Best Thali restaurant ~

hellsbellsbaby

where do you reckon I'll get the best thali whilst in Jaipur .

Not bothered if it's veg or non-veg just want it to be heavenly .

If you have any prices too then share them....it's good to get some kind of an idea .

I've seen that the chain Rajdhani have a place here too , is it worth checking out theirs , or will I find better elsewhere

Might be a better idea to ask the hotel you are staying and also contingent upon your budget. Make sure it's the best. There should be plenty around serving the vegetarian 4 course fare.

there is one place called "LMB" laxmi misthan bhandar, i think located in johri bazar or main bazar.It is very famous there any one will direct you on asking.It is pure veg. I do not like food here as they do not use any onion or garlic in preprations.but this place is hyped very much there for thali they serve.For me no value for money.

I liked the Thali at Chokhi Dhani.... But it's pure Rajasthani Style food and not everybody may like it.

I am yet to visit here, but is this place not 17 km away from jaipur.LMB has some thing to do with Jain food.

delhiwala

I had one lunch at LMB also, but I regret it.

Food was nothing great, just average and it was way too pricey. Service was bad.... I think the success has gone to their head...

cityMONK

Exactly my words, you find your self cheated there.My cousin lost his digital camera in LMB , i strongly suspect waiters are paid peanuts there.

Kadhi pakora has no taste without onion garlics, and this is their speciality.They claim this as authentic rajasthani food, but i uderstand rajasthanis eat lot of onions Veg offcourse.

Funny enough I've read the reviews for LMB and more recently they've not been great . I'm a lover of garlic /onion and find food rather lacking in taste when it's omitted .

As for Chokhi Dhani , once again popularity has caused their standards to slip it would appear from reviews . Also they reckon the journey out there at night can be pretty scary as the drivers use it as a race track...this put me off totally .

My hotel does a thali and from one guest photo it looks lovely , but I have seen others from restaurants that specialise in thalis and they look the best , infact they look divine .

Something Like this....now I am feeling hungry....

I am sorry sir, then you to taste one made by my mom. Actual kadi is made without Onions and garlics.

Infact in my home all food is cooked without onion and garlic.

Regarding Rajasthan, our roots are from Rajasthan only and a large section of society their avoids onion and garlic, however majority does eat them. Otherwise Pyaz Kachori will not be so popular there .

I was there last week itself (Id Weekend) and here are my thoughts

Choki Dhani - It was Sunday night and it was very crowded. The entry price was bit of a surprise for me, but I did not know food was part of it. Anyhow we shelved out Rs. 350 per head and went in, and gosh was that place crowded. The buffet was more crowded than open langars. Anyhow, once we settled in the food was lovely and it was worth my moneys worth. This was my first time there, and I found the quality to be quite god looking at the crowd over there.

LMB - We decided to have our breakfast there, it was Id morning, and only couple of tables were occupied. Decided to go Authentic, ordered Bedmi Sabzi, Pyaz Kachoris and Dal Kachoris. bedmi sabzi was nothing to write home about, and was rather steeply priced. Kachoris even though Rs.16 and Rs.20 a piece respectively, were quite good and worth the effort.

Agreed shashank there is no comparison for food cooked by our Mothers.Yes, kadi is cooked without onion or garlic, but pakora accompaning it are some times made of onion e.t.c.

Has LMB started serving Pyaz kachoris, i always thought onions was big no no there.

cityMONK

Very temptating indeed, When ever in bombay i order such thalis but justification to all sabzis and dals is impossible with accompning poori or Maida rotis.Ratio of roti to subji is bit of imbalance.

shashank.aggarwal

I dunno about that, but I had Pyaz kachoris or sure

delhiwala

Once I had a thali at Haldiram's at Nagpur...it was very very good.......

cityMONK

Dear shahank and delhiwala,
Yes they are great and they serve in passing trains also, that is how i had a taste of thier thali without visiting nagpur city.
Indore is also very famous for veg stuff and thalis.

can we plan a meetup for for authentic BEDAMI POORI in chandhani chowk or some other place.I am posting some venues in new delhi meet up thread, your suggestions are required urjently.
