    This is a vegetarian Thali restaurant but we went for the evening High Tea which is from 3pm to 7pm and it serves a fixed price menu for a choice of three snacks from the menu plus the tea or coffee for Rs75 or individual items priced at about Rs20 - Rs25 each and the drinks (Tea, coffee or cold drinks) are extra!!! Nice atmosphere!!! Very good food!!! Also very famous for it's vegetarian 'Thali' buffet lunch and dinner!!! Try it out for a change!!! You will love it!!!

  • Luckily, someone was able to lead me to this small restaurant in the impossibly crowded Crawford Market so I could get my fill of great Gujarati thali. Not fancy, no silverware, and delicious. Check the website to see what's on the menu today!

    On a busy day, you may want to call ahead for a table since the place is very small--however, it’s also very casual and I doubt you’d have to wait long in any case. No tourists, not a lot of English spoken, but since this is a thali place you don’t need it.

    Thali is a particular style of eating that's popular in many parts of India, particularly the south and the west. You don't order anything, just sit down and wait for your big plate (or banana leaf) to get loaded with small quantities of dozens of dishes by the waiters cruising the restaurant. Try not to eat too fast, because those waiters are hovering around waiting for you to finish any item so they can replenish it on your plate! And don't forget that there's dessert at the end! You can really, really overeat in a thali restaurant...take it from one who's done it way too many times.

    Rajdhani served us a huge variety of vegetarian dishes: cabbage with peas, kadi (sweetish yogurt-based sauce), khichdi (split peas and rice), sweet masoor dal, mung dal, potato stew, potato samosas, a spicy orange-colored dal, various chutneys and pickled beets, kedgeree rice, plain rice, papads, and four different kinds of breads (sweet small wheat cakes, spicy flat pancakes with herbs, whole wheat chapattis, and puffy rotis fresh out of the pan). One thing I hadn’t seen before was cubes of what seemed to be idli bread, with sesame seeds. We washed it all down with buttermilk and finished up with rasgulla. Wow. Once again, I had to roll out the door.

  • This is the equivalent of the all-u-can eat buffets of the west except that someone serves you at the table until you tell them to stop. The food is very tasty, plentifull and fun to eat.

    Everything is good !

    This place serves only Gujarati Thalis so there is no choice in ordering what you want but you can select what you want in the thali once you get all the items in it and take more of what you like most amongst the seven different things they offer on your plate in small bowls that make up your thali. The service is unlimited food that is kept on being served to you regardless of how much you have eaten and unless you tell them to stop they will keep on serving you and keep all the bowls full. The place is airconditioned and nicely done up with a lot of old brass pots and artefacts on the walls. Great food and nice ambience with six to eight people all waiting to serve you all the different items continuously till you can have no more!!! Cooked in a very hygeinic way and served in shining stainless steel thalis you are pampered with a lot of good food till you are ready to drop dead with all the good food in your stomach!!! At Rs130 per thali it is a very good priced offer for someone who lives to eat or loves to eat!!! The timings are from 11am to 3pm for lunch and 7pm to 10pm for dinner (Closed on Sunday evenings). All Thaker Bhojanalay tip pictures courtesy: Navinkurian2002@VT.

    There is only one thing you can order here ..... the Thali!!! It is a plate with a lot of different small bowls with all the different types of dishes served one after the other and kept on being served till you protest and say no!!! The serving is unlimited and continuous so you really have to tell them to stop very firmly if you don't want to waste the food in your plate. There is a lot of vegetables and dal varieties along with the chapati, phulkas, jowar and bajra rotis besides the rice and khichdi that you can try from and then take more once you know which you like or have them all till you are full!!! A glass of buttermilk is also served. There is a sweet dish selection as well with atleast four to five different sweet dishes like Shrikhand, Rasmalai, Rasgolla, Gulab Jamun and you can choose what you want. The water is only served from mineral water bottles. The place has a small dining area so not too many tables out there so come early if you don't want to wait in queue to get in.

  • Directions: It is on the first floor of an old building with a tailors shop at the entrance. The road is very narrow so it is preferable to walk than take a car or taxi. It is a popular place so just ask anyone on the road and you will be guided to the place easily.

    A vegetarian restaurant at the back side of the Prince of Wales Museum (Colaba), famous for its THALIS, served in a round tray, including rice, chapati, a variety of vegetable dishes and dessert. They keep serving you more food as you finish it, until you say "stop, please". Lots of public officials go there to have lunch.

    They have a book store and art gallery as well.

  • reasonable charges and no fuss

    The gujrati thali. this is an indian meal, comprising of starters (samosas, dhokla and the like), soup, chapatis or rotis (indian bread), rice, dal (lentil curry), 4-5 vegetable curries, yoghurt and buttermilk. all the items are unlimited and extremely tasty. one of the best meals you can enjoy in the city. warning!! one feels extremely contented with life after a meal here. the place is packed for lunch on weekdays as the office goers in the city throng there for lunch

  • Rajdhani-for a nice(and huge!)Gujarati thali(literally-a steel plate filled with Gujrati food)
    Well,all you can possibly eat is served to you on that thali.(Thalis are their specialty,so I dont think there's anything else to eat)
    Oh yeah,and the food is unlimited,and the thali costs just about Rs 125-150.

    Aamras(a mango dessert)-which you'll get only in summer-ah..the sweltering heat has some pluses too!:)

  • The restaurant actually has no decor , the area around is not very appeasing but the Food is most amazing and the price .. no one can beat !! for just a Dollar , yes 1$ for an unlimited buffet of Indian food . Which has 2 starters , 4 main dishes , 2 dals , buttermilk , sweet dish , all included . U can also choose from his special sweet dishes - try the shri khand , puran poli (only on wed , sat) . Also ask for his dal bhakri which must be crumbled and had with dal ( the spicier one ) . Also ask for bajri roti which is a special roti made out of Bajra flour ( a kind of grain grown in north india)

    Sunday has a special menu - worth trying.

    jalebi - only on Sun ( when the price increases by 40c )
