consider parking. A review describes the restaurant as opposite Burjuman Mall with ample parking around, useful context when planning a visit by car.

Common Concerns
Thali only
The restaurant may not suit light eaters: one reviewer wanted just a chapati and sabzi but found the full thali the only option.
Uneven flavours
One otherwise positive review found similar flavour profiles across the thali and described some main-course vegetables as slightly bland.
Hygiene concern
A serious isolated complaint reported finding a cockroach in a paneer dish, after which the reviewer left immediately.
Possible waits
The restaurant can be busy at peak times; reviews mention a queue, full seating and one report of slow service.
Stair access
The restaurant is on an upper ground floor and one review notes that reaching it involves climbing four or five stairs.

The Bottom Line
Rasoi Ghar is a vegetarian Indian restaurant in Bur Dubai centred on an unlimited thali rather than an à la carte meal. You can expect a changing spread of Gujarati and Rajasthani dishes, with starters such as dhokla, breads including poori, several curries and dals, rice dishes, drinks and sweets served in stages with refills. The main draw is variety.
Reviews mention Gujarati thali, Marwadi dal and kadhi, aam ras with puri, malpua with rabdi and dry-fruit halwa. Servers commonly keep checking for refills, and some guests appreciated having dishes explained as they arrived. Seating includes ordinary tables as well as cushion seating around a low table, giving the meal a more traditional feel.
The restaurant has also handled family celebrations and meal boxes for home functions. There are a few practical caveats. The fixed-menu format may be poor value if you only want one chapati and a sabzi, and some diners found the vegetables bland or the flavours too similar.
One serious review reported a cockroach in a paneer dish, so hygiene standards have not been flawless. It can get busy around lunch; arriving before noon may help. The venue is on an upper ground floor with four or five stairs, while a review places it opposite Burjuman Mall with parking around.
