Rajdhani Thali offers an immersive thali experience but the taste of food is pretty average. They serve around 14-15 items, ranging from multiple curries and daals to appetizers, desserts, and a variety of bread options. Everything is unlimited except for the desserts, which is a nice touch.One of my favorites is the aam ras, which is delicious. However, the overall taste of the dishes is pretty average. I remember once they served rabdi jalebi for dessert, but the amount of rabdi was quite minimal.The ambiance is great, making you feel like you're sitting in India enjoying a traditional thali. The staff is friendly and attentive, always quick to refill your food. Despite some taste inconsistencies, the overall experience and variety make it worth a visit.

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

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!

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.

Love love love this place. The food is always tasty, the service is always friendly and the atmosphere is great. The only problem is... that it kills my diet... I just can't stop eating!

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.

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 offer2. 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

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.

As a non-Indian, this was my first time eating thali. I didn't even know what thali was before coming here, I picked this place at random and assumed that it was just like any restaurant where you order a specific dish. The food was great and even my (extremely) picky younger sister was enjoying it. It was delicious and I would highly recommend this place for the food alone, but also the kindness and patience of the staff. I'm vegan, so I asked them to omit any dairy from my food while allowing dairy for the rest of my family. They were very accommodating and even made something just for me. The decorations are also nice. Overall, great business. Will be coming here again.
