Rajdhani Thali is easily one of the best thali meals you can get in Seattle, especially if you want that full traditional thali experience where the food keeps coming and you don't have to overthink ordering. We went as a family and the ambience felt warm and comfortable. Right when we entered, we were greeted by a gentleman who seemed like the owner, and after dinner we had a really nice conversation. That kind of hospitality is rare and it stood out. The thali is unlimited, and the staff comes around frequently to refill and ask what you want more of. The flavors overall are bold and satisfying. Standouts for me: * Khichdi (favorite) * Gujarati kadhi with khichdi: pure comfort food * Aamras: easily a highlight * Dal baati: exactly what I wanted * Paneer curry: solid and tasty The mix veg was average, but everything else more than made up for it. Service was helpful throughout and parking was easy with plenty of spots. If you love thali, this place is a must. read more

Rajdhani Thali Restaurant - Rajdhani Thali - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

I Was so excited to visit this place on my trip ,but was total disappointed this time ....Total mess up...Dhokla was served without chutney and Chaas was left on the corner of the table without being mentioned about it and whole time we thought it's water. Poori was totally cold....Second serving was no where and you keep looking for them. I would recommend them to revisit their menu and bring it more close to Rajasthani flavors and please please don't serve Punjabi dishes like Bharta with Rajasthani Tadka. read more

Service has gone downhill. They forgot to bring half of the stuff on time. It seems more of a North Indian restaurant than Rajasthani. Menu itself is all messed up for Rajasthani Thali. Better to skip. read more

Got the weekend bottomless thali and the food was varied, delicious, and well-spiced. Service was impeccable with waiters checking in with us to replenish frequently. I wish the place was a little warmer and the lights were just a little dimmer to make the space feel nicer for dinner. Otherwise, highly recommend! read more

This restaurant has gone downhill since they started. They take forever to serve and have to wait in the middle the meal to get any food even when restaurant is half empty. Food is ok but don't expect second servings. read more

Rajdhani is known for vegetarian and Western Indian food - so expect Gujrati and Rajasthani cuisines. When you are going for unlimited Thali or Buffet, you have to expect items would be hit or miss. This is my 3rd time visiting the restaurant and they always make adjustments to their menu based on festivals and seasons. But they always have a few items on their menu. You will always find Gujrati curry, Dal Bhatti Churma, butter milk, khichdi, Dhokla, Aamras, Poori and Roti. Among these Gujrati curry, Dhokla, Aamras and butter milk are always excellent. This time they had a Diwali menu. Not very sure what was different but they definitely had more desserts. They are serving Balushahi and Mal Pua currently. Mal Pua is excellent while Balushahi was a little underwhelming. They also had a pea filled snack, almost like a Kachori (forgot the name) which I really loved ! Their service is quick and fast but can get slow at times when the restaurant is crowded. Otherwise they are very friendly - and if you liked something ask more of it, they will get it for you. Ambience is good - will give you Rajasthani vibes. But I have been to Rajdhani in India and they tend to be more elegant. However I am not sure if they are the same franchise. read more

I have been to Rajdhani Thali several times for their traditional thali experience and in my opinion it is a decent pick if you want to relish some traditional Indian (Rajasthani and Gujrati) food. 1. The overall quality of the food is above average but pretty expensive for the quality of the food they offer 2. Service is fast and efficient and the restaurant has a typical Indian vibe, it can be noisy at times 3. It is advisable to make reservations in advance 4. They keep changing their Thali menu before every weekend and usually publish it on their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/rajdhaniseattle?mibextid=LQQJ4d read more

This place is unique for sure! There's not a lot of unlimited thali places in the east side (thaal is the only other one but at 45 bucks for an unlimited thali, its steep). Note that this isn't affiliated with any of the Rajdhanis in india or anywhere else. The menu changes every weekend so you have to check out the Facebook page for the current menu. With tax, it ends up coming to just over $30 per person. My favorite was the aloo tiki chat and the lassi -- the paneer curry seemed very oily and my guess is that's their strat to get people full and cut costs. The service is ok but the employees do not speak a great deal of English. You'll sorta have to point at the dishes you want refilled. We went at 6pm and there wasn't a crowd (only 3 other tables occupied) so service wasn't as bad as some of the other revives mention. We never got water refilled. Overall the service is passable but I can see how it can be a bad experience when the restaurant is crowded. This is a great place to go if you want rajisthani style food thali style -- make sure to checkout the Facebook page to see what you're getting yourself into. read more

