Rajdhani, Vegetarian restaurant in Bangalore North, India
Rajdhani is a vegetarian restaurant in Bangalore North that serves western Indian thali meals. Food arrives on a large round tray lined with small bowls, each holding a different dish, alongside bread and rice.
The Rajdhani chain started in Gujarat and brought the region's traditional thali meal to cities across India. The Bangalore location is part of that expansion, serving the same style of cooking that the brand built its name on.
The thali format served here comes from Gujarat and Rajasthan in western India, where eating from a large shared tray has been part of daily meals for centuries. Each small bowl on the tray holds a different preparation, so a single sitting covers a wide range of flavors.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and midday tends to draw the most visitors, so arriving early in the service window helps avoid a wait. Staff will keep refilling every dish on the tray until you place your hand over it or signal that you are done.
The name Rajdhani means "capital city" in Hindi, a reference to the royal tradition of welcoming guests with an abundance of food. That idea of generous hosting is what drives the practice of refilling every course until the guest declines.
