    From top - That pea snack, Dhokla and Papad
    Kumar V.

    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.

    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 offer 2. 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.

    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.

    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!

    We had thali on a weekday. It is unlimited, unlike other thaali places like thaal. It was absolutely delicious and didn't disappoint us! If you go there with minimal expectations it won't disappoint you! The service was pretty good and friendly. This is a vegetarian restaurant and can be offered vegan options upon request. We went around 6:30pm in the evening so it was not really busy but filled up pretty quickly. The platter was filling and thoughtfully served. Overall its a good experience and worth a try.

    Great place for Unlimited veg Thali in the East side. We visited them on a weekend evening and it was a great experience. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge about the menu were commendable. They were more than willing to explain the dishes. Service was prompt, and my Chaach (Yogurt drink) glass never once went empty. The array of dishes presented on stainless steel platter was a sight that took me back to India - It was a medley of colors and aromas and offered diverse selection of dishes from different part of the India. The selection of dishes they serve in Thali keep changing but this is what they served us Daal Baati Churma: This Rajasthani classic ( daal served with Dough balls (baati) with sweet churma )was okay. I wasn't impressed. Gujarati Kadhi: The kadhi was sour, with the right level of sweeteness Ghiya Chana Sabji: The ghiya chana sabji, made from bottle gourd and chickpeas, was a delightful surprise. It was really great. Paneer Sabji - Great north indian style cottage cheese dish Roti and Poori: The bread options were outstanding. The roti was soft and homemade style, while the poori was crispy and delightful. Aloo Chana: The blend of potatoes and chickpeas was a satisfying addition to the thali. For dessert they had Aam Ras and Kheer. The Aam Ras (Mango drink) was a delight with its sweet and refreshing mango flavor. The Kheer (Rice pudding) was creamy and comforting,. A great destination for veg Thali. I can't wait to return for another culinary adventure.

    All You Can Eat Thali (Weekday Dinner)
    Kimmy L.

    My Indian friend from Mumbai hyped me up for Radjahani when I told him I enjoyed Thali- a meal consisting of a selection of Indian dishes served on a large platter- at Chili's in U-District. Unlike Chili's and other Indian restaurants I've been to, this place serves only Northern Indian Thali and is an unlimited buffet. It is also 100% vegetarian and costs only about $22 (plus tax and tip) for weekday all you can eat dinner. As a disclaimer, I'm not Indian and so I apologize in advance that I don't know the names of many of the traditional foods served. According to my Indian friend, Rajdahani is a Northern Indian chain restaurant founded in the Mumbai area. The original has a long table where local workers would quickly come to eat. This long table was analogous to the Indian trains called Radjahani, hence the name of the restaurant. We were quickly seated upon arrival at a booth with large silver platters and cups in front of us. The waiter came over to fill our cups, one with water and one with buttermilk. He then came back with various breads including chipati and a fried bread similar to Navajo bread. He also brought a small slice of spiced cake with coriander and Khumen (I thought my friend meant cumin, but apparently it's a different Indian spice). The cake was fluffy and savory. The waiter also served us a cabbage and tomato salad and filled up the metal bowls on the platter with various curries including a spicy sour one, a creamy buttermilk with paneer, and a yellow lentil curry called Dal Fry served on top of some pieces of glutinous brown bread. Out of the bunch, I enjoyed the dal fry and spicy sour curry. The paneer was a little too rich for my preference and the glutinous brown bread was too dense for my taste. My friend reminded me to eat fast, because soon enough, the waiter came back with a refill of bread and lentils and then with white rice and a porridge made from lentils and rice. He also brought a dessert called Halva made from coconut, raisins, sugar, and semolina flour and little cups of canned mango blended with cream. I enjoyed the porridge which was also my friend's favorite dish. The dessert was too heavy and so I only ate a little bit of it. All the food was fresh and just kept on coming and coming. In terms of atmosphere, the restaurant is casual with colorful booths and decor. Bathrooms are clean. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere

    The vegan thali had paneer (bottom left). Paneer is cheese, and is dairy.

    Ask the Community - Rajdhani Thali Restaurant

    Do they offer outdoor dining options during covid?

    No The food makes you feel very drowsy.

    What is included in Take-out Thali? A list of items would be helpful before ordering.

    It's a vegetarian joint, 3 vegetables (one will have potatoes), 1 lentil, 4 roti (bread), rice and a sweet.

    Any Vegan options?

    Yes, there are vegan items. But the restaurant has fixed items in the plate, so they will serve you everything and you can obviously choose what not to take.

    How do they give the best service and food?

    I went here today after few months and I agree that the food and service have gone downhill. So to answer your question, no they don't give best food or service.

I rarely visit vegetarian restaurants, so I ordered based on the pictures on the menu. I wanted to try the Purple Yam Soup after the server confirmed that it would be very fulfilling, but they came back and said it wasn't available that day. We still enjoyed all the other dishes we ordered, though. The mango smoothie was also very refreshing. The restaurant was clean and cutely decorated. Parking was easy since there was a parking lot.