Such a fun experience! Wonderful service, VIP, and delicious food for a reasonable price. We of course did the several course meal, it was so filling and fun! Highly recommend. Only drawback in atmosphere is a bit bright so better for a family experience than a romantic one, but other than that, fantastic! read more

I have been visiting this place from couple of years to taste their thali. They keep changing few items in the thali every weekend. Had been there on last day of 2023. The special thaali had peas soup which was amazing. Most items were their regular ones. They had 3 types of sweets one of which was Rasmalai and it was hard. All other items were pretty good. The service was quick. It's an unlimited thaali and we can ask for refills if we like any item and they served us pretty quick. Every thaali is around $28. read more

I was worried when i saw how empty the dining area was at Noon today. But my friend and i were seated shortly and then a minute later the dishes started coming. Curries, dals, breads, sweet refreshing drinks...They kept coming. We read in a review that we should come hungry and I'm glad we did. This place did not disappoint. there's no menu for this kind of meal and everything was so good!! I told them i was vegan which they instantly accommodated without missing a beat. It wasn't a cheap lunch. $30 per person including a tip. But it was worth it. By the time our leisurely meal ended an hour later, the dining area had started to fill up and my friend and I vowed to return next time with our wives. read more

Food was great! Love the concept! It is a vegetarian only restaurant. It is a buffet style except the servers serve you at the table. Very traditional, highly suggest! read more

Rajdhani Thali Restaurant - Thali - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

We had thali on a weekday. It is unlimited, unlike other thaali places like thaal. It was absolutely delicious and didn't disappoint us! If you go there with minimal expectations it won't disappoint you! The service was pretty good and friendly. This is a vegetarian restaurant and can be offered vegan options upon request. We went around 6:30pm in the evening so it was not really busy but filled up pretty quickly. The platter was filling and thoughtfully served. Overall its a good experience and worth a try. read more

Great place for Unlimited veg Thali in the East side. We visited them on a weekend evening and it was a great experience. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge about the menu were commendable. They were more than willing to explain the dishes. Service was prompt, and my Chaach (Yogurt drink) glass never once went empty. The array of dishes presented on stainless steel platter was a sight that took me back to India - It was a medley of colors and aromas and offered diverse selection of dishes from different part of the India. The selection of dishes they serve in Thali keep changing but this is what they served us Daal Baati Churma: This Rajasthani classic ( daal served with Dough balls (baati) with sweet churma )was okay. I wasn't impressed. Gujarati Kadhi: The kadhi was sour, with the right level of sweeteness Ghiya Chana Sabji: The ghiya chana sabji, made from bottle gourd and chickpeas, was a delightful surprise. It was really great. Paneer Sabji - Great north indian style cottage cheese dish Roti and Poori: The bread options were outstanding. The roti was soft and homemade style, while the poori was crispy and delightful. Aloo Chana: The blend of potatoes and chickpeas was a satisfying addition to the thali. For dessert they had Aam Ras and Kheer. The Aam Ras (Mango drink) was a delight with its sweet and refreshing mango flavor. The Kheer (Rice pudding) was creamy and comforting,. A great destination for veg Thali. I can't wait to return for another culinary adventure. read more

Stopped here to have thali after a great hike in Tiger Mountain and the food is so tasty! It's all vegetarian, the service is really prompt and there was no wait to be seated arriving about 2pm on a Sunday. Parking was easy and restrooms are clean which is always a great sign. They also offered complimentary chai to go which was so good. It is all you can eat so bring your apetite. I can never do seconds so it ends up being a bit pricey for me but still so worth it. I'll be back for sure. read more

Rajdhani Thali Restaurant - Thali - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

The service was honestly unacceptable. There were only two other tables in the restaurant, but the staff clearly prioritized them and ignored us most of the time. The waiter barely communicated with me or my family, and when we politely asked about the thali being unlimited like they advertised he actually got annoyed and acted like it was our fault for expecting what was promised. The food was okay, and I appreciated that it was pure vegetarian, but the portions were ridiculously small. At one point, we had four curries sitting there with no rice to eat them with. We had to keep asking for basic things, and even then, they barely served us. The "unlimited" thali was a joke. For how expensive it was, this experience was just not worth it. The staff needs to seriously work on their communication, their attitude, and most of all, how they treat paying customers. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed. read more

