Rajdhani Street - Al Karama

Tuesday, November 27, 2018 7 Comments A+ a-

Rajdhani is known for its King size vegetarian thali and unlimited food. They are mainly specialized in Rajasthani and Gujarati food. They have opened new restaurant in Al Karama; Rajdhani Street which serves mainly the Indian Street Food and North Indian dishes. 

This new outlet of Rajdhani Street is completely different in every aspect be it the seating arrangements, ambiance of the restaurant or the flavors of food. The bright colors and different things which is most common like Gola Gaada (Cart) and even the Tiffin Box Cycle which is mostly in metropolitan cities of India, it gives the unique touch. And the Sign board with restaurant name reminds me of the village board.

This place have made the fusion of Indian food with other different country cuisine like Dhokla Pizza, Pav Bhaji in Fondue style etc. Even the menu card have been designed keeping the roads and signals to different places. The presentation of  food is good as well as the customer service.

What We Tried There:
  • Rajasthani Cheese Mirch Wada
  • Kutchi Dabeli
  • Pav Bhaji Fondue
  • Puchka Bombs
  • Zaitooni Paneer Tikka
  • Bharwan Mushroom Tikka
  • Dahi Ke Kofte
  • Paneer Tikka Paratha
  • Tandoori Laccha Paratha
  • Maharaja Lassi
  • Kulukki Sherbet
  • Hara Pudina Shikanji
  • Jalebi With Rabdi
We first ordered the Maharaja Lassi which is huge glass of kesar and mixture of dry fruits and dahi. It was very appetizing and good start, #MustTry.

Our second drink was Kulukki Sherbet, it had chia seeds, lemon and green chilly.It was more of spicy lemonade which instantly refreshes.

Starting with the Quick Bites we first tried the Rajasthani Cheese Mirch Wada, it is a capsicum which is stuffed with mixture of cheese with Indian spices, served with mint chutney, tamarind chutney and Dahi.. I loved the start of my dinner, it was delicious and little spicy but if you can have it with sweet tamarind chutney which will make it even taste better. The quantity is good for the price, if you have small appetite then this can make you full.

Next was #MyFavorite the Kutchi Dabeli, this is my childhood dish which I can have entire of my life, it is my go to comfort food. It is Indian Pav that is stuffed with sweet thick peanut chutney, sev, pomegranate seeds, mint chutney. It is one of the under rated food item but trust me you need to try this out, I #HighlyRecommend you to try this.

From the Street Special Section we told to try the Pav Bhaji Fondue which sound very interesting.
The thick consistency of Bhaji is always warm even after it is served. The small mini pieces of Indian pav is made which is to be dipped in fondue. Pav was soft and buttery which was delish with bhaji, #MustTry.

Next we tried was Puchka Bombs, it is new version of pani puri. This puris are stuffed with cheese and fried nicely, it makes it crispy from outside and soft from inside. It is served with the mint water which is used in pani puri. But we also added a tamarind chutney which made it more tastier, I wish they serve the tamarind chutney with it. This puchkas are huge so be careful if you want to have it in once.

At this point we had to refill our drinks so we opted for Hara Pudina Shikanji which is pure lemonade with chia seeds, it was amazing. Even by the end of our dinner both of us couldn't finish it because firstly the quantity is too much and served in huge cylindrical glass which reminded me of Science Laboratory.

For main tandoor we started with the Zaitooni Paneer Tikka, soft and juicy paneer is stuffed with olives (zaitoon) and marinated nicely little of Indian spices not making it too spicy. The tikka was delicious and perfect as a starter.

Next we had the Bharwan Mushroom Tikka, it is spicy and nicely stuffed. I loved the mint chutney with it. If you like spicy food then it will be perfect for you, #MustHave.

For Mains we tried the Dahi Ke Kofte, the thick gravy with yummy dahi kofte. I was surprised as I had not imagined to be this good it complimented well with the Tandoori Laccha Paratha and even the Paneer Tikka Paratha which is stuffed nicely with paneer. Paneer Tikka paratha was served with Dal Bhukhara and pickle.

In Buffet Menu they have mix of Indian, Italian, Middle Eastern food. You can also ask the restaurant to alter the few dishes or replace it for your people as you like.

For all the Desi food lovers they have the Mutton Biryani which was so delicious and meat was perfectly cooked. They also had the Butter Chicken which was good and complimented well with the Naan

They had Normal Rice which complimented the Thai Curry. I liked it but couldn't eat more because I was full.

Lastly for dessert they have Gulab Jamun, Caramel Pudding, Rice Pudding and few fresh fruits. For drinks there is either fresh Watermelon juice or Canned Mango Juice. In hot beverages they also have Tea and Coffee.

Dubai is place that is developing in every way be it fashion or any other trend. It is one of the place where you can find everything very easy. My favorite thing to explore is food in Dubai. Recently I got a chance to visit a restaurant which serves everything stuffed in bun, It is That Place.
It is newly opened in Al Karama. It serves Indian, Mexican, Lebanese and Italian cuisine mostly stuffed in buns. That Place have very cozy and fresh vibes because of the bright mix of colors of pink and aqua teal. The tiny little cafe is beautiful and they also have board games to get back to childhood memories.

What We Tried There:
  • Punjabi Di Chai 
  • Lotus Milk Shake
  • Cold Coffee
  • Banana Crunch
  • Punjabi in Ktown
  • Honey Cheese Oman Bun
  • Mushroom Dancers Bun
  • Tango Chicken Bun
We started with the Punjab Di Chai in Ginger flavor. It was very strong and perfectly done. 

We also had Lotus Milk Shake which is very basic and nothing fancy but it tasted very nice. Other drink was Cold Coffee, this was very strong with less sweet, good for people who likes less sugar in it.

We started with the Punjabi in Ktown, it is french fries with topped with spicy garlic sauce and Cheetos. It was delicious and a good start with the yumminess.

Now comes the major delicacy of this place which is Buns. They are freshly made and served hot which is hygienic. 

Starting with Honey Cheese Oman Bun, if you are grown in Dubai then you will know about Oman Chips which is favorite of every kid of 90's. The bun is stuffed with mixture of honey and cheese, sprinkled with oman chips on top. It was delicious and compliments well with Chai.

Next we tried the Mushroom Dancers Bun, this is Italian style bun with sliced mushrooms, mozzarella and Italian sauce. It tasted nice when it was served hot, all the cheese melted from the center. But as it got cold it was difficult to get a proper bite so make sure you have it fast.
Mushroom Dancers Bun
Our last bun was stuffed with Tango Chicken which is a Mexican style. It had Mexican salsa sauce, cheese and Mexican chicken. I loved it the most because it was little spicy and satisfied my taste bud.

Lastly for dessert we tried the Banana Crunch which is again stuffed in bun. This bun is stuffed with banana paste and baked. Topped with vanilla ice cream and fried banana. I didn't like it, banana paste kind of put me off and it didn't even tasted nice.

Overall I had a good experience, the ambiance is very elegant. Perfect quick hangout place for meet with friends. The pricing is little bit expensive side for the quantity.
