If you are looking for an average quick-fix gujarati thaali, well, Rajdhaani could fit the bill just fine. The charge is a little over the top, especially since they(quite obnoxiously) charge separately for the sweets and the paan. Nevertheless, I see Rajdhaani as a place I can frequent say once in 3-5 months.
The place is well maintained, has an average deco, and some soulful instrumental music playing in the background. There is an attempt to take things to the Nawabi plane, what with the wash basin brought to your table! But the Nawab era ends just there - what followed was pretty average.
On the plate, you can expect a riot of food - mine started off with a spoonful of salad, 2 chutneys, dhokla, corn roll. There were 4 types of vegetables, 2 dals and 1 kadhi served. Then came in the roti, thepla and biscuit bhakari. I found the biscuit bhakari to be pretty much the highlight, hard on the outside, crispy on the inside with a sweet lingering taste. Then there was the khichadi and plain rice served. Along with this the mandatory, buttermilk. We had 2 types of sweets - god puri and rasogullas.
Well, all in all, this spread for 250(excluding sweets - which would cost another 26) is worth a shot if you need a break from the regular eat-outs - but just that. I dont see it as a regular joint that I can pig out at.
