Taste of Rajasthan - but with a contemporary twist

Chokhi Dhani

A great Indian restaurant for fine dining. The food is authentic Indian. Great place to eat if you are sick of eating anglicized Indian food. The ambience is soothing and the staff are very courteous. Specially the manager, Mr. Jha is a great person and host. They have a huge collection of drinks and good cocktails as well. The only drawback I found was that they cannot customize the food according to your taste. But it's totally understandable. Overall a great restaurant to visit with family and friends. Though it's a bit expensive but totally worth the price. Highly recommended.

Visited this place for lunch. Good ambience right from the imposing elephant 🐘 at the front, carrying thru into the rest of the restaurant. Service was very warm and welcoming. In fact I was very pleasantly happy as the waiters including the manager make you feel welcome and have no airs unlike some high end restaurants.
Ordered some cocktails as they have a decent selection of unusual cocktails. We tried the Spice Jungle, Jaipur Fizz, White Elephant and Wild Storm. All really good, and would recommend them.

While we waited for the mains, the unique feature of this restaurant came to the fore. They had a collection of traditional Indian articles and jewellery which not only made for a nice display, but you could also buy them. This definitely got our table and some of the other customers excited and engaged. A truly fantastic concept, often popular with Rajasthani themed restaurant villages in India.

Choice of mains was made simple as they have a thali, an assortment of veg dishes - the Maharani thali or and assortment with meat dishes included - the Maharaja thali. Both were excellent. The staff very attentive, asking if we needed any second helpings for any of the dishes in the thali. The Lal Maas was the best, as was the Dal bati. We also ordered a lamb biryani which was very yummy, but made in a Rajasthani style. I would have preferred a different sweet dish in the thali though.

The manager was very courteous and took the time to come to the table to chat with us about the restaurant and it's concept, giving us an honestly refreshing perspective. I truly admire his dedication to his job and customers

Overall a great time, with decent food, good cocktails and superior ambience, concept and service.

I was expecting a lot more of Rajasthani taste from Chokhi Dhani which was bit less in the food. The restaurant has a great ambience, place and the view. I really liked the items in Maharaja Thali but if they could increase the quantity of Bati in the Thali would be great as single Bati is not enough to finish all the food in the plate. I believe the spices were kept less as it is hard for everyone to eat spicy food, but overall I had a great experience with them. Hope to visit them soon and enjoy more Baatis.

We are glad we spotted this place as we were walking by... We ordered biryani, the Maharaja thali it was awesome ...the ambiance,the service, the food,the staff,the interiors is simply awesome and I can go on  ... The staff by name Aliston was very nice, helpful and he was the one who suggested us to try few dishes like prawn balchao, the sweet dish ... also explained us the Rajasthani authentic dishes ... The golden jungle is a must try cocktail ...I bet you won't regret it ... A place you can be with your friends, family. Do visit this  place

This restaurant is very good if you like Gujrati and rajsthani food. Different from the other Indian restaurants where they try to cater Indian food to the British taste and create rubbish in the process.
