Khandani Rajdhani in Karama offers a focused experience for lovers of authentic vegetarian Indian cuisine, with a particular emphasis on Rajasthani and Gujarati flavors. Situated on the ground floor of Al Khafajy Building along Zaa'beel Street, the restaurant's atmosphere strikes a balance between family-friendly warmth and a touch of refined dining, making it suitable for both casual weekday meals and weekend gatherings.

The dining experience here centers around the traditional thali, a beautifully arranged platter that brings together a wide variety of dishes — from hearty dals and seasonal sabjis to freshly made phulkas and distinctive specialty items like their Rajdhani Special Dal Baati Churma combo. Meals are not just about eating but also about appreciating the region's culinary heritage, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and often explained by attentive staff right at your table.

Families and groups who enjoy sharing and sampling a range of vegetarian dishes will find the set meal boxes particularly convenient, especially the working and special meal options that offer generous portions without fuss. The venue’s steady flow of locals, including those with children, points to its reputation for consistent quality and a welcoming environment where everyone can linger over flavorful food without feeling rushed.

Visiting Khandani Rajdhani during lunch or early dinner hours allows guests to relax into the rhythm of its service, which includes traditional touches like a welcome with rose sherbat and hand wash before meals. The presence of dishes such as moong dal cigar with shrikhand and trepla paneer 65 tacos suggests a menu that respects regional classics while adding slight contemporary twists — a detail that adds to the engaging culinary journey.

Staff friendliness and a hospitable vibe underline the meal, reinforcing an experience that goes beyond the food. The layout and service approach work well for families celebrating occasions or anyone with an interest in exploring vegetarian Indian cuisine with an emphasis on authenticity rather than fusion trends. Khandani Rajdhani feels less like a spot for a quick bite and more like a place to enjoy a full meal that tells a story through each component of the thali.

Rajdhani truly brings the taste of India’s Rajasthan and Gujarat to Dubai! The experience started with a welcome hand wash and rose sherbat, followed by delicious chaat and a grand thali filled with endless dishes — each full of flavor and variety. The thepla, paneer capsicum, Gujarati dal, moong masala and aloo rasawala were my favorites. Don’t even get me started on the desserts — jalebi with rabdi and kaju halwa were divine. The ambience is royal yet cozy, and the staff is super attentive and friendly. A must-visit for anyone missing home-style Indian food. And the best part its unlimited, you can order any dish for as many rounds as you want. Worth every penny.

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Rajdhani Restaurant in Karama and trying their authentic Rajasthani Thali – what an unforgettable culinary experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and traditional hospitality that set the tone for an incredible meal. The thali itself was a royal feast-a colorful, flavorful journey through Rajasthan with every dish prepared to perfection. The balance of spices, the variety, and the freshness were simply outstanding. Every bite told a story of tradition and passion for Indian cuisine. A special thank you to the entire staff for their exceptional service- courteous, attentive, and always smiling. We would especially like to mention Mr. Pratheesh, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable dining experience. His hospitality truly stood out and added a personal touch to our visit. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic Indian thali experience in Dubai. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Their Sunday menus are always yummy & unique every week . We really had our tummy’s full . My kids love it from their lil kiddo days. The variety and quality is unmatched . Their hospitality is worth mentioning. It’s always a pleasure to visit with family and friends. The prices are also so reasonable. Totally recommend

I could not believe the price for the Thali at Rajdhani restaurant in Karama, Dubai. For only 56 dirhams. I was served an absolute feast of a Thali. The thali consisted of 25 vegetarian Indian dishes with a welcome drink water and buttermilk included in the price. The waiters constructed my Thali at my table and explained what every dis was. Throughout the meal i was asked if I wanted extra of any of the dishes, but it was so huge I could not eat any more! I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and it’s a good way to try new dishes. Everyone was so friendly I was made to feel very welcome. I will definitely be returning again soon.
