Gujarati thali institution with endless, complex vegetarian dishes
"Plenty of Indian restaurants around town offer an unlimited lunch buffet. At Rajhani in Artesia, you get a full AYCE Thali feast for $29, which includes crispy papadum and salad, dal, spongy dhokla, roti, and various pickled vegetables and chutneys. Everything is delivered by servers to the table, and the second you finish something, expect a refill within seconds. Rajdhani’s website states that after the meal is over, “a nap is highly recommended,” and we fully agree." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
"This all-you-can-eat South Indian spot will keep your thali tray full until you tap out. Located on the second floor of a busy strip mall, this entirely vegetarian restaurant offers a rotating selection of stews, masala curries, and desserts for $26 per person. Keep this place in mind for a big weekday lunch—which ends at 2:45pm—or a weekend dinner feast with friends who are down to sample whatever spice-rich specials the chef brings over. If it’s warm out, grab a seat on their patio which overlooks a crowded stretch of Pioneer Blvd." - nikko duren, brant cox

"This “vegetable restaurant” on Pioneer Boulevard is famous for its 10-course Gujarati-style thali buffet. It’s a steam table-less affair where waiters dish up flaky breads, hearty lentils, tangy curries, and even dessert tableside, until you say mercy." - Virali_Dave, Eater Staff
"One of the best dishes to get in Artesia is a thali, the plate that has it all. Rajdhani is known for its Western Indian thalis, or big metal plates filled with smaller quantities and a wider variety of dishes including vegetable stews, lentils, rice, and freshly made bread." - Virali Dave
