Thalis are the best way to enjoy a sumptuous Indian meal with variety in flavour and types of foods. You pay a price and then it's an all-you-can-eat bonanza as you are served rice, pooris, phulkas, dals, curries, and various kinds of dessert.
1. Rajdhani, New Delhi
Cuisine: Rajasthani and Gujarati
Price: Rs. 400 - 465
Serving up a thali that mixes the cuisines of both western states, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to the food. There's luck for those of you who don't know when to stop, as the waiters are more than happy to refill your plate as many times as you want. The menu changes on a daily basis as well as with the seasons, so you're not likely to get bored. Enjoy chhanch or aam panna with a thali of Rajasthani and Gujarati favourites like Guthiya, Dal bati churma, Kadi and Dhokla.
