A great chicken tikka masala here, which is a large portion and comes with a large side of rice. It was large enough for 2-3 meals. The garlic nan also came as a significant portion.
Great pricing, amazing portions, and very tasty.
This spot is also very close to where I work and I was in the mood for some spicy flavorful Indian food. I figured I would give this spot a try. When I ordered I specified that I wanted the goat vindaloo Indian spicy not American spicy as I love spicy food. I was excited for this. I arrive at the restaurant and it is very underwhelming but those are some of the best spots to eat so I thought nothing of it. My order wasn't ready but the staff was nice and the wait wasn't long. When I started to eat I notice that the goat was not spicy at all it was very disappointing. The garlic naan was excellent but I was there for the goat. The flavor was there but the spice wasn't. I may try them again to see if they can do better because I really want to like this place.
All said and done it was disappointing but if you don't like spicy this place is for you.
Incredible Indian food.
The restaurant was empty on a Friday evening which usually is a bad sign. The air was thick and humid. The place was also eerily silent. However, after a few minutes they put on some Indian Pop music videos which added a level of whimsical authenticity to the joint. Along came in many loyal local patrons picking up food to go, which to me was a good sign.
My girlfriend was said the dimly lit restaurant felt like a fake Bollywood movie set and I agreed. The place was also eerily quiet but they put on some fun Indian Pop music videos.The ambiance definitely has a twilight zone type vibe. Despite the weird setting, the Indian food was one of the best I've ever had.
We ordered a sag paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Poori bread.
Being a spice addict I also ordered the Chicken Vindaloo.
The Sag paneer was delicious. It tasted like creamed spinach you get in a steak house with a little kick. The paneer itself had a slightly firm but not too firm texture.
The Chicken Tikka Masala was velvety and had just the right amount of sweetness to it. A perfect marriage of sweet and savory. The pieces of white meat actually tasted like real chicken unlike other Indian joints with overly dry and crumbly pieces of chicken.
The Chicken Vindaloo was the best I've ever had. It was clean and crisp and not overly greasy if that's possible. I asked for it extra spicy and they The pieces of chicken were dark and juicy. There were also chunks of potato which soaked up the spices nicely.
The poori bread was slightly greasy but the Garlic Naan was pretty awesome and not overly doughy.
Rajdhani offers some high class Indian cuisine in a sketchy neighborhood. If you feel like you are tough enough, you should definitely give this place a shot.
Came back here for dinner and dined in. The service was excellent and the food was delish. Started us off with a complimentary food that I am completely unfamiliar with. Started with vegetable samosas. My friend found a little eyelash on hers so they comped it. Could have been her hair, but who cares? Free food. She also ordered a beer and I got a cocktail off their drink menu. It was fruity but made with top shelf liquor so it was strong and good quality. We also ordered tandoori chicken, basmati rice, garlic naan bread, and a spinach and cheese dish. Everything was delish. Portions are more than enough. Meal was a little under $50 due to drinks, but was worth it.
After many years of skepticism and waffling, I decided to check out this spot tonight. I have heard many great things from neighbors who have dined and/or taken out from here so I thought "What the heck…?"
Ordered a single dish for take out as it was just me eating and I know Indian restaurants tend to be pretty generous when packing a container with biryani. I had the lamb biryani which was accompanied by a small container of raita and (mostly) lemon pickle. As expected, the container was jam-packed and truly is enough for 2 people with a moderate appetite…or enough for one "starving" individual.
The rice was fluffy and contained tons of lamb. The raita was decent but nothing special and there was not enough of it for my liking. Then again, I like a lot of raita when I'm enjoying biryani with pickle so perhaps others would be fine with the amount they include with the order. I did like the pickle although it was not spicy – mostly tangy. I didn't mind though.
I wished there was a little more flavor/seasoning but perhaps my seasonal allergies prevented me from truly detecting/enjoying that. Given the overall visual and textural presentation, I would give this dish another go and will likely try some other items as well.
Beware that parking can be a little tricky due to it's location (Hillside Ave./Francis Lewis Blvd.) and lack of a private lot. If you don't mind walking a block or, this shouldn't be a huge problem most of the time. The do have a catering/banquet hall attached the dining hall so that may increase the parking issues if there is an event taking place when you drop in to dine.
Ordered the Garlic Naan and the butter chicken. It was yummy. The sauce for the butter chicken was really good. I asked for mild but there was certainly some heat in there. I guess there version of mild is still spicy lol… When I was younger I couldn't really handle the heat. Now luckily I can otherwise I would of been drinking the entire container of milk. I plan to try a few more items in the future.
