RAJDHANI, PHOENIX MARKET CITY
I think the concept of such places was brought forward especially for people like me, who want to have EVERYTHING!!
This place is already quite famous and is well know for its Traditional Thalis. There are way too many items put on your plate and if you are a true blue bhukkad like me, you wouldn't know where to start, what to eat first. And trust me, I don't even remember half the dishes name that were served, thats how many varieties they serve, that even I couldn't keep track, just keep saying yes, to everything they serve, because everything is bursting with flavours of all kind.
The thing that impressed me most was that when you sit down, they automatically bring this traditional copper kind of jar and let your wash your hands on the spot ( wish i had got a capture of that) giving you that maharaja feel. ( I am in awe of the Jodha- Akbar Times ).
I am very confused about what do I mention about the food but here is my attempt to recall it all. The starters are like dal-bati-churma, the dhokla and a kind of kachori. There were 4-5 different types of rotis, and I dont even remember the names except for the bajra one. All I know is it all tastes good. Then the gujarati dal, the kadi both of which had a sweet tinge to it. chane ki sabzi, aloo, palak - all yum. Special mention to the paneer - because well its PANEER. Also, I loved the khichadi and the amount if ghee they serve you with it. I am not a khichadi fan, but I would be licking my fingers if it was not a sophisticated restaurant. Did I mention the Aamras??? Mango nectar in a bowl, what could be bad about it and my first mango of the season. The star of the meal was however the doodhi ka halwa. I have never had this before unfortunately, and for some reason doodhi and halwa seemed like a very odd combination to me, though I have heard about it. But I would very happily tell you how very wrong I was. Because I had 3 servings of this, even though by now I was so full. Finally, to wash it all down, the Butter milk aka Chhas!
So if like me, you like to have a little or a lot of everything, this is the place to GO!!