My Indian friend from Mumbai hyped me up for Radjahani when I told him I enjoyed Thali- a meal consisting of a selection of Indian dishes served on a large platter- at Chili's in U-District. Unlike Chili's and other Indian restaurants I've been to, this place serves only Northern Indian Thali and is an unlimited buffet. It is also 100% vegetarian and costs only about $22 (plus tax and tip) for weekday all you can eat dinner. As a disclaimer, I'm not Indian and so I apologize in advance that I don't know the names of many of the traditional foods served. According to my Indian friend, Rajdahani is a Northern Indian chain restaurant founded in the Mumbai area. The original has a long table where local workers would quickly come to eat. This long table was analogous to the Indian trains called Radjahani, hence the name of the restaurant. We were quickly seated upon arrival at a booth with large silver platters and cups in front of us. The waiter came over to fill our cups, one with water and one with buttermilk. He then came back with various breads including chipati and a fried bread similar to Navajo bread. He also brought a small slice of spiced cake with coriander and Khumen (I thought my friend meant cumin, but apparently it's a different Indian spice). The cake was fluffy and savory. The waiter also served us a cabbage and tomato salad and filled up the metal bowls on the platter with various curries including a spicy sour one, a creamy buttermilk with paneer, and a yellow lentil curry called Dal Fry served on top of some pieces of glutinous brown bread. Out of the bunch, I enjoyed the dal fry and spicy sour curry. The paneer was a little too rich for my preference and the glutinous brown bread was too dense for my taste. My friend reminded me to eat fast, because soon enough, the waiter came back with a refill of bread and lentils and then with white rice and a porridge made from lentils and rice. He also brought a dessert called Halva made from coconut, raisins, sugar, and semolina flour and little cups of canned mango blended with cream. I enjoyed the porridge which was also my friend's favorite dish. The dessert was too heavy and so I only ate a little bit of it. All the food was fresh and just kept on coming and coming. In terms of atmosphere, the restaurant is casual with colorful booths and decor. Bathrooms are clean. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere read more

Rajdhani Thali Restaurant - All You Can Eat Thali (Weekday Dinner) - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Great service. Good quantity of food - very simple gujarati and other vegetarian dishes.

I ordered a vegan thali for pick up and it had paneer in it. We drove 40+ minutes. We made it clear multiple times over the phone and at pick up we wanted a vegan meal. When I called to let the restaurant know our meal had paneer, I was told that no one knew who took my order. Be careful if you have dietary restrictions (vegan, Jain, etc). Vegan means no animal products including dairy by-products like cheese, ghee, milk, butter, and yogurt. I'd pass on this restaurant if you have any dietary restrictions, as they do not take it seriously and don't seem to give a shit they wasted your time and money, yet advertise having vegan options. read more

Amazing food with lot of flavours. I would recommend Dal Bati Churma, the food is not much spicy. Service is great.

This is our second time here and the quality of food and service is steadily degrading. They make customers wait for dishes for a long time and it is served out of sequence. Either you'll have roti without sidedishes or you'll only get sidedishes and have to wait for roti. The cleanliness of the utensils is appalling. We spotted our water glasses dirty and asked to change atleast 3 times and was only given clean glasses nearly 40 minutes later. The food was sub standard and definitely didn't justify the high price. To top it all off the management give zero importance to the ambience. While we were eating, a guy came and started cleaning the tablet with extreme smelling chemicals that was both unpleasant and uncomfortable. Soon after he started vacuuming continuously. We couldn't hear each other and it really felt like eating inside a BROOM CLOSET. Please do yourselves a favour and spend your money where it's worth. read more

Place was closing soon and saw that DoorDash was available. Jumped on the their most popular Rajdhani Thali To Go (combo vegetarian dish) and was happy it wasn't too spicy! :-) They wrapped it tightly with plastic to keep the other foods from crossing borders. Wonderful flavors in every bite and would like to dine in next time to see their other fancy tasting morsels. Gujarat India is now on my bucket list when I get back to India. read more

Awesome food and a very warm and friendly staff. The decor is colorful and welcoming! One of our favorites places to dine at !

