Royal Thaali

One of the best Thaali experiences that I have had in the Bay area. I love the fact that it's pure vegetarian and you'll have a new experience on every visit. All thaalis are unlimited. We went for the Sunday Rajasthani special thaali that had an amazing spread which is not easily available in other restaurants. Menu keeps changing. Ours included Daal Baati, Kadhi, Bhindi Aloo, Navratna Korma, Gatte ki Sabji, Kaju Makhane ki Sabji, Fruit Cream, Moong dal Halwa, Mirchi Vada, Moongode, Jeera Rice, Masala Rice, Puri and Roti. We had a quick chat with the owner who was very courteous and went around making sure everyone was served well. I could sense her genuine enthusiasm towards customers. The space is a bit limited so it gets filled up fast. We reached between 11-11.30 am and amongst the first batch to be served. People had started lining up outside within half an hour. So plan accordingly. Edit: We also tried Punjabi Special Thaali recently on Friday evening, and it was absolutely amazing. Totally recommended. Edit 2: We got a chance to try the Gujarati thaali. Loved the Sev Tamatar Sabji the most. Updated the pictures. Check out more pictures, reels and recommendations on my Instagram food page @veggie_central

Good and Freshly cooked food. Thalis are unlimited. Food is never cold. Been there multiple times on weekdays for dinner and they had different menus. They update their weekly menu on their website. Servers are really nice. If it’s too crowded they might get slower since they need to take care of all the customers but they still do a decent job in managing customers. Love the price and the food. Haven’t had a chance to go on weekends when they do specials. Never had issue with free parking but I have only been there during weekdays.

I really love this place. If you enjoy authentic Indian vegetarian food with many dishes, please check out this restaurant. The food is very tasty and not oily at all. I can always count on them to have unique and exciting dishes. They have great service and the waiters are very attentive.

Updated review - visited the place apprehensively after our experience from last visit. To our surprise, they have improved their reservation system. Waiting time was less than 30 mins even though we were told that it would be more than 45 mins. The service quality was great and food is very delicious and satwik. Will visit again. Very poor management of reservations. The restaurant told us to wait an hour. After waiting for more than an hour ,the server told us for another hour. There is no system for reservations and it is very frustrating. Left without eating. Many families did the same.

We tried the Gujarati Thali on a Sunday during Mango festival! The food is overrated, nothing worth remembering or worth having on repeat. Aamras was super artificial, over sweet. The service was super quick. The staff had eyes on the plate to replace quickly. The seating is really cramped and ambience is average.

Excellent thali (platter of a wholesome Indian meal, like a buffet). The food itself is really really good, and the staff does a good job with the limitations (i.e. space is too small, for a place that serves "unlimited" food) That being said, they seem to be understaffed for the experience they're trying to deliver. Other reviews talk about the wait time between the different food items you're being served i.e. your curry and lentils get cold while you wait for the bread to be served. The 2nd helping of something you really enjoyed might take a long, really long time before you get it. So you might have built up an appetite to come and fully enjoy the "unlimited" thali...but make sure you come with unlimited patience as well. We never got our chutneys that we asked for thrice. There wasn't any water served eithet. They seemed to be hesitant to repeat portions of certain things, although I don't think that was intentional... but perception becomes reality. Again, overworked, understaffed possibly. Taking this into consideration, it feels a bit pricey to have a $25+ thali which you are unable to fully enjoy and feel welcome! All easy things to fix - you certainly have great food. Hope you all do. Thank you Royal Thaali - we might see you again!

We were a hungry group of six...got there at 5 but the dinner service didn't open till 6. Food was okay..but fresh and warm( rotis and puris) so I appreciated it. The service was very good, they kept the service flowing constantly to make sure we had enough food. A little dissatisfied with hygiene because my spoon was dirty, there were some fly sighting and some food spots on utensils. I really liked the fancy plate settings...something different. Thanks

Looks like a Maharastrian style of Vegetarian full course meals. At this time of year they used seasonal spices , it is very aromatic and tasty and moderately low spicy. Keep your appetite and hunger feeling high before coming to lunch. I recommend mindfulness eating , don’t indulge into any Mobile or family discussions over the table. Just focus on the food. You will enjoy it.