    I was traveling in a group of 6 to Renton, WA, and we stopped by Blossom Vegetarian as our first…read morestop in the Evergreen State. One member of the group is vegetarian, hence a reason why we ended up going to a vegetarian restaurant for our first meal during our trip. Blossom Vegetarian is located on the southwest corner of 3rd and Burnett. We came in three cars, and the lot immediately in front of the restaurant can only hold about a dozen cars. The adjacent lot has more spots, but all three of us were able to find spots easily when we arrived. That's likely because we had arrived a few minutes prior to opening, so the door was locked when I tried to open it. Right at 11 AM, an employee came out with a signicade to place in front of the front door. Shortly afterwards, we entered and sat at a table for 8, which I found kind of odd because they had tables of 4 and 8, but not 6. Our table had a sign advertising a limited time special, which was Hanoi Beef Fried Rice at the time*. However, we were interested in the lunch specials, which were available weekdays from 11 AM to 2 PM. Knowing that our schedule wouldn't have allowed for a lunch special any other time during our trip, we went for lunch specials, which mainly consists of rice combos. Rice combos at Blossom Cafe come with rice, either jasmine or brown, the latter of which would incur a $1 upcharge. The combo also includes an option for a juice or coffee, and if you choose either, you get $1 off. With plenty of rice combos to choose from, two of them chose the same lunch combo while the rest of us went with different lunch combos, but shared family-style with one another. I chose the Blossom Rice Combo, which consists of shredded "pork", tofu pie, "beef" skewer, and vegetables alongside a lime vinaigrette dressing. I'm not too certain of the other combos, but I do know that the Cashew Chicken was another combo, and that's because one of my groupmates heard it was their most popular dish. Since I prefer brown rice over white (jasmine) rice, I opted for the $1 upcharge for the brown rice. Between the coffee and the juice, I went with a coffee since I was needing some after a long morning of traveling. They have four choices of Vietnamese Coffee: Cheese Cafe, Cafe Latte, Dalgona Cafe, and Cafe Sua. I went with the Cafe Latte, which consists of both condensed and whole milk. The coffee drinks can come either hot or iced. For whatever reason, everybody else ordered the iced drinks, but I went with hot knowing I'd have to brave the pretty chilly weather outside. It took about 13 minutes for the kitchen to prepare our orders, and then we feasted! The coffee was ready about a minute before the main dishes arrived. Everything tasted good, but I wouldn't say great, though that's probably because I'm not vegetarian. However, rest assured that all their meats aren't real meat, and this is indicated by the use of quotation marks encompassing the meat names. You can definitely tell these meats are truly vegetarian, though it took a few bites for me to discern the vegetarianism of the "beef" skewer. The brown rice tasted kind of odd. I don't quite know how to describe it, but it was way different than the brown rice I'm used to e.g. Flame Broiler. The rice tasted pretty meh by itself, but exhibited a much more elevated flavor profile after adding the lime vinaigrette, which I'm thinking was actually a fish sauce. But that Cafe Latte was smoooooooooooth. Just what I needed after not getting enough z's the previous evening. Since I ordered mine hot, my coffee came in a mug while the others who ordered iced coffee got theirs in a wine glass. These coffees supplemented the glasses of water we were given when we placed our orders. Service, unfortunately, was quite slow, so exercise patience! We were the first customers to eat there, and there were a few others who came in after we did. We stayed there for over an hour even though I think we could have gotten in and out in much less time. They didn't really check on us even though there were very few other customers inside as well; I guess we were supposed to proactively go up to the counter to let them know when we were ready to order as well as pay. 2026 calendars were available for purchase at a cost of $20, cash only. I don't know how many people would constitute a "large" party, but we were considered one, which resulted in an 18% gratuity fee that was already added to our individual bills. One of our groupmates, who was fluent in Vietnamese, needed to let the server know prior to paying. So overall, Blossom Vegetarian is a decent spot for vegetarians; I just wouldn't recommend for a quick lunch break since service is nowhere near as quick. * My visit was back in November. I waited until January to post this review as I took a brief hiatus from posting reviews upon traveling to the Pacific Northwest.

This was on a Friday night at almost 6pm and my friend and I came in to a nearly empty interior that filled up throughout our stay. Is it just dinnertime that time or were my friend and I bringing in the crowds? You'll enjoy a very clean and well-kept restaurant with clean tables and chairs, with lighting that's very little but lights up the whole place well. Menu has a lot of offerings (both regular and vegetarian) but since it's dinnertime I decided on a rice dish as usual. I got their beef short ribs rice dish, which has their usual marinated short ribs with a fried egg and veggies. I actually liked how they offered their rice in a separate bowl, and everything else on one plate... which means the meat almost covered my whole plate! By the way, my friend got their grilled pork chop rice dish, and the meat also almost completely covered his plate. Both our meats were marinated so well and held in so much flavor, and came off their bones easily. We both agreed the grilled beef short rib dish I ordered was the winner because of the bolder and more defined marinated taste of the meat. I've tried so many Vietnamese restaurants and almost exclusively get their beef short ribs rice on the first visits of them, but this is the first time I've seen meat portions this huge for a rice dish. I'm thinking of coming back here for another visit even if I have to deal with the tight parking plaza this place is close to.

The only 2 drawbacks. for me was ... instead of pork belly, they use chicken, i think white meat cause the meat is very dry. The second is they don't offer a lot of fresh herbs with this dish.

I just found out on a recent visit that you can get a thali which is a terrific way to get various tastes but it is definitely large enough for two people to share. We used to patronize the Traveler's Thali House on Beacon Hill which closed years ago and I loved to get this combo. I would order this again for sure. Most of the time we take half our meal home to enjoy days later. Many other restaurants have oily food this place does not. I highly recommend you try it with friends. Their selection of Indian breads is like few other places I have seen. The owner is often there, and the staff is kind and welcoming. Yes, we highly recommend this place and have often started a fun conversation with other diners while visiting.