After a day of fasting for Karwa chauth yesterday, I last minute looked online for a place that sold vegetarian Indian food. I was in the mood for simple veggie comfort food. I came across this place right here on YELP. The reviews were great so we booked our table for 8:30pm. Since we got the last table, I thought I'd call to ask if they were open past 9pm (closing) or if we only had 30 mins to eat, each time I tried calling several times and it didn't go through. Hence the FOUR stars. Please make it easier to contact you, whether on Instagram messenger, email or phone call.. your customers should have a way to contact you. This place truly deserve five stars. As soon as we got there, our table was ready and food started coming out right away. Even with a late booking, the roti, puri was made fresh.. each dish was so tasty and our servers were so so kind! I can't wait to come back. Amras, Puri, Daal Makhni, Sooji ka halwa, Dhokla and so much more. Really nice! read more

Updated review on 10/23 Have been here many times in the past but today was the first time here post COVID. The restaurant was fairly less crowded when we got there but service was still slow. What put me off was the fact that the number of dishes served was so much lesser compared to the usual but the price was the same. I get that there might be lesser crowd considering the pandemic and hence fewer staff and fewer options on the thaali. But if you are going to serve lesser food, reduce the price accordingly too , to keep customer trust. Soooooo not worth the $$. Won't be coming here again read more

Food is somewhere between average to terrible; been here several times so quality is all over the spectrum. Service is possibly the worst. Don't go hungry! You are going to wait for 20/25 minutes and start getting hangry. They serve you appetizers once you are seated. It takes 10-15 minutes to serve the curries and puri/rotis. Another 25 minutes for rice; I had to ask three times if they were going to get rice/pulao, they finally brought it. Don't know if this place is understaffed. Not sure if I want to waste my time and money here ever again! read more

This place is incredible! The staff are incredibly friendly and the food is delicious! My partner and I both had the Thali which is essentially a sampler of several dishes endemic to Rajdhani. You owe it to yourself to take someone and try this place! read more

Ambience....awful dirty floors shabbily dressed up servers. Host busy with his iPad scrolling no greeting incoming customers one has to go up to the counter to get his attention. Food..flat 35$per person..a metal thaali served in batches in no relevant order no meat no a la carte orders a buffet but you get what gets served no seconds except 2 types of bread. Overall too pricey service decor awful. Food would be average for a non Indian could be interesting bottom line by all standards not worth $35... maybe $12-15. Host/owner just seems Lucy hopefully not for long...needs to stop asking do you have a reservation and getting upset if you don't one of the hundreds of amends needed read more

Eating vegetarian the Thali way! It's like a mini buffet that comes to you of Indian curries/sauces around the rice and sides on individual round metal platters (Traditional was on a banana leaf.) Servers come by and place or fill the Katori short metal bowls and platter with these items. Can ask for extras of anything Wished they had a pictorial guide and descriptions for each item they were serving. So here are some explanations. 1. Pakoras -veg fritters with chickpea flour (aka gram or besan) 2. Dhokla*-steamed cake 3. Salad & pickles 4. Chutney -sweet, sour, or spicy vinegary condiment of fruit & veg. Nice with spicy curries 5. Papad -deep fried round flat cracker 6. Phulka -a type of roti/chapati; whole wheat flatbread that puffs in the oven 7. Poori*-deep fried puffed whole wheat bread to have with curries (or sweets) 8. Dal* -a stew-like curry of split legumes (including lentils, peas, beans) 9. Chaas -yogurt turned spiced buttermilk drink 10. Amras (have with pooris)-sweetened mango purée dessert Located -in the plaza on the north side of NW Gilman Blvd & 7th Ave NW read more

Rajdhani Thali Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

The only best thing that happened to us moving here from LA is the Indian food which we so badly crave. I am not sure if this is a chain restaurant from the one in Artesia, CA. They have ample of parking space available. They do ask you to make a reservation on their Facebook page, on which they do mention their weekly menu for the thali. I was so excited to see the menu cause the one in Artesia does not even have half of the good items available as they have. They have plenty of sitting available inside plus a few outside. The only difference from their Thali in weekdays versus the weekends is that they do not serve Dal, Batti in their weekday ones other all is the same. The thali experience in India is so good, I used to wonder if it could be matched here, I mean its not the same but you wont be disappointed. So about the food, its gooodd, I mean the food is more on the milder side but tasty none the less. The only thing that was shocking was the price its $25 per person. Which in LA is $15 for unlimited food with the same amount of variety in the menu per person. read more

It was our first time here. We went thinking a thali place would be faster service. We sat for 35 mins waiting to be served but no one bothered. If you want even a moderately fast service, avoid this place. read more
