As I am in Aurangabad, I visited Shahi Bhoj Thali in the CIDCO outlet. I heard many things about this place. Thus, I visited it for dinner. Firstly, I have to wait outside for 15 minutes to get a seat. Then I entered the restaurant and told them for thali. There is unlimited thali. As they claim, their thali is Gujarati and Rajasthani, and I was eager to have different cuisine from Maharashtra. The thali was big, and they started serving many things one by one. First they serve water, buttermilk, and jaljeera; then they serve snacks like dhokla, mini samosa, and palak chaat. Then the sabjis, like shevbhaji, aloo matar, chavali, and aloo curry. In breads they served chapati, bhakri with jaggery, and puri. The taste of the snacks and all the sabjis was ok, not so good. I don't find any item from Gujarati or Rajasthani cuisine except dhokla. So I was disappointed by them. They served all Maharashtrian cuisine in there, sabjis also in the rice; they served plain rice and khichdi. Khichadi was totally bland. I found it tasteless, so I took the plain rice. After that, it's time for dessert: jalebi, sheera, and chocolate basundi. I like some of the few items from there; I like palak chaat and chocolate basundi. As it was an unlimited thali, the staff didn't take snack items twice after being told 2 to 3 times; then they took it. I don't find this place affordable because firstly, they don't serve Gujarati thali in the items as they claim, and then the taste of the food was not that good, and most of the items you don't like remain as they are in the thali; thus, it is a waste of food. I would not suggest this...

Visited Shahi Bhoj on 28 april 2025 for their pure vegetarian thali experience. The restaurant is usually very crowded but has good seating and a clean, simple ambience.

They serve only thalis, and the menu changes daily, which is nice.

Welcome drink (Jaljeera): Refreshing and tasty (4/5).

Sweets: Amras (4/5) and Mohanthal Halwa (3.5/5) were good, but Jalebi was disappointing (2.7/5).

Farsan: Dhokla was fresh and soft (4/5), but the Samosa was stale and terrible (0/5).

Chat:Dahi wada chat was good(4.5/5]

Sabjis: Paneer Makhana was not good and lacked flavor. Tondali Achari Dry (3/5) was average, while Aloo Baingan Chiriya and Ragda Watana were better (4/5).

Special Veg: Shev Bhaji (4/5) was tasty, but Veg Kolhapuri was a big letdown (1/5).

Rice and Dal: Plain Rice (3.8/5), Moong Dal Khichdi (3/5), and Dal Fry (3.5/5) were okay.

Kadhi: Didn’t like the Gujarati Kadhi (2/5).

Breads: Phulka, Puri, and Bhakri (served with ghee and jaggery) were quite good (4/5).

Extras: Pithla was decent (3.5/5). Complimentary paan at the end was a nice touch.

Service: The service deserves special mention, with quick and attentive staff (4.8/5).

Pricing : ₹400 per adult and ₹300 for kids (4–8 years). Slightly expensive considering the inconsistent food quality.

Parking: Difficult to find, especially on weekends.

Overall. 6.5/10 You can definitely try Shahi Bhoj once for a different thali experience, but with the food being hit-or-miss and the pricing on the higher side, taste wise its below average,it’s not something I would...
